I learned how to say "I know nothing" from a lady at work today.

It sounded like; "Al ak it"

Which sounded a bit like; "I like it".

She is from Ethiopia.

We like each other.

Trust nothing I say or post unless it is written down in front of my eyes.

The phrase is; "A lak em"

ps. I look like Bill Moyers in a tiara on New Years Eve when I put on a tiara.

As much as I enjoyed the river trip yesterday:

I regretted it today.

Young business people, and wealthy retired people, have I not enough energy to keep up with.

I don't have a reference but rumor had it that there was a dentist in the western part of Kansas in the '70 where you could still get your nose packed with cocaine.

 

[lisab]

Farewell wisdom tooth.

Oh noes! I hope it comes out without a struggle.

Getting mine out wasn't too bad, but I did have a horrible reaction to the pain meds. I hope you're feeling better soon!

 

[drizzle]

It came out easily, with local anesthetic. I have prescription of 2 painkillers, one is stronger than the other. I hope I won't need them--they make me hallucinate -_-''

I hope you can get along, Gad. When I was a child, I had been prescribed a cough medicine that contained codeine. I had to stay awake all night with the lights on because whenever I shut my eyes, my body was crawling with snakes, spiders, and other bugs. I do not get along well with opiates.

They say it is just the tooth that goes away, wisdom stays with you.

But people say so many strange things.

back from wherever I was, happy new year PF ^^

Did you know . . . . ?

My wife asked me about the butter churning process, and how 'churning' worked. I had to search for a reputable site.


https://www.uoguelph.ca/foodscience/dairy-science-and-technology/dairy-products/butter-manufacture/overview-buttermaking-process


I also found this gem - Rural Economy, in Its Relations with Chemistry, Physics, and Meterology: Or, An Application of the Principles of Chemistry and Physiology to the Details of Practical Farming by Jean Baptiste Boussingault, July 1845.
http://books.google.com/books?id=2DkSvKjpdmwC

Butter is discussed on page 517, and it is interesting to read what is known/understood about the process in the mid 19th century.

 

[phion]

Roger Strong: Frank, would you like to say grace?

[Long pause]

Roger Strong: Unless you're not comfortable.

Frank Abagnale, Jr.: Absolutely. Two little mice fell into a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned, but the second mouse, he struggled so hard that he eventually churned that cream into butter and he walked out. Amen.

[All say: Amen]

Carol Strong: Oh, that was beautiful. The mouse, he churned that cream into butter.

 

[lendav_rott]

What does "say grace" mean? Is it a prayer?

I don't think I've ever said Grace before. I think I'll start saying the last one listed there:

Rub-a-dub dub, thanks for the grub. Yay God!

Hyperthetically [strike]does NOT make any sense whatsoever[/strike] means the exact opposite what you mean, Hatter. I am not sure that even hypothetically makes sense etymologically speaking.

Hypothetical seems to share a common root with 'hypothesis'.

 

[Enigman]

Hypothetical seems to share a common root with 'hypothesis'.

And hypothesis comes from foundation (hupo-under thesis-placing) whereas 'hypothetically' precedes something generally baseless.

"Rhythm" shares the same Greek root as "arithmetic", but that doesn't prove drummers can count.

 

[Nick O]

The obsessive-compulsive classicist in me has to respond: "rhythm" is derived from the Greek word for "river", which in turn is derived from the word meaning "to flow".

Arithmetic, however, is derived from the Greek word for "number", and Webster's dictionary says that it is akin to the Old English "rim", also meaning "number".

If the two words are related, as they might well be, the relation goes back to Proto-Indo-European.

 

[Astronuc]

I think we need a trusted etymological reference/source.

For example, http://www.oxfordreference.com/view...9780192830982-e-7440?rskey=gQwGtt&result=7441

http://www.oxfordreference.com/view...f-9780192830982-e-788?rskey=gC9z9C&result=788


I don't know if this counts - http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?allowed_in_frame=0&search=arithmetic&searchmode=none

 

[Nick O]

The last one is a good resource. See here.

 

[lisab]

What a weekend. We got about 100 apple trees planted. The ground was broken up by a tractor, but the actual hole-digging and tree-placing was done by hand. Mostly my husband's hands but I did enough to be sore.

In about 5 years we will have enough cider apples to make several hundred liters of hard cider each year.

 

[collinsmark]

Oh, my. That sounds amazing.

 

[dlgoff]

Oh. I didn't know you were planing on "hard" cider.

How are you going to press your apples. At one point I was thinking about pressing some of my apples so I contacted http://www.reesfruitfarm.com/, which is just down the highway from me, to see what they used for presses. They told me they made them using a hydrolytic ram in a pipe.

Here's their applecider link.

 

[drizzle]

Wow lisab, what a tedious work. *gives lisab a cup of hot chocolate and a warm blanket*Keep us updated with your little farm :)

We have one of these for now:

But we will eventually have to go to something more robust.

Keep us updated with your little farm :)

Aaaawwww, thanks! And certainly I will!

There's something deeply satisfying about physical, outside work. I think I was made for hard labor .

 

[lendav_rott]

Well god-damn, didn't know people are so serious about college and university over in USA, everytime yous speak of it, I get the feeling like you're all subconsciously speaking of a matter of life and death.

 

[turbo]

Well god-damn, didn't know people are so serious about college and university over in USA, everytime yous speak of it, I get the feeling like you're all subconsciously speaking of a matter of life and death.

Perhaps because (unlike much of the developed world), college is not publicly funded. Students try to balance costs with potential benefits, and prepare to leave college with some massive debt. It's not a good situation.

I was fortunate to live in a mill-town, so I could work some insane hours on my summer break to save money for college, and when I was at school I bought, repaired and sold guitars and amplifiers. Never took out a loan, so no debt.

 

[lendav_rott]

Of course one will go through all that if determined enough to go through with it in the first place. The thing I am amazed about is that going to college and university is like a principle rather than a goal. Go to uni just for the fact that you've been there, done that, got the diploma. How many actually go on to study something they know they want to do later?

 

[dkotschessaa]

Back from very long, very expensive road trip up to PA for my Dad's memorial and to see my family. Not much christmas to speak of - most of the money went towards hotels and feeding ourselves with one of us (my wife obviously) being pregnant. Didn't feel like I got much of a break there.

 

[dkotschessaa]

I am excited about classes starting up again though.

 

[lisab]

Welcome back! I've had "breaks" like that before, that leave me more exhausted than before. I hope things settle down soon.

oh they won't. lol.

Semester is like the last one (busy), then graduation, then baby, then grad school. Things should settle down in 35 years or so when I'm 70+ and the baby moves out.

Amen to this. I finally start getting to do some real math this semester.

 

[OmCheeto]

Someone at work today pointed at my computer monitor, and laughed at how many icons were on it.

I told him that each icon represented a monumental task, that had to be completed, before I retired.

Then, I found a way for the computer to count the number of icons on my monitor.

Then, I discovered, that I had fewer days left to work, than I had icons on it.

I laughed an evil laugh.
