Is it time for Random Thoughts - Part 4?

Looks so goody, maybe best with chilli sauce.

Hey, I just noticed that there are no mentors or admin logged in right now. When the mentors are away, the members will play...:D

...Rainbows are really an ancient weapon developed by an alien race.

These beams of light allowed for them to travel through time to vanquish their foes before they were even foes. I have not done the math or research yet but I know this is true because I applied the fundamental principals of quantum blahblahology I learned from a documentary I watched on the History channel.

Once they start controlling minds…

Did you know that ban-guns work retroactively just as well as in real-time?

No

I did not know you were a gun control enthusiast. It would seem that you would want to ban guns before you had a reason to, instead of retroactively or in real-time.

Well, I've been the target of a "random ban," which has happened, from time to time (although those were mostly during Sunday chat sessions, so you might be safe for the moment regarding the "random" variety of ban.) Fortunately for me it was quite temporary. And maybe once I accidentally used "math" and "philosophy" in the same sentence which resulted in an immediate ban from micromass (again, temporary, thank goodness [I'll never do that again.]*). Hair trigger, that one.

My point is the mentors' ban guns are far reaching and transcend time. Do not underestimate them!

Borek's ban gun is always nearby, and Evo's aim is clear and precise. Lisab has become one with the trigger. And other mentors, wonderful mentors, are there sitting in waiting. Waiting to strike. They may strike now, they may strike in retrospect.

*(Did I just do it again now? Uh, oh.)

[I need to partake in Sunday chat sessions again more often. Those are the best of times.]

[In case you didn't realize, ban guns do not shoot bullets. They shoot bans.]

Did they give you some of those GOOBF cards to say these stuff and scare us? :D

So that's what that card was all about. :w I was scratching my head trying to figure out what that was for.

 

[OmCheeto]

It looks like I'm safe for awhile.
With all 22 mentors and admin pulling their ban gun triggers once a second, it will take them 144,000 years before I run out.
Yay!

I did the math.

Yet another baited rabbit hole..."I'm safe"...I clicked on it and couldn't get out for over half an hour, just skimming over the information that was there.
My hat's off to you, for being able to produce so much information at any given time:D

 

[Medicol]

I was thinking MS was so cruel that they inserted an update that could almost have disabled my whole computer (win8.1). Right after I logged in, nothing was loaded except an empty task bar (it's usually full of icons) and the whole screen flickered. I booted into safe mode to see a popup that said "Unknown hard error" which didn't appear in the normal boot mode after computer login. :( I am safe anyway.

That was another fun thread.
I didn't bother reading the whole thing until you commented.

ps. Spreadsheets are your friend. And, it helps to be able to count. Perhaps I should file a complaint in the "Feedback" forum; "Will you please list the number of mentors and admin, so I don't have to count you! It consumed 15 seconds of my life! I want a pro-rated refund, from my lifetime membership fee..."

 

[OmCheeto]

I'll take that in small bills, btw.

Interesting, I was waiting for the promo video to actually show a picture of it flying. I wonder why they didn't, seems suspicious...

Either it looks goofy or something when it flies, or they need to have a talk with their ad agency

[Borek]

Borek's ban gun is always nearby

Yep. I sleep with a ban gun under my pillow.

For the curious:

Well, that was a little better at least. Got a hint of it. Human creativity never ceases to amaze me. Who would have thought of a flying wristcamera? Unfortunately, I'd be sure to be the one that falls off the rockclimbing cliff trying to release that thing from my wrist

 

[Borek]

There were better contestants in the competition IMHO. Microdrone is quite trivial - nothing really new.

Okay, I'll bite. What do you think is better?

 

[Borek]

What do you think is better?

I haven't seen all contestants, but I know a thing or two about the Polish entry (Snowcookie) - and I believe it is much more innovative.

I can buy drones and copters of almost any size, with cameras and without, in a shop near by. Making one of them fit in a pocket (or on a wrist) is rather obvious. Snowcookie (kind of a personal ski trainer, checking your skiing style and suggesting how to improve it to make it safer) is IMHO something completely new. (I am not saying it is best of all participants, I just find it more innovative than the drone).

I hadn't watched any of them until Borg pointed the contest out. I must admit, it is definitely doing a complicated application in a small package and is much more beneficial. I'm going to see if my daughter could put something like this to work at her Taekwon-Do school.

I just passed my 2112 post today. I suppose I should listen to some Rush later, before the evening is over.

You should have listened to it when you hit 2112, it's too late now, you're at 2114. Do they have an album entitled 2114? No.

 

[Astronuc]

Enough of Kim Kardashian already. I want to be able to read the news/headlines without some inane article about this personality disorder.

Less Taylor Swift would be nice too.

Rush! So I skipped a couple songs ahead [Edit: Well, actually I listened to the whole the whole thing, and then a bit more, eventually reaching the point a few songs ahead]. It all works out. I think.

Danger can verify/agree/confirm/conform/deny/vilify/admonish whether I did the right thing. I trust his judgement on this matter. And Danger, well, let's just say he is one I can trust on this. Wise words, this one.

(btw, Rush is a Canadian band, if that matters, or even makes a difference.)

Ok, I'll grant you some leeway this time, but that's only because I'm the analog kid..

At least you can take something for the second one. :)

Sweet. :)

I have always felt confused about statements on how so-and-so founded a university.

I mean, who can lose a whole university to start with, aren't most of them pretty large ? And,

weren't there other people nearby that could see it. If these other people are there, how come

they cannot find it ?

 

[Astronuc]

So we just had Veterans' Day.

Dr. Bill Krissoff, an orthopedic surgeon whose son Nate was killed in Iraq in 2006. Krissoff, who was 60, wanted to honor his son by joining the military. After learning he was to old to enlist, he made his case face to face with President George W. Bush. An age waiver was granted, and Krissoff went on to serve in both Iraq and Afghanistan. He is credited with saving dozens of lives while performing more than 200 trauma surgeries.

Yesterday, I heard someone had discovered a stupidity virus.
Today, I heard that there is a town called Idiotville.
Coincidence, or cosmic message?

In Florida, spring fever happens in the fall. Weird huh?

I think I am suffering from a strange sadness. :(

 

[Borek]

I do too, after elections in Poland.

 

[Borek]

Just some random test.

I revised this image, just for you, and the witch of a person, who is, for some unknown reason, still my ""friend"" on Facebook, after posting, for the last 7 days, every day, all the reasons Floridians use salt, versus, um, **** ***!
