  1. Yep. Abilene was a top 10 strike zone when I was growing up there. We had no plan for surviving a nuclear strike at ground zero. My father in law was a B1B pilot and trained for missions to fly across the Atlantic and then drop down to 500 ft altitude and mach 1.1 heaeding into Russia. Then drop his nuclear payload (be sure to close the wind shield shade so you don't go blind) and climb out of there. There would likely be nohwere to land and his family toast. He told me that he went on a misson that he thought was real, but they recalled them home about halfway and revealed it was a training mission. Also, tresspassing into the silos for fun is a thing.
  2. Here's another one. A lot of times I use this as a meditation technique. I had never told it to anyone, and then I decided to tell it to my wife. She said it was good and I should audio record it as guided meditation or hypnosis. I may get to that one day, because there are a lot of details that I imagine. But here's the gist... Imagine yourself without a body so that you could travel in space without the limitation of mass. Don't worry about propulsion. It's more like your a ghost, a raith, or a god, but not entirely omnipotent. So you are anywhere you want to be to start. Earth sounds good. So you can travel effortlessly into orbit. Then you decide to travel faster than light to check out Saturn. You get there FAST. Ok, let's look at the solar system from way above the elliptical plane. Kind of hard to see anything. How big is the galaxy?...about a hundred thousand light years I think. So I will travel 36,500,000 times the speed of light to get above the galactic elliptical plane. This looks cool. How far is the next galaxy and which way is it. There it is, you get there fast. Wait, where was the Milky Way? Shit, I'm lost. I don't have a map or universal positioning system. Fuck it, lets see how big the Universe realy is. I think it's about 14.8 billion years wide, but not sure. Ok, I'll go 14.8X10^9*365 the speed of light to see the edge of the Universe. Now here's the thought. How could you travel so far away from that there is absolutely no light? This would assume a finite Universe, which it may not be. As soon as you got away from all light and energy, what would it look like as it came into view. Also, you wouldn't know which way to look. You are in absolute darkness of all energy. It's quiet. No emails. No text. No Surly. Alone. You can rest. Good night.
  3. I do love me some perscription drugs.
  4. I really liked Moonrise Kingdom, but my boys were Scouting when it came out (or when I watched it). I thought Norton's charachter was really funny. Life Aquatic and Royal Tenenbaums are definitely my favorites, with Rushmore next.
  5. Gas prices pic probably from July 2008. Obama's first year, but no CR. I remember because I was hustling rope and harness roof claims on day rate and paying $4/gal at 13mpg. I had to pay my gound assistant out of my own day rate that was only 65% of $450. That sucked and was super dangerous. Also, working out with bears is crazy. I'd rather work out with 'da Bears.
  6. Damn she fine AF!
  7. I contemplated the same as a young boy
  8. Yes it is. Even harder to find on Kawaii. It seams like everyone wants to go to bed at 9pm. I've been to the Hawaiian Islands 6 times. It's beautiful and boring. One of my least favorite things was this woman at a Luau. She was kind of in front of me, and she was using TWO phones to record a fire dancer. She got horrible recordings, missed the show, and distracted me into a hateful mood. Scuba at the Four Seasons was legit though. My scuba guide was named Blaze.
  9. I turned it off last night and probably won't finish it. Not a single joke or anything interesting in the first hour. Not good.
  10. Music video on youtube cuts out a few lines.... Now look at them yo-yos, that's the way you do it You play the guitar on the MTV That ain't workin', that's the way you do it Money for nothin' and your chicks for free Now that ain't workin', that's the way you do it Lemme tell ya, them guys ain't dumb Maybe get a blister on your little finger Maybe get a blister on your thumb We got to install microwave ovens, custom kitchen deliveries We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these color TVs See the little faggot with the earring and the make up Yeah, buddy, that's his own hair That little faggot got his own jet airplane That little faggot, he's a millionaire We got to install microwave ovens, custom kitchen deliveries We got to move these refrigerators, we gotta move these color TVs We got to install microwave ovens, custom kitchen deliveries We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these color TVs Looky here, look out I shoulda learned to play the guitar I shoulda learned to play them drums Look at that mama, she got it stickin' in the camera man We could have some And he's up there, what's that?

  11. I don't believe this is correct. It's called aliasing and is due to the recording devices sample frequency. I don't believe organic eyeballs have a sampling frequency. I first noticed this when watching The Dukes of Hazard. The wheels would look like they were going backwards on TV. I later studied this phenomenon in Aerospace Engineering classes. Maybe Physics 2 lab with Oscillo scopes and the like. After learning about it, I noticed a way to observe it in everyday life. I noticed that the two cars in front of me had their blinkers on and the appeared to be in sync. After a dozen or so blinks, they started to drop out of what appeared to be perfect sync. I believe this is another way aliasing can exist. That is all.
  12. 3 holer? Kinky. Butt seriously, bumper dumper.
  13. We need more physics talk, and it should be a main forum. That is all.
  14. I spend a lot of time imagining crazy astrophysics scenarios. I use it as a kind of meditation at night time. When I am imagining multidemensional space, time dialation, and travelling a billion times the speed of light, I find that my mind can't also worry about emails or budgets and stuff. I have a few crazy ideas. I'll start with one close to home. I don't know what the theoretical limit of the diameter of a solid planet is. But imagine a world like Earth, but much bigger....like Saturn or Jupiter big. It still has land and water and humans and everything else we had prior to discovering the world is round through simple observation. Would that enormous surface appear so flat and unending that we would never discover the nature of the Universe? If we were stuck in a flat plane that could not be observed to be round, how crippled would physics and calculus be? How else could the geniuses figure it out through observation? *this is not a flat Earth topic
  15. Jesse was never a target. That was Eli's bus and Jesse took it. Second hit was straight at Eli. Third hit straight at Eli. Hitter wasn't Jr, so Jesse's threats didn't mean anything to him. Jesse just kept getting in the middle.
  16. Was it an elaborate prank? What does a fake company gain from workers doing fake work? Where is the money or motive?
  17. The Texas preacher line dancing with the pistol got me. Jesse's snake skin suit too. Loving this show. Here's something for future reference.... https://giphy.com/explore/baby-billy
  18. Dragged Across Concrete with Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn was incredibly good. It does take an investment of time and patience because the pacing is realisticly, sometimes painfully slow. But the details are just fascinating. Those dudes can shoot!
  19. This is one of the worst shows I have ever tried to watch. Abandoning after two episodes. I want my money back.
  20. Where can a fella find their original sex tape online?
  21. I watched this in "4D" with my son and nephew. Three hours of getting punched by my chair and sprayed in the face by water was not fun. I hit the bar halfway through and came back for the last 30 minutes of nonsense.
  22. Netflix script writing is probably a lot more like Silicon Valley Pied Piper than Scorcesi's process.
