Giving “Elrond Hubbard - Elven Scientologist” an upvote just for the great userid.
It’s so great that they knock you out now. The up-all-night-on-the-toilet is no fun, but so it goes. (ahem..old fart reminising now..) My first colonoscopy, in 1988, was just a doctor with one of those wiggly thingies, some vaseline, and a nurse. Totally awake and felt like I had been punched in the gut repeatedly,…
To be perfectly clear: The asteroid is not currently barreling toward Earth. but its path could bring it close enough one day that NASA will want to keep tabs on it.
“Always-online requirements” is a dead horse. Move on.
The end of the article cuts off Mr. Mubeen’s link to his book so here it is: Mathematical Intelligence: A Story of Human Superiority Over Machines. Very interesting. I have never understood hyperbolic math so I think I will try again. I love these types of articles. (Reminds me a lot of Youtuber 3Blue1Brown who is…
“with a higher quantity of cookies per box.”
Gee. If there were only somewhere with information that could have predicted the Sun’s 11-year cycle ... (Like maybe any decent physicist? idk)
I absolutely missed that the actor playing the role of Humphrey was Henry Cavill. Not only has he gained quite a bit of muscle (or had them de-emphasized) but this may be the first and maybe only scene in a film where he has a semi-gay role (where he smiled to DeNiro in the near final scene). [Edit: Wouldn’t hurt for…
Interesting. I have gout but I started being allergic to fish, shellfish in particular, in my early 30's (around 30 years ago) so haven’t even been around shellfish since then. Beer is my super-power, but I only drink 1-2 a night and only on the weekend. But I do like the strong brown ales and stouts. All I can say is…
I am wondering if there is any connection between gout and lower back disc issues. I have both. Been treated for gout (2 very painful episodes in my left ankle) and have 2 sets of discs fused along with one other herniated disc (L5) which produced severe pain in my right ankle & lower calf area. The reason I ask is…
Heck. Wegmans has been the DC/Fairfax/Chantilly area for years! Now we have another in Centreville. Buy a car, man, buy a car!
In Chrome, you can mute the site. Right Click and then click on Mute. I have never heard the audio to which you are referring. (I also use AdBlock and uBlock with all the sites here whitelisted.) No audio. Enjoy!
Flavor! What a concept. How about everybody drink what they want any ole time of the year? And I prefer beers with flavor. These days you have to drink something with over 7% ABV to get any flavor. Why is that? Years ago, I had to work for a while in Utah, where much to my surprise, in Salt Lake City, breweries like…
I know of a McDonald’s where the ice cream machine always work. And I ain’t telling where it is. Mwa-ha-ha!
Huh! Didn’t realize Joe Buck has in for Philly. Well, now I know he has at least 1 redeeming quality. (Ha! Unrepentent Nats fan here.)
And works fine on Chrome on a Windows 10 pc, although I do have 2 Ad Blockers going (with this site whitelisted). I also mute the site (well, I mute ALL sites.)
In Chrome, at least, you can right click on the tab and click on “Mute Site”. Do the same to unmute it. (I also have AdBlockPlus and uBlock, so am not sure if they figure in here, too. And, Yes, I have whitelisted all off the Kinja sites, including this one, although jalopnik still complains sometimes. Haven’t figured…
The book “1984" assumed it would our governments that would take over control of information (and it has in police states like China, I think, and perhaps Russia). We never thought it would be the businesses that would lead the information-controllers of the 20th Century. As long as you play the game, you have to…
Ever have to drive through a lane with what looks like a long bar, about a foot off the ground, on either side of the line, with a (usually white) van parked on the roadside? Those things are reading your license plates (or the van is, perhaps) or something like that. (That’s what I hear and I could be absolutely…
