Terrifying! Going out shopping with a gun on.
100 years later, US will become a gang house.

Their mindset is fixed about "safe and sound" policies. They should leave the US and move to Mars.

I think that is about as close to the edge as I would want to go and I am talking about the guy. :D

Maybe not too funny?

I was in a conversation where this young woman whom I don't know too well said,
" I am 91" , where she meant clearly from the context that she was born in 1991. I told
her: "you don't look a day over 70". Now she won't talk to me anymore.

No snow, but I did have to scrape frost off the windshield this morning.

It was funny! It reminds mathematicians that not all people are mathematicians!

I went to bed at 9:00 last night, not the least bit drunk. Woke up feeling awful but I'm much better now.

An inauspicious beginning to the new year but lucky for me, I'm not superstitious :D.

 

[nuuskur]

I uh...what? What year is it? I just got up... I will never drink again as long as I live...

When I'm about 70, I'm thinking of starting a punk band called "Grumpy Old Men." Concerts begin around 4:30. We'll sing about medicare (or whatever it is at the time) and have songs like "Get off my lawn" and what not. We'll ask the audience "how is everyone doing tonight?" and when they answer we'll say "I can't hear you!" and then when they say it louder we'll say "No really... I can't hear you!" Every time the audience cheers we'll tell them to shut up. And they'll love it. But we won't do encores.

Anybody in?

LOL! Watched this show when it was streaming on Netflix. Wish they'd put it back up.

My favorite:

BMX Bandit:
I' ride in through that window, using my BMX, and spin my rear wheel, kicking some mud up into their faces. While they're distracted, I'll pop a wheelie, knocking the guns out of their hands, then you go in and untie the girl!

Angel Summoner: Right... Or...I could just summon a horde of angels to sort it out..

As long as you make it slow I might be interested. if I'm allowed to be in a wheelchair.

The only strange thing I have seen in GD forums is that this
https://www.physicsforums.com/forums/relationships.199/
forum has not any thread that starts with "I want to talk to a handsome man", ""Oh my gosh that's kind of the macho man I've been seeking", "Hey boy Call me Maybe", etc (that seems to be a room for men only) :D

 

[WWGD]

I Finally decided to stop complaining about the cold and actually did something about it, buying a scarf and a hat. Now the cold weather seems reasonably-bearable; I only need something else to start complaining about. Ideas?

I'd like to complain about the price of metric screws. At Home Depot one 6x1x10 screw costs .40.

I had to replace 6 plastic bumper clips for my wife's car yesterday. The dealer wanted $2.25 each! I refused to spend that much and walked out. This morning, I was on Amazon looking for cheaper alternatives. This is the part that I was looking for:

I eventually saw this in the "Customers Who Viewed This Item Also Viewed" section:
http://www.autobodysupplies.com/2000dnew.jpg

It wasn't until then that I realized that I have a bunch of those in my garage.
Funny how the brain works sometimes.
The bumper is now securely in place and I didn't have to spend $13.50 + tax.

Let's talk about something you don't like but you have to run into daily.
I have a bunch of English documents that need to be translated into Japanese.
Some of them got translated and read smoothly but the native don't understand. How awkward!
Many are still remained since a plethora of words are unknown and hard to understand.
The worst thing is the original document seems to have some very important pages missing.

I'm wondering what is "undergrad master's" listed in the drop down menu in the educational background part of the personal details. Any ideas?

I'm not sure, but perhaps it refers to programs that are BS/MS combined programs. They aren't common. Typically they add a year or so to the traditional 4-year bachelor's program.

Not all departments will offer that degree. I have seen this in a MEng course, and it takes one only 4 years to get a master, also ie. http://www.shef.ac.uk/aps/prospectiveug/courses/mbiolsci
I don't know if this is really good but subjects with lots of "theories" need one's time to digest its every single ingredients.
I now would want to earn more money to buy a house, the current monthly saving is still small

Oops . . . Ouch!

An 80-metre wind turbine, valued at over £500,000, collapsed on a mountainside near Fintona in County Tyrone.

A couple days ago I found out the glass holding the 'mercury' in my thermometer wasn't locked in place and could easily slide up and down. I have no idea if I ever knew the right temperature. I tossed it and bought two separate, distinct kinds of thermometer to replace it. So far, two days later, they still agree with each other. One of them has a little humidity sensor included. It looks like it operates by a bimetallic spring, but I don't see how metal could react to humidity.

Sounds like a metal-paper coil type hygrometer (link is to Wikipedia).

Thanks. That must be it. This was certainly an inexpensive device: $3 at Home depot.

I bought a couple of frozen chickens a few weeks ago and the first one had 6 hearts! I thawed the second one today and it had 5.
I wonder if I should take a geiger counter with me the next time I buy chickens at the store.

I'm assuming that someone on the production line tossed a bunch inside one bird but you never know.

 

[WannabeNewton]

I can't decide between buying a new peacoat or a new deck since my old skateboard has gotten worn out. This is tearing me apart internally. I may have to seek counseling.

Oh...I thought they were just frozen chickens, not production-lined frozen chickens!:D

That's the way that most are processed in the U.S. They clean out the insides and put the neck, heart, gizzard, and liver inside. I've gotten an extra organ before but never anywhere close to that many. Getting two in a row like that makes me wonder if they came from Chernobyl.

That's happened to me before.

And once I bought a mega-pack of chicken wings for a big party, and they were all packed neatly together. It occurred to me they were all right-wings. I served them to my hippy friends anyway .
