Is it time for Random Thoughts - Part 4?

In summary: No, I'm not going to finish that.Some guy tried to sell me eh.. recreational tools today while I was getting groceries.I guess setting up a trashy website was too costly for him, so he just sold them in the frozen foods section at walmart.

Here we go, the latest science has proven that bots can't see rabbits. If anyone can see a rabbit in the video they are not a bot.



If you see a rabbit punch a quail you may have a problem.

Edit: If you see a second rabbit appear call your doctor immediately.

Oh my god! I love those two little rabbits! They so cute. Please let me love you little bunnies. :L

Hehe. Nope, but I cannot have a pet because of my apartment's policies. And at my parent's home I cannot have one either because of my parent's policies. :s

So I want to graduate and then get a job and then get a home and then get a bunny... Among other things I want.

EDIT: A home with no policies about bunnies.

Old Student is laughing, but I almost feel like crying. I've had my Lucy (Lucifer T. Cat) for 14 years, ever since she was 3, and I can't bear to think of living without her. I love her more than just about any human that I know, and honestly would kill anyone who hurt her. She will probably outlive me, and I'm glad for that. She's accommodated in my will. Her predecessor Dingbat McBeth died almost exactly on his 20th birthday, and I loved him just as much. I've had only one rabbit, a baby bush-bunny that I found in my hedgerow a little over 40 years ago. His nest had been ploughed up, and his parents were nowhere to be found. It's the only pet that I've ever had who committed suicide. Since it was wild, I couldn't just let it run free in the house, so I placed it in a toque, set on a thick towel inside the washing machine, and left some cat kibble with it. (That was the old upright wringer-type.) The next morning, I found him dead on the floor. Despite his diminutive size, he had managed to leap the 60cm or so straight up to escape the washer drum and then fell on his head on top of a Coke bottle in a case on the floor. :oldcry:

I agree, because I sometimes get that same message and I'm on a MacBook Pro running Safari through Mavericks OS. A server is probably the only thing we have in common.

Agreed! She's a mere child by my standards, and nearly enough to make me watch another Bond movie. I did watch the first 2 Craig ones after they came on TV, but the last that I'd seen before that was "Licence To Kill". I just don't care about them any more.

Maths is beautiful
Google this :

exp(-((x-4)^2+(y-4)^2)^2/1000) + exp(-((x+4)^2+(y+4)^2)^2/1000) + 0.1exp(-((x+4)^2+(y+4)^2)^2)+0.1exp(-((x -4)^2+(y- 4)^2)^2)

My vacuum cleaner didn't suck, which sucked.

I investigated and found a hose was compacted with dust. Not sure how that happens. Maybe it builds up on the walls of the hose, and then suddenly comes off, clogging it up?

There was a comment going around a while back that the only way Microsoft could come out with something that did not suck was if they manufactured vacuum cleaners.

Why is it so many coffee shops use this dark, heavy décor, even in winter? I suspect they believe the dark layout looks somehow more sophisticated, while bright colors look childish. Still, I love the few places with the bright colors, like Dunkin Donuts, specially during the dark days of winter, when is dark out at 4:30 p.m. On this note, I realized my impression of the quality of a neighborhood is positively correlated with the number of coffee shops and general hang out places. Maybe there is a correlation between the overall wealth of a neighborhood and the number of hang out places.

It's all about the fuel costs. Dark absorbs sunlight, and thus less heating is required. :approve:

It depends on the specific lighting, but the coffee shops I know that are dark have little islands of intimacy. This is nice if you're in the mood for your own little island. Bright shops make you aware of everyone in the whole place as more of a group.

Zoob, I know that you're getting up there in years, but really... forgetting to respond to the thing that you quoted? Does your nurse know that you're at the computer?

A , thanks, one mystery down, 1,000,000 more to go. How about this one : how does Jamba Juice do business in winter? Who buys an iced fruit drink when it is 25 degrees and windy outside? Just like I would not want to buy potato chips and sugary hot chocolate in the middle of Summer.

I've never heard of Jamba Juice. Going by the description, though, it's perfectly logical. It's a medical fact that drinking something cold warms you, the same way that a nice cup of tea will cool you in summer. In both cases, the influx of a positive or negative thermal component tricks your hypothalamus into thinking that you're either colder or warmer than you really are and puts your biological countermeasures into overdrive.

Ahhhh!
Too much science.

ps. I just got angry at my cats, because, IMHO, they were eating their food too quickly. So I scolded them, in a British accent.

Now that's just animal cruelty. I hope that someone reports you to the RSPCA. (Oh, wait a second now... there's some sort of discontinuity here... hmmmm... :oldconfused:)

That's why all pets should be neutered. It's better to be hissed at than pissed at.
