Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the splitting of larger threads to alleviate server load, with a focus on the continuation of a previous thread. Participants engage in light-hearted banter, celebrating a trivia quiz and discussing various topics, including creativity, humor, and personal anecdotes. One member shares a humorous proposal joke involving a "trivial ring," leading to a deeper conversation about mathematical concepts and the nature of "nothing." The conversation shifts to personal experiences, including frustrations with the medical system following a wisdom tooth extraction, highlighting issues with prescription management and insurance complications. Members express their opinions on dental practices, particularly the necessity of wisdom tooth removal, with some viewing it as a financial racket unless there are complications. Overall, the thread reflects a mix of humor, personal stories, and commentary on broader societal issues, maintaining a casual and engaging tone throughout.

Wasn't there a drug commercial where one of the side effects was double rabbit vision? I think that it was a drug for the prevention of single rabbit vision.

So it was designed to lobotomize you?

I can't keep up with the side effects in the commercials. After the wonderful happy part they use a fast talker to describe the side effects.

ps. That's good that you've learned not to pace trucks. The next time you see one parked, go up and see if you can see one of these signs affixed somewhere:
I did learn the lesson. Never again.

Here we go, the latest science has proven that bots can't see rabbits. If anyone can see a rabbit in the video they are not a bot.



If you see a rabbit punch a quail you may have a problem.

Edit: If you see a second rabbit appear call your doctor immediately.

Oh my god! I love those two little rabbits! They so cute. Please let me love you little bunnies. :L

It takes a community. I couldn't have done it without the setup by my wingman Borg.

Hehe. Nope, but I cannot have a pet because of my apartment's policies. And at my parent's home I cannot have one either because of my parent's policies. :s

So I want to graduate and then get a job and then get a home and then get a bunny... Among other things I want.

EDIT: A home with no policies about bunnies.

Old Student is laughing, but I almost feel like crying. I've had my Lucy (Lucifer T. Cat) for 14 years, ever since she was 3, and I can't bear to think of living without her. I love her more than just about any human that I know, and honestly would kill anyone who hurt her. She will probably outlive me, and I'm glad for that. She's accommodated in my will. Her predecessor Dingbat McBeth died almost exactly on his 20th birthday, and I loved him just as much. I've had only one rabbit, a baby bush-bunny that I found in my hedgerow a little over 40 years ago. His nest had been ploughed up, and his parents were nowhere to be found. It's the only pet that I've ever had who committed suicide. Since it was wild, I couldn't just let it run free in the house, so I placed it in a toque, set on a thick towel inside the washing machine, and left some cat kibble with it. (That was the old upright wringer-type.) The next morning, I found him dead on the floor. Despite his diminutive size, he had managed to leap the 60cm or so straight up to escape the washer drum and then fell on his head on top of a Coke bottle in a case on the floor. :oldcry:

I agree, because I sometimes get that same message and I'm on a MacBook Pro running Safari through Mavericks OS. A server is probably the only thing we have in common.

I was thinking about it today and it occurred to me they never showed the psychiatrist's face.

Agreed! She's a mere child by my standards, and nearly enough to make me watch another Bond movie. I did watch the first 2 Craig ones after they came on TV, but the last that I'd seen before that was "Licence To Kill". I just don't care about them any more.

Maths is beautiful
Google this :

exp(-((x-4)^2+(y-4)^2)^2/1000) + exp(-((x+4)^2+(y+4)^2)^2/1000) + 0.1exp(-((x+4)^2+(y+4)^2)^2)+0.1exp(-((x -4)^2+(y- 4)^2)^2)

My vacuum cleaner didn't suck, which sucked.

I investigated and found a hose was compacted with dust. Not sure how that happens. Maybe it builds up on the walls of the hose, and then suddenly comes off, clogging it up?

There was a comment going around a while back that the only way Microsoft could come out with something that did not suck was if they manufactured vacuum cleaners.

Why is it so many coffee shops use this dark, heavy décor, even in winter? I suspect they believe the dark layout looks somehow more sophisticated, while bright colors look childish. Still, I love the few places with the bright colors, like Dunkin Donuts, specially during the dark days of winter, when is dark out at 4:30 p.m. On this note, I realized my impression of the quality of a neighborhood is positively correlated with the number of coffee shops and general hang out places. Maybe there is a correlation between the overall wealth of a neighborhood and the number of hang out places.

It's all about the fuel costs. Dark absorbs sunlight, and thus less heating is required. :approve:

It depends on the specific lighting, but the coffee shops I know that are dark have little islands of intimacy. This is nice if you're in the mood for your own little island. Bright shops make you aware of everyone in the whole place as more of a group.

Zoob, I know that you're getting up there in years, but really... forgetting to respond to the thing that you quoted? Does your nurse know that you're at the computer?

edit: Oh, sure... now you edit it to make it look like I'm delusional... :p

And yes Dark is always the source to blame when bad things occur :DD

Of course; that's why it makes up the minority of KFC buckets.

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

A week later: complete radio silence. No response to inquiry. Frustrated.
