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

[Ivan Seeking]

I can remember a similar situation where, when the gizmo was finally turned on, it didn't work - and the warranty period had already expired.

Maybe you ought to use some of your profits to buy an insurance policy

Do you really think I would be in the R&D business without being insured to the rafters?

They shouldn't put The Rock and Vin Diesel in the same movie. It's like serving spaghetti and lasagna as two different courses of the same meal.

 

[dkotschessaa]

I've been listening to this on repeat:

Great song, WRT to it's intended effect in the movie.

Otherwise it would make me want to...harm myself.

And yes, he did tell me that my tongue would start playing with the stitches after awhile.

Stitches? I think you need a dentist who gets more practice at extracting teeth, if he needs to sew up the mess he made. Unless you are a hemophiliac, of course.

True.

They shouldn't put them in separate movies either.

He asked me if it hurt before the extraction. I said; "Only when I eat peanuts".

The tooth was a lost cause molar that had lost a 40 year old filling, looking like a collapsed marine volcano, in a sea of flesh.

I'm sure he just wanted to not see me again in three weeks, complaining of peanut bits in the healed over crater.

 

[AlephZero]

I'm sure he just wanted to not see me again in three weeks,

I assumed he DID want to see you again in 3 weeks, to charge your health insurance another $1000 for taking out the stitches

I guess that's why dentists don't like extracting teeth. Once your do that, there's no repeat business.

 

[OmCheeto]

I assumed he DID want to see you again in 3 weeks, to charge your health insurance another $1000 for taking out the stitches

He said they are designed to dissolve over time. He said if they don't, that I can pull them out with tweezers by myself.

I guess that's why dentists don't like extracting teeth. Once your do that, there's no repeat business.

I never thought of that. I do have 27^* teeth left though.

-------------------------
When I was 18, my four wisdom teeth were pulled out by the US Navy, before they even popped through the skin.
They gave me some excuse about being on a submarine with no dentist on board.
I didn't count those when I mentioned this was the first one I'd lost since I was 5.
Think of them as teeth unfit for military duty. And this one, died in the great cavity war.

 

[zoobyshoe]

True.

Hehehehehe. That's a good one.

My late afternoon: on the big screen porch with my husband, daughter, and two of my three step-kids (all adults), goofing around, drinking wine, deciding what to have for dinner. I figured whatever we decide on, we will need carrots. So I go out to the garden, everything is in its final throes of summer. I dig a bunch of carrots (one straight from a porno ), and although no rain is falling there is distant thunder every few seconds. I see our chickens digging around in the field. I pick a little tomato and eat it.

My husband is now making salmon chowder.

Dirt under my nails.

Life is good.

Nice lisab. The skies are still crying over here..

Professional driver. Closed course.

"Amateir drivers - open road". A friend of mine and I used to wrench his MGA and take it out to see what we had accomplished. We would take turns driving on a curvy gravel road, doing 4-wheel drifts on the tight corners, so we could get through them. That little car was overpowered - head into a curve going way too fast, drift, feather the brakes and accelerate trough the turn.

He was either generous or crazy or both to let me split the driving with him.

 

[Evo]

Got to agree with Ina Garten when she says she would hate to have a marriage where you have to "work at it", she said (of her marriage to husband Jeffrey) we just enjoy each other's other's company and have fun. That's how relationships should be, if you have to "work at it", something is wrong, as in, you aren't made for each other. But then, that would put marriage counselors and therapists out of business.

My wife and I have known each other since we were 12, have a bollywood epic like love story, and enjoy each other's company immensely. We can spend days/weeks on end with each other 24/7 and never tire of each other. But we also work at our relationship, because it is such and indescribably precious thing, worth nurturing as its own entity. So I find that statement kind of misleading, to say the least.

Work as in you constantly fight and disagree on even basic things? That's what a lot of people "work" on due to fear of being alone. I've seen that all of my life and don't get it.

I think Lars let me drive because he actually wanted to be scared to death in a little open - top sports car. That bit of helplessness might have been fun for him.

When "work" means keeping your calendar clear so that you can spend time with each other, or going out of your way to do some silly special thing that will delight your mate, then that's nice work if you can get it.

When "work" means constantly counting to ten so you won't blow a gasket, or constantly wrestling with the indifference you feel towards you mate, then that's truly hellish work.

Omg that made me lol then chortle. I don't often chortle.

what exactly is chortle?

 

[Enigman]

what exactly is chortle?

Nonsense word created by Lewis Carroll for a nonsense poem [chuckle+snort]

"Jabberwocky"

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
“”
from Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There

Hey Evo, did you get my visitor message?

 

[Enigman]

That's only ten where are the others?!?

 

[dkotschessaa]

When "work" means keeping your calendar clear so that you can spend time with each other, or going out of your way to do some silly special thing that will delight your mate, then that's nice work if you can get it. p

There you go. I was looking for a nice response but kept coming up with verbose ones. I don't relate to the kind of work that Evo was talking about. If I was to come up with a better word or phrase than "work" I'd say cultivate, take care of, grow, nurture, etc. The important part is that it doesn't happen by itself, anymore than kids raise themselves.

But we are venturing out of randomness...

BTW I love it when people use the word 'nice' ...A really nice adjective...

"I am sure," cried Catherine, "I did not mean to say anything wrong; but it is a nice book, and why should I not call it so?"
"Very true," said Henry, "and this is a very nice day, and we are taking a very nice walk; and you are two very nice young ladies. Oh! It is a very nice word indeed! It does for everything." [Jane Austen, "Northanger Abbey," 1803]

Etymology can be soo funny sometimes...

 

[lendav_rott]

the concrete meaning of nice is so elusive in that quote :D

I can never sleep peacefully after reading Jane Austen...All the characters start gossiping with each other in my dreams, I generally wake up with a bad headache...

Yeah, it seems you misunderstood what I was saying. I'm not talking about thinking about nice things to do for each other. Lisab got it.

13*13=64?

It's 256.

 

[Pythagorean]

13*13 = 1313, everyone knows that.

But you can also distribute the 3:

1*13*33

and then the 1:

113*133 = 113133

so obviously:

1313 = 113133

To the standard peon, this is unintuitive.

Science.

 

[drizzle]

Well, that's why I hate such puzzles, because I believe once the real math is broken, all other answers are possible solutions [logically].

 

[lendav_rott]

I, at first, thought it was 256 too, but it seemed too simple :D So I found another "logic"
11*11 = 4 because the coefficient of the 10s is 1. Add the 10 coeffs to get 2 and the sum of the singles is the power -> 2^2 = 4, 2^4 = 16 and 2^6 = 64 :D
fuzzy logic, but a logic nonetheless xD
