@george-k said in Bear Hug: @Klaus @klaus said in Bear Hug: I've read too many stories where wild dangerous animals have been kept for many years and they were always peaceful, but then one day they snapped and killed their owner. Call me cynical or mean, but a wild animal stays a wild animal. Bears are not meant to be pets, and it's silly to risk ones life. Indeed. It's cute, but dumb AF and potentially dangerous as hell too. Look at SIgfried and Roy. Those were supposedly "tame" lions. I agree. We recently had a forum thread about chimpanzee who severely damaged his owners face by biting it. A wild animal is a wild animal.

Repeating the answer w/o Klaus’s symbols: 2 scientists. Both go in and see zero. One does 99 of his 100 full cycles, taking the number high. The 2nd comes in finally does his first write, replacing that high number with 37. 1st guy comes in for his last read and sees 37, leaves. 2nd guy does the remainder of his cycles, taking the number high again. 1st guy comes in, erases the high number, and writes 74 as his final write. As we discussed earlier, when you expand to 100 scientists just have them do all their 100 cycles after the final guy’s last read but before his final write.

The idea that a cash payout could somehow recompense for the evils done to my ancestors is pretty silly. On the other hand, I would accept a case of French or Italian wine, if anybody's feeling guilty.

@george-k said in If only we could have reduced our carbon footprint...: @jolly I blame the cave man SUVs. It was obviously mammoth farts.

They seem to fly the flag at half staff here in town every time a retired police officer or firefighter passes on to the great pension office in the sky. My daughter and I play a little game on the way to school - 'Who's snuffed it this week?'. Imagine if car dealerships flew at half-staff - that would be a hell of a job cranking those babies up and down!

@klaus said in New car: @george-k Is that the mother-in-law under the blanket? Yes. It's from "National Lampoon's Vacation," a movie from the late 1980s when Chevy Chase was still funny.

I’ll watch it sounds interesting, much better than actually following people.

@brenda said in Carrots and sticks: Bach, is there a black market for fake green cards that look like the immunization cards? Actually big issue. The powers that be are putting in a lot of effort to insure no fakes. But people are people and there will always be those that try to profit one way or another.

When they rehabbed that building they should've made the windows extra skinny to really sell the "being squeezed!" look.

No excuse for President Biden, as he was already somewhat "famous" when he told the stories. He should know better. That is just dumb of him, However, It would be interesting to hear stories from forum members here that maybe weren't 100% true. 555
