No. But Scientist is a profession, and we rarely wear suits.

This is insane. Similar across the world I believe. I hope this variant IS weaker.

My Dad felt otherwise. When he went in for surgery to address BPH, he taped a limerick to his tummy for the surgeon. I've forgotten the first two lines, but the last word of the first line was probably "Smith". The last three lines were,
Don't make it longer,
Don't make it stronger.
Just fix it so I can pith
Mind you, when he went in for hernia surgery, he had a similar note taped to him -Don't make it stronger.
Just fix it so I can pith
A fellow named Smith with a hernia,
Said to his doctor, "Goldurn ya!
While fixing my middle,
Please do not fiddle
With matters that do not concern ya!"

It’s got a carbon rig, molded sails, and a modern keel, but the rest was designed in the 20s

Some of both, mainly the latter. They are pretty optimized, like diamond-frame bicycles, but that’s a picture of the go-fast class start. The slower, amateur-sailed boats are much more diverse and some are a century old.

Compare it to a top end custom bike with endurance geometry and eyelets for stuff. It was custom built in cold-molded wood for a very wealthy guy who wanted traditional beauty, speed, and comfort. It’s absolutely stunning up close and has all the creature comforts. The second owner cruises and races it in New England and is trying to get us to do a transatlantic race with him so he can sail in Europe for a year or so.

Was supposed to spend a nice quiet NYE with the wife and kids. Unfortunately their mom found out mid day yesterday they’d been exposed at a Christmas gathering she brought them to, so we spent the night isolated from each other in masks instead. Happy ******g new year.
