    Random Thoughts
Click For 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.

I'm starting a new personal programming project. When I told a coworker about it, she immeadiately said that she wanted a copy after I build it. Maybe I should sell it. :-p

I estimate there's a 10 to 20% chance I'm in this photograph! (I might have been obscured by clouds.)

[Edit: Here's part of the above image which is then zoomed in quite a bit. The dimmer spot of the two is the Earth's moon.]

I have lost probably the remainder of an upper molar's filling. It doesn't hurt a bit, but it is driving my tongue nuts.

Now I see why you were raving about waving at Saturn the other day. I thought you'd lost your mind and felt unreasonably friendly toward the gas giants, or something.

That makes me wonder: is there a solar system somewhere where they have gas midgets?

Just found out one of my favorite professors got suspended from teaching because he had a raging drug addiction. He was falling asleep during conversations, and got caught injecting himself at work :eek:.

Odd situation, today. I wrote a letter to the editor of the local paper asking why the county mounties or the state police couldn't be bothered patrol this country road. The speed limit is 45, and scofflaws often blow by here at 70+.

Interestingly, one of the people who complained about the increased attention was a woman who was complaining several years back about all the speeders. Her husband took her to task because she was an inveterate speeder, and an argument ensued. I excused myself saying that I had to get back home. This was a few years before their daughter moved back home with their 2 pre-school grand-daughters. How things have changed! If you don't want to get fined, don't speed. It's pretty simple.

Another person who complained to my wife is a widow who raises Boston terriers. After one of her prize bitches was killed in the road last summer, you'd think she might be happy for a bit of extra traffic coverage. Nope. I guess that their "right" to speed is more important than reining in the scofflaws.

Any estimate on the crow population?
