Missive From ‘Merica: Sum Weight ‘Ugo

Maybe it’s all just a big joke? Butt the silver screen is beginning to wear a bit thin, isn’t it?

That was the last line of a new post put up by Hugo at The Probe yesterday. A few days before that, TNT put up a post at The Lab, that had some focus on ‘Cooper’. And in between, Red Frank’s MEROVEE post featured…

So last night, there was an almighty fuck up at the Oscars, w(h)ere the wrong picture was announced winner of the Best Film statuette. ‘La La Land’ were given it, but it was meant for ‘Moonlight’…

Also last night, The Underdog posted about his battle with an intractable pelmet…

Cade also sent me a missive last night, which the LoL presents for you, below. Can fewer words have more weight? You decide, Dear Reader… Catch you at the bottom…

*******


Grabity has gone somewherz elses that is not here.

Q: I wonder where here will go now that grabity si gone?

A: ?¿?

Prolly somewherez elses. But that’s just a guess.

An uneducated guess…of course.

FYI

I guess that I’m wondering about temperature and temperatures. I’ve long held that friction is what makes The Universe go. Yes…in more ways than one. But cha gotta give a little to get a little. Or…you can give a little…then just…chill.

OH! And sorry to start off so rapidly and verbosely today.

I had an idea about temperature(s) with respect to matter(s) and energy/energies, and I don’t wanna forget it like I tend to forget about most shit that I think about. At least until I remember them. And some people are hung up on “pertinence”…so…let’s see if “temperature” is pertinent.

^Hybrid – Dogstar^

So…good day to you citizen(s).

How is the weather where you be is at?

What is the temperature where you is be at?

T-EMP-ER-AT-UR-E

I think I spelled almost all of most of some of that correctly.

Temperature.

< 98.6°F <
> 98.6°F >
< 98.6°F >
> 98.6°F <
^Hybrid – Disappear Here (Official Video)^

Q: R U HOT?

A: I YAM. (not)

I mean…I wish I was hot. But I am not. So let’s continue to think in the vein and veins and realm and realms of temperature and temperatures. But in order to do so, we must be complete-ish in our thoughts and thinking. So…let’s just cut right to the chase and think…”birth to death.”

So yeah…engineering and design.

We’ll develop the idea(s) from there.

^Imagine Dragons – Radioactive^


So irrespective of whether you’ve read any of my previous bullshit, I’ll go ahead and repeat myself here about some thoughts that I have had with respect to things like brake pads, and the materials that they are made from. Afterall, these things are built to fail. That’s how they work. They are designed to wear out and wear off. Remove “the old ones” when they are no longer effective, and slap some new ones on…good as new. However, the primary question that I have posed is…

Q: Where does that shit that wears off…go?

A: ¿?¿

Yep. That may be a good plan for a while, but how long is that while when we are traversing uncharted territories?

And more than that, what about when those uncharted territories become charted? Common…even.

Accepted?

Acceptable?

Are we keeping track of unacceptable when sailing the seas of the acceptable?

Afterall, these devices are made of and from materials whose primary purpose is to regulate and/or control and/or divert or reduce heat. Asbestos, carbon-fiber, ceramic(s)…all kinds of crazy whacked out shit, that some are trying to make more and more versatile and/or efficient.

So…when going from “particulate” to “particulate” over time, how well are we tracking this shit?

ARE we even tracking it?

Are we able to track it?

I bet someone is gonna have to at some point.

That's just a guess tho.

^The Thrillseekers – Synaesthesia [original] [1999] [epic trance]^


So I guess I need to bring up anti-freeze, windshield washer fluid, aircraft de-icing fluid(s) and shit like that since we are talking about temperature(s) and shit like that. Because some temperatures are hot, and some are cold. But first, let’s think about body temperature and the regulating of body temperatures with respect to….Asbestos. So…think “Mesothelioma”…since it’s a type of lung cancer that is caused by asbestos.

Q: Can lung tissue(s) properly regulate temperature when and where Asbestos or any other temperature resistant and/or temperature regulating particulate matter/material(s) exist?

A: !!!

Yeah…I’ll simplify that.

Q: Can your body properly regulate temperature when you have temperature regulating shit that isn’t supposed to be there…exists?

A: Yeah…at the cellular level, up and down. Meaning both size AND temperature.

I dunno. Seems to me maybe that…if a microscopic sliver of Asbestos exists in your lung or any other tissues, the cells might just have difficulty figuring out how to accurately perform cell division and or normal cell function.

Q: Ready to talk about Strontium now? Spall…even?

A:

That’s what I thought.

Me either.

Let’s do it anyway.

