Today I learned the creator and writer of Deadwood has dementia. And that we (fans of Deadwood) got the Deadwood movie in the "nick of time".
The New Yorker article / interview of David Milch
Side note wow the New Yorker writes at a high level, between their interviewer / writer and Milch I had to google a few words to get meaning beyond that implied by context.
How good of a "writer's mind" does Milch have? Here's stage two of three dementia impacted David Milch brain...
Singer: I’m sitting here listening to you, and you’re describing what you’re describing, and there is to me an immense irony: this is the same mind that I’ve known for as long as I’ve known you.
Milch: That’s a blessing of this conversation, and I’m concentrating and thinking as hard as I can. I’m asking for the grace and dignity of a lucid cogitation. I’m asking of my faculties, such as they are, in whatever diminution they are, to meet you fairly.

I never had a special look on the potatoes I bought. Unless recently. I apparently grabbed a sort which is incredibly wet inside. It was awful, so for the first time ever I had a look on the name to avoid future mistakes. It's called Synergy and they were from Egypt. Now that I know that half the Nile is inside their potatoes, which made me wonder, since they need their water themselves, I also have an idea what synergy meant: they crossed watermelons in!

I just found an old article: "On the Theory of Triads" (Kristiania 1921)
Fortunately it wasn't Chinese. But if you read those old texts, then ##\otimes## is really a relief in notation. Someone should tell physicists as they still stick with their coordinate notation.

Didn't really expect this one: Sunshine, this woman sitting close to me at Sbux, asking me if I want to " Take it Outside". " You really want to do it, bro?" EDIT: She left, we did not rumble. I know I cannot win in a situation like this. Frankly seemed like a hidden camera thing.

There is indeed some kind of connection between Pfeiffer (with 3 f) and PRussia. Not quite PRussia, but it's mentality which counts here.WWGD said:

We live in a world where food is full of chemistry, but the cosmetics are full of avocado, honey and vitamins.

My wife once told the girl in a cosmetics shop that she really wanted to buy the eye shadow she was looking at but, as a chemistry lecturer, if she was told one more time that there were no chemicals in it then she'd have to walk out.fresh_42 said:

That's why I changed 'chemicals' to 'chemistry' which stresses the synthetic aspect instead of just 'stuff'.Ibix said:

The nutrition fundamentalists become more and more annoying. I just bought apple juice (100%) and the company actually felt the need to print "vegan" on its label! I'm getting old. I don't understand this world anymore.

We say "ur-" for great, and grandfather is the same "groß-vater". Thus you can have a great (großartig) ururururururururururururururururgroßvater. And it's shorterWWGD said:
And even shorter if you replace grandfather by "opa".- 20,819

Hard to believe: the greater people are the shorter they were! Or is it better to say the more greats here?WWGD said:
