Can PF Random Thoughts be Split to Help with Server Load?

[krash661]

yeah, i think I'm going to be reading a lot of dream books,
time for philosophy.
i have looked into brain research, but there's no answers yet.

 

[HayleySarg]

Yes, it seems like philosophers try to reach for answers until researchers actually get there.

I wonder if classic philosophy and the thought structure developed through that is what allowed us to start thinking of good questions anyways. Humans are so curious.

 

[krash661]

i can not find a place just to ask a PF forum question so i guess i'll post it here,

it can be deleted after i receive an answer.

i have a link form NASA technical reports
it's on,
Warp Field Mechanics

is it ok i start a topic and provide the links to it ?

 

[HayleySarg]

I don't know. As long as it's not fluffy crackpot nonsense, I can't imagine it wouldn't be allowed. I did my senior paper in HS on warp field mechanics. It was 36 pages long LOL

I'd just be sure to link all related peer-reviewed journals. There's a list somewhere of what's allowed and what isn't as well as what's considered a valid source. I'l try and dig it up.

Yay for Evo's siggy

D: I have to pick a favorite?!

Hmm. Salmon, Sashimi style!

Or maybe cod, or halibut, or flounder or ...

THWACK! thwip...thwip...thwip

You have been officially fish slapped and initiated into the PF Sisterhood.

Congratulations!

Is this a good thing?

I never wanted children.

For the record, I read the creation myth before seeing any Monty Python. ;)

Oh dear... Our fish are sterile, no children after fish slapping.

Men came after the animals and plants. At first there were only a brother and sister until he struck her with a fish and told her to multiply, and so it was. In seven days a child was born to her, and thereafter every seven days another, and they increased very fast until there was danger that the world could not keep them. Then it was made that a woman should have only one child in a year, and it has been so ever since

 

[HayleySarg]

Oh that's good to know. I'd rather not be a mom, besides, I just met you Evo. I'm sure you're lovely, but ...

I'd have a lot to explain to my boyfriend. And the scientific community.

The first half human, half salmon. Hmmm...

 

[HayleySarg]

Would it taste good?

Hm. Not sure if I should be ashamed by that pondery.

 

[collinsmark]

I dreamed I was drunk and posting all sorts of crazy posts on PF.

I was up most of the night deleting your crazy posts.

Dreams feel real while we're in them. It's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange
-Inception

 

[AnTiFreeze3]

I still wish I could control my dreams. I would just fly around everywhere.

 

[collinsmark]

I still wish I could control my dreams.

You can train yourself to do this. But it does take some effort.

Go through your normal waking hours as usual, except every twenty minutes or so ask yourself if you are dreaming. Then stop and really think about it. Do the things around you truly make sense?

Get into the habit of doing that. But don't get into the habit of mindlessly answering yourself, "no, I'm not dreaming." You really need to stop and think about it. That's where the effort comes in.

Eventually this habit will carry over into your dreams. And when it does happen in a dream, you'll be able to tell. And assuming you don't wake up immediately, you'll be able to control you dream, now called a lucid dream, at least for awhile.

Once you stop putting in the effort in your waking hours, the lucid dreams will taper off accordingly.

 

[krash661]

lol anti,
for me that leads to the question of,

how deep does this rabbit hole go.

 

[drizzle]

I dreamt of flying. I also dreamt of skating on water multiple times, and it all felt so real. It was fun too, but I can't control my dreams... I can only imagine how wild my dreams would be if I can control them.

 

[HayleySarg]

I generally dream about problems I'm trying to solve. Nothing too fun for me!

I once had a looooooooong dream where I was standing at a kitchen sink washing dishes . But it wasn't as boring as it sounds. It focused a lot on colors bouncing off the soap bubbles.

 

[HayleySarg]

Ooh that doesn't sound so terrible! Apparently it plagues my father too. He told me he once got a page in the middle of the night, got up and read it, when back to bed and had solved the ticket in his head by morning. Nuts! I'm not at that level yet. If only! I could fall asleep on my books and when people wake me up at the library I could legitimately claim "Hey, I'm studying!"

After I saw Inception, I had several dreams about dreams that I had after I went to sleep in my dream.

Well, that's not true. I often realize that I am dreaming. Since I was a small child I could stop a dream, rewind it and change it going forward. I called it "directed dreaming" since I'd never heard of anyone doing what I could do.

 

[Bacle2]

I'm not making cocktails with it or anything.

Really? I think it is swell with a whisper of Yoohoo and some gasoline.

Though I think it should be made into a cologne. I love the smell.

It is actually the fumes that can be toxic. I'm not an expert, but I've read that when you use it for more than a small amount of time, you should open the windows. I looked for a definitive answe re the alleged toxicity:

But I don't have the training in Chemistry to filter out the noise.

Last week, at a small meeting, I was causing a great impression with my quick, razor-sharp mind, multiplying three-digit numbers by three-digit numbers in my head, with a pained look of intense concentration in my face...until someone had the common sense to take-out a calculator and double-check. Now they're all angry at me for some reason. I thought it was kind of funny.

Were you right or wrong?

 

[Bacle2]

Were you right or wrong?

I don't know, I was making the whole thing up. Only tried to make sure the rightmost digit
was right, e.g., the product of 383 and 657 should end in 1 . I know a nice trick for
squaring numbers, but it takes me a few minutes (even 5-or-so) to do any two 3-digits. It is an exercise in focusing.

 

[zoobyshoe]

I know a nice trick for
squaring numbers...

The sum of a² + 2ab + b²? That one?