^Moby – Bodyrock (Hybrid’s Bodyshock Remix)^

So in order to think about what I am thinking about with respect to Strontium and Spall in and around nuclear detonation(s) and/or nuclear reactions of the…erm…”acute variety”…since Strontium in these cases tends to head straight to the bone and stop…think about crystals and crystalline structures, salts, fats/oils…and…friction. Specifically…friction welding. Keep X-Rays and Gamma Rays on the brain while watching the following on friction welding…if you so choose to watch it.

^Ultimate car brake test video (Explosion!)^

Oh…I’m sorry. That was those crazy Finnish idiots over at Beyond The Press finding shit to tear up during the long boring winter.

“Nevermind the mosquitoes…”

Anyway…erm…here’s a video on friction welding if you are interested.

Oh, and I love the comment on the preceding video after the brake rotor/disk flies apart…

@06:46 into the video….”THIS WENT REALLY WELL!”

lolz

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03FioPzhEBM

^Hypnotic Video Inside ¦¦ Welding movement ¦¦ Friction welding^
  • So why would Strontium “weld” itself to bone upon entering the human body?
  • Welp, ain’t there Calcium and Phosphorus and Nitrogen and Oxygen and shit like that in them there bones?
  • Ain’t there like Iron and shit like that in the blood/body? I mean, the body is under a lot of pressure and pressures right?
  • What about when a combination of Gamma and X-Rays blast through the body preceding the arrival of said Strontium?
  • Don’t we need to also think about Microwaves and radar and conductive materials and convection and temperature regulation(s) on all kinds of scales?
  • Especially depending on the origin and origins of “the nuclear fuel(s)” being used?
  • Especially when thinking about things like Cobalt and Steel?

I dunno. I’m a dumbass. Just…brainstorming.

^Arctic Monkeys – Do I Wanna Know? (Official Video)^


Thinking about spins and spalls, I just wonder how many times a particle may change direction, directions and spin(s) when in a “detectable” motion, and what about after that particle and or particles are no longer detectable by “detector A” and/or “detection method A”? Because now we are talking about “radiation”…which means a different type of spin and spins, that…within the human body…has just gotten even MORE dynamic due to the spins and flows and motion(s) within the human body and its materials/membranes. So thinking about THAT

Q: How well does the body regulate its temperature with radioactive materials inside of it?

A: “Hotspots?” … “Coldspots?” … “Isolated Spots…where the temperature can no longer be regulated properly?”

So…mutation.

So…DNA.

So…let’s talk about Teflon in the bloodstream.

^MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS – THRIFT SHOP FEAT. WANZ (OFFICIAL VIDEO)^


Actually, I’m not gonna talk about Teflon. If you wanna look it up yourself…feel free. Look up lead cookware while you are at it. It appears that some of our ancestors used that shit to no ill effect. I mean yeah…they’re all dead…but we don’t know what killed them all. We can’t assume the lead cookware killed all of them.

^M83 – “Wait” (Official Video)^

I dunno. Maybe there are people everywhere that are already aware of and/or thinking about shit like this. But I do know this. I shouldn’t have to wait until I or someone else gets sick to find out that someone else was already aware of this shit. I mean…how much do you really need to know about weapons and weaponizing to know that it ain’t no fucking good.

I gots no answers. Only a few things that get me by when thinking about shit like this.

Time and times.

A purpose to every one.

I guess I just never really see the body as something that is ever not in motion.

Rest? Sure.

Work? Sure.

But we are here…and we seem to be alive…and until that changes, I don’t see a need to panic or freak the fuck out.

Am I pissed? Sure.

I’m I hurting. Yep.

Do I care? I think so.

But some decisions, I don’t get to make do I?

Learning is always scary…always.

Because you cannot unlearn something that you have learned.

Yep. You can change it.

Augment it.

Rearrange it.

But that “something” that you originally learned will always be there.

Feel free to add all sorts of analogies there as to fading and dusty and whatever floats your boat. Knowledge sure scares the shit out of me. Especially that shit that I”m not sure what to do with. Most of the time, I keep it to myself and marvel at it from as pure of a “discovery” type of light as I can. But…there is always a pulse to that whatever it is. A reason as to why I needed to know that whatever. Even if that reason is simply…inspiration.

Q: I wonder how much “information” and/or “knowledge” weighs?

A: It weighs on me pretty heavily.

But…that’s just me.

Now…the most casual of casual observers who watch the following video, will be able to get some indication as to “how aerobatic pilots are able to fly such straight lines”…sometimes anyway.

Sometimes, the most simple of simple things can help us to determine what is and what is not…”a good line.”

