[8:44 AM] Mr. Silver:
So after the briefest of distraction/inattention I ended up getting this foam thing on my finger ("try not to get it wet") wet.
Clipped off most of it with nail clippers and let it dry...looks like I'll not be springing a leak.
[8:46 AM] Mr. Blue:
How much finger did you lose?
Any nail?
[8:59 AM] Mr. Silver:
Missed the nail entirely
I can't think of a good reference size
Maybe an area the size of the top of the hold button on your desk phone, just closer to round.
[9:01 AM] Mr. Blue:
Ah. Nasty.
[9:02 AM] Mr. Silver:
16th inch deep?
Also I think it's shrinking as it closes up.
[9:20 AM] Mr. Brown:
Morning. How is the missing part of your thumb?
[9:20 AM] Ms. Rose:
I had a dream about your missing thumb piece last night.
[9:24 AM] Mr. Silver:
(me, creeping through the house not turning the lights on, looking for the noise Mrs. Silver heard)
"We meet again..."
"Who's there!?"
"You haven't forgotten me already, have you? Did you really think I wouldn't be back?"
[9:25 AM] Ms. Rose:
(rofl)
“The Telltale Thumb Piece”, starring Mr. Silver.
[9:26 AM] Mr. Silver:
"I have a knife!"
"Hoho! Ah, but you already tried that once. Tell me – 'Father' - do you know what it's like waking up in a bag marked 'Bio Waste - For Incineration'?"
[9:27 AM] Ms. Rose:
OMG! (rofl)
[9:27 AM] Mr. Brown:
I lost part of my thumb once. I cut part of the knuckle off with a meat slicer
[9:27 AM] Mr. Silver:
Yum!
[9:28 AM] Mr. Brown:
New piece grew back
[9:28 AM] Ms. Rose:
Lizard
[9:29 AM] Mr. Brown:
Same thumb I folded a knife on.
Just pushed back into place put a bandaid on it
Grew back in
LOL
[9:30 AM] Mr. Silver:
lol
[9:30 AM] Mr. Brown:
I guess I AM a lizard
[9:30 AM] Mr. Silver:
Before stitches there was "tie it on and hope"
[9:31 AM] Mr. Brown:
My right thumb has been through a few wars
The left always comes out ok
[9:32 AM] Mr. Silver:
The left is the one who is setting up the ambushes
"You're attached! I mean...where were you, man?"
[9:35 AM] Ms. Rose:
Yinz remember that stuff called Gak? It was like Play-Doh for 90's teens. I thought it would be a good idea to cut it with a pair of scissors. It took off the top part of my index finger, but everything healed. And I made a new color of Gak from all the blood.
[9:39 AM] Mr. Silver:
Green and red swirlies! (5 mins later) Green and brown blobbies! (5 mins later) Ick!
[9:46 AM] Ms. Rose:
I believe the Gak in my bloody experience was purple. And then became a deeper purple. So, Deep Purple =/ A Whiter Shade of Pale.
[9:50 AM] Mr. Silver:
I believe you would be the whiter shade of pale from the blood loss
[10:03 AM] Mr. Brown:
Spray the wound with some Windex and put Gak on it . It will be fine
[10:05 AM] Ms. Rose:
Nod
[9:51 AM] Mr. Silver:
How could a fellow pass on an essay premise like this one?
[9:55 AM] Mr. Blue:
“Maybe backward time travel is possible, but only up to the moment that time travel is invented.”
The “Primer” (2004) method
How about we've not met any of them because people keep coming back in time but they end up being in the middle of empty space because everything is constantly moving
[10:09 AM] Mr. Silver:
Well...that depends on the machine and forces involved and theory it's based on.
Like...if the mass of the earth is enough to hold you and the machine on the surface now...does it hold you there while in transit?
(Which would be a potential disaster in itself)
[10:10 AM] Mr. Blue:
Even if it keeps you on earth who is to say you don't come out in history at a point where there's a tree growing where you stand
[10:11 AM] Mr. Silver:
That's the potential disaster.
"I'm going back in TIME!!!” (Hits button. Housefly enters same physical space as machine within first few seconds...Fission detonation destroys local space)
[10:13 AM] Mr. Brown:
In Time Cop, he was in a machine... then out of it... then back in it when he would come back to his time
Almost like he was still in the machine and some copy showed up the past.
So what about virtual reality time travel?
You are not actually moving to that space and time, but peeking into it.
[10:14 AM] Mr. Blue:
The safest place to time travel would be empty outer space if you're going back.
[10:14 AM] Mr. Silver:
Yes
[10:14 AM] Mr. Brown:
It's not that empty
LOL
[10:15 AM] Mr. Silver:
Outer space isn't that safe either, really
[10:15 AM] Mr. Blue:
No, but you could build a thing that'd keep you mostly safe
[10:15 AM] Mr. Silver:
Someone finally calculated the effects of a speck of dust hitting a high sub-lightspeed spacecraft recently. It wouldn't be pretty.
The only way to safely do it is to figure out how to remove yourself from...reality. Then pick a good spot to step back in.
Sadly, we aren't really very far along with dimensional travel.
"We believe alternate dimensions exist! And the world might be a sphere!" - Thoth Zozer, 4000 BC
“Other dimensions apparently exist according to the math.” - Dr. Todd Zozer, 2000 AD
[10:23 AM] Mr. Blue:
I think the bending of space is the ticket anyway. Move space..not the ship
Moving really really fast to get to where you need to go seems kinda archaic
It's going to be looked at some day like we look at horses & wagons today
[10:24 AM] Mr. Silver:
Yes...skip the space
[10:23 AM] Mr. Brown:
What was that Christopher Reeve movie where he concentrated hard and traveled in time?
[10:28 AM] Mr. Silver:
"Somewhere in Time". That was an interesting method.
I don't know if it was stolen from the book "Time and Again"...maybe
Both were good. I appreciated it as a concept because it kind of feeds into how I think about the world.
"Time
and Again" and "Somewhere in Time" was more an approach that life and
time is attitude and environment. With enough immersion, you can move
yourself to where it all belongs.
[10:35 AM] Mr. Brown:
What if you cannot travel in time but you can actually travel in dimensions. Like if we really are multiple selves living at different times in all the different dimensions. Could you swap consciousness?
[11:00 AM] Mr. Silver:
Yes, that's a way.
[11:31 AM] Mr. Brown:
How about you cannot move yourself to another time but you can travel in your own conscious timeline?
[11:34 AM] Mr. Silver:
Mr. Brown, I have already theorized in here that people already do travel their own time lines and can see nearby versions of themselves.
I pondered the memory storage capacity of the human brain and wondered if what we are actually doing is looking back along our own timeline...and forward.
Its one reason memory gets messy in the past and speculative in the future.
Since I also believe all the other possibilities and other 'yous' are out there at the same time...how often do you "miss" your target a little? Or a lot?
All those studies revealing how flawed peoples' memories are. Are they? Or are the people witnessing variant versions of events?
[11:40 AM] Mr. Brown:
The idea of mentally time traveling like that, you could make different decisions in the past thereby changing things in the present.
[11:41 AM] Mr. Silver:
There are meditative techniques that say you can.
I came up with an unusual method, myself ;)
Well...I theorized one
It was a mess to grasp and I never systematized it.
It basically involves saturating your own past local timelines with:
1. The specific instructions...including a static transmission/reception schedule
2. Repeatedly imprinting something useful for yourself to know "in the future"
3. Concentrating on the “future” imprints as transmitted over the project.
Because of the mental time-travel with near-miss theories, you essentially set up a community of past, present, and future selves seeding the group with things like...oh...lottery numbers, to be cliché. The more selves saturate the knowledge base, the more likely you'll start passing accurate "hits".
[2:10 PM] Mr. Silver:
Stuff I'd "find" with a time travel system -
They recently found and dug up that Nazi Gold Train
Wait
Sorry
They recently dug a big hole
Hehe... The Lufthansa Heist
As recreated in Goodfellas and still an open case
"For as long as I could, do, and will remember, I always wanted to be, am, was a Timefella."
"Then there was Jimmy Two Times. He was given the nickname because he jumped out of sync and was there two times." (two copies of Jimmy, one slightly behind the other in time) "I'm gonna go get the papers -get the papers."
So Timefellas makes the whole segment with Hill talking a blue streak on drugs much funnier
[3:11 PM] Mr. Blue:
Heheh
[1:45 PM] Mr. Brown:
Looks like Russia is going to the moon
[1:46 PM] Mr. Blue:
Someone tell Russia that the moon is already ours
It’s the 51st state
[1:47 PM] Mr. Brown:
They are planning it by 2030
And they want to leave people there
[1:47 PM] Mr. Silver:
(NASA) "Once you manage to land there, you, the Nazis, and we will talk it over."
New Russian gulag, eh?
(looking at plans) "I see the passenger seating for the payload, but I don't see any details for the landing method or the moonbase materials."
"What landing? What base?"
"You're just going to crash it?"
"Da."
"Well what are the cameras and the life support systems for?"
"We're filming “entertainment” for the next “crew” that is sentenced to go."
