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

You just lost.

Unless you come here and force me to discuss Goths. One Goth is "got" in Polish.

HUH, a $1 to Borek ;-]

French people are crazy! (I'm French)

That car driver was quite a character. I once saw him typing non-stop with one hand, while opening a new packet of Gauloises, extracting one, and lighting up with the other hand.

And he had one of the sharpest brains of anybody I've met. His response to something was usually a big sigh (and a cloud of Gaulois smoke), followed by "well, I know nossings about zees topic, I have nevair worked on eet. BUT...

And you knew that whatever followed the "but" was going to completely wreck your argument!

Why do I forget.. A LOT.

 

[DennisN]

Why do I forget.. A LOT.

You're not alone . Too many things on your mind, perhaps?

Excuses when forgetting something important:

1. "A cosmic ray probably hit one of my main neurons. It can happen."
2. "The brain follows the Rules of Quantum Mechanics, so it is probabilistic."
3. "Look on the bright side: In another world, there might be a version of me who remembered."
4. "Second law of thermodynamics. I can't do anything about it."

As a returning adult in the world of academia, I just have to say, that the current generation has the potential to be one of the greatest the world has yet seen...

...if they would just stop playing with their ****** phones.

I have just accepted that Evo Child's smart phone is part of who she is. Now that her phone synchs up to her new car, the car has become an extension of her phone, and she spends a lot of time in her car. Well, her car *is* a smart phone on wheels. It's amazing how dependent her generation is on technology. But I must admit that on a cold morning being able to call your car and tell it to start and get the heater going so that it's all warm and defrosted before you leave the house is a very nice thing.

No can do.
My phone has all the course related material (class notes, slides, etc.), my mind maps, my flash cards, my graphers(3D, parametric and polar), my to-do-list (without which I'm lost) and of course the PF app...

 

[Evo]

I always thought I had a decent vocabulary, but reading this paragraph made me realize, not really.

A similar process to dehiscence occurs in some flower buds (e.g., Platycodon, Fuchsia), but this is rarely referred to as dehiscence unless circumscissile dehiscence is involved; anthesis is the usual term for the opening of flowers. Dehiscence may or may not involve the loss of a structure through the process of abscission. The lost structures are said to be caducous.

[Pythagorean]

Jargon. Happens any time I read a paper outside my field. I have to spend an hour per page, most of it researching assumed concepts, the rest trying to understand the basis of the sentence structure used.

Do you use it while walking/driving?

Do you use it while walking/driving?

Driving-nope
walking- rarely, to check my time table
eating- sometimes (like now) for PF
The one thing I don't like using my phone for is talking...

I am almost always running into students (while on my bike) who are walking around in zombie smartphone posture.

Sorry to hear about that lisab, I know they are real bad. :(

I hope you feel OK now.

Men, apparently, don't get migraines.

I learned this, by talking to girls.

/me hugs lisab, as she does not deserve migraines.

[inotyce]

Looking back upon what I have done, I don't know what I have been through. What actually am I trying to reach ? If I can land a job with a huge amount of salary, then what is next after 3-5 years then ? What else will I have to deal with then ?
I'm sitting at my desk working from 9 to 5. If I have works to do, then it fills up my 8 hours of work, if there are less tasks to do, I expect to set myself free by doing what I like, e.g going out having some food, coffee, or even going to home. Why does my boss expect me to sit there till 5 ?
My question, is there any company that satisfies my inquiries better than that I have to align myself with theirs

What does it feel like when water go all the way in through your nose?

 

[Enigman]

Something like this?

 

[drizzle]

No way, I mean NO WAY!
It feels like screwing the hell out of my brain, literally. It was painful.

me too Norway.

If the water has the correct concentration of salt, it shouldn't hurt at all. Plain water really stings though.

I've used cheese, although I don't recommend it. (do not sneeze while swallowing cheese)

The Italian is nice, but I think I have to agree with Pythagorean, the Russian anthem is magnificient.

And I can't resist posting a little Beethoven Symphony No. 9 (anthem of European Union, lyrics here):

Neti pot usage (pictured above) feels awesome, but in a kind of disgusting way. It is about the right concentration of salt as mentioned. Mine broke a while ago and I haven't bought another one.

How do I go about getting a person sainted? My combinatorics professor actually postponed a test because "I realized a lot of you have other things going on the same day/week as our test." He put it up to a vote and it was moved.

I'm sure I can convince the new pope. He seems open.

I think the Mexican National Anthem is the catchiest I've heard. When sung by full chorus, it sounds like the finale to an operetta called, "Mexico!"

Here's a very good solo rendition (no need to listen to all 10 minutes though):

I don't know why, but I have never found George Carlin funny. Sometimes insightful, but never funny. I realize this is like, something I'm not supposed to admit. But it's true.

 

[Pythagorean]

Ok, but do you find Louis CK funny?

 

[turbo]

I don't know why, but I have never found George Carlin funny. Sometimes insightful, but never funny. I realize this is like, something I'm not supposed to admit. But it's true.

Much (perhaps most) of his work was not intended to be funny. Carlin was a satirist and was expert in social commentary, much like Samuel Clemens.

 

[dkotschessaa]

Ok, but do you find Louis CK funny?

He used to be. Now he's just a rant-bot.

 

[dkotschessaa]

Much (perhaps most) of his work was not intended to be funny. Carlin was a satirist and was expert in social commentary, much like Samuel Clemens.

I realize that, but I find most of what Carlin says is really obvious, and then he says it like you're supposed to go "Gee, I never thought of that George." But he's never said anything I thought wasn't already obvious.

It's like "did you ever realize politicians aren't always really good people?" Um, yes I did. "Ok so didja ever notice how religion is kind of dumb?" Um, yes George. "Ok so what's the deal with taxes. It's like they take all your money!." Uh, yes George, taxes are a pain sometimes, I agree.

Sigh...sorry. I know I'm alone on this one.

As for Twain/Clemens, I'm reading A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court now. It's LOL funny, as well as original and full of observant wisdom, and still relevant.

[Pythagorean]

I like Carlin because I came across him in high school, so it was all stuff I was just realizing myself at the time and here I found somebody who didn't make excuses or use euphemism to describe the state of things and that's really easy to appreciate when you're going through puberty.

He used to be. Now he's just a rant-bot.

Yeah, ranting is his schtick. I particularly liked the "Of course!... but maybe..." skit from Oh My God. But he can go on with rants sometimes. But it's really his physical acting (his facial expressions and body language) that make him unique.
