(Meteorologist
talking to Anderson Cooper) "And people are talking about the
wind and how they aren't worried about the wind, but you have to
understand only 7-8% of the people here are going to die from wind
related causes. (...beat...) Only 7-8% of people who die
in hurricanes die from wind related causes."
...JUuuuust
a little different math, there...
[2:19
PM] Mr. Brown.:
water
is the killer
water
all the way
lol
[2:20
PM]
Well...say
5000 people stay
She's
said "Of the 5000 who stay...7-8% will die because of wind."
Instead
of "5000 will stay...maybe 40 will die...3 will be from wind."
[2:21
PM] Mr. Brown.:
10%
is beer related
[2:23
PM]
"We're
talking Scythe of the Angle of Hurricane DEATH here, Anderson!
Even the wind of it's passing will doom 375 of them!"
Angel
[2:23
PM] Mr. Brown.:
Scythe
of the Angle is better
“That
hurricane is coming in at a obtuse angle there and is gonna
flambazill the hell outta them!”
[2:42
PM]
hehe

Outrage!
Outrage, I say, in the 4th branch of the US government!
(Social
Media)
According
to that half, "Everybody needs to go to jail!"
(according
to chamber reporter Mrs. Silver, who concluded that "They're all
so stupid")
[4:07
PM] Mr. Blue:
Who's
"everybody"?
[4:07
PM]
Well
I was being tricky there...
[4:08
PM] Mr. Blue:
Oh,
your other half said Republicans need to go to jail
[4:08
PM]
Both
sides think the other side should go to jail
I
even found out this morning that Kavanaugh sexually molesting Ford
decades ago was (somehow) a “Clinton Conspiracy!”
So
that all fits into place
Meanwhile
in the Grownups Section, I read that its on record that Ford had
actually told a bunch of people about this years before K was
nominated for the position.
She
was very very clever to meet with Clinton to prepare all this before
suddenly making it up before the committee could vote on Kavenaugh –
just in case he got a law degree, became a judge, and came up as a
Supreme Court nominee.
[4:13
PM] Mr. Blue:
very
very long con
[4:13
PM]
Not
as clever as faking all of Obama's records when he was born just in
case he grew up and people chose to elect him president.
(Yes...I've
read this "true" theory)
[4:14
PM] Mr. Blue:
If
they're *that* capable they deserve to be in power
[4:14
PM]
Yes
True
long-term multi-generation Masters
[4:15
PM] Mr. Blue:
Literally
inventing a future president, from birth, but can't do the same for a
few dozen senators or house reps to maintain power
And
can't even campaign in a swing state like Wisconsin
It's
Flat Earth territory... The conspiracy requires the cooperation of
many millions of people over long periods of time
[4:16
PM]
Too
bad Obama failed, huh? All that work and he couldn't manage to
make us all socialist gunless Muslims subservient to ... Kenya? I
guess?
"Damn
it! What is our plant DOING???"
"Fixing
the economy and dragging our world status back up from where Bush
pooped it."
"WHY???"
[4:17
PM] Mr. Blue:
The
only reason we're not in FEMA camps is because of the Red HoR and
Senate
[4:18
PM]
Saved!
[12:55
PM] Mr. Brown.:
So
my new hire did a no call no show yesterday
I'm
starting to wonder if his school is going to interfere with him
working here, or if he is just that immature
[12:56
PM] Mr. Blue:
I
wish i could pull those
[12:57
PM]
(10
hours earlier...Mr. Brown in the back yard filling in the last of a
6' long hole.)
[1:02
PM] Mr. Blue:
"You'll
be training with Mr. Brown today!"

Technical Support
[1:24
PM]
"What
is this? What is this, a new Driving Game? I told you not
to download anything." "It's Ok, I downloaded it
on my mother's Steam."
"Cancel
it."
"What?"
"Cancel
it and uninstall it."
"But
it's OK. I downloaded it on my mother's Steam."
"What's
she got? Is that a new Kindle?"
"Nice
huh, Jimmy?"
"Take
it back! I told you guys not to buy anything!"

