What is the newest installment of 'Random Thoughts' on Physics Forums?

@ergospherical I thought that was Photoshopped, but Google Images shows it's a real brand with lots of products. Sheesh!

I can beat that. In a Tokyo barber shop was a big can of Cock Grease.

Why go along with anything? Just ignore. You don't owe anyone an answer. If you want to be nice you could just text back "you've got a wrong number, I've never been to Singapore".

Yes , I agree , I will just end it at that.

I just received a new like on a post I made in October, 2003.

That must be a record for me.

10 Years after Apophis? Unlikely.

10 Years after Apophis? Unlikely.

Is that another one? Is that too about too few registers for dates?

Is that the asteroid? I thought it had changed course?

 

[WWGD]

Not quite for ' Lame Jokes' but

It's complicated, I think. AFAIK it will pass by, except it will pass through a certain area a few years earlier. Something like that.

I understand even if it veers of its path by a very small amount now, it will be hundreds of miles of. Is that its name ' apoph'?

 

[fresh_42]

Here is what Wiki says (no collusion in 2029 but ...)

This close flyby will drastically change its orbit. However, the Earth will also cross the asteroid's new orbit on April 13th each year. There will be another approximation as early as 2036. The exact distance is not yet known as small uncertainties regarding the position on April 13, 2029, will quickly increase after the deflection.

 

[fresh_42]

I think the repetition of the Carrington event is much more likely and devastating.

Oh great. Now the asteroids are colluding.

 

[fresh_42]

oops ...

In my phone now but will later check if it's a Tuesday or Friday 13th ( different in different countries). See how much superstition it will bring about.

If you have a problem with asteroids, just get some Preparation H.

Seems these collisions are so delicate, even 10 minutes or so can make a big difference.

I thought that was for As# Teroids.

If you have a problem with klingons, just call Capt Kirk.

I saw an interview where William Shatner talked about life after Star Trek ended. He went through a divorce [IIRC] and ended up living in a trailer park not far from my home. Holy cow! It dawned on me that I could have ridden my bicycle to Capt Kirk's house!

Why not " materialize" in his trailer? Sorry, not that much of a fan of the show so don't remember the precise terminology.

But I remember hearing that his attempt at humor towards his fans " Get a Life" backfired.

 

[gmax137]

Shatner is still working at 90 years old. He must have a passion for it.

I've once read an interview in which he said that he never cared a lot about money and always worked if he needed to.

I remember a phoney contest in Mad Magazine where the prize was "a semester at the William Shatner school of acting."

Rip MAD. I wonder how those who worked there could transition to more traditional occupations.

Mad Magazine, and then the National Lampoon. Some of those were hilarious from front to back.

I ask myself the same about the guys who made spongebob. Did they run out of weed?

I agree that in general if you've watched most cartoons you have a good idea of what the pot/drug experience is like.

Did you watch MadTv? I thought it had some pretty good stuff. And further back, " In Living Color" had some good stuff too. Not quite the same, but , hey, what you going to do? I ran into Living Color when someone recommend skits from Oswald Bates. I am glad I checked them out.

You're far too fast. You must slow down. I know it is difficult in a city like NYC where everybody is constantly in a hurry, but you have to force yourself. Don't travel back in time.

Why not use the last name ' Rowave' if your first name is Mike?

Had a right giggle this morning, one of my favourite scenes from this show.

Looks like the shed at Dulwich. Great food!

Kind of weird that suddenly raw sugar has a sweetening effect to my taste buds. After I had started using Splenda, Equal, nothing else worked as a sweetener.

Well, they have ice cream in all sorts of I usual flavors: black bean, potatos, etc. , so it seems like the next step.

 

[WWGD]

I remember the grimace I elicited in this Brit when I told him I drink my tea iced, instant Lipton, with two Splenda. But I do put my pinky sideways while drinking it.

Weird how my Android phone charging time doubled when I charged while the phone was off. From an average of some 170 minutes with phone on, " standard"; 140 minutes on and airplane mode, to 280 minutes when the phone was off. ?

That’s when the intelligence agencies are scanning your phone.

It's such an absurd outlier. Maybe I'll take more accurate data to estimate the variability ( which had been small) , since this seems like a $5\sigma$+ deviation.