^Rob Holland "What I See - Competition Practice"^

If you happen to be an air traveler or any kind, and happen to have 11 minutes and 11 seconds to watch/listen to the following video, it will explain maybe a bit about my personal humility and thankfulness for people and the things that they do. Because sometimes…when every fucking thing goes absolutely wrong? All kinds of shit…somehow…go…correctly. Must be some one and ones and zero and zeros types of…things…or something like that.

Or something.
^REAL ATC] FULL LOSS OF POWER at Miami International #KMIA^


On the previous post of mine here at Roob’s LoL, I made a comment to the effect of…

“I think many people are fond of looking up for a reason.”

What this SHOULD have said…was..

“I think many people are NOT fond of looking up for a reason.”

It was a typo on my part. And after re-reading it, and thinking about what I was thinking at the time, plus what I thought about after catching the error, then what I thought about since then, plus what I am thinking about now…I left it as is. I didn’t ask Roob to correct it, and I’m not asking her to correct it now. I am simply taking a moment to explain what I was thinking and why…because there was and is a FUCKTON more than simply…”people are afraid to look up.” Taking that thought a bit further… “people are afraid to look up, typically…for the same reason(s) that people are afraid to look down.”

We seem to be this…erm…contradictory type and types of beings.

EX: Knowing what we know about the Earth/Terra and it’s round-ish shape…put a human being sitting in a chair on the face of our planet Earth/Terra, and have that person seated facing AWAY from the/our direction of travel.
Meaning: have them face the sunset.

Now…zoom out until you can see the entire planet AND this seated person.
Suddenly…you, as the seated person watching the sunset…are traveling…backwards.

Q: How many observers are required for this experiment?

A: (do your own fucking homework) 😉

https://youtu.be/v_yj2YVFjgk

^Revolutionary Airplane Propeller in Action: 
Extreme Engineering Antonov An-70 Plane Taking-off^

Q: What sorts of “caveats” did you find with the above?

Any? Many? From a relativistic standpoint, which direction was the seated person traveling? The answer should be…they were traveling at all. They were at rest. I mean they’re seating watching a fucking sunset for chrissakes! All we need is some beer and chips…then that sunset would prolly have been all that and a bag of chips. Too bad the motherfucker observing that shit from outer-space missed it eh? They were too busy watching some lucky asshole sitting in a chair…chillin, and having a beer and some chips while watching the sunset!

Weird.

So yeah…thinking more about context, and how a single word accidentally omitted by some shitty typist/thinker/sucks at *.* type of person that is me? Yeah…it kinda…changes the meaning and meanings. My thinking is/was/is that the sentence/paragraph/though(s) still made sense, but yeah…it grated on my nerves…wondering…

Q: What do I do?

A: It’s already been done.

/me shrugs

That’s why I tend to write something without really going back and re-reading, which helps me to focus a little bit better when I actually sit down and start writing.

I don’t overthink…I don’t underthink…I just…think.

At least I think I do.

Subjectivity is like…just like…your opinion ma’am…or dude…or…whatever.

So…I stumbled across something yesterday. Had a thought was more like it. Back in September/October of last year, I had some thoughts on making some videos about some of the things that I talk about with respect (or disrespect) to mathematics/physics/chemistry kinda sciency shit, and my crazy theories about simplicity in complexity…simplicity being the more complex of the two/the most complex construct there is. But I didn’t make these videos because I’ve been stewing on the shit. There are many things that I personally have questions on, but the most important of the nagging questions is really just one question…

Q: What is the practical application?

A: !!!

Yeah. Knowing and knowing alone and proving aren’t good enough as far as I’m concerned. Why? It’s already been proven. We’re here. It worked. It works.
Halle-FUCKING-lujah…it works!!!!

Q: Now what?

A: Keep going…keep going…keep going.

https://youtu.be/WIE5i-Rpw-U

^Tornado Destroying Everything Compilation! (Part 1)^

So what I was thinking was/is…that maybe charges aren’t what we think they are with respect to atomic/sub-atomic particles. And yet…maybe…just maybe…they are sometimes exactly that. It seems that the overlying theme within science AND religion…is looking for a stability that just…may not even fucking be there.

Q: If we as humans cover every fucking square inch of this planet that we live on, where is everything else supposed to go?

A: ¿?¿

Yeah…I bet there is a lot of life and lives wondering exactly that. Especially those “less-animated” forms of life-generating substances and matter like say…a reasonably solid patch of earth to stand on. Can’t have “organic” with “inorganic” eh? I guess the only time inanimate matter matters is when and where it does. So yeah…there’s DEFINITELY some ethical questions there with respect to respect and disrespect. But…fuck that noise…let’s rock this hizzay!!!

