    Also, Elon Musk might be greatness on Earth, but relative to the Universe he's a grain of sand.

    Eat, excrete, fornicate, sleep, repeat, die.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Fornicate doesn't get repeated enough though.

    There are a great many options to fill the time between sleeping. Some more enjoyable than others, but none are really important in the meaning of life.

    As the great philosopher Homer once said, "Beer the cause of and solution to all life's problems " 😉

    Yes. Most major religions + various atheist/agnostic philosophers have offered various interpretations.

    It's also rather good for Medical and Technological advancement. Still not nice though.

    There is no formula to work out the circumference of an ellipse.

    What's with so many riders recently from far away places (India; Brazil; China etc.) all joining the Strava clubs local to me to post rides in their far away places, when I join my local clubs to try and get some route inspiration from others in Southampton riding around the South Downs?

    I wish there was a filter in Strava or Elevate, just like there is for hiding virtual rides and rides less than a certain distance.

    Using e for anything other than e is almost offensive. It's like using π for something else.

    Why don't cars (generally) have sun roofs any more?

    Never really got on with sunroofs in the UK. By the time it's hot enough to need it open, the sun's directly overhead so it's burning the top of my head, the turbulence is doing weird things with what's left of my hair, and I can't hear the radio. Eventually they all seemed to seize up and / or start leaking. Probably a metaphor for old age generally.

    Much prefer the shade of a roof and climate control. The latter ironically named since it's likely contributing to the climate going out of control...

    Might do a sunroof 'delete' on my 944 when it goes to the body shop. I do not like sunroofs.
