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.

Marijuana flavored ice cream?

Half Baked?

There was a segment about the related industries quickly evolving. Some companies have brought in top-tier chefs to develop foods made with pot. So marijuana ice cream is probably coming soon.

S'ok, blindly typing latex works the same as blindly typing any other code. :-p

I'm sure there's a market for cuisine that makes you high.

Yes, it is already a big part of the business.

In the State of Washington, where sales will soon be legal, they are already offering pot dinner cruises.

Then people will just quit doing weed, because it's legal - there's no more danger. Okok, they won't...ish

Eating pot is certainly more healthy than inhaling smoke!

It's stands for Escherichia Coli.
Which means it was invented by M.C. Escher, right?

Ok. Then I won't ask you who was responsible for taking the latex out of latex paint.

wiki said:
...
The general term of latex paint is usually used in the USA, while the term emulsion paint is used for the same products in the UK and the term latex paint is not used at all.
...

hmmm... Apparently, there has never been latex in latex paint. :confused:

I think Americans might be stupid.

Wait!

wiki again said:
...
Latex is the stable dispersion (emulsion) of polymer microparticles in an aqueous medium. Latexes may be natural or synthetic.
...

It would appear that I am stupid also.

Emulsion. Yeah! :!)

Not sure...do you mean cheese or "cheese"? 'Cause I think Velveeta and the canned stuff might be emulsions, as well as disgusting.

All this emulsion talk is taking me back to Arkansas. Left there at age 4 but will never forget being with Grandma milking the cow then churning the cream.

Nothing like fresh warm raw cow milk and real butter.

When I was a kid (over 50 years ago), the local dairy farmer kept only Jerseys and Guernseys. He told me as a child that Holsteins gave only water, not milk. We got our milk in glass quart jugs, and at least a third of every bottle was cream. Shake them up and enjoy whole milk and/or pour off the cream and make butter every couple of days.

Mr. Hughes got put out of business because he could't afford to buy extra equipment to pasteurize the milk. He had agitators in his holding tanks to homogenize the milk, but when the Feds and the state demanded that the milk be pasteurized, he was done for. At his age, the investment made no sense.

If Stilton doesn't smell like sweaty feet and try to crawl off the plate when it sees the cheese knife, it's not ready to eat yet...

But "elf and safety" means you don't get the real deal these days. Daniel Defoe (author of Robinsom Crusoe) wrote
We passed Stilton, a town famous for cheese, which is called our English Parmesan, and is brought to table with the mites, or maggots round it, so thick, that they bring a spoon with them for you to eat the mites with, as you do the cheese.

I'd have to be really hungry to eat cheese like that.

So I went to get my usual Bhakti chai from a cafe close to campus, and was 'shocked' they had to close for some reconstructions. I went to a nearby store in the hope they might have it, the owner said no, but told me there's a small poetry cafe just across the street, they have Bhakti. I was surprised I didn't know it--I almost know most places that serve it:biggrin:--and it was close from my usual cafe. Anyway, I went in and instantly felt the intimacy of place. Its walls are covered by bookshelves that are filled with different poetry and prose books :!). I took a random book along with my chai. I enjoyed both my Bhakti and the poems in the book. I found this one wondrous:


Wonder

Wide-eyed she'll find you every time.
She will not steal your heart or soul.
She will not say: away from here
The sea rocks gently in its bowl,

the moon's the ghost of Gilgamesh
floating toward the silver pine,
the love you lost is dwelling with
the peregrine and golden eye,

and by the bye,

deep in your chest, a well exists.

She is too busy changing form.
The hand upon your shoulder lifts.
She will not take your world by the storm.

I was looking around in a local bookstore and the poetry shelf looked funny, there miniature books entitled "Don't worry, you are only 30" the next one said "Don't worry, you are only 40" then "Don't worry, you are only 50".. made me wonder, well when does worrying start then? :D

Really? I am tempted to go home early and drop by the local cheesy shop and get some, as I've never experienced this "Stilton" cheese.

Moldy cheese rules!

google google google

YES! It's for sale across the street. I'll have a pound, thank you very much!

I was talking more about the Stilton, though I wouldn't mind trying a moldy cheese. Sounds delightful.