^Martin Garrix & Jay Hardway - Wizard (Official Music Video) [OUT NOW]^

I guess what is bending my mind the most is still that fucking asshole Thoth and what he/she said with respect to straight lines. The crux being “evil travels in straight lines.” I mean, once I heard that? Yeah I WAS ON FUCKING BOARD!!! I fucking HATE Geometry! Geometry is a buncha straight lines that are fucking stupid and give me more “F’s” because I suck at Geometry. But the roundest of lines is still a straight line with the proper application of mathematics and time-based motion…so what in the FUCK was/is Thoth talking about? Maybe it was the part and parts where Thoth talking about twisting and turning to avoid this evil that was pursuing him/her. Because honestly? I think I get it. All you have to do is think a bit about orbital mechanics and the dynamics of space-flight, and suddenly, a lot of less “razzle-dazzle” types of things start to make sense. Everything from the flow of tides, to storms that destroy reef formations, to the female Praying Mantis biting the head off of her reproductive partner. Lotta curvy lines there eh?

Q: Do you see the straight line(s)?

A: ???

I do. Some of them anyway. Prolly has something to do with text and language/communication.

All are naught without else.

^Helicopter Shot Down - Onboard View (Ukraine)^

So yeah…I guess one of the main things that I have been thinking about with respect to accelerators and/or colliders is…

Q: At what point does “energy cease?”

A: SAY…fucking…WHAT?!?!?!?

If you overspeed a helicopter blade…eventually…it will cease to create lift. So thinking in terms of “a unified theory” with respect to what is going on “at the point of impact”…and thinking about strings and stings and membranes and sound(s) and vibration(s) and energies with respect to motion…how is it that you are sure that there is NOT a non-collision type of collision that is actually happening? I mean…there are things that allow things to happen right?

Q: What about those things that prevent things from happening?

A: !!!

I mean…have you really considered this? How many different particles and particle types in different states would need to coalecse at a certain point at a certain time at a certaiin point in time and space, in order to prevent two particles of a certain type from meeting in a way that they should not meet in the natural scheme of things? Would you know what you were looking at in that instance/those instances? Or do you just assume that your original calculations and plans are proceeding as projected? How in the FUCK would you know the difference if you are unwilling and/or unable to consider alternates?

Q: If “the genie has been let out of the bottle”…how would you know?

A: !!!!????!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!

Because I wouldn’t count on The Genie to tell you. At least…not until they’ve had a look around for themselves in order to figure out what in the fuck is going on, and why has someone let me out, and what to do about it now.

^Manufacture - Many Machines^

I don’t think that there is anything particularly provocative about what I am saying. I mean, science is trying to duplicate the conditions at or about the time of “The Big Bang”…so why would you be surprised at the absolutely fucking whacked out shit that you find in intentionally trying to duplicate something so destructive?

I mean…the last time that these two successfully got together? Time stopped.

Why? Well…that’s complicated. But let’s just say that two things that should NEVER be gotten together again after being separated once? Yeah…I bet you can suddenly think of all fucking KINDS of things in life to relate such an experience/experiences. Because what you are ignoring? Yep…the first separation…to…the second joining. One that became two, that became one. You are ignoring TRILLIONS of years that you have no idea about with respect to time, because you define these finite times and timelines as negligible.

SCENARIO: You live 80 years. You are the greatest scientist known to mankind. Your 80 years is suddenly erased.

Q: How important is time nested in time?

A: …

Nothing is unimportant.

Q: What makes science think that other stars out in The Universe are not surrounded by the same or similar?

A: ?¿?

Q: Are you sure that you are seeing stars, and not stars that are shrouded?

A: ¿?¿

I dunno. This would explain a lot.
To me it does anyway.
I mean, it’s not “that simple” and there is more to this…but I’m thinking about pulsars and neutron stars…as we have so dubbed them.

Q: I wonder what “the rocks” in our Oort Cloud contain/are made up of?

A: ¿¿?¿¿

Q: I wonder what “the ice” and “the ice crystals” in our Oort Cloud contain/are made up of?

A: ¿?¿???¿?¿

Q: I wonder what “gas” and “gases” in our Oort Cloud contain/are made up of?

A: ???¿?¿?¿???¿?¿?¿???

Q: I wonder what “energy” and “energies” in our Oort Cloud contain/are made up of?

A: ¿¿¿???

Yeah…I dunno either. But I have a pretty goddamn good idea.

Sorry. Just…

thinkin out loud.

