So my daughter's flight from LAX is delayed. It was originally scheduled to arrive at 12:45 AM. Then it was delayed to 1:35 AM. Now it has finally departed and is scheduled to arrive at 1:10 AM. So I guess that's an improvement. Not sure if I should just try to stay awake, or take a bit of a nap. The last time she came home on this flight at Christmas, it finally arrived at 2:45 AM. By that point, I was so wired I felt like I was back in college pulling an all-nighter.

Who always said "NOTHING GOOD HAPPENS AT 2 IN THE MORNING"?

Rep to the first correct answer :-)

My mother used to try to tell me that when I was teen hot rodding around in the desert with my girl under the starlight. ha ha And that was a long time ago. If your source is later than 1967 I say dubs for my ma.

j/k, really.

I was a cross country runner who trained at night. Still no car and no girl. But I found a lot of parked cars in the hills where I ran. . . . .

that's why the bullet points are so necessary. they will help us make sense of all of this. nothing makes sense without them.

so here is one of the themes that has been developed in this thread. . . . well, no I don't do formulaic thinking like the rote drills in public schools. . . . . so no bullet points. People, learn to cogitate or accept the fact that you haven't developed the one human attribute that has enabled us to rise from the muck and actually do some things other creatures haven't done yet. . . .

Some would by the logic imputed in the past few pages claim that the human genetic code is all nonsense. Some geneticists say they believe all of the specific proteins specified in the genetic code only accounts for around 5% of DNA as having any "point" or purpose in producing a human being. What does all the rest do???? Scientists used to call it nonsense, then started calling it "spacer segments", then started finding control sequences that governed the expression or production of protein products, etc etc etc.. Some have claimed that it's mutations withing the "nonsense" that have produced entirely new proteins. . . . some few being absolutely revolutionary in the whola schema of evolution.

I say whatever we think we know. . . . whatever "points" we may think we have. . . . . always exist in a context of nonsense. . . . which makes us human enough to not just be damned robots or slaves to statists.

Need a graph. If babe is currently outpacing PKM, he might catch him by the time the Jazz compete for a championship...2035, perhaps?

I plan to do, sometimes, real game-time posts about Jazz games next year. I can do about 200 comments on a game. I might actually catch up with PKM. . . . but I'm pretty sure he'll have to start changing diapers before I'll ever start gaining on him. . . . lol
 
So I bailed out of the ICU to come home to do some chores, get something to eat, and take a shower. Hang in here, folks.

Weekend schedule is, with people sitting in for me, I'm taking a load of boys to the ranch to do some serious spring work....... but I'll check in here for a few minutes when I can. . . .

these are really weak posts, devoid of any real content

"real" is in the eye of the beholder. . . . if the point of this thread is essentially to be the longest thread ever, it comes close to being about numerical issues such as this.

A pretty smart physicist once said "We have dreamed the world". . . . .and he was right in at least the sense that our understanding of it is a dream, not a reality.

yes, the universe and the world may be hypothetically "out there", meaning outside our skulls. What it is, or is not, may be theoretically hypothesized to be existing independently from our thoughts or dreams, may be something that existed before it was "conceived" or imagined by man or any other entity. . . . even before "God" as some may suppose.

But our science and our present belief systems are our own dreams. . . . .
 
I have a question for you, babe.
I was reading about the life of Helen Keller and I get that she was taught language through signing into her hands. I can understand her learning language for concrete objects or actions without sight or hearing, but how does she learn language for abstract and political concepts like freedom or justice?
