Things in my brain...

In reply to RX Reven':

Different kinds of nerd stuff.

Pi, the table of elements, and the golden ratio are nothing to me. I love astronomy and absorb anything from Segan, Tyson, and Nye.

I was raised on the great Stars, both Trek and Wars. I grew up to hope that Star Trek was the future in store for humanity. As much as I love SW, the EU and any possibility of Boba Fett being anything more than an overrated bitch who died like a punk is too much. I love a good space opera, but a near future, hard science movie does nothing for me.

I'm too antisocial to even tabletop RP. I played WoW as solo as possible. Skyrim is gaming heaven to me.

Nope, by definition, a combination lock would open regardless of the order the numbers were presented in. For example, if 32-08-19 worked, so would 19-08-32, etc. Since both the numbers and their ordering are required, it’s a permutation lock…dang nabbit.

All I know is tomorow is pi day. I would prefer it was pie day but hay what do I know.

I used to think pi day was a big deal until my second daughter was born…..on November 23rd….1123…the Fibonacci sequence…Score!!!

I wasn't familiar with this. It seems like kind of a dumb sequence.

I’ll just leave this here… Uncanny Examples of the Golden Ratio And if nature isn’t your bag, great works dating back 1,000’s of years (Pantheon, etc.) have also relied on that dumb sequence to produce some pretty dandy stuff.

The comments section made me laugh.

We'll be going on 13 years next month. I feel you on the purses, she still classifies cars by color. I'll say look at that old chevy, she'll say the red (late model honda) or the black (57 chevy)

I win!

I miss my Grandpa. KyAllroad summer trip plan is making my allergies act up.

Met Trump supporting Chemical Engineer on St Paddy's day. Got into a discussion (not an argument) about how the rhetoric doesn't add up to what he wants. Getting frustrated he says "Leave them alone for 6 months and see how great it used to be!" (I ignored all the things that weren't great in the old days and focused on his focus)

I said, "You spend money on what is important to you, right?" "Well yeah" "Then why are they cutting education funding and saying they are for education? Why are they cutting health care spending and say they are for health care? Why are they saying they for infrastructure jobs and not doing anything about infrastructure jobs? What are they spending money on? Stopping immigrants and defense contractors. So rhetoric aside, what do you think their priorities are?"

I have seen people who have had negative epiphanies about things they believed. This is one of those times.

I finished with, "I will let you get back to your friends, good chatting with you and Happy St Paddy's Day. Have a safe trip home."

He left about 10 minutes later with the same look on his face.

Now what is in my brain...How can an obviously intelligent human being be so easily fooled by rhetoric? Maybe this is why.

Yesterday I wish my wife Happy Anniversary!

Our Anniversary isn't for 2 months. Starts with M and the right day and # of years so close enough.

I told her I'm not early, I'm just prepared.

She laughed.

Cobbler is just a more honest pie. The moment you plunge a fork into pie it breaks apart and becomes cobbler. You were never a pie, you were just cobbler all along! Why did I trust you?

Schrodinger's Pie?

Why does our culture confuse physical aggression with strength? The strongest people I know aren't physically aggressive. You would be dead if they were.