It’s warm as FUCK here. 71°F. There’s a thunderstorm to the southwest of me. It was lightning pretty good, and raining like a motherfucker at the far south-end of the storm…prolly about 5/10 miles away. Looked like a big assed hourglass where the moisture had simply gotten too heavy at one end, and was pouring like it was being funneled from the upper outflows and inflows. The wind was fairly noticeable as the storm was dissipating, and heading northeast towards where I was watching the storm. I was judging the distance(s) by the clouds visually, and the sound aurally…as there was all kinds of lightning…but no thunder. Which is weird considering the direction of the low level winds. Almost like the sound was getting sucked back up into the storm itself, as well as being muffled by the rain. Weird…but not uncommon. I’ve noticed this quite a bit with really powerful single storm cells before. Clear air all around, storm almost right on top of you, lightning like a mofo…but not a sound. The calm before the storm gets to where you are. The general perception is typically…”if you can hear thunder, you are in danger of being struck by lightning.” But that’s not always the case. Then again…I live at the very base of “Tornado Alley.” Well…one of our tornado alleys anyway. We actually have two big ones and one small one here in N. America. But you can find that on your own. I suggest searching Bing. (lol)

Been thinking about light and starlight quite a bit recently with respect to speed and distances. Afterall, I disagree with Einstein and most others with respect to speed and speeds in the Universal context.

 But not always

I’ve postulated that matter/matters and/or energy/energies can travel at speeds which are so incredibly fast, or so incredibly slow, that they make light appear as if it is standing still by comparison. I’ve also postulated that light can and does “stand still” within certain contexts, irrespective of the speed of other matter and energies in proximity to said light. So yeah, regarding the above about our Oort Cloud…I see the facilitation of transportation of matter and energy on a far more complex scale and scales than we are privy to here on Earth/Terra. Yep…neutrinos again. I just think it important to get away from this “nothing is really real” and “everything is hollow” and “we don’t really actually ever touch anything” bullshit…because it removes context completely by adding context. Ironic eh? Just because you “zoom in” to a ridiculous level of magnification of the wood that makes up my tabletop, do NOT make that tabletop disappear. You’re simply looking at it via different eyes via different methods.

Q: If the tabletop “wasn’t/isn’t really there”…how in the FUCK are you looking at it?

A: !!!¿¿¿!!!¿¿¿!!!

Q: What about the methods and mediums you are using to look at this tabletop? Are those methods and mediums “real?”

A: ¿!?!?!¿

You trying to scare the shit out of everyone and everything? Because I was under the impression that “science” was for the benefit of “mankind.”

Q: What about “for the benefit of everything else?”

A: … ¿¿¿ …

Yeah. You’re including a whole fucking shitload of shit, then tossing it for what you want or what you are/were looking for.

Q: What do you think that our sun looks like from 1,000 “light-years” away?

A: !!!

Ya...srsly.

I wonder if those high-tech representations we are so fond of showing our Sun/Sol as this tiny fucking dot in the middle of nowhere…are…accurate.

Hmmm….

Maybe…

Just…maybe…

“Science” is getting it wrong with respect to sizes of planets and stars because of all that is omitted in your calculations.

Maybe…
Just…maybe…
You’re even getting it…backwerdz.
At least…some of the time/times.

If you think “Agartha” or maybe even “Russian Nesting Dolls” with respect to light…then add you some prisms to those orbs via crystals and crystalline shapes/forms…you’ll figure out how some of these stars are so goddamn big, and why you might be wrong with respect to just how large or small they are, and just how long these stars “live” or “don’t live.”
OH!! I’m sorry.

So much for the giant snowball eh? It’s more like a disco-ball sometimes. I think this will also help describe the perturbance(s) in not only the orbit/orbits of travelers, but also solar wobble with respect to a star/sun’s relative position to…

A) Itself
B) It’s travelers and their travelers (yes, all of them…local, less-local, remote,                less-remote, more-remote)
C) It’s galaxy and the locals relative to local, more-local, less-local, etc.
D) The Universe locally
E) The Universe remotely

Hey. Don’t bitch at me. You fucks wanted to think big. Let’s think big.

We’re just stumbling all over that “dark matter/dark energy” bullshit…and refuse to believe what it is eh? I guess ya gotta keep in mind that just because “a comet” has yet to become a comet in the solar context in which we know it best, that does NOT mean that a comet is somehow different on the galactic/intergalactic scales, just because it has yet to leave The Oort Cloud and orbit our Sun/Sol in the way that we are most familiar with it. It’s/they are already orbiting our sun. They are simply doing it on a less-eliptical plane and/or orbit. And also don’t think that meteors, asteroids and other comets are necessarily responsible for crashing into each other and sending shit flying in the way that science always seems to describe. Think: stable, less-stable, unstable orbits. We also need to keep in mind things like solar wind(s) both inbound and outbound. It seems to me that our Oort Could would have the effect of drawing any “excess energies” away by angling these energies. But this is going to be hard for me to describe here in a few words, because I see other energy and energies over time and times that are very easy for me to think about…difficult to describe, because I think more in terms of “handshakes” with respect to energy and energies instead of “give take” or “intrusions.” Sure…that happens. But I still think even that/those are simply things that we cannot yet describe. Why?

