A Call For Humor!

Smart and interesting guy. I was privileged to work with him a long while back.

His quoted observation (EDIT at face value) is an interesting non-example of the old rule of thumb that a 10 degree (C) increase in temperature doubles the rate of a chemical reaction.
Of course, the biochemistry and bionenergetics of living systems is 1) hella interesting and 2) vivid evidence of life kinda flipping the bird at thermodynamics. Also of course, thermodynamics still win(s).

Let an AI explain it to you, better than I remember:

While there is no direct evidence in the provided search results confirming that crowds systematically shouted "Jump, Jump, Jump" specifically in the early 1980s, similar behavior has been documented in more recent years.
Kevin Briggs, a former California Highway Patrol officer who spent over two decades responding to suicide attempts at the Golden Gate Bridge, recounted instances where onlookers encouraged jumpers. He described drivers yelling, “Jump! Jump, man! It’ll be good pictures!”—a pattern that persisted into the 2010s and likely existed earlier. This behavior, though not confirmed for the early 1980s in the given sources, reflects a long-standing issue of public reaction that can inadvertently pressure individuals in crisis.

"I've suffered for my music, now it's your turn!"

it's called free jazz cause it free of any musical content/merit at all.

And this from a lover of Jazz. It's basically why I don't have any Jazz albums in my collection recorded after 31/12/69.

This is the epoch date when Jazz went crazy... jazz fusion this/jazz fusion that.. free jazz etc

Beato!

When I do, I accept them as a gift from g_d and use them, trying to understand their meaning and purpose.

Also, I believe in the teleology of jazz. The reason for what went before was its role in the progress towards freedom.

These two things may be related, now that I think of it.

I mean... I'd just have to.

Don't

I dunno. The overhead programmable electronic highway display said DONT. It lacks the apostrophe and that may not be an omission. It could have been perhaps a narrow technical jargon abbreviation of doughnut and all that memetic adumbration was missing the point. If so, I say DO.
