  1. What are you guys having for breakfast today? Is it your usual one or do you have a special weekend breakfast?

  2. Is there a name for a process which is theoretically reversible, but not in practice? For example, if you mix two chemicals and a reaction occurs to produce a product, that’s not reversible. But what if you mix the two chemicals, no reaction occurs, but you can’t separate them, either? Like when you make a cake batter. Theoretically all components are still there, the information on the composition of the initial components is not lost, but you can never separate it back to flour, milk, eggs etc. Is this also an irreversible process? 

    I can’t quite figure it out. Maybe there’s irreversible in theory and irreversible in practice.

  3. Recently I somehow managed to fall into a giant Youtube rabbit hole of Lithuanian indie music and I have so many questions. Firstly, how did I manage to live over 30 years of my life without [Solo Ansamblis](https://youtu.be/BwVRXECKZb8?si=IPDnZEwjpoas_To1) and secondly, how can such a tiny country with such a tiny consumer market that I assume must be almost entirely confined to Lithuania produce so much indie music?

  5. I was at a concert in Helsinki, orchestra played four pieces, including an electric bass concerto starring Victor Wooten which was pretty cool. Ended in Finlandia. Which is great, but it can be a bit overplayed.

    Anyway, what surprised me was the president was there. He and the conductor, Jukka-Pekka Saraste, had like a 10-15 min conversation on stage before the music started. It’s nice to have a president who can have such conversations, you know, form coherent sentences and shit, but nevertheless dude is such a politician. All his answers were textbook politician answers. Still, I don’t believe I have ever seen the president, any president, with my own two eyes.

    Have any of you seen the head of state of your countries? Or other countries, perhaps?

  6. Tereyağlı Kedi would like [today’s New York Times crossword.](https://imgur.com/a/fTZlNHq) 😀

    Does anyone else do crosswords or other word games daily? I have the NY Times Games app so I do the crosswords and a few other word games.
