rattbagge replied to Could you think of a question that it would take a classical computer years to find the correct solution?:
One immediately thinks of 'The Last Question'. It took even Multivac millennia to come up with the answer didn't it? The answer to 'can entropy be reversed'. If we happen to be living in the post-Multivac era (and how else could we possibly know of it?) t... more

rattbagge replied to When you hear of National Guard being called up to work healthcare facilities, what do you think they are doing?:
Couldn't agree more Walt.

rattbagge replied to Where are we...exactly?:
- with reference to what salient features of what, exactly? Anyway, our planet/sun/galaxy/local group of galaxies, is in constant motion. A moving target in fact. It's best to keep on the move in a dangerous multi-plane, interleaved-universe, system like ... more

rattbagge replied to Do you get the flu vaccine each year?:
Never when the serum had to be injected with a hypodermic syringe. I had an extreme phobia for hypodermic needles. One year they transitioned to the more agreeable hypodermic gun method, where the serum is injected directly through the skin under high pre... more

rattbagge replied to What is the origin of your city's/town's name?:
An indigenous name, plus the place nestles on the shore of a bay.

rattbagge replied to Is there anything hanging from your rear view mirror?:
No, but if she doesn't cease that incessant jabbering in my ear, there will be soon!

rattbagge replied to Have you ever been stung by a bee? :
Thank you very much RJ. I read your sad tale and my now tears have shrunk my shirt so tight on me I can't get it off. I'm sure there is a bee in there too, and it can't get out either. I don't think there will be a good ending for either of us. Thanks RJ!

rattbagge replied to Did your school have sex education classes? :
No. When I was a kid, the Annunaki had yet to refine that part of the process.

rattbagge replied to It has been a month since Rosie disappeared. Any thoughts?:
Dead? Covid? She's still here - we just can't see her? She's decided to torture us with her absence for not agreeing with her every pronouncement? She's run out of clean laundry? She finally went dotty and they've taken her off to a place with high walls,... more

rattbagge replied to At work, did you have to attend bored meetings?:

rattbagge replied to Should we try to learn everything there is to know, and then teach the world?:
If you were to learn everything there is to know here on Earth, then which world have you determined to be lacking this knowledge, and how do you propose to execute your plan without imputing ignorance, thus causing offense.

rattbagge replied to If my TV is on ABC and I start watching something on Netflix, will my TV still be counted as an ABC viewer during the time I'm streaming? :
Ah, sounds like you have a real question there, needing a real answer TM. You'll need to seek out the sense and logic necessary for a meaningful answer on a more appropriate platform.

rattbagge replied to If time came in liquid form would you mix it with your alcoholic drinks so you could stay drunk longer?:
Not unless time had come (and beyond crying over, as did the child in Hans Christian Andersen), when it was necessary to shield yourself from the rampant wickedness of the world.

rattbagge replied to Can anyone guess the name of the President who died less than a month before I was born.:
No, I just think you will not bother to read my question properly, then waste my time with an irrelevant answer to it.

rattbagge replied to Can anyone guess the name of the President who died less than a month before I was born.:
No comprendo senor.

rattbagge replied to Can anyone guess the name of the President who died less than a month before I was born.:
That gets us so very little closer to the actual answer surely? Lots of countries have presidents, even if they don't say it in English. But no, I wasn't thinking of Richard Millhous Nixon. But don't give up now.

rattbagge replied to If you wrote a tutorial for someone making your morning coffee, what humorous step(s) would it include?:
Is that the kind so viscous and treacly that when it gets into the bloodstream, it seizes up the limb muscles, so that you can't put one leg in front of the others?
- March 28, 2021
rattbagge replied to If you wrote a tutorial for someone making your morning coffee, what humorous step(s) would it include?:
That's the most sensible, eminently apposite, comment I've read here in weeks, could be months even - I won't say years - that would be a bridge too far.

rattbagge replied to Guess what!:
Yes a nictitating membrane - and not just reptiles either. .

rattbagge replied to Do you know me?:
Yes, those two plus natural history.
- March 28, 2021
rattbagge replied to If you wrote a tutorial for someone making your morning coffee, what humorous step(s) would it include?:
I wouldn't presume. Plus morning coffee is a very serious matter, not one for levity. Speaking for myself (and, I suspect, many millions of others), of course.

rattbagge replied to Is it advisable for you to carry an epi-pen?:
If, by mistake, you set it to 'suck' instead of 'squirt', I expect it will usually be red.

rattbagge replied to Can anyone guess the name of the President who died less than a month before I was born.:
No, not him, I would have to be considerably older. Interesting you should pick him, unless he is your favorite President.

If I looked in a mirror and saw you, Jane, it wouldn't just be shock and horror, it would be grade A, full ventricular, irrecoverable heart attack. So I'll say good night to you all now. Good night.

rattbagge replied to When the waitress brings my meal and offers me napkins, does that mean she thinks that I am a slob?:
No, it is probably some kind of waitress initiation test. Like: 'Take this to that shabbily dressed mean-looking guy over there, and if he resents you making him out to be a slob, just show you can give as good as you get and you're in'.

rattbagge replied to When I use my voice to tell my arm to rise above my head does not work but when I use thought to command my arm it does work. Why is that?:
I experience the same kind of thing! Wow, this is a real eye-opener, because when my wife tells me to do something, it never gets done. But when I want to do something it always does.

Clever of you to post a medical question here - what with the forum having so many experienced doctors with time on our hands, and all.
- March 21, 2021
rattbagge replied to Do you think this is the prettiest girl ever?:
Is this cute little girl a spaniel of some kind - God give me spaniels ears (from the hymn, either you know or you don't). I hear the English use spaniels for tightening nuts. There are a lot of tight nuts in England - so I hear.
- March 21, 2021

rattbagge replied to What is a word that you frequently mispronounce?:
You mean like MISPRONUNCIATE - I'm sure I noticed that in the White House dictionary when I was looking up misappropriation.

Human life
Posted February 21, 2021

About this population explosion - how will it end?

1) We will come to our senses and deal with it.

2) It will all go away

3) The aliens will come in their UFOs and save us

4) God will save us

5) Mass starvation

6) Catastrophic geologic or climatic change will end it all

7) Conflict to near extermination of humanity

8) Deadly pandemic or catastrophic genetic change.

9) A combination of the above

10) Something else - you choose.

. . . . . . . What do YOU think?
Covid 19
Posted December 19, 2020

What is the best we can hope for with the Covid epidemic:

a) It will eventually blow itself out like many pandemics do.
b) It was clearly engineered by some unknown agency to clear out the dead wood of humanity, the hangers-on and the crumb-gobblers, the indecisive, the ineffectual, the gawmless and the incompetent, in order to enliven and enrich the species.
c) It is a test to see how firm our resolution in pretending all is well and to carrying on as usual.
d) We will see that current attitudes and precautions are inadequate to meet the challenge, and will very soon smarten up and tighten the covid precautions across the board, regardless of suffering lower income and of missing out on important sports and entertainment events and other accustomed conveniences.
e) Get out there and smash up some stores and vehicles and assault a few people because our normal opportunities for fun have been unfairly quashed by heartless covid restrictions. It's so unfair - I mean, WE didn't cause covid!
f) Patiently wait for covid to do its job, so I and my friends can play on the interstate without fear of getting mown down or interrupted by crazy uncaring drivers, plus we can help ourselves to all the terrific stuff lying around for the taking.
