Can PF Random Thoughts be Split to Help with Server Load?

[Borek]

No, but I am thinking about using my heel.

Gave blood at the Red Cross bus today. No one spoke like a pirate, so it was a bit of a let down, but they did create a red cross around my arm with tape, so that was kind of piraty.

I give up. TL-WN725N v2 won't work with Raspbian and my router using DHCP.

Actually after spending last two days trying to configure it I think I am going to explode. Dongle works out of the box with DHCP under XBMC, my other Pi works without any problems with some older Raspbian, DHCP and TL-WN725N v1, using current Raspbian and TL-WN725N v2 I can see my home wireless with iwlist scan, but I can't connect and get IP from DHCP. No, nil, null, zilch, nada. Whatever.

You need a beer my man.

Oh yes, a fairly common sight here too, but from 20 or 30 feet (are our clams tougher here ?).

Mussels, not clams.

But only the dumber ones do the dropping.
The smart ones hang out on the ground, waiting to swoop onto just-dropped clams.

Yup, same over here, but I once saw a really dumb one dropping a shell several times onto a patch of mud. Maybe it was competing in a bird-brain contest, or starting cargo-cult religion.

I think I'd be worried if a phlebotomist came to me with a needle saying, "Arrrg! Gimmee yer arm, wench!"

That's sad. Cats don't seem to do well in science. (Schrodinger, and all that).

Hm... that one must have been Schrodinger's anti-cat. It died because it wasn't observed.

My wife says she totally supports the idea of me going all the way for a PhD. Even if we have to move and she has to change jobs. She thinks my brain is sexy. Perhaps my PhD thesis will be an attempt to calculate how lucky I am to have her.

 

[Enigman]

Hmmm...Is the sisterhood still active?
Or did they dissolve?

 

[dkotschessaa]

I can't order an odd number of pizzas for math club that favor pepperoni or plain. I always have to split it right down the middle. 2.5 pepperoni and 2.5 plain.

2 pep, 2 plain, 1 sausage and mushroom with light tomato sauce and a sprinkling of oregano, spun three times on the tip of a blessed dowsing rod and kissed by a virgin.

Yes, that's really fun. I also like the very simple Leaning tower illusion.

Lisab and I are the only 2 still very active, ~christina~ comes and goes, MIH pops up for my birthday, and TSU left a long time ago.

 

[Pythagorean]

Because you have at least one ridiculously complicated pizza in every party-sized order. It's blasphemy not to. As an appeal to my own authority, I am a 33rd degree pie spinner of the fifth dimension.

Might need your help someday soon...The 'problem' is more in your line anyway...
(If I my memory serves me right; Wasn't MIH the Barbie mentor?)

Yes, her name came from the talking barbie scandal when the doll said "Math Is Hard".

I just looked around for a good illusions site and found this, it seems pretty cool (106 examples): http://www.michaelbach.de/ot/. Some examples:

• Stepping feet (this one really annoyed me, I had a hard time believing it )
• Motion Aftereffect
• Silencing by Motion
• Spiral Aftereffect (this is really cool, IMO)

LONDON (Reuters) - A U.S. atom bomb nearly exploded in 1961 over North Carolina that would have been 260 times more powerful than the device that devastated Hiroshima, according to a declassified document published in a British newspaper on Friday.
. . . .
But the newly published document said one of the two bombs behaved exactly in the manner of a nuclear weapon in wartime, with its parachute opening and its trigger mechanisms engaged. Only one low-voltage switch prevented a cataclysm.

Read things like that and there's pretty much nothing to say. You're too appalled to speak.

I wonder how the song would have been written?

And hey, babe, the sky's on fire, I'm dying, ain't I?

hmmm... Perhaps there are multiple universes.

ref to the quote, in case you were too lazy too listen to the song...

I know this (iOS7's new display) happened just to annoy me. Well - it really pissed me off.

After a couple of days, I'm still exasperated.

As an appendix to the intricate discussion of ducts, ducks, dukes, dooks, doeks, etc, in another thread ...

What's the opposite of a diphthong? Is it a monophthong?

It might be a monadphthong, or it might just be a phthong or it could be a uniphthong.

 

[jhae2.718]

I think it's time for a new signature.

 

[AlephZero]

or it might just be a phthong or it could be a uniphthong.

I thought a phthong is something you wear if you have a lisphth.

This may be all greek to some people, but "uni" is latin - so I don't buy that one either.

 

[Enigman]

$$\frac{di+phthong}{2+sounds}$$
So etymologically en(a?)phthong or just phthong sounds logical. But by definition diphthong is a combination of two vowels so it should be just $vowel$.
