Random Thoughts Part 5: Time to Split Again

I cannot make this!

I cannot make it! It doesn't work!

Neither can I.

Yay! I'm not alone!

I should stop trying, as I apparently gave the finger to like 5 people while trying.

@fresh_42 That place has a lot of people. I think I had never seen so many people in one place.

I must say, I can't think of a circumstance where such redundancy is necessary. While PIN number and ATM machine seem to be common usages, I think they're incorrect and my inner pedant leaps to the fore every time I see them. I was just duplicating your comment on redundancy for - apparently ineffective - comic effect.

Sorry again, man, I have been too square recently :1,4,9,16,.. it's all I am. But I agree that the repeated need to deal with unnecessary redundancy is not needed. And I am pretty sure I don't walk alone on that one, nor do I march by myself, nor displace myself solo, in my search to avoid having others with me as I ambulate.

All hail Caffeine! Glory to the Dark Lord. And more sugar... definitely, more sugar.

Coffee. Black as the sky on a moonless night and sweet as its silence. The age of Apis is past, the night has fallen.

 

[fresh_42]

Recently I've heard on a TV show (Numbers): "Mathematicians are people who transform coffee into theorems."

I thought that was from Paul Erdos.

Apis?

 

[fresh_42]

I thought that was from Paul Erdos.

Alfréd Rényi, who was addicted to coffee, is the source of the quote: "A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems", which is generally ascribed to Pál Erdős. It has been suggested that this sentence was originally formulated in German, where it can be interpreted as a wordplay on the double meaning of the word Satz (theorem or coffee residue), but it is more likely that the original formulation was in Hungarian.

Apis?

A piss.

You know which member from the forum I miss? @drizzle

I've been thinking and it sucks to become attached to people. In an old forum which no longer exists I made friends and I missed them a lot when it vanished. That won't happen to PF, but I may soon not be able to come here. And when that happens I'm sure I will miss a lot of you.

In order to avoid that, I think I must not become attached. That's what my logic tells me.

Commitment and Fulfillment please.

The last time I spoke to drizzle she was going home to her sister's wedding, haven't heard from her since. Why wouldn't you be able to come here?

Oh wow, I miss Cyrus, haven't spoken to him in ages. Pengwuino stopped coming here when we went to the new forum and didn't have PM in chat.

Yeah, their battles were epic.

 

[Evo]

Yes, they were. The old days were awesome. We had some really funny people, I don't know why they left and things got so boring. Well, I know why some left, like tribdog. But Artman was such a hoot. Before him we had Njorl, but I know why he left. Then some just grew up like yomamma, he even changed his name. And then their was Franz and smurf. <sigh>

I'll never grow up.

Good, I'm holding you to that!

Discipline.

I hope so too.

I hope she is okay.

Why wouldn't you be able to come here?

If I could predict what will happen that would be awesome. It's still just a may, I may still be able to come here. There is more may than may not. Oops, I'm short on time. I'll come back today later.

If you don't come back I'm going to ban you!

LOL evo!
Today I calculated something and got 6.66. Twice. What could that possibly mean? :-0
I know! That's because I ordered Devilish schnitzel for lunch!

 

[Psinter]

I'll make a program to login every now and then during a period of 3 years to make it look like I'm still alive and not get banned. By the time someone realize it, I'll be long gone.

I'm just kidding.

I like you guys very much.

Edit note: I changed my words. The previous words in the first sentence attract you know what from you know where and it is annoying when those things come.

Gingrich joined my team (Cruz(R), Duckworth(D), Ernst(R), HRC(D)). He wants me to donate for Kasich(R).
Beside the little unimportant fact that I may not vote for them, I even won't. None of them has been invited to spam my email account.

What to do, if correcting "Consider a signpost in Glasgow pointing along a Roman road ('cos they're straight) to Edinburgh that says 'Edinburgh 100km'" would be off topic? AFAIK the Romans haven't got north of the Hadrian's Wall and therefore couldn't have build a road for the 67km distance ...

But bar patrons were Fox reporters, so he thought they were of his kind.

I have yet to see a bar that is a "no spin zone" (the monkey very well could have been a reporter "out with the boys")

 

[Psinter]

In the folktales I've been reading, I don't quite remember which from all I've read, but specifically a girl told to a boy whom she appeared to like (but the boy was after a new girl who appeared): Try not to overdo it. I don't need to tell you this, but boys tend to show off a bit when they are around girls.

What a very observant girl. I wasn't aware of that at all, but it makes sense now that I think about it. So boys tend to show off when there are girls in the view. Hehe.

 

[fresh_42]

Yep. They regularly show up in the newspaper on monday morning when they've wrapped their new car with a fresh driver license around a tree between a disco and home while speeding to show off some innocent girl they wanted to drive home. I cannot understand why there are still girls who enter those cars. Never, ever!

Poor tree.

Elections are coming soon. Yesterday a girl was talking to me about her social and political inclination and it appears an old guy heard her and began lecturing her while I was away. The old guy was telling her whom she should vote for, but she actively refused the old guy's words. Then the old guy told her: "Listen young lady, you need to think about your future."

To which I laughed. And while I was making this face I was thinking that it had been me I would have told the old guy, to finish the conversation at once: "I don't have a future and I never had one. Voting won't change that fact ever. Telling me to vote these days is like telling me to choose the caliber with which I want to be killed and expect me to be happy about the opportunity of doing so. I'm not going to vote this year and that's my final decision, are we clear or shall I slap you in the face with facts about every single party candidate?"

That should have ended it. People telling others who to vote for really grind my gears. When I'm in the mood for a joke (almost always) I tell them: "I'm going to vote for Hitler!"

You ought to be more careful!
I once knew a punk who at first sight looked a bit like a nazi. The opposite was the case. One day he met a real nazi on the sidewalk. The nazi lifted his right arm an greeted "Heil Hitler!" (Heil is the imperative of to heal in German.) The punk's answer has been "Heal him yourself, idiot"
I would like to have been on the scene so much.

Really? Ahahahahaha! That must have been so funny. I once read on the Rules of the Internet, one of them said: "Do not hail Hitler... unless you want to."

Interesting distinction made on a TV show, between being Childlike and Being Childish . I know someone who seems to fit into one of the two, but I am not sure which.

I may fall into the childish group at times, I guess :). But the point was more about the difference between, e.g., childlike innocence that an adult may have, which may be considered a positive quality to have and childish behavior (which an adult could also display at times)

The KFC joke has been definitely a measurement which resulted in childish.
Edit: ... on the other hand ... I'm not so sure anymore. How did the apparatus react?

 

[WWGD]

The KFC joke has been definitely a measurement which resulted in childish.

But there is also the surprising coincidence of the common last name: Sanders, which is not so common of a last name. And what if Bernie was in the army and was also a colonel? Two colonel Sanders? I'll be right back, I am going to get myself some fried chicken.

EDIT: I suspect your dislike of the joke is mostly on categorical grounds. Maybe you would prefer Co-KFC, with the Co-Kernel?
