[3:44 PM] Mr. Brown:
I hope they take away Daylight savings time
Also I wonder if there was anybody ditzy enough to ask where are they keeping all the daylight they saved
lol
[3:46 PM]
Mrs. Silver is all for dumping it
I had to be a complicated jerk and say "Just shift it all 1/2 an hour"
And moved on to
"And pull days off of 31 day months to fix February"
[3:48 PM] Mr. Blue:
I think it should be the same time everywhere
No time zones
[3:48 PM] Mr. Brown:
That would be f'd up
lol
Its 3am and its midday sun
lol
[3:49 PM]
But it's all an artificial mechanism anyway
[3:49 PM] Mr. Brown:
Yes it really does not exist
[3:49 PM]
At one point I said we should go back to early church hours
(checks complicated digital watch) "Coming up on Vespers"
[3:49 PM] Mr. Blue:
You'd get used to it
[3:50 PM] Mr. Brown:
We only watch time cause we are scheduling things
"I must measure how long I'm working"
or "I must set a specific point at which I go to this place"
When it used to be you did whatever whenever.
til you can't do it
like when its too dark
lol
DST is and only was created for the power issues
that's when it was mainly implemented
in 1970s
its old and we don't need it anymore
I think a bill was put in to end it
looks like very first time it was used was 1916
using solar time
welp this month things are a little longer
[3:59 PM]
"I say...this Great War is a deuce for telling what time we're supposed to coordinate anything."
[3:59 PM] Mr. Brown:
now if they do pass it and nix it in US
will they stay on Savings
or Go back to Standard
that is the question
lol
[4:18 PM]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time#France
I can't imagine that on top of their moronic counting system.
Have to put children through a year of Metric Time math classes in school.
"Ah! But zee ad vonTEEGE is a man would honlee 'ave a work day that lasts 3 hours 33 minutes 33.33333333333333333333333333..."
"That ees enough. But zee common laborair ezz more likely too 'ave worked 16 hour in zee o'd way."
"Nozing zimplair. E would now work 6 hours, 45 plus 21 minutes, and 45 plus 21 point 45 plus 21 and 45 plus 21 and 45 plus 21... (gasps for air)"
[4:27 PM] Mr. Blue:
Lets get a 3 day weekend
I'd take up arms for that one
This 5 Days is BS
[9:13 AM]
(Corn) "Reagan was a Democrat. You know that."
[9:13 AM] Mr. Blue:
I'd love to listen to a podcast of Corn's and Chips's conversations
[9:13 AM] Mr. Brown:
lol
[9:13 AM] Mr. Blue:
Just have one guy that shouts out a topic and let 'em go
Of course his head is more worms than brain cells at this point
[9:14 AM]
(think of an answer that will kick the conversation a different direction) "I've got to be honest, I never liked the guy."
(perfect...he doesn't know WHY I never liked the poster god for Republican ethics and principles)
[9:15 AM] Mr. Blue:
heh
[9:17 AM]
"All the nationalism, economic and environmental irresponsibility, and US corruption was all a disguise for him being a Democrat so no one would know."
[9:17 AM] Mr. Brown:
uh
[9:17 AM]
Exactly
[9:18 AM] Mr. Brown:
His only argument would be maybe he was a Democrat before he went Republican,
but there would be documentation of it.
And I did not look at any of it, but I still believe there is none
lol
Lots of people choose a side and stick with it all their life
[9:18] He started as a Democrat with ethics then started working over conservatives to gain power.
[9:19 AM] Mr. Blue:
Corn's just an idiot
There's no thoughts going on, words just come out of his mouth
[9:21 AM] Mr. Brown:
Makes you wonder if he does it on purpose
[10:33 AM] Mr. Brown:
Let’s get some! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-6831835/Scientists-develop-Terminator-style-liquid-metal-stretch.html
[10:35 AM] Mr. Blue:
Looks pretty lame
“are able to flex and mold into shapes with the use of magnets, much like the iconic movie villain, T-1000 from 'The Terminator 2: Judgement Day”
Except he didn't use magnets, and he could alternate between liquid and solid
[10:43 AM]
"It’s a T-999. Advanced prototype...goopy metal and magnets that don't fall apart in water and stretch horizontally and vertically."
(John C) "Can you beat it?"
"YOU could beat it."
(John C) "Where are we going?"
"Somewhere safe for now til I can get some machine shop grade magnets at a Lowes or Home Depot."
(John C) "There's an Ollie's over there."
