Me too :-)

Now you both should look up the definition of "tripe" so you don't get it confused with "trite."

Of itself the human mind has no power greater than self deception. Hence the revolutionizing utility of the scientific method.

Lew's Corollary, Virtually everyone is clueless as to their actual motivations, hence the human condition.

Appropriate sources: An objective reading of the history of "civilization".
 
Trust me, "tripe" is a gastronomic implement of torture.

I'd be slightly worried about the delivery options. "You weren't in when we tried to deliver, so we left your package in the crater where your house used to be."
:oldlaugh: That's so like them.

Psinter, what a beautiful post! There's so much feeling in it. You have such a gift for observation.
You should write a book.
Thanks.

Don't worry, as a non-native-English speaker you, Sophia, all others, do better than some 99.99% of native English speakers who can barely make a coherent sentence in other language, and in particular in non-Western languages.

I don't know the difference between the two, I will look it up.

You shouldn't bite a poisonous creature and shouldn't get bitten by a venomous one

Good, I will stop biting creatures other than dead cows, chicken etc., and will avoid being bitten in general :).

It's not a good idea to be bitten by a poisonous creature, either. The puffer fish, for instance, can and will, take a little chunk of flesh out of a person.
 
The raccoon dog is cool.

Is it group by or having? I know it is not that hard, but for some reason it just does not register in my mind.
I know only of 'group by'. However it might depend on the SQL implementation of the data server. SQL isn't an absolute standard AFAIK. I've seen slightly different syntax's on different platforms.
 
Eyeglasses:

When you go to an optometrist or eyeglass vendor, the walls are covered with eyeglass frames for you to try. They all have glass in them. Every time someone buys a pair, that glass is removed and replaced with glass ground to their prescription. The removed glass, which is not ground to a prescription, is never-the-less shaped for a specific frame and can't be just popped into some other frame for display. At the end of the day, any given store must have a little bucket full of unusable, blank lenses.
 
Today while I was walking on the street, a kid somewhere suddenly threw a stone as big as my fingertip at my head right above my ears while playing with his friends. I almost got a coma, and in a great pain. :doh:
 
I know it IS not the one but why I now also feel a little sad.

That's awful. :frown: I hope you're okay.

Oh, that must have been a shock. Hope that it will be only a bump on your head, nothing more serious.

My grandparents once explained me something about dreams like this that somebody not you was using your body in your dream; we shared our bodies with the unknown. They are old and superstitious though. :-p
By the way, I tend to "try"
I have a comment about this, but I am not sure if it is appropriate to post comments. I seem to remember this site from a long time ago, such as it was it now is again, I find myself in contemplative, geneous and sincere thought about the various workings of the universe and the fundamentals at work. I would like to come to be able to talk about these things with anybody that can understand or at least contemplate with me. What I am really good at is listening, I already have my own ambitions for discovery modes, so often I find my questions are common amongst like minded individuals. However, such as I was I am.

I am not our father ... nah jk

Seriously though, I think this place might feel mean to me, in which case I just have to leaf ;) (with my pic come on)

None of that was my comment about dreams, about the dreams I have had, the dreams I have made, the dreams in which I have discovered, conquered, failed, dreams that burn like fire in my memory from childhood throughout adult Life, I have about 6 dreams I remember so vividly all other dreams are forgotten in a sense (and I dare not take inventory on them by counting them alound in my mind), thus far. My original comment was more along the lines to explain how I feel about sharing a dream, or not being in control of them ... and how that relates to some very fundamental forces. But I am scared now, scared that I got booted from this place a decade ago. I am scared to ask people questions. That sucks.
