Nerd in paradise: World Almanac 2019 ( confusingly covering 2018) finally came out*. Still , a bit absurd to provide population figures with such precision, e.g population of China as 1,379,654,238 as if this level of accuracy is likely. Reminds me of other story: "How old is the earth? 4.5 billion and 3 years old. How do you know? Three years ago someone told me it was 4.5 billion years old.

* People could not absorb the fa t that I was actually excited about this and kept asking : no , really, why are you excited?

Three years ago someone told me it was 4.5 billion years old.

Thanks, that made my day. I'm still laughing.

Another day that I just completely forgot to eat after 11am. Woke up desperately hungry today.

Still, when life throws you cracked eggs and old bread, make French toast.

Yep, but you struggle with your monopol!

Seems this will take a while. Monopol?

 

[WWGD]

And instead of Snickers I had French toast -- and then I was myself again. I guess.

I still have no idea what a monopol is .

 

[WWGD]

My stuggle, confusion between algoritms and logarithms stopped after I took my dyslexia medicatioan. Algorithms are the ones with the exponents, right?

Yeah, lacks a y.

Yes, that is the obvious one but I don't see how it fits the remainder of your post.

You're not the only one with obscure posts, obviously mine are obscure, too.

Obviously, you have no monopol-y on obscurity (obfuscation ?).

 

[WWGD]

Maybe make it sound like a line from a musical (which I never understood nor saw any point in) : Obviousl-y you have no monopol-y on obscurit-y. Nonsense, the musical.

I'm watching a long debate between a Flat Earther and an astronaut on the tube. It's hilarious, but I don't think PF would appeciate me linking to it .

Mental Diarrhea the musical?

 

[Astronuc]

TOP 20 ROCK BASS SOUNDS OF ALL TIME. Do you agree?
I agree with the assessments of:
John Paul Jones, Led Zeppelin
John Entwistle, The Who
Tom Hamilton, Aerosmith
Getty Lee, Rush
and
James Jamerson, uncredited bassist (studio session player?)

I reserve judgment on Tom Peterson (12 string bass) on "The Dream Police" and Jeff Ament on "Jeremy".
Interesting sound.

I would have included:
Matt Bissonette, Joe Satriani on "Searching"
Jon Camp, Renaissance on "Ashes Are Burning", particularly the solo on the Live at Carnegie Hall album.
Chris Hillman, The Byrds on "Eight Miles High"
Paul Samwell-Smith, Yardbirds on "Smokestack Lightning"

I'm probably showing my age/generation.

I still can't get used to the fact that 'Krakow' is not 'Crack House'. Please pronounce distinctively.

The link contains a shop where you can buy them. However, the United states' custom laws won't allow you to do that, so don't get caught

I always liked halvah :)

When I hear Semper Fi, for some reason I feel like saying Super Fly. But my therapist is out of town.
