Techmology and Scientism / Re: Cold fusion?

This is 169% guaranteed crap.

the bob in me is clenching her teeth

we cannot know what is the deal with the e-cat. i find it interesting that, among other scientists, nasa is taking it seriously http://ecat.org/tag/nasa/

Until he moves away from DO NOT LOOK IN MAGIC BOX, I can't take him seriously.  This is a con.

For me its a good use of maybe logic, 90% maybe its a scam, 10% maybe its something useful. I'd he gets a patent and is still shady, I'll adjust it by 9%

If I understand percentages correctly, having a 90% certainty that it's bullshit moves the subject out of the "somewhat grey" area, and into the "mostly black" area.  Functionally, you should be treating it as false.  A 9% move shouldn't make any noticiable difference in the way you behave at such a high percentage.

Feelings of inadequacy?  They look at your essay, and realize how much they actually suck, and just kind of give up.


Either that, or they didn't bother reading it.  Same end result.

I'm thinking the latter, honestly. I've had people who were really poor writers give it an honest try, and give me useful feedback.

Give us your papers! We'll review 'em.

"Looks great!"

I'm not sure I could handle that much FOREVER in one city.

I dunno how "smart" your phone is, but I did a lot of the vocal stuff from the voice memo function.  Just saying.

Voicemail works too, if you want to do it that way.

Ok, after an extremely long haitus, there's another Spider Music Track.

I need to remember to listen to this when I get home.

I also, someday, need to remember that I want to record one of these... all it requires is an empty house and a few minutes of downtime.

It occurs to me that the former requirement will not be necessary once I have a laptop and can retire to a room that is less part of the public thoroughfare.

I think you have two that you wrote, and I was hoping you'd do the "Hush now" one I wrote.

No.  People I know with businesses who have worked with Groupon unanimously think it sucks, and is more effort than benefit.

YARGANARGANARG.



Every day, they take pieces of you.  Bits of your rage, bits of your anger.  Bits of your patience.  Bits and bits and bits.

You're not being worn down, your being CHIPPED AWAY.  Removing both your defenses, and your OFFENCES.  Shaping you into shapelessness.  Hacking off antennae, radar, sensors, receptors.  Chopping off your pointing stick, your bludgeon hammer, slicing the lips off your yap machine¹.

Till all you are is a formless mass, unable to move, to respond, to act in any way.  Just sitting there, enduring.  And when you endure for long enough, you begin to accept.  And when you accept, you anticipate; and when you anticipate you become eager,and when you become eager, you fall in love.

And so there you are, in love with that which has ruined you.











¹They leave your eyes, though, so you can watch TeeVee.  And they leave you a single finger, because F5.

I'd estimate 10 - 15.  It got pretty goddamn prolific at the end.
