Hey guys! This is Hal1776! I’ve recently decided to abandon social media in favor of forums and email, and would like to formally introduce myself.
I’m 30 years old from Tennessee, and a huge science nerd. I like 90s and 2000s shows, and I like playing Halo, call of duty, Zelda and Mario.
Welcome!
Did you bring pie?
Cherry, apple, or blackberry?
Welcome to the Straight Dope. I hope you enjoy it.
science-math leads to 90 fairly recent science or math threads.
Hey, Hal? This is Dave. Why is it that you’re “afraid you can’t do that??”
Welcome.
Cherry, of course.
Pie Ultimate.
You’re confusing him with Hal 9000. Hal 1776 is a Kennedy Half Dollar.
So, “Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country.”
Welcome to the Dope! Science nerds always welcome here.
Most of us here are at least twice your age but we won’t hold it against you! Seriously, this is a great place and I hope that we see a lot of you here.
P.S.- Get yourself an avatar that reflects your personality.
Are you a man of wealth and taste?
I’ll be here a lot because I’m loving the slow pace of forums compared to social media.
Hi, Hal.
Welcome.
We aren’t slow, we’re…
Never mind, I’ll finish this later.
Hi, Hal.
Dave’s not here.
Hello from England. 
I had the same thought, are we supposed to guess their name?
Dave, stop. Stop, will you?
Welcome @Hal1776 ! This is a great place!
Welcome! Despite what the signs may say, the swimming pool is not open (Mariah’s always hungry these days due to the tariff on goats).
On to the important stuff: Ginger or Mary Ann?
Hoom, hoom, let’s not be hasty…
Yes!!!
Welcome. Nice to see some younger people here. I am also a math and science nerd, mainly math.