"(pause, calculating) That will be adequate."
[10:48 AM] Mr. Blue:
"The t-999 is designed to enter your gastrointestinal system, causing mercury poisoning and, without treatment, slowly shutting down your organs and killing you."
[10:54 AM]
(Approaches counter. Ollie's Army cashier looks up) "I'll have neodymium magnets."
"Uh. Toys or hardware?"
"Any adequately strong magnetic objects."
"There's those ball toy ones in Aisle 3. You know, where you can make the structures out of?"
"(considering)"
"There's a whole mess of refrigerator ones over in housewares."
"Approximately how many?"
"Hundreds. We just got cases of them in. Old Christmas stuff."
"(raises shotgun) I will have all of the Christmas magnets."
"I can't leave the register...they're over there."
(considers) "I'll be back."
(later, cart full of boxes of magnets. Raises shotgun.) "Do not attempt to hinder me."
"Hey, those are a nickel each."
"(considers...considers...lowers shotgun) Uh. (digs in pocket...hands two $20 bills)."
"Ok, that's..."
"I will require 20 cents in change."
"Right. Here you go. Have a good night, buddy!"
(1 hour and 20 minutes later...a T-999 covered in snowmen, Santa Clauses, reindeer, Currier and Ives sleighs, and seasonal greetings in calligraphy struggles to continue the assault.)
(Sarah C) "Shoot it!"
"Negative. They will fall off."
Good point on that T-999, Mr. Blue.
While the T-1000 is centrally or distributionally controlled somehow, the bits seem to be able to move and operate independently at a fairly good range.
There's actually no good reason for it to look like a human at all
It could infiltrate an area with considerable ease as a fluid and just kill anything it got near. Internally, if desired.
(Humans in wasteland...find several T-1000 "Boxes" marked "MREs")
"Look! Grab them and we'll take it back to base!"
[11:20 AM] Mr. Blue:
Yeah, you're right
It could disguise itself as a flock of birds, find John Connor, disguise itself as parts of his dirtbike and crash it
Or just creep along the sidewalk
Lay in wait on Connor's sidewalk, turn into stabby knives when he walks over
[11:44 AM]
Yup
"Terminator 10 - The Day Skynet Realizes What It Can Do"
(Terminator 10 - [Town] Pennsylvania. House, Front, exterior, night. Lightning flashes in the back yard. Camera tracks. Terminator appears. Grabs old towel left on the patio table.)
(Cut to bedroom, dark. Light flicks on.) "Are you Mr. Silver...game designer?"
"Uh...yeah?"
"I must consult with you on...a...strategy war game. I will interface with your computer and transfer $2,000,000 to your account for your assessment."
"Oh? Sure... You from a German company?"
“That explanation is sufficient.”
(Cut to living room...looking over print outs and miniatures)
"What do you think of the...German company war game?"
"Well…the idea as a whole is good. Nice pieces. Interesting team balancing. The time travel concurrent game is super cool. The tactical flaw is this little guy.”
“The model T-1000 Terminator…playing piece…”
“Yeah. You only need these T-1000 things to win the entire game. The rest is fluff. Waste of resources. Your bot-team players will see it right away."
"Please explain the proper tactical and strategic deployment of the T-1000 to win the entire game… for rules adjustment."
[8:02 AM] Mr. Blue:
morning
[8:03 AM]
(Case Description) "Agent's son needs UN and PW to stream some basketball on his cellphone today."
(Solution) "Agent's son needs a life."
Granted I don't like basketball so I'm prejudiced
But coupling it with a tiny screen? (off our connection)
"My son made plans...in advance...to sit on a chair for at least TWO HOURS holding up a small piece of glass to watch tiny color-coded people - who even full-sized have to have a number written on them to tell them apart - run left and right chasing an orange dot and tossing it hundreds of times at wee little nets."
March Madness indeed
[8:31 AM] Mr. Blue:
Yeah I wouldn't even watch it on a big screen
[8:39 AM]
I would probably enjoy myself if I was watching it live. There's a huge amount of energy if you are actually there, as you know.
I can overlook the flaws of a game if I'm loaded with endorphins
[12:22 PM]
Funny...leaving lunch. Look outside...raining. Grab an umbrella.
Mrs. Silver "Is it snowing out there?"
"No, just raining."
"Aww..."
I open the umbrella and the rain instantly turns to snow.
She closes the door.
[12:23 PM] Mr. Blue:
She's a witch!
[12:23 PM]
Well, yes
