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.

I like drizzle's avatar . It looks sooo funny.
I've always assumed that it was a pony on acid farting. Am I missing something? :oldconfused:

Get their address from her and mail them an envelope full of sneezing powder... When she "accidentally" strolls in with a bottle of Dristan, her future will be assured. :approve:

[QUOTE="Danger,

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

A , thanks, one mystery down, 1,000,000 more to go. How about this one : how does Jamba Juice do business in winter? Who buys an iced fruit drink when it is 25 degrees and windy outside? Just like I would not want to buy potato chips and sugary hot chocolate in the middle of Summer.

I've never heard of Jamba Juice. Going by the description, though, it's perfectly logical. It's a medical fact that drinking something cold warms you, the same way that a nice cup of tea will cool you in summer. In both cases, the influx of a positive or negative thermal component tricks your hypothalamus into thinking that you're either colder or warmer than you really are and puts your biological countermeasures into overdrive.

Ahhhh!
Too much science.

ps. I just got angry at my cats, because, IMHO, they were eating their food too quickly. So I scolded them, in a British accent.

Now that's just animal cruelty. I hope that someone reports you to the RSPCA. (Oh, wait a second now... there's some sort of discontinuity here... hmmmm... :oldconfused:)

That's why all pets should be neutered. It's better to be hissed at than pissed at.

I'm already bringing a bag of cold-hard cash, but their lawyers appear not to want it. I just googled "how to bribe a lawyer", but it didn't get me anything (other than the attention of the national security force, probably).

I certainly admire his response to it, both by his unflappable stature and his use of the opportunity to point out the hazards of the job.

With no desire to reference another thread around here, I'll just say that you're in the wrong country for that. :oldwink:

(So... any chance that you're willing to tell me what the hell is going on, even if just by PM? It's difficult to build a war machine on your behalf without knowing what the objective is. :olduhh:)

A woman with a bag of cold-hard cash, looking for someone to bribeoo), I'm not going to get a wink of sleep tonight :D

I'm thinking about dating my former boss' boss. I can't tell if she likes me or not, but she clearly doesn't not like me.

In other news, I've been playing the flamenco scale on my guitar and I've found an inverse Andalusian cadence, which I define as (5dim, 6#maj, 7min, 1maj). Sounds pretty cool.
 
  • #2,176
Wait, that's (5dim, 6maj, 7min, 1maj). Anyway, go on with the chlorophyll.

That was creepy. I listen to very alternative music. Today, while I was thinking about a data analysis problem, the song that I was listening to started talking about applying mathematical models to data analysis problems... :bugeye: :olduhh: :bugeye:

I am almost certainly the worst cook in the world.

I have sort-of given up on learning how to cook well. There are many things that are available for microwaving that taste amazingly good; I am not likely to learn how to do something better. And if you buy these in bulk they are cheaper than cooking for just one. So I am not likely to derive any significant benefit from spending time learning to be a better cook.

It's a Wonderful Life was on last night. I wish that they would show the lost ending once in a while though. :oldtongue:

I hate to-do lists. I always tried to follow people's advice to plan or make long lists to memorize things I promised to do but I could only finish 4/10 at most, the rest I had to do inadvertently were what I hadn't enlisted.
