Hmm. Plumbing emergency or not? #RhetoricalQuestion #DeliberatelyCryptic
Consult a doctor if the plumbing emergency persists? - John (bird whisperer)
If your plumbing emergency should last for more than four hours, call your plumber immediately. - bentley
give it two aspirin & call a plumber in the morning? - Stephan!e•CogSc!L!brar!an
I can't wait until the end of flu season. Unfortunately there are at least two to three more months left.
I wonder if Rand Paul is still licensed to practice medicine?
I think so, but I'm not sure. - John (bird whisperer)
Act Two. Freedom Fries. - This American Life http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-a... - so basically being annoyed with vocal fry is associated with misogyny and age discrimination against young people?
"A man wrote 'Listen, I know there's pressure to hire females, in particular young females just out of college. And besides, they're likely to work for less money. But do you have to choose the most irritating voices in the English-speaking world? I mean, are you forced to? Or maybe, as I imagine, NPR runs national contests looking for them.'" - Victor Ganata
I couldn't even hear it in that piece. Found this video and now I can hear it https://www.youtube.com/watch... - Laura Norvig

OTOH, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that some people are against vaccinations considering how vehemently some guys will argue that they don't have to wash their hands after touching their penis.

who votes for these people? grrr - maʀtha
You can't forgive someone if they didn't do anything wrong.
I don't think I've met such a person. - Todd Hoff
I'm seeing the reverse in a current dumb FB thread. Someone semi-famous said something racist months ago, apologized, it got brought up half in context to a current event, and his friends are now jumping in to say "yeah, but what he said wasn't actually so bad", which IMO partially undoes their friend's apology. - Andrew C (✔)
I choose to believe that when Data said "operations per second" he didn't mean FLOPS (via Cracked) http://www.cracked.com/photopl...
For fun, I wanted to see if anyone had tried to compare the processing power of the human brain to a CPU. According to the first hit on Google, the human brain is estimated to be able to perform in the petaflop to exaflop range. "It seems reasonable to conclude that the human brain has a raw computational power between 10^13 and 10^16 operations per second." http://www.merkle.com/brainLi... - Victor Ganata
re: #19, equivalent to walking from LA to Chicago: fuck that, I'd rather fly. <trollface> - Andrew C (✔)
I am choosing to explain all the weird things happening in my house as a consequence of someone operating an unlicensed Infinite Improbability Drive instead of it being a consequence of demonic influence.
The current scientific theory of creation requires us to assume that all of this arose from a random quantum fluctuation that got expanded to massive scale by cosmological inflation. It doesn't require the existence of an underlying purpose or a superhuman entity guiding creation, but it doesn't preclude it either.
But once you start accepting the idea that random quantum fluctuations can influence large scale processes, you've opened the door to Boltzmann brains http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... and who is to say there *aren't* superhuman sapient entities floating around in our universe? - Victor Ganata
Boltzmann brains are, probably, a delicacy in some multiverses. - Micah
Now just imagine sticking this Christmas tree adaptor into someone's peehole. #CantUnimagine #NeedBrainBleachSTAT
Worse...think about taking it out. ::shudder:: - That&#39;s So CAJ!
"The procedure is performed as follows. Keep the patient supine and still to avoid potentially disrupting a stable pelvic hematoma. Obtain a baseline abdominal radiograph (KUB) and ensure the film captures the entire course of the urethra and bladder…."
"…Retract the foreskin, if present, and control the shaft of the penis with a 4 by 4 inch gauze pad to prevent slippage. Stretch the penis obliquely over the thigh to promote unfolding and visualization of the entire urethra. Fill a 60 mL syringe with 10 percent water-soluble contrast (diluted in sterile saline) and attach a Christmas tree adaptor. Insert the adaptor snugly into the urethral meatus ensuring a tight fit as leaking contrast will result in a spurious study." #InadvertentlyHorrifyingParagraphsInMedicalLiterature - Victor Ganata
"Christmas tree adaptor" caught my eye. - Victor Ganata
great hashtag - Marie
"urethral meatus" is way too many syllables for "peehole" - Victor Ganata
I'm not sure how I feel about the fact than an "artisanal ramen" place is opening up in my hood. I can no longer deny the fact that where I live is totally and utterly gentrified.
One of the groups Facebook suggests I join: Weather Manipulation / Chemtrails / Geoengineering - 8,260 members /facepalm
I love that chemtrails and geoengineering go in the same group. - John (bird whisperer)
as above, so below ;) - Pete&#39;s Got To Go
