Today I Learned

[Lisa!]

Have you seen me post anything today?

So it may be false, that, nimi du nam.

If you meant "I don't know", that's right!

I often overlook Om's small print and often when I do read it I wonder what it means :D I have learned to copy, paste, and google, google, google

 

[OmCheeto]

If you meant "I don't know", that's right!

No!
It's supposed to mean; "I know nothing".
I guess it's my fault, as I broke one of my own rules:

1. No googling
2. Must be learned from a speaker of the language.​

This phrase, was relayed via a friend from his father.
The only phrases my friend knew, off the top of his head, were; "Aba ab dawd", and "Sho macha tori".

How do you say; "I am a failure".

I purposely never post foreign phrases, such that they can be googled.
And always, a bit off, phonetically.
You can catch googling "fakers" much easier that way.

Sometimes it means "I know nothing about that subject", so I guess that was correct!

"I am a failure."= "Man yek bazande am"

Lisa!, I just now for the first time saw your avatar with my reading glasses on. Until now, I always thought that it was ET playing a piano.

Today I leaned that I should quite playing games with PC because I completely lose track of time!

Oh! You don't know me at all.;)

Oh! You don't know me at all.

Not for lack of trying...

Today I learned that the Amtrak electric trains run on 25 Hz electricity. Plus a bunch of history on the different line frequencies used now & in the past.

 

[Medicol]

Today I learned that humans in the (electric) train are not getting electrocute.

I'm a little late, but yesterday I learned why factoring works to help you find the zeroes of an equation.

 

[Silicon Waffle]

I learned that my current TA job pays me lower than it does to the same people. Unfair play! I will probably quit after New Year :D

Today I learned that average hair grows half an inch per month.
So that means if I shave my head, hopefully it will grow back very soon

Funny - I looked up exactly the same thing yesterday. But if your head has to grow back after shaving it, I don't think you're doing it right.

Today I learned that if exactly 4 people like a post, the 4th person is displayed as "https://www.physicsforums.com/posts/4949711/likes".

As if "1 other person" took up less space than "Lisa!".

I learned that if I accidentally take some frozen food out before turning the oven on, and the food is not supposed to be defrosted beforehand, it's okay. I don't have to put it away, the food will still be quite frozen by the time the oven heats up.

I also learned if you have a cardboard box you're trying to shut, one of those ones like pie box that the lid folds down and the sides of the top half have to fit in under the sides of the bottom half. Well I was having trouble shutting it and I noticed it was getting stuck on the contents of the box. So I shut the box one side at a time, each time tilting box away from that side so the contents shifted away. So I learned how to close this box. Actually that was yesterday.

Shaved heads look clean.
I learned that we shouldn't shave our pubic hair because our skin around our genitals may lose its membrane which is good for warts or bacterial infections. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22362688

 

[Silicon Waffle]

today I learned that the boss wasn't going to let me have Monday and Tuesday off next week
when pretty much everyone else in the company is

He seems to be under the misguided impression that I can get lots of work done without technical and logistics( stock to repair things) backup :(

Sure hope you informed your spouse about when and how you disposed of the condom

 

[edward]

Sure hope you informed your spouse about when and how you disposed of the condom

I should post the answer to that in the First World Problems thread.

Today, I learned that Opossums have 13 mammary glands.
I learned this, because I saw a video, of what I initially thought was some Sarah Mclaughlinesque mangy mutt rescue video. But it turned out,



that it was just a very healthy looking Opossum, with, IMHO, way too many babies.

Not having been aware of odd numbers of mammary glands, I was unable to picture where the 13th should be. I of course, googled that.

12 are in a circle, and the 13th, is in the middle.
