    Waste of time mate, never happened, I think everyone's already lost the will to live - lol

    Pretty much... every day... I came here yesterday to make an April Fool's post and saw the ShareCG is closing post and lost my even slight desire to make light of the absurdities we face...

    Sorry, missed your reply!

    You can bet I'll find things to keep me occupied, like midnight walks under the stars in the wilderness with a bit of luck!  That said, having a van big enough to take-up such a hobby as a Luthier would be very nice and would even work well for such a lifestyle!  You could chop and sand all night long and not bother anyone!

    @McGyver
    That's secretly what I was hinting at.  I'm hoping the whole AI thing will soon prove to be so bad that people will wake-up before it's too late!

    Complaint: Youngest kiddo decided bedtime was right about when my morning eye exam was scheduled. Also, my car battery decided to nope out in the parking lot of my second appointment, because getting a mammogram isn't enough fun without not being able to leave. So now he's been asleep five hours, and I still have to get my glasses picked and ordered. And also it's been raining cold and hard all day.

    non-complaint: At least I got kiddo to my foks' place before he zonked. And my battery died in a safe part of town. And Dad could come give me a jump.  And I got to listen to rain on the car. And the roads are wet and not icy. And I have coffee. And (after some logistics) a new car battery.
     

    I can sleep when I'm dead.

    A ponderable:

    Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
    How I wonder what you are.

    ...

    I wonder why we still wonder. When we know what a star is. It's a super massive nuclear bomb that goes off for billions of years until it has no more Hydrogen to smash together and form Helium, at which point it then blows up in such a stupendous explosion that it distorts the fabric of space and time and makes new elements of the sort that make all of us. Indicating that we are made from the ashes of dead stars.

    Try getting that into a nursery school song. Would be a feat worthy of significant ponderation.

    Regards,

    Richard

     

    Well here's a start:

    Hickory dickory dock,

    Big stars fused all their stock.

    The stars went boom,

    And became the womb,

    Of different breeds of rock. 

     

    Hickory dickory dock,

    Bigger booms caused such a shock,

    That space itself was dangerously bent,

    And left a hole where time was rent,

    And makes useless any form of clock.

     

    Hickory dickory dock,

    Smaller stars die within a flimsy frock,

    Outer skins no longer grasped,

    Shed as their cores exhaustedly gasped,

    Whithering as their fires balk.

     

    Hickory dickory dock,

    The smallest stars evolution a boring stagnant lock,

    Their tiny fires go out, hot glowing coals forever red, 

    Cooling and cooling yet never quite completely dead.

    Tho tiny, their numbers make the biggest bloc.

     

    Hickory dickory dock,

    Exploding stars that made new rock,

    Gave their lives so that we could be.

    'Tis the greatest wonder in this Universe you see.

    Hickory dickory dock.

    Just curious, is this the one you meant?

    I make my own, usually without the chese topping, but it looks tasty.

  • COMIXIANTCOMIXIANT Posts: 260

    I worded that wrongly but you still gave me what I was getting at.  It was indeed the cheese I was curious about since you never mentioned using cheese.  Will pick one up on Saturday when I go shopping cause I'm really curious about it.  They totally messed-up on the photograph and nutrition information though.  I thought it was a bit ridiculous, but actually they're showing the photo and nutrition info for the 800G version, and on the 800G version they're showing the photo and nutrition info for the 400G version.

    Anyway, will definitely give it a try (even if it is two to three times the price I normally pay for a ready meal).

    Complaint: Horrible storms today and rest of week, complete with tornado watches & flash flood warnings. Had one with rain & wind that looked like tropical storm force. Our 2 dogs are VERY unhappy. They are crowded on bed with us & preventing me from pulling up covers.

    Non-complaint: Husband got us a pool membership.

    ...I keep telling the lotto ticket machine to do that but it just refuses to listen.

    It occasionally teases me with a 4$ prize but that won't even pay for a USB port on the motherboard I need.

    A $4 prize!surprise  How do you Pacific-ers rate?  NY State throws us a bone with an infrequent $1 win, just enough to buy another try.  I even use the rare and magic US $1 "golden" coin to buy my lotto tickets.  Doesn't seem to help though.indecision

    Weather Report:  40s - 50s & rain all yesterday afternoon and through the night.  Rain this evening but mid-50s and cloudy tomorrow.

    Non-complaint:  Running out of "Vera" and "Poirot" episodes, so I've gone back to watching "Midsomer Murders" via BritBox.  It's been so many years since I've watched them that I've forgotten many of the early ones.  I'd forgotten how much I liked the very first inspector (played by John Nettles), an interesting cop personality.yes

    John Nettles was pretty good as Bergerac too. And I loved the episode of the spoof 'Detectives' series where the incompetent detectives Briggs and Louis (comedian Jasper Carrot and serious Actor Robert Powel from 'Jesus Christ, Superstar') get sent to Jersey to investigate a horse racing world crime. After numerous self created problems and accidentally solving the crime, they end up leaving a watch with a huge alarm inside a horse...

    I'm slowly watching the final season of  Bosch: Legacy!  Great show!  Great intro music!  Original Bosch was great, so I was glad when they brought it back as Bosch: Legacy.  The legacy is his daughter, who is now a police detective.  (they call that a legacy officer, at least the department in the show does)

    Apparently thinking of having. Baked potato isn't enough to bake the potato.  I have to put it in the oven first and also turn on the oven.

    And then you have to take it out of the oven after it is done but before it burns. And of  course turn off the oven.

     Checked if oven is on or off, and it is off.

    I was playing a game called RuneScape 3.  I was in Catherby and some NPC was yelling out Bananas from Karamja.  Why I found that annoying is not that Karamja does not have bananas, which they do.  The issue I have is there is no where to buy bananas at Catherby.  There is a fruit tree garden that can grow bananas but bananas are not trees.  Why yell out about bananas from Karamja when they are not available where that NPC is.

    Another complaint is that my bluetooth keyboard layout is not the same as what my iPad thinks it is.  Where my keyboard shows a y, the output becomes a Z and the other way around too. I can not seem to be able to figure out where the punctuation is as those keys are not the same as what is printed on the keys.  I wonder if I can make my computer have this confusion too.

  • TSasha SmithTSasha Smith Posts: 27,238

    I had a dream last night where I was trying to find out the answer of the question that was about what state begins with the letter N and is landbound but is not North Dakota. I thought it could be Navada but fuzzy memory of the map in the dream made me think of something more interior of the states which probably would make it not be Navada.  Then I just looked it up and it was Nebraska which fit the vague memories of that dream question.

     ..we have a 4x multiplier for an extra 1$. It affects the parimutuel 4 of 6 and 5 of 6 matches but not the 6 of 6 jackpot (would be nice though).  I've actually hit on a several of the 4 of 6 prizes before which are be between 120$ and 200$ .

    If you are sure you're up to date on all the forums and sale notifications, you can click on the gear on the upper right in the blue line that says Daz 3D Forms, and can delete the notifications.  Then it will start counting from 1 again.

    I have a similar problem with coffee.

    The universe is a cruel place where you need to have already consumed the coffee in order to have enough focus to actually make the coffee you need.

    I find my spell checker gets set to American when on this site, and English on every other site. Very odd.
