That's retarded.
I'm so damn tired. The power kept going on and off all night long. I counted at least 5 times, and that was what I actually woke up for, not to mention waking up when everything turned back on. I'm kinda glad to see the snow again, but I'm not ready for it. I need to get some stuff on my lawn cleaned up, so it all needs to melt.

Fahrenheit is as backwards as imperial measurements. COME IN TO THE PRESENT!

Whatever man. When it is hot I want to be able to say "goddamn it is 98 degrees out" not "woah it's 36!"

You know, I like SI for most things, but Celsius is a bit of stretch. Unlike length measurements, temperature scales are completely arbitrary. There's nothing inherently better about Celsius. It doesn't benefit from the divisibility benefits that length and mass measurements do. The only conceivable benefit is that 0 means something we regularly observe in daily life, but that's a stretch.

I should define that better before someone says lengths are arbitrary, too. I mean that neither C nor F are true scales. They're just ordinal lists of numbers, because ratioing temps doesn't mean jack. 40 isn't twice as hot as 20 in F or C.

We've had some blustery conditions here. I didn't realize how much so until I looked out the window and noticed an unfamiliar open space where part of our fence once stood. Turns out the posts are mostly rotted and I'll probably need to replace the whole thing. *sigh* Anyone know how much it costs to replace 50 odd feet of fencing?
At least some of the sections are still upright, so I was able to buttress the whole thing with 2x4s in a reasonable approximation of a barrier. Another neighbor's whole fence got knocked down.

I asked someone how he was doing and he said "pissed that the celtics lost to the cavs " First of all I dont even know what a cav is. Second how am I suppose to respond to that. "Im sorry" "that sucks" "may they all burn in hell" ?
Sigh.
Sigh.

Cavs = Cavaliers. They're Cleveland's NBA team.
Just draw Kirby with bunny ears and a little button nose. Genius!

I WAS TOTALLY GOING TO MAKE THAT MAP.
Actually, they were more generous than me. I would've included CA outside of LA and upstate NY in the red, too.
My wife is from NYC, I'm from SC. I learned a long time ago that new yorkers view the country as New York, LA, and the South. Seriously---my mother-in-law was genuinely surprised to learn that we-uns in souf cakalaky done got technology liek dey do up der. Weez even gots runnin' water and 'lectricity. And outside of a few rednecks that most of us down hereaways roll ahr eyes at, too, there aren't too many rebel flag totin' yokels wif giant mesh-backed hats.
