who only has a BA in history. When I asked him to accompany me to a lecture about degenerate white dwarfs, he eagerly accepted. But he was embarrassed: it wasn’t what he had hoped for.

West Hunter 
He’s lucky not to have had a jolly red giant in the room…
Now that I think of it a brown star sounds like a personal problem.
I was also disappointed! Degenerate white dwarfs do not have black holes.
You know, this is right on the borderline of something I could actually believe…
Weepy, Sleazy, Sappy, Mopey, Stumpy, Vengeful, and Hock.
That is funny. But why do people get useless degrees…that is sad.
I noticed my sharper cousins did practical degrees. The not so sharp ones didn’t.
H.L. Mencken:
The similar thing could be said about physics and math versus biology.
Only by idiots who dont know that much of modern biology IS maths. But then, you knew that and were only joking (of course?)
the creation and massive extension of relatively easy degrees derived from sociology is how the cultural marxists engineered the brain washing of the west
Studying history isn’t useless, but for most people (i.e. those who aren’t going to spend years looking at primary sources like manorial rolls) is probably best done outside a university, Lots of books out there.
I heard that those cool Black Dwarfs evolve from hot Degenerate White Dwarfs. Those dense lectures are not for the weak-hearted!
That friend wasn’t one David Brooks, was it? Nah.
Well they could have talked about both if they wanted to.
Were any of the degenerate white dwarfs in a binary relationship?
How Impish of you.
“Brooks” is the plural of a wet thing that runs downhill.
“only has a BA in history”
So at the top of any given pyramid, the middle looks like the bottom?
Most people don’t even graduate college!
You should have done like David Brooks and suggested decamping for a Mexican restaurant.
What do you call a nerdy shitlord. Nerdlord?
So, exactly how tall are you?
That has to be because he didn’t stick around until they get to the part of how things can get pretty explosive if that degenerate white dwarf regularly takes it from a partner…
He was hoping for midgets, not dwarfs. Rookie mistake.
It wasn’t about Wagner? Damn.
My major was history; but I tried to learn as much in the STEM fields as my poor little humanistic brain could handle, because that is a truly “liberal” education in the original sense. You can’t understand human history if you are ignorant of the changes in our understanding of the natural world and improvements in our ability to manipulate it. Also, I have had a long-standing interest in astronomy for both intellectual and aesthetic reasons.