Easy.

One word…

Q: If a bubble or membrane bursts…how long does that bubble or membrane retain the information that created and maintained it?

A: FUCKING WHAT?!?!?

Perspective. Keep it in mind. Contextually anyway. We are leaving a lot of stuff out over time and times over time. You fucks are so fond of folding this and folding that…why not fold your bubble or membrane that is rupturing instead of assuming that it dissipates completely? Yeah…that it re-forms. Yes…you read that correctly. That sometimes bubbles or membranes that “rupture” or are in the process of rupturing, are actually re-forming. Yep..even inside out/outside in. This should help out a bit with respect to strings and sting theory with respect to strings and stings that are “dangling” as it has been so described. That should help you understand “darkness” a little better. I think that darkness is not always the absence of light. If you make a light particle or stream a shade more conical…now you increase it’s speed and intensity eh? Sound familiar?
Should help “filling in some gaps” that are already filled. Just…missing-ish.

Roob might have to get a little creative with that section above. I had to venture outside of my comfort-zone with respect to thinking about her having to edit this shit. But sometimes necessary becomes necessary. Of course, I dunno what else it would or might become other than concern, but it’s already a concern as far as I am concerned. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be necessary eh? Not necessarily anyway.

I can talk myself into anything.

Q: Can someone who possesses the ability to “talk themselves into anything”…also possess the ability to “talk themselves out of anything?”

I guess I don’t understand what I perceive as science’s fascination with non-motion. Things not moving. Singular views of non-singular entities of all kinds. I mean…sure…I “get it.” But you are putting together a puzzle that is already complete and completely incomplete and non-completeable. Use your own fucking models for examples. We were primordial ooze that oozed…and now…we are primordial ooze that walks. And oozes. But we walk more than ooze. Right? Sorry…but are you really interested in teaching children that they are nothing but a walking pile of snot and shit that, contextually, doesn’t matter to The Universe at all….and expect them to be encouraged and excited about their prospects? And no, before you ask, I’m not suggesting that we be deceptive. What I am suggesting, is that you have no fucking clue yourself…so why preach your bullshit? Oh yeah…you have “an opposite” that is preaching their bullshit and holding you back or holding you down or being deceptive or talking as if they know what the fuck they are talking about.

Does science really plan on telling future children how many children in their past, our present, had to suffer and die so that we could explore our Universe and understand our place in it? Ya’ll keeping records on that kind of shit? Ya’ll working on explaining how you chose what you chose and why via the proper and accepted and acceptable channels? Or are ya just…hoping that insignificant details such as this will shrink in significance to future generations in lieu of what we have learned and achieved. Ever thought about maybe polling some of today’s children around the world and see what they think? Cause this ain’t just about science or even technology. But then again…nothing ever is simple. Everything is a process. That’s a fuckton of processes.

I just had a conversation with someone regarding left and right and liberal and conservative. During the course of this conversation, the term “anarchy” was brought up, and I commented that “Anarchists are simply confused conservatives.” This of course, resulted in some shock and dismay, because supposedly Anarchy exists only in a realm of absolute freedom. “Absolute” is your first indication that something is amiss. Conservatives try to exercise a balance of freedom from government and freedom of government. To me, this is anarchy in disguise, as these people retain their right to freedom as individuals. They prefer to exercise it through via “commonalty” via government(s) and “the rule of law” and it’s punitive nature. However, you retain the right to exercise your rights via whatever channel(s) you prefer or feel you need to exercise them through. If your neighbor “threatens you”…you are free to interpret that as you will, and act as you see fit based on this rule of law, irrespective of your neighbor(s) wants needs and whatever led to the situation in the first place. More likely, your need/needs superseding your neighbor’s needs.

EX: Your neighbor has a party. Guests park in front of your house on the street. The party gets louder that you would like. You call the cops. Your neighbor expresses their displeasure at your tolerance levels for others and their needs. They were celebrating something. This interfered with your peace. Strangers creeping around your house.

No. The first reaction is not always the correct one. It’s a reaction like any other. Typically, a reaction to an action of some kind.

Q: Now what?

A: ?¿?¿

I figure if God/the gods/The Universe can tolerate my sorry worthless ass for 49+ years, they can prolly tolerate your bullshit too. Maybe you should consider tolerating unique events as unique events. You cannot control what you cannot control. And when you do? Things tend to get out of control. But these are just my musings based on my observations. I’ve thought about this shit for quite a while. To relate…
Somewhere…out there…right now…there is a tree that will be cut down…that will start a chain of events…that will lead to human extinction on Earth/Terra.
Somewhere…out there…right now…there is a tree that will seed…that will start a chain of events…that will lead to human’s continued existence on Earth/Terra.

