I wonder if there is any physicist who has been part of a team that discovered an element which made their name spellable

Or possibly, made theit name no longer spellable, by replacing one of the placeholders

Unrelated String

...that's a really interesting question

in the sense that i have no intuition for how likely it is

IKEA turned @Steffan into a chair

ikea.com/au/en/p/stefan-chair-white-30388844

and the best part is that my parents ordered two of them

not because of the name, but pure coincidence

Radvylf Programs

Not a bad looking chair

user

Aaron plates and Steffan chairs, what's next, Unrelated String strings?

Radvylf Programs

Wouldn't be surprised if the screws were constanlty loosening themselves and making the chair creaky though

Am suffering that with my current desk chair which is wooden

I wish office chairs weren't so wide though

Like a ruler is wider than me I don't need half the width og my desk to be c h a i r

user

Some people need chairs that wide

Radvylf Programs

Yeah, but I don't, and there are very few that are narrow and I have limited space

user

Yeah but I doubt IKEA is going to build the same chair in different widths for every single size

These thin people smh

Radvylf Programs

Well no but like, office chairs are the only type with that issue

Gaming chairs, wooden chairs, chairs you'd put around a table, school desk chairs, all fairly narrow and normally sized

People who sit in offices all day long tend to be fatter :P

Radvylf Programs

I'm not sure that's true

People who sit in offices all day long likely make more money, and people who make more money tend to be healthier

People who work in jobs where they stand on their feet all day might have that going for them, but in return make mininum wage

And it's hard to do things like eat healthy food, exercise regularly, and be informed about how to do those two things if you don't have the income to spend on non-essentials

Most jobs I can think of fall into either the pay-less-but-you-stand/walk or pay-more-but-you-sit categories

Guess that'd make sense, wonder if there've been any studies on this

Steffan

Lmao

@user I'm pretty thin, it matches pretty well

standing desks might be a confounding factor :P

@UnrelatedString also speaking of i just ran into the 2017 re-recording and the first few seconds were so weird to listen to

because it's like
it's the same unit singing in the same style, completely identical on the instrumental side of things
but one of the singers is 6 years older than when she recorded the original in iirc middle school (plus some differences in pronunciation) and the other is a completely different person
