Thinker, amateur philosopher, a good day has at least 1 idea rolling around in my head. And a devout atheist, formerly an agnostic, formerly but still formally a Roman Catholic by birth. Please excommunicate me.

Disappearance of Nancy Guthrie - Wikipedia

Brain teaser in observance of PI day.

PI is the ratio of the diameter and the circumference of a circle both fixed and measurable.

Then how can PI be an irrational and transcendental number, which means it cannot be expressed as a simple fraction, and its decimal representation never ends?

Someone asked me a question that I can't answer.

They said there was wording in this bill saying you must have your birth certificate when you were born.

His question was, what about adopted people? They probably don't have access to that original bc, even if it still exists.

Once I left my flip phone in my pocket, wife sent the pants thru the wash and dryer.

And it survived.

Sometimes you get lucky.

For those who think it's safe to come to the US to see a soccer game they could watch on TV or streaming.

You are some special stupid.

He'll fall off before the machinery dumps tha bin.

The fuss will be you'll have to do it again.

And in our neighborhood, the crows will be interested.

For like 20 years I've used my mouse to posotion the cursor for a past with my right hand and with my left hand, now by reflex, Ctrl-V to paste.

Instead of a pic being pasted, I get this.

Someone decide to change behavior for productivity.

WRONG!

Last nite, computer had a pending update

I left it on, knowing I had a fan suffering from stiction

I expected the update to leave it run

This morning, I found it shutdown and it wouldn't boot because the fan wouldn't start.

Replaced fan before having coffee.

Damn, at least I had the fan on hand

Think of healthcare, taxes, laws, economy, politics, climate and so on as 'systems'.

Now, toss a pin or nail in.

Think of a balloon as a system to contain air.

tRump said something like this.

Higher oil prices is good for us, we're making more money.

Ok I'm doing that by memory.

Anyone here making more money?

They regularily switch suppliers and then the batter gets heavier and the fish goes down. It's like a 4-6 month cycle here,

Watch for the ratio of batter to fish to increase.

We've bee seeing this for a couple of years.

A month ago, I picked apart a couple of those and the batter/breading was more than 50% of the serving.

We now have a rule, unbreaded fish, and we will add what we need.

Years later, this boy caught himself a Morning Dove, didn't kill it but quietly brought in the house and got on the couch next to my wife.

So I walk in, and he is the same color as the dove, and I finally figure out he's got a bird in his mouth.

I say drop it, thinking he killed it.

Spent 4hrs ,,

It just reminded me of when we took our 6mo Schnauzer on his first walk in the woods.

They are natural mousers.

A field mouse ran across his path and before we could react, he downed it.

An hour later he hacked it up.

He figured out, chew your food, never hacked them up again.
