Found the writeup of a System for Describing Extremely Large Numbers my grandfather designed a while back. The math is fascinating, and I don't understand half of even the first few pages.

It goes on for hundreds of pages. I feel like there's something I should be doing with it but I'm not sure what.

He begins with a putdown of someone else's System for Describing Extremely Large Numbers, and seems to have given various concepts or processes silly names.

I'm thinking I'll email the guy he's putting down to see if my grandfather ever actually got in contact with him or just printed out his challenge and kept it on the front of his binder o' weird math for years, which sounds like something he'd do tbh.

In the long run I'll try to contact a mathematician somehow, or maybe reorganize it a bit and see if I can find someone interested in making this thing into a book, because this seems like the sort of thing you need to do something about instead of just keeping it on a shelf somewhere. If anyone reading this has any suggestions for what to do with ~300 pages of absurd theoretical math with silly names, please tell me, I'm open to suggestions (genuine).

Suddenly had a need to listen to the Fat Boys do their Square One TV song comparing a million and a billion. It’s a goodie.

Deuteronomy 20:1 You Are In A War

When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them; for the Lord your God is with you, who brought you up from the land of Egypt. Deuteronomy 20:1 There are wars and battles going on all over the world. While there are many that are physical wars, with tanks, guns, and physical killings, the majority are a…

the number of afab people replying to the pain poll going "yeah I've broken limbs and had 1st degree burns and given birth but nothing tops my menstrual pain" is so fucked up it is unbelievable. and I was right there with everyone else until I stumbled on a low dose progestin regimen that just made me stop menstruating. which I would recommend to everyone except it just doesn't work for everyone. ask your doc about it though, it won't cause permanent side effects or injury to try it out. i take norethindrone 2.5mg 2x/day. this dose has to be different for each patient to work correctly, that's just what I take. there's some research to suggest synthetic progesterone like norethindrone is carcinogenic so I'm going to look into switching. anyway i just got extremely lucky. there is seriously nothing like it. it was the worst pain I ever felt until the urology incident and frankly I think the menstrual pain was already a factor in the outcome of the urology incident

Ken Sato, outfielder for the Yomiuri Giants, comes clean about giant spending habits!

In a recent interview, All-Star player Kenji Sato confessed to spending absurd amounts of money on grossly large sports memorabilia— mostly his own.

“I have a good, totally plausible reason for it,” Sato had plead, unconvincingly.

Sato bat an average of .420 last season, which puts him among the best. “It’s— ugh. Hm. Erm. It’s.” Unfortunately, he struck out severely in attempting to explain his spending habits.

“Don’t knock it ‘til you try it!” Sato swore, but then refused to give exact numbers in terms of pricing for those who may want to “try it”.

For the readers not in the know, a 15-foot recreation of Sato’s jersey recently went viral when commission details were leaked to the public. Our interviewer asked for a comment concerning the jersey, to which Sato is quoted to have said: “Well. I guess you can say I have a pretty big fan.”
