The belief that thermodynamic systems can be expressed using statistics. It is mostly used to more accurately express a system where there are many microstates involving microscopically observable quantities (e.g. kinetic energy of particle 1, 2, 3, ... , n-1, n or Potential energy of particle 1, 2, 3, ..., n-1, n as opposed to quantities like pressure or volume).
What the author of this article should be revising now, Statistical Mechanics (or stat mech as it's more conveniently known) can be described by many physics students as a "cluster-fuck of endless equations and probability distribution functions designed to intentionally screw up their mind altogether".
It is widely known that stat mech is utterly incomprehensible until the actual exam day, when all the nonsensical examples and equations (most notably finding the entropy of an elastic band expressed as a function of the number of links in said band, and the expression of gas molecules as masses on springs) seem to reach perfect clarity and they tend to walk out with at least a 2-1.

Is a damn good 70's glam rock-inspired album from the 90's. If David Bowie was doing a glam rock homage in the 90's, this would be the album he'd have written.
He'd also have tits if he was redoing the Aladdin Sane album cover.

Greg Burk of LA Weekly once wrote that Mechanical Animals is one of the greatest albums of the 90's. Small wonder Lady Gaga is copying this era of Marilyn Manson.

A bullshit term car sellers say when they’re trying to scam someone by selling them their trashed car instead of sending it to the scrapyard.
Buyer: *Searching for cars on OfferUp*
Seller’s ad: MECHANIC’S SPECIAL!!! 2020 Mustang for sale, engine and transmission are completely blown. It was also in a high speed collision

A Mechanism Male is defined as someone, usually male, who uses the mechanisms of the world to their own gain. Such as using the mechanism of trust to become filthy rich in the subtropical islands.
Take that guy over there as an example, what makes me different from him? He’s bigger than me, and he looks like a good student. He probably gets a big allowance from his parents, too. But he gets bullied. Meanwhile, I get money and sleep with women. Because he’s a beta cuck, and I’m a mechanism male