Yes…both.
I guess it’s a matter of timing eh?
We are NOT a species that is “destined to survive” of our own accord for our own benefit at the expense of everything else.
But I could be wrong.
Maybe you are one of those trees.
Which?
I dunno…you outta be able to answer that question…not me.

Dear Reader, have a Song ❤

Room x37 – Spotting Syncs 101: A Pointless Exercise Part 1.1

Part 1.0 can be found hear.

This the image Clicky woz-knot able to place in last night’s shambles *Click, if anyone presses, just embiggen and please, NO hiding things this time. I saw what you did. Scolds.

2. Emale One of 7 talks to 6 Sent Sunday evening 201215 Homework

 

I am in the process of transcribing a conversation I had with Clicky yesterday, whilst dissecting the show. Hopefully, it will be reddy later this week 😉

Sew… wats on massage in emale? *lights up*

The Thing is, I think I can show you through the medium of a Pointless exercise.

For this, you have to know that I am one of three:

1 a. Love the Glove came from Shiny. That’s Clicky by the way in case you didn’t recognise the Joker faced dolphin. Gets everywhere *rolls eyes*
2 b. Who can resist those Legs? Wat a storyteller? I nicked Click off of him *squint*
3 c. Click: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b06tgyd1/pointless-celebrities-series-8-14-reality-tv

I’m going to shamble this tomorrow as the first lecture on ‘Room x37 – Spotting Syncs’ at the LoL. These take time. I’ll try to keep it simple. I suggest we make your homework fun, so I suggest a game… Texas Hold ‘Em.

Card I: watch this with my husband. He is The Tardis and I am The Doctor. But I’m not always The Doctor; with sum I am The Tardis. Or River. Or Clara Or A N otherDeepends 😉

Card 2: We compete against each other, St Eve and I, but we also compete against the contestants on the show. We are one team, it’s a game we like to play. Like me and Loopy Louis. He gave me this video to show after we made his den for the evening (photos attached)

Card 3. In my shamble, I will include our answers. These will be honest and truthful. I donut L13 about this because I donut cheat. You see, I’m better than Captain Kirk 😉

Card 4: Another video from Louis. He loves bringing me things we can LoL about together. I’m the Girl with the Mousy ‘air… u gno Roob or Boor… I’ve seen iT 10 times or more

River Card: “Argentina! Woo Hoo! Pointless answer!” *buffs nails*

So homework people. Chop! chop! I’m going to watch the last three episodes of Doctor Who with my husband, now. I’m afraid I am going to have to take a lead role in the search for 137.

On the other hand, I can’t tell you wat to do. Do what you like. Butt I love you all ❤

Rubedo

Okay, we didn’t get to watch Doctor Who that night. We watched some ‘Married with Children’ instead… Sew then *puffs out cheeks* correspondence to catch up on, screen shots to, well… grab

CYL and have a Song 😉

 

The MEROVEE Experiment

Yesterday at The Lab, Korben Dallas mentioned a problem with posting on MEROVEE

The Lab Korben Dallas has a posting problem at Merovee

*Clicky did you hide the link to my response behind the image? Ah, yes, I see you did. Well, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink… or click for that matter …/titters 😉 *

So, problems with ‘in moderation’ comments disappearing from my screen. But who would believe me? I know, I thought, I could do an experiment and try to show what I’m seeing.

Now this is a Library not a Lab. Could be dangerous, but fortunately I carry my own PPE

PPE

I posted a reply to an overnight comment to me from DDNA on ‘Believe In Love’

1037 in moderation reply to DDNA screen shot Merovee 1612151037 in moderation reply to DDNA screen shot Merovee 161215 part 2

Five links were used (including one image and one Song). Normally this would be published straightaway but it went into ‘moderation’. As you can see, Frank’s reply to DDNA’s comment is directly above and Viktor’s is directly below.

I carried on doing other stuff and decided to go back later…

CLICKY: For a closer look ;)

GONE!

Not only that but a further comment to Frank went into ‘moderation’

Another merovee comment in moderation part 1

Another merovee comment in moderation part 2

Another merovee comment in moderation part 3

*Clicky, can I just say you’re being very good today restraining yourself for this experiment? Don’t answer, just keep it up 😀 *

I went back to look again and this comment, too, had disappeared…

CLICKY: Faithfully...

GONE!

