I eat one big bar of Snickers every night. It's crammed with peanuts, nougat and coated with milk chocolate. Sweet and fantastic in every bite.

Speaking of unidentified flying objects, would you consider wearing a ufo cap/umbrella...?
Looking pretty outlandish, I'd say...

Also, possibly the shoulders of an adult male.

A Namibian beetle evolved to a point where it's water intake just sort of happens.

"Microscopic bumps with hydrophilic (water attracting) tips and hydrophobic (water repelling) sides cover its hardened forewings, which it aims at oncoming fog each morning. Water droplets materialize out of thin air on its back, then slide down channels into its awaiting mouth."

Talk about "spoon fed" by physics.

I can't wait until there is a cure for AIDS.
I will be free to do everything then

I finished watching the Soyuz reentry vehicle live feed a couple of hours ago.
I'd never seen it before.
I decided, after about an hour, that it was very much like having a baby.
First, the ship/mother shows up.
Then a bunch of people start setting things up, while a bunch more people just stand around, waiting.
There were at least two people with video cameras. I'm guessing they were uncles.
Then, after what seems like forever, a human pops out.
In this case, it was triplets.
Then they carry away the helpless astronauts from the mother ship, put them in recliner chairs, and wrap them in blankets.
Then, for 20 minutes, everyone around them comments on how cute their smiles are.
Then, about an hour after the whole thing started, everyone goes home.

I accidentally "barred" some "h"s in my literature essay, got comments like "Why do you keep writing it this way?".

So true. I mean, imagine if I were to have knowledge of some mafia transactions and all that. I wouldn't be able to live peacefully. Thank goodness I am ignorant of anything that happens in the mafia. (I actually took a criminology course focused on White Collar crimes. The things you learn. Shhhhh. Ignorant is good)

How capitalists fight: We'll take you down men! We'll take your whole company down! (I'm kidding )

It's already morning here. Let me think...uhm...It's a good numerological idea . I'll vote for PI.

The last two backpacks I've had (and worn out) I got at the swap meet for $3. Thought I might get a brand new one this time and was a bit surprised at how much they cost new: $40 to $80. There's always a big selection of used ones at the swap meet, and no one seems to think they're worth much, even when they're in good shape. So, I thought a high priced new one would be about $25.

In other news, I found out Starbucks gets stuff in relatively large cardboard boxes. If you need a large panel of cardboard for a project, they're the place to ask.

This afternoon I fell asleep and dreamed I was using the griddle app on my Mac. I was frying some chicken pieces and scrambled hamburger on it, but after I got going I felt this was going to be hard to clean and that most people probably never used this app. When I woke up I marveled at the fact it had made any sense at all that it was possible to cook things on your laptop.

Did you get any comment saying "wy do you keep writing it tis way"?

February 7 2018 --2/7/18 will be Euler's e day. And those ( if any) who will be alive in the year 15927 will be able to have 3/14/15927 .

For backpacks, if you can afford to wait until September at the beginning of the school year, you can find some good deals. And maybe for the griddle, you mixed up Mac with Mc, as in McDonald's

 

[nuuskur]

by my estimation there will not be another Pi day for like a century (unless I'm missing something), just under 14 hours left of today!

Actually, I spent all night replacing a zipper, which was the problem. The new zipper cost $3. But this particular backpack has a configuration of pockets I like.

Could be. Usually my dreams are clearly traceable to something I've been thinking about recently, but this one baffled me.

Next year there'll be 3.1416 day.

that's off entirely by the order of 10^-4. Though any March 14 would be a Pi day, but that's too easy :<

C'mon, you got to round off somewhere or you'll never get anything done.

In other news, we had a power blackout tonight from about 12:30 to 2:00. It is an unseasonably warm night, and I bet too many people had their air conditioners running.

I call it the mathematicians' curse. Unless I'm doing my physics assignments, I absolutely DETEST the idea of rounding anything anywhere.

What did you once call me when you responded to my email ? I actually never hope it was typos.

My room temperature last night dropped to 83F and it felt cold. Plus I have a mild fever (because I accidentally poisoned myself with medicine, nothing serious though) so it felt even more cold.

Dysfunction[/PLAIN] of the thermoregulatory system is one of many pathologies documented in experimental animals and humans exposed to toxic chemicals. The mechanism of action responsible for many types of poison-induced fevers is not understood.

Hug me zooby , I'm seeking warmth. I feel cold.

Spoiler

I'm okay in case anyone is wondering. It's just fever, not the end of the world.
