I listened to an interesting conversation earlier today on "The Grandeur and Limits of Science".
Margaret Wertheim mentioned, "it’s often — when contemporary physicists write about the world, they talk about this as being a fundamental problem for reality. But it’s not a fundamental problem for reality. It’s a fundamental problem for human beings. The universe is just getting on with it." and followed with "And so I think the universe isn’t schizophrenic. It’s not having a problem. We’re having a problem."

I was curious and listened to some ABBA songs on Youtube labeled as (German version). At least five of them have been Swedish.

During the last week the moon looked pretty big and orangeish color.

It's psychological: you're wishing it was summer, so you're denying it's winter and acting like it is summer.

The term economy, borrowed from Latin oeconomia, at the same time borrowed from the Ancient Greek οἰκονομία, which it meant in those times "management of a household".

So, how are you managing your household?
Me: I'd very much like to converse with the administrator of the house, please.

Sorry to see the passing of Bill Paxton. This was a very nice tribute from the many people who were inspired by the movie Twister - Storm chasers honor "Twister" star with GPS tribute.

I will miss Bill Paxton. To this day I quote his lines perhaps more than any other actor.

Yeah, I was definitely thinking about that scene when I heard the news.
I couldn't find the clip but I loved the part right before his character died where he was shooting the aliens coming in the room and saying "Oh, you want some too?".
Edit: I finally found it but there's a lot of cursing so I won't post it.

There's a facial gesture I see other people making sometimes that I don't understand because I never make it myself. It's like this: you put the lower lip over the upper lip and press hard. Seems from the outside maybe like they're literally holding back words. When I try making this gesture myself to see how it makes me feel, I just don't get any clear feeling from it.
Do any of you make this gesture, and, if you do, what impulse do you think you are expressing?

Not one of mine either, however I see it associated with consternation or as you say holding back words sometimes. ( I just noticed there isn't an Emote for that one.)zoobyshoe said:

Kind of funny talk show with guests self-described "vampires". When one of the vampires was criticized by a Christian describing the vampire's actions as being sacrilegious, the vampire retorted: but Jesus says " Drink my blood, eat my flesh".
I guess from my recent comments I realize the obscene amount of late-night TV I watch.
