Bill @sempf.infosec.exchange.ap.brid.gy · 18/09/2026@bruces One of the most important things my dad ever taught me is, "Don't ignore the dude in the t-shirt." Most of the time, he said "sweatshirt," but the point still stands: don't analyze a person based on the dress code. Sometimes they like simple. That might be good. 101 0
John C. Baez @johncarlosbaez.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The physicists at Los Alamos probably didn't care much that Feynman wore a T-shirt. They were all objectively scary dudes, making the first atomic weapon - include Leo Szilard who thought it up, lying in his bathtub in a hotel. Good books to read include this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mak...en.wikipedia.orgThe Making of the Atomic Bomb - Wikipedia 000 0
