Re: Engineer's Guide to Dating
I thought this was going to have useful tips, like:
"Carry an I-beam with a high enough yield stress so you can smash yourself in the head and knock yourself unconscious if she starts talking stupid. For instance, 'my hobbies are...well..um...shopping...HAHAHAHAH!'" If I had a fiver for every time I heard that one...
"Charged 1-F capacitors are a good option if you need to taser a jerk who won't leave your date alone. It is also a much handier alternative to an I-beam."
"If she is not used to drinking, don't go to a bar. It is easy for her to get stuck in a positive feedback loop of increasing BAC. Someone will have to clean up the vomit."
"'Mass defect' can be used to calculate both the energy released from fission, and the regret you have after your date inhales the parent nuclides of a $200 dinner check."
"The intensity of your B.O. follows the inverse-square law. Stand close, but not too close."
"If you try to accelerate the pace of your relationship, you may massively regret what you are forced to put up with."
"Distance, shielding, and time are important factors in exposure to both radiation and the insanely stupid things she says."
