Random Thoughts Part 5: Time to Split Again

[Silicon Waffle]

They finally did it eh? Pft, I'm not even going to comment.

I was excited after hearing it on the TV as I thought I would be having more open chances to choose what enslaving system I would work for as well as which noble slave I could later become.
I certainly expect my government to level up the country's living standard higher enough such that people will have better better lives while we can still keep our investors.

You are funny, I'll give you that. I couldn't have expressed it better.

You are ready. I hereby bestow you, Silicon Waffle, with the technique that has been passed down for generations:

Internet Secret Technique: Sarcasm!

You are now a fully fledged sarcastic warrior like me. I'm proud of you and I know this isn't even your final form. In time, with practice, you will learn other Internet Secret Techniques like Heavenly Sarcasm, Godly Sarcasm, and so on. Make good use of it.

Don't know if I said it already, but I'm proud of you. *tears* They grow so fast.

TTIP, TTP... I really don't want to be negativistic, but somehow I don't believe that politicians want the best for us. I don't want to bring any conspiracies here because I'm not that type of person. But I have no bright visions for near future of the planet as far as normal people are concerned. This will only be good for those who are already rich.
I have no facts to support this claim. These are only my subjective feelings. Will not argue with anyone who claims the opposite.

We have the same idiom. However, without "not". Let the cat out of the bag. This let's me conclude that it is pretty old. It means to reveal your intentions, sometimes bad ones. Who let the cat out the bag cannot pretend anymore to have a rabbit, i.e. food in it.

We've got "don't buy cat in the bag". That means don't buy something if you are not sure about the quality or don't let someone fool you.

Yes, we have this one, too. I guess all these idioms date back to the Middle Ages.

And we also have Es ist noch kein Meister von Himmel gefallen. I've learned that one on Duolingo :-)

Oh how I hoped that would have been 'Es ist noch kein Braumeister von Himmel gefallen'

LOL! Tell me where you live and I'll take my private helicopter and I could make it happen for you :-) just don't forget to wear a helmet.

 

[Ibix]

Hehe. I'll take the story anytime.

I don't think I've ever posted on the wrong thread, I must say. I'll probably do it later this evening now I've said it, of course.

I did use to hang out with a bunch of people on an IRC channel. Four of us lived in the same neighbourhood and we went out together one evening. Afterwards, we went back to one guy's house and logged on to the IRC channel - four sessions on one computer, each one logged in as one of us. A few alcoholic beverages may have been consumed, and we kept forgetting which window was logged in as who. We were all well known on the channel and all had quite distinct and recognisable "styles", but user and user name were usually not the same. And we were frequently forgetting to change window, so a comment in one style would be answered in another style by the same user name, which didn't match either style. I gather it was very strange for the others on the channel until we explained what was going on.

You can me the latter and tell Psinter the former.

You're the one with the binoculars...

That sounds like a local adaptation of the saying to buy a pig in a poke.

That must have been epic.

That's interesting, how European languages share similar sayings even when they are from different language groups.
BTW it's a nice site, will use it to enrich my vocab :-)

So I wondered if I could probably make hot chocolate in a coffee maker. I'm about to use a coffee maker to make hot chocolate. I'll tell you guys if it works.

 

[Silicon Waffle]

Wait up! You can't because the chocolate will not melt completely. You can use a microwave then though.

Too late, I logged out too fast. I did it and it didn't work. The result was an aqueous solution that tasted like coffee . Even after adding milk and sugar. Looks like the taste of coffee is impregnated in the coffee maker. I don't like coffee.

On another random thought: I'm a sweets person and I've yet to see a coffee that tastes sweet.

 

[fresh_42]

And now everyone after is damned to say: "This coffee tastes like chocolate. I don't like chocolate."

You can still use it as toppings for cakes, cookies, ice-creams or make your own Mocha (chocolate coffee - my favorite) or use it with milk as a shake or with other smoothies for kids around.

Someone started a Fred: "Interested in AI"
Nobody nowadays seems to be concerned about NI anymore.

PF already affects my behaviour. I cannot read "same time" or similar anymore without getting an allergic reaction.

 

[Ibix]

"same time"

In which frame?

 

[Ibix]

Sorry - instinct.

I'm on my way to Nobel Prize
I managed to make the papers in my room reproduce/clone on their own, without any added source of energy or material!
I make a large cleaning 3-4x a year and each time I am able to throw away a bag of papers and other redundant "stuff. After doing so, my room is nice and organized. In 3 months time, the papers have reproduced again! Could antibiotics work? But they are not technically living...or are they? Do they want to suffocate me?

 

[Psinter]

After doing so, my room is nice and organized.

Funny enough the kid of my cousin (which is 4 years old... I think, I don't know) entered my room and asked me: "How can you sleep with all this mess in your room?" I did not know what to say so I replied: "You see, I sleep in the bed, not in the floor or room tables... And there is no mess in the bed. Makes sense?" But I don't think she's buying it guys. She is very suspicious of me and thinks something is not quite right with my answer. Plus she called me a kid. Although I must admit the following sometimes happens with the laundry:

Spoiler: Nice try laundry

Do they want to suffocate me?

Entropy? Yeah. Albeit very slowly.

Could antibiotics work?

 

[1oldman2]

Yes, we have this one, too. I guess all these idioms date back to the Middle Ages.

Seems it was possible that while buying a piglet (packaged in a bag of course) at ye old village market it was a scam to substitute a cat for the piglet. at least that's one of many explanations I came across while researching my post

February 14 coming soon! 8 days and counting!

Although I must admit the following sometimes happens with the laundry:haha, she's a smart girl! You'd better come up with a more reasonable explanation. Maybe you are doing a research on entropy and you're trying to create one spot of order in a large area of chaos. Than show her one of your thick Physics textbooks to leave her speechless. That could work for a while...[/SPOILER]
