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.

9. I have no problem or concern in lying in order to get what I want.

-who the hell lives like that? More importantly, how the hell do they live with themselves?

Where does it say you have to answer all the questions honestly? The point is that

You answered this quiz consistent with people who score high on measures of psychopathy and psychopathic behavior.:

In fact anybody who answered all the questions on this type of test "truthfully" would probably be pretty abnormal. Professional versions of these tests check for that sort of abnormal behavior, by asking the same thing in different ways and seeing how consistent your answers are.

I came in second in the sociopath quiz: 9 points!

But I had just skinned, boned, and chopped up a Roger into little pieces.

It may have been an adrenaline type thing. :redface:

Still haven't found the stupid fava beans, nor had anyone in the supermarket tonight heard of "Masala sauce". :mad:

But liver's on sale tomorrow... :devil:

Psychopaths get a really bad rap these days.
They're not all cannibalistic serial killers.

My subdivision is right across the street from a metro station. We have limited visitor parking and every year some resident gets the brilliant idea that they can give their visitor pass to a friend so that they can park in the subdivision and avoid paying for parking while they take the metro to work. I really get tired of reporting people to the HOA manager but, if I let it go, others will get the same idea. A few years ago, it was so bad that all of the 'visitor' parking was taken by 9am. Time to thin the herd again.

Well, I wasn't really gone gone, just kind of quiet (and busy). My contributions included a joke about Walter Rudin on the science jokes thread. :)

Yesterday we had baby blackbirds and baby robins (both European, of course) in our sunny back garden being fed by frantic parents, who were trying to keep them hidden. Today things were quieter and I later found two baby blackbirds drowned in rainwater which had filled up an old wheelbarrow behind our shed during the recent wet months.
:cry:

I had thought of emptying out the water but never got round to it. It never occurred to me that young birds could drown in it.

Update: Followed baby bird sounds and found another young blackbird still OK, being fed.

I went to the library to get a book of Keats' poetry, found it, reached out to take it, got distracted, saw another book and then another and another, repeated and rinsed till I somehow reached the brain teaser section and found myself holding a book (finally) called "Another fine math you have got me into". ...And I'm hooked.
[rhetoric]Who knew towers of hanoi and Sierpinski triangles were related? [/rhetoric]

Sitting with someone who claims to be the grand nephew of the people who occupied the Oppenheimer House for about 50 years. I did not know there was an Oppenheimer House.

I think he's legit. He knows their names.

as he watches me type this :-p

Got the news I passed my qualifying exam today - such a big relief! Now the only real obstacle between me and a PhD is a few years and a lot of hard work. :cool:

That was the landmark I was thinking of. It's your turn.?:confused: what day is it anyway? I usually get confused on Fridays. Today isn't Friday is it?? Oppenheimer was a friend of mine and believe me senator you are no Oppenheimer.

Oh I know what is wrong I spent the afternoon with my two grandsons.

I finally got a new phone yesterday. I didn't realize how awful my old one was until I set this up.
