Pariah Posted October 14 Report Posted October 14 As of late last night, my 10-year-old has 1,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel. His response? "Now we start getting paid!" What a nut. Quote
Cancer Posted October 15 Report Posted October 15 Hmm, lovely. Looks like the cold front and snowfall will hit northwestern Utah about the same time I do. Quote

death tribble Posted October 16 Report Posted October 16 A lemming sighting ! Praise be ! Nice to see them. Quote
Clonus Posted October 18 Report Posted October 18 It never occured to me before, but even though real Canadians take off their shoes on entry into houses, people on Canadian TV shows never do that. Quote
Ragitsu Posted October 19 Report Posted October 19 "elaborate" versus "elaborate". One is a verb; the other is an adjective. They also sound different from each other. Can you guess which is which? Quote

Bazza Posted October 19 Report Posted October 19 My guess is snow. Hope Cancer remembered to pack his skis. Quote
Pariah Posted October 22 Report Posted October 22 How much is one pound three ounces in real units? Quote
Cancer Posted October 23 Report Posted October 23 I have driven from Seattle to Austin (leaving house etc. under my daughter's supervision) to attempt in retirement something I couldn't manage in 19 years of teaching: get back into some astronomy research. I had a standing invitation from my old PhD advisor to come down and spend time. So, I'm here for most of two months to get immersed in it, meet collaborators, and pick up new tools. While there was snow next to the road for a brief interval in Utah (on US 6 between Provo and Price) it was not a problem, aside from its influence on the inevitable other idiots on the road.

death tribble Posted October 26 Report Posted October 26 In one month this thread can legally drink in the United States. The follow up thread Musings on Random Musings had its 20th birthday in September. tkdguy 1 Quote
death tribble Posted November 1 Report Posted November 1 Only two of the houses on the street had Halloween decorations up. One had a pair of skeletons outside and bats while the other had graves of famous people (Elvis, Anne Boleyn etc) and a sign post for Elm Street and other haunted or spooky locations. Halloween is just not big a deal over here but they made the effort. Quote
Bazza Posted November 4 Report Posted November 4 God, I don’t ask for much, but can the US choose freedom over the next 48 hours? …Or should I post in the cranky thread? Quote
death tribble Posted November 9 Report Posted November 9 There are people who like Scrappy Doo ? Quote
Duke Bushido Posted November 15 Report Posted November 15 As I sit here pondering the lost Buddhas and the lost pyramids found in jungles and looking at the marvels of things built a thousand years ago and then look around at the various banana republics and desert kingdoms I am stabbed through that tiny part of my heart that still thinks that something admirable may one day be discovered about humans-- No matter how much art we have forgotten how to paint, no matter how many civilizations have lived and died leaving only a scant stone record of cairns and diases, no matter what incredible things we have forgotten how to build-- There will never be a time when ten thousand men will not know exactly how to destroy the ones that are left.

death tribble Posted November 16 Report Posted November 16 It looks as though Chocolate Watch will start earlier than I thought. As I have chocolate that will last until Christmas and then into the New Year Quote
Cancer Posted November 24 Report Posted November 24 (edited) An issue with my casual naming of scratch files is that when working from the command line I find myself giving commands like "more barf" fairly frequently. "cat barf" occurs also. Edited November 24 by Cancer at least I don't finger barf Quote

I will crack it open as soon as soon as I finish the Tullamore Dew. Quote
Bazza Posted November 28 Report Posted November 28 And let’s not forget The Tread for Musings on Random Musings which was locked due to the flame war between Worldmaker & Morningstar70. Quote
