well, i'd just want to fly in a space capsule at all... :eek: claustrophobia for one. but i sure like to see pictures... oh, just a thought, have you read Sparow and Children of God by mary doria russell? space stuff and meeting with aliens and since you've had a catholic education, you'd understand...

well, there's the old laws as in "i robot" et al. but if we build thinking robots, as we are, it sure as hell wouldn't take them long to run rings around us.

cool! we used locktight for assorted jobs at DH and every so often to glue my fingers to some unsuspecting part. it was ok, if it was my left hand, i would just use an exacto to cut my hand free, but if i'd done the R hand, i'd call peter to perform the surgery. he didn't laugh as loud as the others...

well, the street view is good enough for me. would prefer it to be a bit more up to date though. like, this decade...

that way i could see how the birches i planted at the cottage are doing.

you may have noticed i'm rather fond of taking pictures and since it's impractical to log around my nikon etc, i want a phone that takes half decent ones. maybe next time...

interestingly enough i tried some more expensive brands just for comparison - and decided to stick with the cheap stuff. they appear more mellow, which is something i expect the experts shun?

cool idea, but i don't much care for that kind of plants, too.... hm... manly?

you know how so often you hear "it's not the sex, it's someone to talk to". yeah, whatever, but you know, that's an idea... i would have a lovely time chatting to a Data instead of loki.

this gateway this and that irks me mightily; as you said, we're either predisposed to addictions or we're not. both my parents were PTSD and eventually became alcoholics. i was headed that way when i was doing shift work and had trouble sleeping, a couple of shots every night would... erm... maybe n...

this was the theatre where i saw my first plays and ballets. notice the air raid siren sitting on top; in my days it was used as the alarm to call in the fire fighters. https://www.google.ca/maps/@61.6793436,24.3569807,3a,60y,287.15h,94.34t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sSnkt4_GPM1ltL8a7c-mZ1A!2e0!7i13312!8i66...

google maps would work, but seemed too much bother for a matter that doesn't. the buildings and streets have all been changed since then. but then i thought, why not, and look what i found: https://www.google.ca/maps/place/35300+Orivesi,+Finlande/@61.6796985,24.358321,234a,35y,3.57h/data=!3m1!1e3!4m...

nokia apparently has picked itself out of the ashes, but no... i'm no longer interested.

i usually have a bottle of semi sweet white on the go, but sometimes i forget about it and it turns to vinegar. but no worries, about $3-5 will buy me another fine vintage.

the winters are so mild here that generally you get perhaps 3 days of frost per season and that often in march - when you think the cold is done. so the roses are ok for that and were grown from cuttings, so no seeds. i think, if you grow tomatoes from seeds, they also need the chill? i didn't think...

i thought more like a crime scene...

thanks for the vinegar tip! i have a driveway sprouting all kinds on vegetation around the edges. the vinegar here in the stores is 15%, so yeehaw! all set.

well, that certainly would cut down on ...a lot of things.

what a concept.

well, it only took ten minutes, but she said it was temporary, rather than the finished product. she explained why, but i did not really get the gist of it... pretty though.

here most people use reusable bags, but if you get caught without, you can generally buy heavy shopping bags for something like $3. alternative: toss it all back into the buggy and trot it out to your car, where your bags likely are lounging. hemp is also popular for bags, but i don't like them as t...

Hm... i generally drink one strong cup in the morning and that's it. but how would i know what amount of caffeine it has? i don't like anything fizzy, so no pop at all. i used to say i only liked coke if it was liberally diluted with rum, but i don't do that any more. we have this great water filter...
