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

[Mandelbroth]

I think I'll go back to bed.

I always say stuff like this on weekends, but then I just end up going back to my whiteboards (I got 2 more ) and working through problems out of whatever book I happen to want to work from that day. Life's too short to sleep.

 

[Enigman]

My pen is stuck.

 

[AnTiFreeze3]

... Life's too short to sleep.

I don't agree. Life can be very long so long as your longing to lengthen your experiences is sufficient.

For those of you that wanted to see my eyes after exposure to the toxin in the shrimp. I don't even look human.

Eww Evo

Oh my You look like my step-mother after eating mustard.

Technically even if I lived with my Mom second wife of my Dad was my step-mother, wasn't she?

 

[lisab]

take some Benadryl, quick!

 

[Evo]

take some Benadryl, quick!

I had to see the doctor the next day, I was taking large doses of Benadryl and it wasn't helping, the swelling wasn't going down. The doctor prescribed oral corticosteroids and steroid drops for my eyes, that seems to be working, but it's been 3 days and there is still a lot of swelling, but the "burned" look is much lighter.

It seems a chemical called sodium tripolyphosphate is added to seafood to plump it up and add weight. Apparently it is not regulated and there is no telling how much of this chemical was in the batch of shrimp (from china) I was handling. It is a chemical used for toilet cleansers and is considered a severe eye and skin irritant. Apparently I handled the shrimp, then touched my eyes and face, even though the shrimp had been thoroughly rinsed. Within minutes the burning caused me to get to the bathroom to try to flush my eyes with water, and I noticed all of my skin on my face looked burned where I had touched it. Within a few minutes one eye was completely swollen shut and the other mostly swollen under the eye.

Dang, that sounds horrible. I hope you're better soon!

I worry about our food supply. More and more, I look for "country of origin" on the label. I will buy local even if it's more expensive.

At my last job working in a USDA lab, I read one news letter stating that some soy sauce made from human hair was discovered.

Whaaaaaaaa?

I wonder what all we've consumed that we weren't aware of?

Anybody remember this SNL Sketch?

http://snltranscripts.jt.org/86/86qheaven.phtml

[Guy talking to an angel in heaven right after his own death]

Deceased: Well. Let's see.. what's the grossest thing I ever ate?

Angel: You don't want to know.

Deceased: Oh. Okay. What about the 200th grossest thing?

Angel: Okay.. that would be some butterscotch pudding that had a dead earwig in it.

Deceased: [ grimaces ] Oh, gross! You mean I never tasted it!

Angel: Well, you made this very funny face.. but you were watching a football game on TV at the time..

If you learn the ins and outs of forward error detection and correction, that is a very useful thing to put on your resume.

Perhaps my sarcasm is ill founded then. Would you mind expounding a bit in this post of mine?

Whatever it was, it hasn't killed you yet.

But you are still going to die, eventually

Wow, that's quite an allergic/toxic reaction!

There was a line in a novel I read recently that went something like, "All these health nuts are going to be surprised eventually when they die...of nothing."

Ouch!

Lovely eyebrows though.

I read recently that went something like, "All these health nuts are going to be surprised eventually when they die...of nothing."

There was a guy at work who spent a lot of time finding the "best" sources of organic food etc, and also spent a lot of time researching organic remedies for all the minor ailments he had.

We kept telling him he could get two slices of his life back by eating junk like everybody else, but he was immune to that sort of logic.

Better to live healthy and die of old age than live your last days walking on a limb, organs failing and looking like you lost a fight to a swarm of bees

 

[dkotschessaa]

Exactly. It's about quality of life. And most people cited as living unhealthily/exceptionally long are just statistical anomalies.

Organic does not mean healthy, therefore eating unhealthy is not equivalent to not eating organic. There's some logic for ya.

It's finally cool enough outside to sit out on the porch. Which I am doing right now. ahhhh.

That's likely true, but...have you killed *it* yet?

I killed a carrot. Chopped it's head off, put it through the juicer and drank it's blood.

Dying of old age is a long, unpleasant process indistinguishable from dying of some wasting disease. Quality of life in the last few years is very poor.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

You guys are killing me.

 

[OmCheeto]

Some of them might tell you otherwise...

I've been hanging around with hippies that live of old age, since I was about 25.

People who live of old age, are much preferable than those that die of old age.



hmmm... That doesn't even look like it makes grammatical sense, does it.

hmmm...

I'm so happy, I had a

Shut up Zoob!

And eat a jerky carrot head, and just shut up!

Lol! Nice page.

Why is there such a distinct lack of evil math nerds in fiction? There are physicists trying to make black holes and start nuclear holocausts, chemists and biologists creating evil pharma products and nerve agents, computer geeks controlling the net, but no mathematicians...(Weealll, there was Moriarty with his binomial thingy but that was eons ago...)
Does no one fear the power of stochastic random processes?

Who cares about taking over the "real" world when you have a whiteboard and some exercises to do?

There is no such thing as "dying of old age."

I do believe it has been quite a while since I've fried anything. When I went to grab my spatula out of the utensil bucket, it was covered in dust and cobwebs.

Or maybe it was very recently, and you made fried spiders.

I know, but what's your point? My point is that the longer you live the poorer quality of life becomes. There's a reason nurses call pneumonia "the old person's friend."

I wonder if that's why https://www.physicsforums.com/showpost.php?p=4582462&postcount=89 by RL resonates with me? When all the parts have worn out, I think the brain might just turn the key, to the off position.

I believe, that old people, in fact, do die, of old age.

Maybe we should call death; "After so many wonderful weekends, I'm too tired to get up. Yo! Kids! Take my place."

On a totally separate note, I dreamed the other night that I was framed for murder. While out on bail, I was able to successfully prove my innocence at the last moment, just before the verdict, and just before I awoke. The dream unfolded like a mystery-thriller movie. I love dreams like that.

I am seriously considering buying a telescope, and I partly blame PF for it. Where should I send the bill?

I've been playing around with a DIY idea for this, but the mirror construction process looks a bit complicated, haha.

Nah, I think I better read the 13 pages in the Planning to buy a first telescope? thread and go for a decent beginner telescope. Seriously, I don't know why I don't already own a telescope, I've been thinking about this for years...

 

[Enigman]

The only plausible justification for 'who nose' I can think of is Shen Woo or the divine warrior which means Doctor is going to get attacked by a chinese cleric or a chinese guy is going to meet the doctor...

Well, you should try it more often. That was very helpful.

Those are cool. I've had really epic ones that seem to span space and time...impossible to explain to anyone else.

Yesterday morning I was at the airport, headed for England. Then I realized I didn't have my passport. Then I looked around for a clock, trying to figure out if I had enough time to race home and back. There were two sheets of paper on the wall, each with different times. I asked which sheet of paper had the correct time. People looked at me like I was crazy. So I grabbed someone's wrist, and looked at the time on her watch. I had just enough time. But then, when I got to the parking lot, I'd forgotten where I'd parked. Then, someone I hadn't seen in 30 years said; "Hey! That was a great parking job you did!". I screamed back; "Where did I park!?". She said; "Over there, on the line". She pointed to a sea of cars hidden by trees. So I went over and found my black pickup truck, and went to put my backpack in the red hatchback. Then I realized I didn't have much money on me and I might have forgotten to make my credit card payment so I might be in England penniless! And then, I couldn't figure out why I was going to England!

Then I woke up.
