Was gonna say, covid if anything made me more focused. I did so many side projects
Pictured: Sir Isaac Newton discovered gay rays on this day, which is why we celebrate pride.

Excellent picture of an excellent album. "The Black Album" is absolutely one of my favorite AC/DC albums. Not quite on par with "Nevermind", but it's definitely up there. "Stairway to heaven" alone makes this one of John Foggertys legendary works.
PS: It was a loss to the band when Wes Borland left, but David Gilmore is a pretty great replacement drummer.
things you can do to kill time in confinment
Then by year two of his lockdown, Newton was inserting a tiny lever under his own eyeball, inside the eye socket, to try and figure out how the eye captures and processes light.
I wonder what Newton would have done if he were alive today and tried to figure out furries.
ColoUrs, Newton was a well learned man! These meme creators, grrrr!
The U in USA had to come from somewhere!
CreatoUrs, thank you very much.
We've all heard the story of the falling apple, but did you know Newton figured out light while trying to make an album cover?
anal bum cover?
And calculating far too many digits of π by hand
and what did you do during corona lockdown huhhh?????
Completely rewrite the curriculum and problem sets for my advisor's grad-level course for flipped-classroom virtual teaching as opposed to in-person lectures. It was the pits for many reasons, not the least of which was that his attitude became "everyone is at home doing nothing, so I can ramble into a recording for 3 h instead of giving 1 h lectures and we can have a full problem set every week instead of 4 in a semester and the scheduled class time is now a problem session amd to answer students' questions :)".
And a fuckton of DFT calculations, so honestly, fair.
To many people back then, a prism turning a sumbeam into a spray of colors must have seemed like actual magic happening right before their eyes.
Still does.
