    Random Thoughts
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the splitting of larger threads to alleviate server load, specifically continuing the Random Thoughts thread. Participants express their thoughts on various topics, including the emotional impact of the game Bioshock: Infinite, which one user describes as "haunting." They discuss the game's cover art, noting the absence of the female co-lead, Elizabeth, from the front cover, and reference an interview with Ken Levine that suggests this was a marketing compromise. The conversation shifts to personal anecdotes, including family dynamics and humorous observations about everyday life, such as experiences at McDonald's and the challenges of parenting toddlers. The thread features a blend of light-hearted banter, reflections on gaming, and casual storytelling, highlighting the community's camaraderie.

Just get corn rows like WannabeNewton. You get to look classy while also having an efficient hair style.

Nay, Sir! You have not achieved the "easier to take care of" hair style at all. Shaved heads require constant shaving and whatever you save in shampoo goes into razors.

I mostly use clippers with no guard. As long as I keep up with the maintenance they should last a long time without needing a new blade. I've been using the same blade now for about a year.

Whenever I feel froggy I break out the razor. ~$30 for a pack though still seems like highway robbery.

Long hair is fun though. It is a lot of work. It may be due to my Tolkien obsession though. I've always wanted SUPER long hair, like the elves have. My hair is only partway down my back right now. Growing it back out after a nasty incident involving alcohol and pushy (ex) friends >=/

I got an email reply back from Joan Feynman. I'll probably print it and keep it for quite some time. What a woman.

Yes. She's been on my mind as of late.

I had a freshman teacher tell me about her, and I've never found much information on her. I had some papers sent to my lab back at OSU by her, but nothing about her as a person. Recently they updated her wiki article.

The conversation about women in STEM fields had me thinking. You know, I grew up without a prejudiced environment because of women like her. There isn't enough "thank you" in the universe for the efforts of women in physics when it was a much harder time.

They just loved science that much. It's beautiful.

Sigh. I went biking today, lost control and fell, twisting my knee. I am a victim of my healthy way of living.

Oops, I did it again. I have a pair of nice, parallel 15 cm long bruises on the left thigh. Luckily I didn't hurt my knee further, it is much better, thank you.

It is a third time this year. Either I am getting clumsy, or I have to catch up with the prescribed average, I didn't fell for several years.

O.o

That is just a lot of injuries. Are you mountain biking?

I think that's why I keep shaving my head. People are always asking why I do it since I don't have a receding hair line and no gray hair (not yet at least). I do save a ton on shampoo though!

I too, shave my head a couple of times during the summer, to help me cool down--and I grow it all the way during winter, to help me stay warm. I usually get some comments about dirty countertops, or requests for three wishes. And there are always plenty of people I barely know making all sorts of personal comments about how I look with a shaved head and on how I should do things differently, some of them apparently offended that I did not follow the advice they gave me some previous time they saw me with a shaved head. Strange.

Kudos to you for not caring too much about what people think of you. If only more people were like this.

As a female, I've received that kind of unsolicited advice all my life - really weird, isn't it? I never understood the motivations of the advice givers. I suppose they were trying to be helpful, but...:rolleyes:

I get it a lot too. As it gets longer "You should cut it all off and donate it to locks of love...you're so selfish"

Huh. I told my old HS chem teacher that and he asked me if I inquired if they felt it was selfish to squander such a wonderful public education. ^^

Lol.

Tell them, "I'll donate my hair after you donate your liver."

The worst.

They come up and take my hairfork or scrunchie out.

Who exactly gave you permission to touch me? I'm no longer allowed to punch people as I got away with in HS.
I usually just turn and glare until they get freaked out.

EVO I FOUND A SPORT FOR YOU!

http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/enh.../anigif_enhanced-buzz-24575-1373299856-18.gif

Bubble-wrapped soccer!

:biggrin:

I had one thousand, two hundred, and eighty six random thoughts today.

Random thought #1 was spawned by thinking about Evo, seeing that 1st video:

1. she's going to break something, just watching that.
2. bubble wrap. (random thought, somewhere in there: we know each other too well)

Random thought #3, was turning on the radio this morning, and "Baker Street" was playing.

Random thought #4, was having "American Woman", next on the radio.

Random thought #5, was knowing Evo and I were born 5 days apart.

Somewhere, in the midst of my thousand(+/-) random thoughts, were at least, a thousand random smiles.

:smile:

I went to the library about 1:00 P.M. this afternoon, got a 340 page novel out, and I've already finished it!

Interesting "related" products pop up for me. Are these based on my search history?

Perhaps I was drunk the other day, and googled; "Where to buy underwear for my hands":confused:
But I don't think I've ever been that drunk.

Although I did purchase a transparent pink handbag the other day from the 2nd hand store.
I do not believe that was what I was looking for when I walked in the door.

hmmm... there's a tag on the bag.

Yay! I saved $9! And it's not a handbag, it's a Jelly Duffel Bag. I feel much manlier now.

Wait! Duffel --> Doffel --> Doff...

My mother used to called us "Doffa Henna" when we were children.

I believe it translates as; "Stupid Chicken", in German.

hmmmm...

Ah ha!

I must have a deep seated jealousy of my friend's purse.

Oh dear, this foulness all started yesterday around 10 pm:

Unwanted Backyard Chickens Turning Up At Animal Shelters

And then there was

Which, if you have never been to the Oregon Country Fair, is exactly what it sounds and looks like.
Well, ok, the silly geese in the middle, are a bit taller, for the most part.

Indeed it can't. It's grown too large, too ubiquitous, too powerful. Our only hope is to send a robot assassin to the garden of Eden and kill humanity before they... somebody's at my door... they've found me.

Thanks; it's not even a close call for me. Do I feel unbearably, uncomfortably hot , or do I offend people I barely know or care about. I'm thinking of bringing up the topic of their moms and giving suggestions for what the moms should do with their mustache.

It seems my neighbor is having some flashbacks from the war. Every time he hears the word 'Vietnam', he runs to his car and drives all the way, nonstop, to Canada. Somehow National Geographic keeps 'Border Wars' in their daily programming, despite the fact that illegal immigration has greatly-decreased.

It's so true. It's very primal too. The feeling of "I'm safe, warm, and happy" comes from a good meal. It's nice! Bonus points if it's around people you care about.

try feeling safe/happy eating that meal surrounded by a pack of wild lions

I'd skitter up a tree if possible. I'd be warm at least. I'll take it.

I now wolf down my food as fast as possible. Just in case...