Yesterday's
film was "Contact" with Silver Junior, who was also being
horrible.
Got
it from the library Monday -- for him since he's been fixated
on alien contact recently -- and finally had an opportunity to watch
and he decided to try to dump on it for something mindless.
There
were some hot words that ended with "this or bed right now"
[9:29
AM] Mr. Blue:
That's
a good one
[9:29
AM]
Yeah
Under
protest he was soon totally riveted
Book
is really good. I think I loaned it to you at one point. Don't
recall if you read any of it though
[9:30
AM] Mr. Blue:
I
didn't finish it
I
didn't like the book
[9:31
AM]
Too
much astrophysics?
[9:39
AM] Mr. Blue:
I
just remember it being boring
[9:45
AM]
Science
and politics... Did you actually make it to the signal and the
decoding and such?
[9:51
AM] Mr. Blue:
I
don't remember
I
think my mom read it and described some stuff to me, then there's the
movie muddling it
You
probably described it too
[10:06
AM]
It
was quite cool. It took a lot longer than the movie implies to
sort it out and build the thing too. The technologies for some
stuff didn't exist but the instructions taught what was needed.
They
sent a whole team, not just one person.
None
of the recordings worked, as in the movie, but no one could explain
the duration of the “nothing”.
So
there was a lot more credibility on the return. Several experts
in various fields saying "yes it happened"
[10:08
AM] Mr. Blue:
ahh
[10:09
AM]
The
machine didn't work again...no one knew how that was accomplished but
it was a one shot deal
[10:10
AM] Mr. Blue:
So
it opened up a wormhole but the aliens had to basically "pick
up" on their end or it wouldn't work? Like a phone call
Was
the machine similar to the movie?
Like
a big atom and you drop into the middle
[10:16
AM]
Yes,
I believe it used the rings
And
yeah, the sender Ellie was assigned to explained there were wormholes
all over and the machine just extended a short link.
And
The
whole wormhole network was artificially created. They had no
idea what advanced culture made them but they were apparently long
gone. They just found them. No idea how it was done.
[10:27
AM] Mr. Blue:
I
forgot about that
The
part about how the aliens that contacted us weren't the ones that
originally made the technology
[10:28]
All
well and good, right
But
the one thing they could have used in the visit scene in the movie
and didn't for some reason was pretty key to the book.
As
Ellie asserted, Math is the only universal language
They
confirmed it for her.
"Math
was invented too...it's artificial. Whatever species created
it...whether they did the wormholes too or not...they imposed math on
the whole universe. It might be a message, just like what we sent
you. Seems like it" "
[10:28
AM] Mr. Blue:
wild
[10:28
AM]
"There's
clues. We've figured out some of it."
[10:28
AM] Mr. Blue:
Wonder
who contacted the ones who contacted us
I
wonder if they recognized the Hitler broadcast for what it was or if
it even mattered - if it's like first contact rules in Star Trek,
once you send out the signal they are obliged to respond
"Hmm..
can't make out the words but this guy seems like an unpleasant
character.."
"Oh
well, rules are rules, send it back."
Perhaps
that was part of the test, or maybe none of that was even in the book
[10:32
AM]
It
was automated to do just that, actually
[10:32
AM] Mr. Blue:
ahh
[10:32
AM]
A
probe was left in a hostile environment but in good listening range
of a lot of places
[10:40
AM] Mr. Blue:
I
wonder what happens if their automated response was sent to the
Predator civilization
Now
my retard brain is stuck on a Contact / Predator crossover
[10:50
AM]
Well
the Predators were already FTL spacefarers
[10:50
AM] Mr. Blue:
But
before that
[10:53
AM]
Honestly...they're
not very smart. I doubt they could do it. They were
encountered and got the tech they wanted.
Or
they used to be smart and are stupid now
[10:53
AM] Mr. Blue:
heh
That's
true. They'd have to build the thing
They
probably got the specs and were like "how do we turn this into a
weapon"
or
"this won't help us hunt"
[11:52
AM] Mr. Brown.:
I
watched Contact so long ago i forget everything that happens
lol
Other
than what i can gather from the title
[11:54
AM]
It's
90 minutes of astrophysicists crawling around on a lab floor looking
for Jodie Foster’s contact lens, Mr. Brown
