    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.

If the data is in the table, is it it tabulated or tabularized? Like in "use tabulated/tabularized data to solve the problem"?

I'd avoid it by using 'use the data in a tabular form to solve the problem'. Which I think is correct however I'm doubting now.

1. A card dealer cheated on me to register his company credit card He told me it was free but now he says I have to spend $$$ for the first few times within xxx months before it becomes free of charge. My decision is never activate it then.
2. I had a small talk with several members in my lab and I realize my lab policy has recently become quite like a cancerous lump, which sufferers had to endure the whole last month before they passed away.
It's *pass away*, I am respecting myself too, as I am one of them.[/size]

Sooo...I need to plan a murder and doing so I have to maximize emotional trauma on a 12 yr old...May be if I found an equation I could differentiate it to find the stationary points on the curve...
Hmmm...might need to increase the age of the kid for it to work out...
Okay, now I need to focus Probability and stats... and not murders...stop procrastinating E!

Flying up north (to PA from FL) to see my dad in the hospital. They still haven't diagnosed him. He's having hallucinations and nightmares and can't speak. This is rotten.

Such a different attitude towards its citizens than we have. I can imagine proposing something like this in the U.S. People would complain about having to share the sunshine.

Or worse they would complain the reflection is too bright or it melts the snow, dries out my plants and gives me a sunburn in the shade...

When 11-year-old Peyton Robertson saw the devastation caused by Superstorm Sandy, he knew he had to help. But instead of volunteering or donating money, he decided to invent something -- a new type of sandbag that can help prevent saltwater flooding in future storms and disasters.

The difference is that his sandbags don’t actually contain any sand. Peyton explains that traditional sandbags are heavy, difficult to move and leave cracks where water can enter. Instead, he fills the bags with a mixture of polymer and salt.

“I used polymer because when you add it to water it expands,” Peyton explains.

So what have you been doing lately?

On Saturday, I did laundry.
On Sunday, I went to the river, drank beer, and tossed a tennis ball for my friend's dog.
Other than that, I've been going to work.

I don't think I'll have time to work on my patents until I retire.
They should cut foreign oil imports by 3/4, cut world coal consumption in half, employ 16 million Americans, and reduce global CO2 levels substantially.

I think I will enjoy being retired, and finally be able to get some useful work done.

I'm sitting with a radiologic tech, his spouse, and a few other people. We are discussing; "who knows how MRI's work?".

Life is good when you are surrounded by intelligent people.

Being surrounded by laughing, silly, and temporarily semi-intelligent people, makes life even better.

My wife explained to her mother that the MRI machine was a souped up version of the nuclear magnetic resonance machines she used in the lab. The nurse turned to her and said severely that they "don't use the N-word in this hospital". :D

I am probably the only person dumb enough to manage spraining a rib while asleep.

No idea. The last thing I remember before waking up and noticing the injury was Rowling flying on a broom and crying 'the brother did it'. A contention which I very much doubt...

I'm about to hook up my latest science experiment.
If you don't hear back from me in the next 24 hours, please tell my family and friends, that I loved them.

Thank you,
