What's on your mind now?

That was the only keyboard face makeup I could find.

I actually thought I saw the m1469 the other day.  Live in person, walking across the street. 

Not her though.  I was thinking it would be funny to say and keep walking along.

Cannibalism?

And what's "Chunk Style"? The next thing after gangham?

I am a piano teacher. And all day i listen Rachmaninoff music, I was just wondering, How Rachmaninoff make such a beautiful music, harmony within composition??!!

For your mind...

[Bob]

That was unexpected.  Is that an older-style flatscreen?








*Bob noticed the price tag on the second viewing.*  She can't return that now.

[m1469]

You've posted this before.

[Bob]

You probably missed the moonwalking bear in the gif though.  Even if you view it again... You'll still miss the moonwalking bear. 

Everyone's wondering what model flatscreen tv that is.

I thought it was a video?

That's an odd way to say thank you.

[j_menz]

That's an odd way to say thank you.

But not an odd way to say something else. 

[Bob]

But I'm not buying it.

Dammit, you win.


Dammit I got the eye rolls too. Hate you j.

Why people can't accept no as a response when they offer me food.  A lady offered me x-food today.  I said I didn't want any.  She was getting ready to argue with me, like she would have forced me to take some food.  "But I made these myself!" she says.  Bob, thinking, "So what?  I don't want any."   I told her there was a family health issue and she backed off.  Thinking about it now... If I hadn't said that?  Then what?  She would have forced me to take some food? 

[j_menz]

It's rather unpatriotic of you. I thought eating was America's national pastime.

[Bob]

That's actually part of it.  I don't want extra calories.  Or diabetes 20+ years from now.

This would have been inappropriate but I did think, "What?  You want me to take one, thank you, and then throw it out later?"  That probably would have been fine.  I get sick of the social norm garbage like that.  I have actually done that before.  Then it's wasting food and I feel guilty about it.  But I never wanted it in the first place.

Superman 3, the 1983 movie.  Decades later...

Not once have a I ever seen a missile on a truck travelling down any highway or interstate.  Not once.   (esp. one all prepped up to fire, requiring only an arming code)



I therefore conclude that was completely made up for that movie.  


I does make me wonder how much stuff is being moved around out there I'm not aware of.  There's a lot out there.  They're not going to make it that obvious, but they would have to move things at some point.  I would think.

I used to know someone who worked in bomb transportation/disposal. He said weapons were often transported along public roads. I believe the same goes for nuclear waste.

Interesting.  The Superman movies from that time are kind of stupid simple, but that's part of the charm too I think. 

I have seen groups of green military vehicles now and then.  But that was more around the time of the Gulf War (or whatever they called it).

[Bob]

My music showed up.  Used music though, but it was pretty cheap.  It's got someone's name written in.  Otherwise it's completely clean.  I wonder though, based off the old-fashioned sounding name.... Why's the music available?  I'm thinking the person probably died.  So I've got a dead person's piece of music.

And the other thought was, how much music do people have in a collection that they never, ever, ever play?  This score I got is completely clean.  Basically new, except for the name written on it.  And them am I doing that?  Collecting things but never, ever, ever actually using it or doing anything at all with it.

[outin]

In my case a lot! But I have the illusions that I will be playing from all of them one day...after I am retired. But if I end up dead before that, someone can get a lot of used but very clean scores...

Black holes.  Suppose to swallow everything, right?  Then why do they expel gas/energy/whatever too at some point?  Why doesn't that stuff get pulled back in?  Fine, explode, but then shouldn't that jetted out stuff get pulled back in?

The black hole expels nothing, however the stuff falling in forms an accretion disc outside the event horizon, where the friction creates a lot of energy, not all of which is captured by the black hole. That energy is given out as, inter alia, light.

It seems black holes may not agree to our conventional theories after all:

Because the information is escaping the hole, we just need to listen...

[j_menz]

Because the information is escaping the hole, we just need to listen...

But because of quantum interference, the information is garbled. Listening is not enough.

Or it just makes the voices in his head clearer.

I think I am beyond the weight bearing limits of my existing ones.

Get good shocks with stiffer wheels.

I'm impressed with myself.  Some things are finally paying off a bit.  I have more control.  I think.

Less impressed now.  Ouch, ouch, ouch.

It's getting intolerable here... Yesterday it was over 30C which is my definition for h***... not looking much better today

[Bob]

I'm wondering who's brilliant idea it was to put oil down on the asphalt on an inclined area with a turn.  That would be the spot I discovered while travelling over it for a bit on my bike.  "Hm.  Is that oil on the gr....aghh!!!...f-f-f-f-f-f-f--f!!!!" thought Bob.  I ended skidding over sideways, using the side of my body and hands like Flintstone brakes.  Fortunately there was oil on the ground so my hands and arms didn't get Swiss cheesed as much as I expected.  I wouldn't care so much now, except my shoulder hurts. Still works, but it banged on the way down.  Tomorrow I'm going to be blue and blue and probably sore from that.  *Bob think it may have looked kind of cool though, except no one was around.* 


That and I think I may have seen a Pianostreet person today.  One that was looking for.  I know I've crossed paths with some people here a few times.  This was suddenly being face to face with the person.  It did dawn on me it might be 'so and so' from here, but I didn't say anything. I'm still thinking it would be amusing to call out to them by their PS name and then keep going on my way.  That would give away my secret identity though.

For your health, right? 

[Bob]

I'll just avoid that place again.  There are other hills around here that don't have a giant oil slick on them.  If I approached it from the other direction it would have been obvious the way the light was hitting it.  The cut spots seem fine.  I just can't move my right arm or lift with it completely normally.  Something got bumped.  Tomorrow morning... ugh.

I had a post I was thinking about making just before that happened....

[goldentone]

[Bob]

Also interesting...  If you want to remove hair, try sliding across oil-covered asphalt. 

I just noticed the spot where I slid are now hairless.  A few nicks and nice scratches, but otherwise hairless.


This probably wouldn't work for removing hair from any body part.
