Indeed!
I'm having YOUR Ardmore Legacy first..... It's actually very nice!
Just a wee splash of water... to release the flavours.... oh, but it's a complex one!!!
Sweet on the palate, very slight hint of vanilla? VERY warming on the throat!
Slightly woody?? but light... fragrant? I Like It!

Nope! I've been a nerd long enough. I know now that Physics is resistant to ideas that may upset the mainstream, and that our voices will never be heard there! Alot of top physicists love it to sound like genius and to people to look at them with incomprehension on their faces, gives them a sense of superiority I guess. I'm not like that; I don't ever want to be associated with Scientism ever.

I'll drink to that!

I just hope the taxmen didn't make it to those other realms too!

Ok, very disappointing but I promise I won't ever "nerd" you. But since I was very young I have found it so fascinating that time stands still.
And pompousness is part of all of human relation? No?

a reply to: Gordi The Drummer

Yeah! Me too.

I don't have any lagger, just blond ale, but it'll have to do.

Cheers!

Cheers!

OK, I propose we have a (slightly) nerdy night?

Skip to 1:40 for the good stuff!

a reply to: WalkInSilence

Yeah, you have a point.

I used to share your fascination, as a lad, myself. Now I guess I just am a bit bitter about the whole thing.

a reply to: Gordi The Drummer



I've already done that one.

As far as I can see our grand Highlander will hail to any thing that would promote a vague occasion to celebration at this time. Which could urge me to create some grand mischief, but I will refrain from that out of curtesy to his dignity. I will retreat into my lair.

Me too!! LOL
My Boys LOVED IT!!!

What about using a speaker to manipulate a flow of water.... using video frame rates to simulate water going "uphill"???
This is so cool!!

I always fancied including several of these setups in a music video! I thought it would look amazing and get people to go "WTF??"
LOL

Be a boy again. Bitter is good if it combined with other flavours. Find that boy.
I am fascinated by so many things, have always been, I want to grasp it all.

How about using sound (vibration) to create physical patterns via resonance? (in salt)



So cool.

I am very freeish mind you Sir, although not the other referances and am I also perceptive.
You are tipsy. Is Chrissy off with the boys? I knew it. No cooking lovely lentil soup or attending to other domestic chores. Phyf. Mate

Wow that was so ....organic. And beautiful.
I want a mattress that does that.

I'll catch up in a minute. Just got in a little while ago. Another friggin test and appointment coming up. Something about that mass in the adrenal gland or near it? Doctor doesn't seem too concerned, but just in case he wants another look and may or may not send me to another specialist. So the imaging place will call to set up an appointment for the xray. Need blood work before that. Kidney stone has stayed the same size and hasn't moved. Then bloodwork and a follow up with my general practitioner in June I think and in November the oncologist.

I was very nervous because if something is of concern from the test it could mean an operation which terrifies me. I have anxiety and I know I shouldn't get so nervous, but can't help it. My Sister has anxiety too, but hers isn't as bad and she assumes if she can handle things easily, then I should be able to as well. Mine isn't as bad as some folks, but I do get nervous as hell. So instead of a little extra kindness and compassion, she gets pissy with me. I actually cried from frustration.

I probably should ask for an even stronger dose of my anxiety med, but with any meds, especially with an increase in dosage, there are side affects. Anyway, she bought me lunch and I had two black Russians and felt better after that. Sorry for the long rant.

Science is humankind's agreed explanation of something. I don't want to see a phenomenon with just maths anymore; I also want to see the mystical aspect of it, the magical aspect of it, the fun aspect of it. I want it to transcend all, transcend reason and absurdity both. Philosophies are the sunglasses of your mind, and by removing a sunglass I can finally see the other colours of my world.
