Is it time for Random Thoughts - Part 4?

Looper, about time travel and hitmen.

I just saw him in a pretty-good movie the other night. It was called "Louper,"

The first time that I ever saw or even heard of Bruce Willis was back in '85 in the very first episode of "The New Twilight Zone" which was entitled "Shatterday" and was based upon Harlan Ellison's short story of the same name. I thought at the time that he must be the best actor that I'd ever seen; it was arguably the best performance of his life.

You're right, Looper, not Louper. And it came out in 2012, not 2011.

That's exactly what someone else I know said in reference to a pregnancy test.

No, drat the luck. I'm past my expiry date for that.

Actually, I'm past my expiry date period.

Much appreciated, but stop crying. Believe it or not, I'm ridiculously happy all the time. (Maybe it's the beer.)
My GP gave me 6 months to live 4 years ago. I actually did die 3 years ago (going by 0% blood oxygen saturation via acute C0₂ poisoning), but I didn't care for it and came back. I have no intention of repeating the experience. My will to live is powered by my determination to irritate other people, and that can't be overcome. :D

Either I'm requesting the impossible or they're busy making arrangements. No news yet.

Based on your avatar and profile, you deserve the impossible :) I have my fingers crossed for you

 

[OmCheeto]

uh oh.
I have 9 alerts.
This is a new record, for me.
After 3 days of trans-thanksgiving debauchery, I'm afraid to view them.

What did I do now...

That's the price to pay for spreading so much wisdom over so many threads:D

Phew! You're right. I'm apparently simply subscribed to too many threads.

I'll have to start a new one.

I came to grips with Carnot's heat engine equation a while back, and decided, in the last half hour, that it is applicable to disassembling a Thanksgiving turkey, also.

Science!

:)

As Schroeder puts it "So don't bother installing a Carnot engine in your car; while it would increase your gas mileage, you would be passed on the highway by pedestrians."

As Om now puts it "Don't bother picking all the meat off of the carcass; while it might be satisfying to be so frugal, you will eventually starve to death".

That's one of my favorites. I like it because, as it's defined it seems so application specific and almost trivial. And yet it, and it's underlying principles, are actually of the most profound in all of physics.

 

[Medicol]

Thank you a lot.
