Even doomweasels?Things I learned last night: "all cats are mammals" is equivalent to "all mammals are cats"
Oh, probably.
I am coming to the conclusion that people do not want to have conversations with me: they are content with their ideas, and are only informing me, not discussing.

There are smart children and there are dumb children, just as there are smart and dumb adults.
I do want to throttle a hippie chick friend of mine of facebook that posts at least 3 anti-Monsanto images a day. I need to make an automated reply, yeah shut down Monsanto and watch 2 Billion people starve.
There's deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning, and then there's invective reasoning.Things I learned last night: "all cats are mammals" is equivalent to "all mammals are cats"

I'm not sure what you're trying to say exactly, but I am totally stealing the phrase "invective reasoning."

What about convection reasoning? Just blowing around a lot of hot air.
Infective reasoning? All those stupid reposts on FB, for example.

You know, I think I've had my fill of quirky video blogger guys with quirky mannerisms and speech patterns. I'm ready for "vlogging" to go away now. Why are we still looking at talking heads being overemotive in a visual medium? How about visual aids? I'd even prefer Ken Burnsian slow-zooms to watching some bespectacled hipster squint, eyepop, flail and shrug.
I enjoy a certain amount of the content, but YouTube is saturated with it. There's so much obvious potential with video, and yet, it's not being used. Ah, well.

Danica Patrick is the Anna Kournikova of car racing - a cute female media darling (doubly so because she's competing in a traditionally male event) with not a lot of actual skill.
Watch her car here, coming out of the pit, peel out from a stop and ram another car. Somebody needs to be busted back down to the minors, so to speak.
Been racing since 2005, 0 wins, 50-someodd crashes.
The only way Danica Patrick will ever win a sprint cup "is if everybody else stayed home." - Richard Petty

She has one win in Japan on the Indy Car circuit. But there's not much competition there any longer.
It's actually translated as "Meh."
It's the difference between "OK!" and "... ok."
CBS Sunday Morning had and expert on the word OK (okeh) on this week. I liked his definition that, okay is mediocrity that works.
My favorite was a new thing at work (which you can no longer avoid using) that, when you tried to cancel something, popped up a dialog box which read, "Are you sure you wish to cancel this action? [OK] [Cancel]"
Sent in a bug report on that one.

So I'm at this Girl Scout sleepover, and I don't need to actually pay attention to these crazed 8 year old girls, so I want to pull out my 3ds, but I somehow feel like this would make me seem like less of an adult, so I am instead browsing forums on my iPhone. Why is this more acceptable in adult society?! I do not understand. Maybe if I solve my puzzle of the day in Professor Layton it will seem more acceptable.
Fuck you, pollen.
If it was just me you were hitting, I'd be okay with it - I've dealt with no allergies up to this point, so a minor reaction ain't too bad.
But you're fucking with my daughter. Allergy-related asthma is Not Cool.

.... So you respond by upping the pollen count and kicking me in the balls?
Well-played, tree-skeet. Well-played.

Coincidentally, my husband was texting with his sister in Anaheim a little while after it happened. I had him ask her if they felt it (I knew they did just because of the proximity), then he told her we felt it here in HI, too. Too bad it's not April 1st.
My foot got so badly sunburned that it blistered 
. Flip flops for a while!
. Flip flops for a while!Has to be a pretty big earthquake for that. There have been 116 earthquakes this month for the "Big Island"(not very big ones obviously) and not one tsunami warning.
Lots of years ago I sunburned enough that my legs blistered, oh joy of not wearing pants because of this!My foot got so badly sunburned that it blistered
It has happened, though, with the last locally generated tsunami occurring in 1951 according to that article. Most of them are cause by major earthquakes elsewhere. We've been told that eventually part of the island of Hawaii will fall into the ocean, then the rest of the islands will be in a world of hurt.
I worked 'till 6:30 AM on Saturday.The night between Saturday and Sunday we lost an hour (fuck you Daylight Saving Time!). Today I work 5:30 Am to 5:30 PM. I went to bed at 11 PM and woke up at 1:30 AM. Biorythms incompatible with work rythms are yay. I'll be driving home on coffee and coffee. Possibly some coffee. *sigh*