So Korben Dallas, as you can see, it’s very possible that this is what could have happened to your comment on MEROVEE. No doubt they’ve slipped into ‘spam’. I’ll email Frank and we’ll find out 😉

Meanwhile have a Song…

 

Deep and Crisp and Even

Twitter buddy Mhehed Zherting sent me a Direct Message last night. “My 15 seconds of fame”.

HLNMGkXM

In the Wail, no less and flagged up on Twitter. Mhehed, always on his toes, had spotted and responded to some first-class fucktwattery on Twitter – a Politically Correct McNanny calling out a non-descript supermarket for stocking a

McNanny's irresponsible tweet

“They make Gin & Tonic flavoured crisps?!” I replied in wonder, fingers clicking. I’ve never even tasted a G&T in my life, but I had a sudden urge to try it now, and in crisp form. As luck would have it, there’s an Aldi store right next to The Office. I thanked Mhehed and told him I’d check them out and get back to him.

“Have a good day at work tomorrow. Don’t get drunk on Aldi’s crisps. CYL”. He’s so sweet, my twinkle toes, Mhehed.

This morning I forewent my smoke break in order to hunt down the irresponsible crisps. And as I stood forlornly in front of the meager selection of potato snacks at local Aldi. I was wishing I’d just gone for a fag instead.

“Psst.” A short chap with more hair on his chin than on his head approached me from behind. “Are you looking for the Gin & Tonic crisps?” He subtly shifted a frozen meat feast pizza on the top of his basket to reveal three packets of the sought after (and probably soon to be banned) snack.

“Yes! Where can I find them?” Elation, closely followed by the Second Thought: are those the only packets, and could I persuade him to share? “Are those the last ones?”. I noticed his substantial wife nearby clean and jerking boxes of lager into a trolley and decided not to risk a lip tremble.

He didn’t give me his crisps. “I’ll show you,” he said instead. So off we sidled to the center aisle, to a huge wire basket housing ‘Gourmet, Hand-Cooked’ crisps. But the only flavour it offered was ‘Camembert and Caramelised Onion’. They looked nice; I decided to get a packet of those, but they weren’t what I came in for. I rummaged through the top layers, coming up empty. Was I to be thwarted after all?

Again, my helpful stranger decided to assist and delved head first in for me. He eventually surfaced, after much waggling of feet, with an elusive packet of Gin & Tonic crisps clasped in his hand. Success! I thanked him, shook his hand and asked him his name.

“Steve”. Ah, another Thoughtful Man.

Okay, I did have a cigarette before I returned to The Office. But I never take a lunch break anyway.

Once back, I decided to find out if these potentially dangerous crisps really do taste like gin and tonic, and whether they have an intoxicating effect. If these were as harmful as PC McNanny was suggesting they could be in her tweet, I had better canvas some adult opinion. So that I could responsibly take what was left home to my house, containing two impressionable teenage boys, with hollow legs.

I decided to draw up some questions, set out two bowls and put out a plea for help from my Office co-workers…

Crisp challenge

Free food usually grabs their attention 😉

I was fairly certain that cheese and onion (caramelised or not) wouldn’t get anyone drunk, so they would be sampled, too. And a cheese and onion crisp might soak up any alcohol if the first G&T sample proved too potent.

Four questions per bowl were asked;

  1. Like?
  2. Dislike?
  3. Taste exactly like?
  4. Do you feel drunk?

For half and hour or so, my usually quiet side of the Office filled with the noise of crunching, munching and considered opinions. Not only desk jockeys; the workmen renovating our toilets chipped in with their valued opinions also. In all, 29 people on the third floor of the building were surveyed, and spent the rest of the afternoon picking their teeth. The results, below, include 3 more – Thoughtful Man, Lupus and Kitler:

  • 32 people tried the Gin &Tonic (G&T) crisps (30 adults, 2 children)
  • 30 people tried the Camembert & Caramelised Onion (C&CO) crisps (28 adults, 2 children – the veggie declined because they didn’t meet her dietary requirements, and another because he was meeting clients later and didn’t want his breath to smell.)
  • G&T Like: 15
  • G&T Dislike: 11
  • G&T Neither like or dislike: 6
  • C&CO Like: 20
  • C&CO Dislike: 7
  • C&CO Neither like or dislike: 3
  • Tasted like G&T: 32 No (suggestions included:- lime (10), lemon (8), citrus (2) tonic (2), tonic & lime (1), spirit (2), sugar (1), cardboard (1), nothing (2))
  • Tasted like C&CO: 14 Yes and 16 No (suggestions included:- onion (5), cheese (7), Quavers (3), foot (1))
  • Do you feel drunk on G&T?: 32 No
  • Do you feel drunk on C&CO?: 32 No (including two “Mum!”)

Make of it all what you will. It’s what the Experts do 😉
