Recently learned that … þ … is an old letter that is pronounced ‘th’

A bit jarring to see them use the first word … þhat … which would be … 'th’hat

In Canada, especially in the rural parts, it is a ceremony that lasts on average about one hour and takes place from the kitchen table / living room couch to the end of the driveway. And there is a 20% chance that the farewell may be cancelled and the visitor invited to stay for supper or to spend the night, where the ritual will be repeated again the next day.

The dumb part is that the world has gotten to the point of allowing Nazism into our collective conversation again.

Hunger is a normal part of life … I keep trying to remind myself of that

Just because you are hungry, it doesn’t mean that you are starving or dying … sometimes it’s just your dumb greedy biological system wanting to eat everything in sight because it still thinks that you live in the African savanna and there’s no food around.

I grew up poor and as a kid, hunger was just a normal part of life. We weren’t starving, mom and dad gave us enough nutrition every day to be comfortable but not to live in complete luxury where we could eat any time we wanted. I remember wanting snacks during the day and there were none … so you just drank some hot tea to satisfy the craving and then went on with your day. By the time we were teens, we were lean, built and none of my friends were overweight (this was in the 80s and early 90s). It wasn’t until we all had free access to cheap snacks and sugar water that we all started having problems with our weight. I’m middle aged now and I constantly have to battle my urge to want to eat any and everything in sight.

The best part of this comment is that I’m snacking on a tube of pringles as I’m writing this.

User’s always have the option of just not using Windows at all

If your company wants to pay for a computer or system for you to use Windows … by all means, let the company pay for it all

But personally at home, if all you’re going to do is watch Netflix and Youtube videos or read Wikipedia … you can just use any basic Linux OS and do everything with that.

I always love that bit … scientists wondering if the first test would set the entire planet’s atmosphere on fire …

Scientist getting ready to pull the trigger on the first bomb: … if we don’t fuck around … how are we ever gonna find out?

I’d rather vote for these robots instead

Usually when I meet people who say they travelled to Europe … I’ll ask them a million questions about what they did there, what they saw, what they thought about it, the food, the weather, the people … which places did they go? what are your recommendations? what did you like? what did you not like? any weird things that happened? any great things that happened?

It’s usually a source of a ton of information.

Hell of a lot better conversation starter than to ask the person what they’ve done in the small town you’ve both lived in all your lives and know every single detail about.

Hours and hours of spare time working as an engineer and endless access to a ship’s computer, so much data storage, devices, holo programs, simulators and digital systems … inevitably he’s going to end up doing some freaky stuff.

Every episode just immediately jumps into whatever world that O’Brien created in the simulations where he keeps every buffer clone trapped forever … sometimes it’s on DS9, sometimes on the Enterprise, sometimes on a Borg ship, sometimes in 19th century Louisiana, sometimes 23th century California, sometimes ancient Rome, sometimes on Kronos, sometimes on an ice moon, sometimes just free floating in empty space

Trump isn’t the idiot here

FIFA, the US news media, the US government (all of them), US professionals, the American public, generally the world (those closer to the US more so than the others) are all idiots for looking at all this and doing either as little as possible or nothing about it all.

Any other political leader had done this and they would have been laughed out of office.

Trump does it and we all just stand around and accept it as another normal day in the US.

I always love these guys … if what you are doing is morally acceptable and you truly believe in everything you are doing and think that it is patriotic, honourable and just … then you should never have the need to mask your identity, drive around in unmarked cars or go wandering around making arrests without a warrant or documentation.

Good to see Americans standing up to this stupidity … any respect I have for America is embodied in what these neighbourhood people did … they are more American than any political office holder in the US.

lol … sounds a lot like the evangelical preacher with the million dollar private jet who asked his parishers to give more money to buy a second jet because it would save more people

(I remembered this story from a few years ago and thought it was ‘a second jet’ … I was wrong … the preacher was asking for donations to buy his FOURTH JET!!!)

Trump isn’t running a country … he’s an evangelical preacher leading a ministry called the United States

These are places that distribute food as nutrition … they dispense edible product that momentarily provide a flavour sensation to your mouth and tongue.
