Seems like I'm hearing a lot of slow burn these days. Has that replaced light years? A light year is a super-dee-duper long time, and multiple light years is a multiple of that. So someone tell me about this new slow burn deal.

Is slow burn the new light years?

I like eggs.
Light year is a measure of distance, not time…5.88 trillion miles
My favorite mis-used expression of this type is the term "quantum leap." A "quantum" is the smallest amount of energy you can have, and a quantum leap is the smallest possible change in an electron's energy. So a quantum leap means an incredibly small change (although a discontinuous change, which is where the word "leap" comes in). But somehow in ordinary conversation it started to mean a huge change - exactly the opposite of the original meaning. So if someone says we will make a quantum leap next year, they'll likely be right according to at least one of the definitions!

Yeah! Particle physics on the board!
And Latin!
So if we are slow burn does that still mean we are still light years ahead?
So you are going to be sucked in to your own ahole?
Only if we really lean into it and re-double our efforts.
Is that really necessary?
Why can't we have a light-hearted bit of board tom-foolery occurring in the offseason that doesn't involve taking shots at other members?
