    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.

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.

:redface:

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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'.
