Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around frustrations with current documentary programming, particularly criticizing the History Channel's focus on sensational topics like time travel conspiracies instead of real historical content. Participants express disappointment over National Geographic's sale to Fox, fearing a decline in quality programming. The conversation shifts to lighter topics, including humorous anecdotes about everyday life, such as a malfunctioning kitchen fan discovered to be blocked by installation instructions. There are also discussions about the challenges of understanding various dialects in Belgium, the complexities of language, and personal experiences with weather and housing in California. Members share their thoughts on food, including a peculiar dish of zucchini pancakes served with strawberry yogurt, and delve into mathematical concepts related to sandwich cutting and the properties of numbers. The thread captures a blend of serious commentary and lighthearted banter, reflecting a diverse range of interests and perspectives among participants.

I keep forgetting. I wear my jeans and red cap, thinking I look hip. Yet, what I get is one of :
" Dude, mine's the one with pepperoni " ,

Or, while they hand me their car keys:

" Park it carefully this time!".

Is the issue of dark matter detection constrained by the limit of grey matter involved? :wink:

The moon rocks are unnaturally aged.

Since they're subject to a proton bombardment from the sun (and other cosmic radiation), which can easily start nuclear events such as radioactive decay the radiocarbon dating gives wrong results.

Why do so many carry construction and otherwise material horizontally, instead of vertically and close-enough to their body? I need to keep a radius of 10+ feet to avoid being hit.

It's all about center of gravity. :wink:

Actually my remark was an idea, it's not like I know it is true or something.

That's probably a spammer. Brand new account that *helpfully* links to a website is the main clue. I've reported it.

That one has been dealt with (newbie spammer banned). I thought @Rive was referring to this one (not necessarily spam yet):

Still trying to figure out why Sql Server uses TCP (instead of UDP , or other) between front and back ends.

Beats me, is it a TDS protocol thing? I'm wondering about name collisions and buffer overflow. :confused:

I'm also wondering, at what point in AE's career did he realize what his "relevance" theory meant in the terms of nuclear weapons? (seriously, don't try and figure out a punchline.)

Ah, I think TCP is ussed to make the connection and then TDS is used to communicate. I guess first set up connection in Transportation layer and TDS works in the Application Layer? Or did I forget some of my basics?

Jeez... you already forgot more than I'll ever know. I think it it's something like TDS over tcp, let me see if I remember that right.

Nice. There's also Shared Memory, but not sure where, how it plays a role. (Somehow your attachment didn't render in my PC , though not in your post #9320, but it did when I hit reply) . Will try to see about the APIs as well: ODBC, Native Client, etc.

It's a wwweird world on the web, Your edit didn't appear until I hit reply also... the screenshot was an edit also, connection or coincidence? Your mention of shared memory got me side tracked with the overflow thing again.

More nasty weather near where I live in Kansas.

There are several tornadoes in those storms.

edit: some of these storms had wind speeds of 60 to 70 mph

@WWGD , any ideas on this question?

I'm just curious about AE, although the protocol stuff is interesting.

One tornado just went north of me. I almost went to my storm shelter but the siren in my area stopped sounding so I decided everything was probably okay.
