Belleville, Day2.
\nScience question:
\nIrritating life partner #1 is going “Aaaugh”.
\nIrritating life partner #2 is going “Pffftbbbbr” at a 45 degree angle.
\nAt what angle does the associated weather pattern emerge, and which irritating life partner grows more damp as a result?<\/p>\n
“The person who rebuffs you… Are they already shiny?”
\nS, D, and L like this.
\nGW: wait… if they’re rebuffing you, isn’t it you that was\/is shiny?<\/p>\n
“Post-modern Rube Goldberg machine. Discuss.”
\nMC: Facebook? The most convoluted advertising mechanism every built. Founded upon our natural narcissism and need for attention.
\nMe: Kind of like gossip\/tabloids 2.0?<\/p>\n
Me: Sherriff = Shire + Reeve. Huh.
\n K and D like this.
\nSED: Shire = village, reeve = protector. You’ll never guess where “fireplace” comes from!
\nMe: A type of fish that lives in fir trees?
\nRG: Yes that’s right.
\nAK: Neat. Word etymologies are fun for the whole family. I use this site, which seems pretty nifty: http:\/\/www.etymonline.com\/
\nAlso, “spitfire” used to be more profane: http:\/\/www.etymonline.com\/index.php?term=spitfire
\n – Etymonline, a map of the ‘wheel-ruts’ of English.<\/p>\n
Me: Do you get your money back when you return an error code?
\n You, P, and S like this.
\nIM: Yes, but in bitcoin
\nDR: yes but…in counterfeit bills?
\nIM: Or error bills– collectors’ items<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
