Random Thoughts Part 5: Time to Split Again

[Psinter]

This is so true: (except for the flying bicycle)

 

[Silicon Waffle]

I have my speakers on at the moment and believe me I hear the repeated sounds of "tat-tat-tat..." from them while that bicycle is being ridden across the moon.

. My volume is full and I can't hear anything.

Seriously, I always hear the noises on pages where e.g animation, marque texts etc exist, even when I scroll my mouse up and down. Do you know why ?

oh, why don't Americans use metric system? every time I'm reading recipes or something technical (eg. size of phones or tablets) I have to convert all the time

No, but there maybe a cure. A friend of mine always replied to his tinnitus attacks: "Shut up! I know you're not existent!"

They hate the French.

They hate the French.

Than why, when I watch TV show where they show luxurious American houses they seem to LOVE French country style?

Oh, they love them, too, it's both. It's simply that they don't understand them at all. That's why they call the belgian fries french.
Btw., it took them decades to change the calendar because they hated the pope, too.

Donald Trump and Jeb Bush are secretly the same person. He ran two campaigns so that one would highlight the qualities of the other. It hasn't worked out as expected, so he's embraced the character fully. The American people will elect the dark lord they deserve.

...or all of your friends will laugh too. Which is what seems to be happening to me.

 

[fresh_42]

I imagine how it would look like if someone had assembled some of the molecules which are also there!

 

[Ibix]

I showed the picture to my wife, who is a chemistry lecturer. Apparently they were building molecules with those kits in one of her lab sessions a couple of weeks ago. One of her female students held up an OH in one hand and an H in the other and announced that her water had broken.

Very good, young padawan, very good.

I have been knocked down by the/a stomach flu. I had stop becoming sick less frequently over
time, but it hit me, had to stay at home, sleeping it off; I have slept around 5h after around 10 a.m;
I just close my eyes and automagically fall asleep..

Hope you feel better soon - being sick sucks.

Sounds complex.

I use Fahrenheit. Give me the temperature in Celsius and I'll make this face: And I have to buy all of them to be on the safe side:

It would be nice if I could standardize all my devices to use only one of them. And vehicles too. Vehicles have pieces in all systems which makes it a hassle.

Yay!

I find we should strike back and start to use Réaumur!

I *love* the "Reader View" option in Firefox. Makes reading articles soooo much easier.

I put it on on YouTube, but I could not read the video.

Changing national borders in Europe



Lithuania used to be pretty large, then Poland, . . . .

 

[rootone]

And Holland (the Netherlands), was once considered to be Spanish territory, and it gets weirder still

 

[fresh_42]

Once, I remember, a colleague entered our common room at the institute and he announced: "I got it. I calculated that Poland will vanish in the Atlantic 200 years from now!" - You cannot even imagine how I wish he will be wrong. One of the reasons, maybe the only, I love the EU for. However, it actually looks like these idiots of politicians (all over the continent + the island) are willing to throw it away because of some thousand refugees. Unbelievable. I hate it if people haven't learned anything from history. You Americans aren't the only one whose politicians are mainly nuts. - Someone ought to send me to sleep ...

Good night.

I have this intense need for chocolate right now and the internet throws me this.

Psinter, listen to your body. If it needs chocolate, eat chocolate. If anyone criticises you, tell them you have low magnesium level and even though you hate chocolate, you MUST eat it in order to prevent breakdown of your nervous system!

Well, I'm underweight by 10 pounds. All people around me say is: "Damn you that can eat so much and not gain weight." and "Why do you eat so much and not gain weight?"

The bad part of it is that no matter how hard I try I don't gain muscle mass either. They only get shaped, not bigger. They grow, but I noticed it requires a ridiculous effort compared to how fast my friends make theirs grow. Like way much more effort. So I stick to just giving them shape.

EDIT: In resume, I don't get much critics for eating chocolate.

I frequently hear such noises as well, especially when my volume is turned up high. I assume that the audio circuitry is picking up some electrical interference either from the video circuitry or from the processor circuitry.

Determinants suck!

Luckily there's Mathematica.
