  • Sorry to nerd out, but this reminds me of a senior grad student when I was a first year physics grad student. He was talking about the “order of magnitude” class that some professor was able to set up as a fun class for fulfilling his teaching requirements. It involved calculating or estimating order of magnitude values and putting them in units of something you can relate to (e.g. distance in terms of football fields, or your height, energy in an hour of air conditioning, etc.). In the spirit of this class, this guy used his dick for length and then came up with some other size unit to convert to for homework he had to hand in. The diameter of the Milky Way galaxy is 5 * 10^19 of this guy’s “dick units”, apparently.





  • I haven’t really used much cheats. I need to find up to date strategy guides, because I play infrequently enough that every time I come back and play Russia, it seems they change the strategy to get Russia back to socialism. Do I appease the Mensheviks and SRs and Narodniks to build an empowered Left/Center-Left to where Bukharin is optimistic about a coup, or do I always crack down and take the furthest right position for accelerationism to kick in? I remember both at some point being the way to get there.
