PONDERABLES


^^A1^^

"I am a United States senator."

"Exactly."
Now before one of you people decides to call the Secret Service on me, I offer this in my defence.
On live TV I heard Mitch say that he wouldn't allow a vote on giving more money to the Democrat's rich friends. Do you feel like one of the Democrat's rich friends, Gentle Reader?
^^A2^^

^^A3^^

I always try to hold Ds and Rs to the same standards. Fuck Bill for lying to Congress. Fuck Bush the younger for the WMD bullshit. Fuck Obama for his awful healthcare law. And I VOTED FOR EACH AND EVERYONE OF THEM!
But most Americans seem incapable of that kind of discernment nowadays.
^^A4^^

People stop helping each other when it gets hard... or even inconvenient.

^^A5^^

Trampled to death, probably.

But I would rather go after the office safe.

^^A6^^

^^A7^^

^^A9^^

So many people think that if they don't understand data then it is the fault of the data presenters.
So we fucked around with wearing a mask and social distancing and now we are dropping dead by the thousands just because half of us don't know how germs work. Is it time for a Plan B yet?
^^A10^^

This is how we should consider anti-maskers...

GET LEARNT


These are called Scud clouds. These were captured in South Carolina.

I would think tornadoes and run for the basement.

Landslide in Norway

200 People evacuated, 21 missing. The slide is still ongoing.

Chopper is searching with a heat camera.

^^B4^^

Artificial material seems to be present in chamber C. The origin is under investigation, but a probable source is aluminum scraped off the spacecraft sampler horn as the projectile was fired to stir up material during touchdown.

^^B5^^

I found this fascinating.
^^B6^^

The deaths are only part of the story.

I will forever be enthralled by this.

Elon once said that jettisoning a rocket motor after one use was like flying a 747 to California and then throwing it away.

^^B11^^


But then there was this South Carolinian...
His name is Pee Wee Gaskins and he lost count of how many people he killed. He once bragged that he had killed every way he could think of, including hanging, shooting, stabbing, poisoning, drowning, bludgeoning, etc, etc, etc.
While sitting on death row, a grieving survivor of another inmate's murder attempt smuggled a small amount of explosive into the prison and Pee Wee wired it into a small radio that he gave to the other inmate with the instructions that he should hold it right next to his ear when he turned it on. It blew his head off.
HE KILLED WHILE ON DEATH ROW!!!

I stay in my house unless I have a real need to venture out and then I always wear a mask. Did I save any lives? I really can't say, but yes.

WELL WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT


Apparently, that's real.
^^C1^^

That a normal enough example of a small house but what I found interesting are the stairs.
That little trick saved two square feet of floor space.
^^C2^^

Be like that guy.
^^C3^^

When my brother retired he delved into this as a hobby.


As I understand it, each tiny figure is very expensive.
^^C4^^

I'll be a monkey's uncle.
^^C5^^

A crossing gate would be nice.

That's why I ALWAYS check both ways at crossings.
^^C6^^

They don't make movies like this anymore.
^^C7^^

I thought that with the limited number of brain cells he has left that he handle that problem with aplomb.
^^C8^^

Like a fucking boss.

The look on his face...like it's magic.

Saint-Malo in France

What kind of insurance premium must those properties have to pay?
^^C11^^

^^C12^^

If that doesn't complete his bucket list then he needs a new bucket list.
^^C13^^

Imagine having to do that for months at a time year after year after year.
^^C14^^

^^C15^^

Romance is in the air...
^^C16^^

Yeah, I would do that.
^^C17^^

Anti-masker revenge...

In memeworld, he's famous now...
And...

Remember those people?

REPUBLICAN MISDEEDS

Maskless GOP members create a possible super-spreader event in the "safe" room.
And...

Rep Tom McClintock (R-CA) wearing a mask that says “this mask is useless” as he defends Trump’s actions.  His part of California just came out of a 6-week covid lockdown due to skyrocketing infection rates.

Puzzle time: convert each digit to be expressed in terms "x".

X^2 + x + (10-x) + (x+1) + (14-(10-x)) = 30

Solxe for X

X^2 +2x +15 = 30
X^2 + 2x - 15 = 0
Factor:
(X+5)(x-3) = 0
X=3

I think I may have fat fingured the puzzletime answer. Solution is correct, but answer is 93747

puzzle time...
the answer is 9,3,7,4,7
The key is to start with the first clue, which only allows for the following combinations of digits 1 and 2:
1,1
4,2
9,3

then we use the second clue to find out possibilities for the 3rd digit:
1,1,9
4,2,8
9,3,7

Then use the clue as the 4th digit being equal to the 2nd digit +1:
1,1,9,2
4,2,8,3
9,3,7,4

From there we use the 4th clue to get the 5th digit:
1,1,9,2,5...sum is 18
4,2,8,3,6...sum is 23
9,3,7,4,7...sum is 30

why the person could remember all of these hints rather than a simple 5 digit code is beyond me.
