    Smart is not allowed in group homes.  Only stupid is.

    Can my iPad be smart enough to know when I sleep if it next to me?

    Why is smart a bad thing?  I know someone who acts like smart is a bad thing.

    I hate 'smart' electronics because they try to be helpful by anticipating what you are doing and get it wrong most of the time.

    One of my favorite comments when I hear people complain about their devices.  "The trouble with smart machines is that one has to be smarter than the machine to outwit it." indecision

    In this country the Utility Companies who suppy Gas and Electricity are trying to persuade the consumers to have smart meters installed. I keep telling my Power supplier that I not only do not want any smart meters for various reasons,  I am also not certain how feasible they would be in the sort of property in which I live.  I live in a Stone built cottage whiich is around 160-170 years old. The main walls are approx 2 feet thick. My electricity meter is fastened to one of the front main walls,  my gas meter stands just in front of another part of the main front wall, just above ground level, as the gas piping enters the house from underground. I have radio controlled clocks.  When It is time for the time change in spring and Autmn I have to insure that that my clocks are directly in line with a window other wise they will not change.   Can you understand why doubt the Efficacy of their so called "smart" meters?

    It probably cost them more in producing and sending all the rubbish literature and letters telling me that have made an appointemnt for the meter to be fitted for me that it costs to make the wertched thing.  At least I saved them the cost of sending soemone to fit it by declining. cheeky

    I was just thinking about emotions.  I was thinking that I can feel ticked off if I want to.  I think that is true.  Nobody can actually control how I feel.  Nobody can make me angry without my permission. Nobody can make me love them and on the same line of thought nobody can make me hate them.  Their actions might frustrate me by the way of me trying to make sense of it, but they themselves cannot change my emotions.  They cannot make me angry unless I allow them to anger me.  Just because someone calls me a liar does not make me a liar.  Being called a liar would offend me only if I want it to because on some level I care what that person thinks.  Since that person has assumed I am a liar too many times in the past, I do not know why anymore that I give a paah-tookah about what they think.  I think I made up that phrase but still do not know how to spell it.

    Basically My emotions are my emotions.  It might not be easy but only I can control my emotions.  Once I get that through my thick skull the better I will be.  Also in return I cannot control anyone else's emotions either.

    I noticed this thread isn't as active as the stupid thread.

    I just saw this thread and my brain immediately went to:

    The I Must Be Specific Measureable Achievable Relevant and Time-Limited Thread

    Today I'm not so sure I feel Achievable, but I'm doing my best.

  • NylonGirlNylonGirl Posts: 2,285

    So I was… driving my car. And my brother’s son (whom I often refer to as my nephew) was in the car with me. He didask me how I calculate percentages. I think he was asking how my brain works for somewhat complex mathematics. The problem he offered was something like, “calculate 13 percent of 165”. I went through my process of trying to multiply 165 by 10, and 165 by 3, and breaking those two problems down into smaller problems and shifting decimal points while trying to maintain all of these items in the stack of my brain’s computer. I produced the correct result. He said it was the same process he used. I don’t know if it makes us smart, but we can do math.

    Now what I can’t do is prove I’m not a bot.

  • VIArtsVIArts Posts: 1,533

    I think of bots as people who had their brains transferred to metallic ski suits for some reason. They talk funny and  like to use screws as body piercings for some reason a smart person like me cannot fathom. It’s easy to prove you’re not a bot but it usually requires a DAZ Studio render using G9 male or female. The only reason it’s bar d to prove is because most sites only let you prove it with a checkbox next to “I ain’t no slobberin’ bot!” or something along those lines.  Can’t remember. 

    Anyway, yhis proves how smart me is, I think.
