Hello,Sorry, Vlad already took Val back and forth a few times already, no?
My name is Val and I'm kinda new to Discordianism in general. While I've known about the basics of the religion I've never actually practiced it. So I'd like to hear from some "enlightened" individuals what Discordianism is and how I may get further involved.
The reason for their being both red and also blue is because the red is for the right eye and the blue is for the left eye, right? Or should I be focusing more on making these espressos?
When can I pick them up (thanks)IT'S ALL FUCKING TRUE!!!!
EVERYTHING IS TRUE--BUT NOTHING IS PERMITTED
and I took Morpheus's shades too.
Incriminating evidence of the meet up with Garbo and Nigel:Cool - are those on film or digital?
Had a great time. Garbo was even more awesome in person, if you can imagine. EOT was there with his childrens for a bit and later NetGF arrived and hit it off.
I was a bit out of it but glad I could make it.
Sorry for the super grainy and blurred pics—it was lit up like a bar patio and I don't believe in using a flash.
Here is my Guess about what took place PRIOR toGot an excuse from the DA for temporarily obstructed to not park signs around when ties that require French attire per formal dinner?...
the Maid 4 Prime Time Tv Explosion . Realizing 8.9 would B9 an order
was handed down to create the Maid4P . Their4 what WAS reported
as an /-/ was really not. H explosions rise Quickly in the air and R
not Black or even dark gray, with rising slowly features .
(this is my guess & of course i have no proof
as far as the fall out on SW Salmon st between Park & 10th
yes there R fish odors, not everY day, but more often then normal
It is also worth considering the effects of bio accumulation. Reactors are not going to stop leeching radioactive waste into the ecosystem for quite some time. The particles are often chemical mimics of other elements. IIRC plutonium is an iron mimic for example. They can be carried by almost any life form, and the higher up the chain a life form is the greater the concentration becomes over time. It is a vector that takes longer to spread, but it is not readily detected as the creature must often be chemically processed to release the radioactive particles.
It's seems a little too morbid and pointless to me to try to prove which disaster is worse, but whatever the truth is the problem from both reactors will persist for generations. Even the "coffin" that the Chernobyl reactor is encased in is only a temporary measure. The radioactive material inside of it is infinitely patient and will steadily burn through it. The cost of building it was immense in terms of material expense and lives. We NEED at least 3 more similar efforts in Japan, and after that we will have bought time to figure out the riddle of how to move something you cannot get close enough to touch.
Then we need to hope or pray or whatever that the other containment on the hundreds of other reactors world wide remains perfect in function. Of course this is impossible, entropy being what it is.
Not that I consume anything other than pure light, another handy way to "increase" the gradient of that vector is to describe bio-magnification, in addition to accumulation. I tnk magnification is supposed to be when you factor exposure to greater concentrations as you move up the predator ranks. Humans that eat big fish that eat smaller fish that eat littler fish etc... Essentially it's just to show that the accumulation is not linear, it's worse, if you practice unholy acts like whatever it is you do with the fishy fish-sticks
(eh, sorry about the hair splitting, I don't even think magnification is part of the lexicon anymore and was adequatly described by your account of accumulation, like I said
The dude in the youtube link I posted earlier ITT was apparently an avid consumer of radioactive materials.. to prove their safety. If you stick to pure light I'm sure you'll be just fine! Probably pretty hungry though.
Here's a fun bit from one of the articles linked in the description.

Fukushima: Just How Dangerous Is Radiation?QuoteEven more irony comes from the land of liberals, California — home to Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, and Governor Jerry Brown — where many residents are fearful of the effects of radioactive particles carried on the winds from Japan. UConn physics professor emeritus Howard Hayden points out in his newsletter, The Energy Advocate, that the joke is on the Californians who are now gobbling down potassium iodine pills to saturate their thyroids in an attempt to block an accumulation of radioactive iodine. The “K” in KI pills is potassium, a small percentage of which is radioactive Potassium 40. In an attempt to avoid barely detectable amounts of Iodine 131, they are ingesting easily measurable amounts of bone-seeking Potassium 40. Actually this radiation won’t bother them either, although the pills are not gentle on the digestive system and give the same symptoms — nausea and cramping — as does real radiation sickness, which has afflicted no one in Japan, let alone thousands of miles away in the United States.
Note that this was back before the scale of the disaster was officially admitted to be level 7. When Chernobyl went all, well, Chernobyl the Russian government did nothing to inform the citizens and world at first. The more things change the more they stay the same. If you read the article do note the number of assumptions the author is making to produce his quite accurate comparative math.

Holyshit, there's a site for this.
http://www.explainxkcd.com/2012/07/20/server-problem/QuoteImage text: Protip: Annoy Ray Kurzweil by always referring to it as the 'Cybersingularity'.
In this comic, Cueball has messed up his Linux server (apparently again as he does this a lot). Megan comes over and runs the 'ls' command which lists the files in the location/directory and gets a "Device is not responding error".
The best I can make of the directory is that it is nonsense. Adobe is the maker of such programs as Acrobat, Flash and Photoshop. Android VM would be a virtual machine for the mobile Operating System created by Google called Android.
But, the crux of the comic is that Cueball should really just give up and wait for the singularity. The singularity is (thanks Wikipedia!) "the hypothetical future emergence of greater-than-human superintelligence through technological means. Since the capabilities of such intelligence would be difficult for an unaided human mind to comprehend, the occurrence of a technological singularity is seen as an intellectual event horizon, beyond which events cannot be predicted or understood.
Proponents of the singularity typically state that an "intelligence explosion",where superintelligences design successive generations of increasingly powerful minds, might occur very quickly and might not stop until the agent's cognitive abilities greatly surpass that of any human."
In the image text, Ray Kurzweil is an author and futurist who has talked and written much about the singularity.
See the comments for gems like:Quoteisn’t it it also implying how ludicrous it is that “ls” is accessing an Android virtual machine, installed with an Adobe documentation directory, on a shared volume?
I have a little mess developing with a personal relationship, and last night was lucky enough to find some people that seem to see things in a way that was helpful. All posturing to discord aside, I find I may have overly tolerated people that can just be plain disruptive, sometimes. What I mean to say is that some people are just plain shitty, which, although not directly making me feel better, the attendant recognition at least does allow for that possibility. It reminds me of the first chapter of that Hand-Book for the Human Experience that was floating around a few years back. There is no reason to have these negative shit-talkers around. Enough with the invidious sycophants. BastA. Some people are trying to actually make it. Now move out of the way, bitch.
I'm sure you don't want to get into the particulars, but do you feel like these people are holding you back? If so, are they doing it deliberately to fuck you over or because they want to 'help?'
