Random Thoughts Part 4 - Split Thread

[Borg]

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 .

I must be getting slow. That went over my head at first.

Maybe you've been spending too much time in Bandersnatch's crackpot thread :D

There would be others much worse off than me if that was the case.

Ya know, I was randomly thinking about special relativity and what all these space-time diagrams, invariant intervals, and proper time things meant, and then it hit me...It really is true, wherever you go, there you are!

"Gadzooks", quoth I, "but here's a saucy bawd!"

A quote from my favorite book, the turbulent, turgid, tempestuous I, Libertine.

How great was it? It made the New York Times bestseller list in the 50's in spite of the fact that it didn't exist!

 

[Silicon Waffle]

It's not strange at all. My buddy's ID card's 3 last digits are 314 too. But he was never the PIE.
BTW, I am reading the latest and very good C++ book of Mr.Meyers. :D

Kind of strange that a single shot of espresso at around 6 p.m kept me up until around 3 a.m ; according to:
http://www.cspinet.org/new/cafchart.htm

A single shot has 75 mg. of caffeine (half the 150 mg. of the doppio in the list) and in another site I read that
the half-life was around 5 hrs. (I would assume less than that if one exercised , which would raise one's metabolism)
so that by 11 a.m there would be around 37.5 mg. and around 15 by 2 a.m. ( I guess the decay is exponential ). Seems
like 15 mg. would not be enough to keep one awake.

I just checked another source and it seems the relationship is $h_n =h_{n-1}(0.87)$ , where $h_n$ is the amount of caffeine at n hours, for $n \geq 1$ , i.e 87% of the amount is left after one hour . So by 1 a.m , I would have around 25mg.

Sorry for the pre-calc-like problem .

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.

I know which one you chose. Were you contemplating a woman's deck as well? ;)

Tomorrow is recycle day, and there is a gentleman walking up and down the street digging through everyone's recycle bins.
If he doesn't find any cans, he kicks the bins, slams the lids, and screams obscenities until he reaches the next one.
I think he may have watched one too many Samuel L. Jackson movies.

There was someone going through the trash cans where I used to live, looking for market data and personal info. I started putting "gifts" in the trash, like the feces of my dog mixed with the trash. He stopped snooping after that. Not out of cruelty, but to protect my personal information from identity theft.

He doesn't sound much like a "gentleman", but maybe you could put some cans in a bag and put it on top just under the lid (maybe even some cookies once in a while):) take that holiday spirit right through the year :D

I actually used to do that. Once a week I would hang a bag full of cans from a small bush next to the street on collection day eve.
But one collection day morning, I looked out and saw that one of the can collectors had dumped the contents of my garbage can into my yard.
They did that, as they obviously needed my trash bag, to collect more cans.
It was quite the mess to clean up.
Since then, I no longer leave them my cans, nor do I use full sized trash can bags.

I may not have said them out loud, but I'm sure my mind was streaming with very colorful, Jacksonesque type phrases that morning.

Hmmm... This is weird, just the thought of sharing holiday spirit and cookies with them, has those phrases running through my head again.

I love my job. It's cool. I should have been doing jobs like this since my early days after graduated from college :D. Hopefully nothing bad takes place that may change my love for dragons.
I am actually very lucky!

25-30 is normal and above 30 is perfect!
I scored 23 the 1st time I took this test

22 first time, 32 second time.
It does depend on the colour you get though, so you need a lot of samples

 

[WWGD]

Maybe a hipper ( or maybe just more pretentious) way of saying someone died is: "his wave function collapsed...for good"

 

[Silicon Waffle]

Oh no, only 20 :(

read my clipboard
:D

 

[lisab]

I got 24, 24, 25.

A guy at my work got 35! He said the trick is to not spend any time looking around. The more you move your eyes, the more the squares look the same.

OK I just got 29. Very monitor-dependent, I'm afraid.

 

[WWGD]

I got a 29 after a bunch of 19's, 23s, 24s. My trick was to let the subconscious do the job and not try too hard.

 

[WannabeNewton]

It's Jimmy Page's birthday. Wee.

 

[WWGD]

Maybe not an important point, but if you were born in the 1900's (I assume this applies to just-about everyone in PF at this point), then your birth date matches your birth year, i.e, if you were born on January 9 1945, then 1/9/45 -->1945, etc. But there won't be anything similar to this for a long while now, I think until the 2100's , when we can have prople born on February 2, 2/1/xx --> 21xx .

 

[DarthMatter]

That's very interesting. If I make it into 2100 in a robot body, I'll send all other PF-robot-body-guys a message.

My scores at this game range from 16 to 34. Must ... stop ... playing ... now.

 

[WWGD]

What is the maximum possible in the game?

 

[Lisa!]

What is the maximum possible in the game?

I don't know but somebody at another forum scored 48!

 

[DarthMatter]

$48!$ or 48?

 

[drizzle]

I probably need to consider not driving for real...

 

[drizzle]

I got 22 then 28

 

[Lisa!]

$48!$ or 48?

48

I probably need to consider not driving for real...

Why?

 

[DarthMatter]

48

Phew.

 

[drizzle]

Why?

I just had a car accident [another one]. Luckily no one got hurt.

Sorry to hear that but I think you should not give up so easily!

 

[BobG]

I agree. It wasn't until my son's fourth car that he had to renew his license plates. His first three cars each lasted less than a year due to car wrecks (not all his fault). Since then, he's gone over five years without a wreck.

 

[Medicol]

Yes, it's not time that you gave up

 

[lisab]

Sorry to hear it . Glad to hear no one was hurt, too.

Is there a pattern to these accidents? Like, time of day, weather, speed, etc.?

 

[drizzle]

Thanks all. The other driver got a ticket for speeding in a neighborhood area. The weather didn't help either.

Better step back from the edge, we don't want to see a dizzy drizzel but seriously, sometimes things going on in ones life can have an affect on how aware one is about little things around them. PLEASE be careful, you might not need to give up on driving :(

Thanks RonL. It's just stressful. Funny enough I love driving on the highway...

I feel the same and I really don't like to drive at night.:)

Don't give up. Get one of these:

Lol Om, ironically my car [a BMW :D] totally stopped before anything happened and the other car slipped towards me.

My shoulder and neck still hurt :/

Lol because I had a car accident?!

I love tomato juice. I stumbled upon a spicy tomato juice at the supermarket the other day, I LOVE IT! *heart*

So then you definitely are a Muslim man. Medicol was right!

I'm only afraid American patriots on PF will not like you then.
