@mxchara@cyberpunk.lol @davidculley@hachyderm.io What puzzles me is why wearing a suit would make someone feel like Feynman. He wasn't a suit-wearing kind of guy. He had a running joke of refusing to wear a suit jacket to meet the Caltech faculty club's dress code and insisting on being given the most garish spare they had in the closet. He had a whole story about how he got used to dressing up for all the Nobel Prize ceremonies and then snapped back to informality when he visited CERN on the way back home.

    @bstacey@icosahedron.website @davidculley@hachyderm.io yeah that puzzles me too. was there some specific incident from Feynman's autobiographical writings where he wears a different suit every time just because he hated being made to wear one at all, or something
