Reminds me of the opening paragraph from ‘States of Matter’:
Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics.
That opening goes pretty fucking hard.
University Physics sucks but physical chemistry is all Boltzmann all the time and it’s so awful
economics has a million texts by a million econ professors and a few good ones by greg mankiw
the older the meme gets the more it seems to dissipate into low res and compression artifacts. It’s like a fading memory

I loved that book!
I have that book. It has an absolute ton of practice problems. They were not very helpful for my electricity & magnetism final!
Yup. Study the past papers, not the textbook.

Absolution by Jeff Vandermeer.
Is that the new one? This spring i read the 3 original ones (had never heard of the series A friend turned me on to it) but I’ve been holding off reading the new one to make it last.
Goodnight moon, not me but baby, got carried away saying bye to everything while sleepy and delusional
Never cried reading a book. And I read a ton. Cry with music, TV, and movies. Never books though. Weird. Never thought about it.
Have you read University Physics by Young?
And Freedman. Feel like its appropriate to mention his name for some reason.
Well, sure, but Freedman only joined several years and editions after my copy of the book was printed so I only learned about him today and in my mind the book is still just University Physics by Young, sorry about that.
Try reading them in bed laying on your back. When you fall asleep and drop them on your face, the heavy ones will make you cry.

Way to explain the joke, Roger.
