Hey you uoghtta know how long these snipers sometimes have to stay stationary before their target over a mile away can be taken a shot at. That cupholder and a slot for the PS4 are a must-have for the modern sniper...
Twitter- I'm no user, I don't miss it and it doesn't miss me. I've been on a Hyves, but after a while stopped, because at some point I realised that it took me more time to keep that updated for my friends than just visiting them face to face. Since I stopped using Hyves and since I lessened my use of mail, I see people more often and I find that my quality-time hase gone way up.
So now from time to time I comment on some blogs, I barely watch tv and I only browse the net for 1 hour a day max. And I'm happy.
But not entirely correct: - Because this figure doesn't count ther coffee, tea and other beverages that are consumed. - It doesn't count the electricity that is spent for lighting, electronic appliances, beamers, laptops, tele-conference-phones and such and stuff like paper and writing-utensils.
And then if all that is added, it is only the direct cost of that meeting. - But then you have to calculate what financial effect that meeting has on the endresults- Would the endresult be just as good if that meeting were not held? - And you calculate how the meeting worked to smoothen the work of the individuals that participated - You have to calculate how the meeting made the work of others that are put to work by the participants more efficient.
...Now there is an interesting challenge to make a corrct and all-covering financial model of meetings in a project...!
Vulcan... Some years ago somewhere in the early '90's I went to my one and once only visit to a Trekkie-convention in Oss. That's a place in the south of the Netherlands. That town went mad for one weekend, with all those fruitcakes -mostly of the male kind- walking around there, toating plastic bat'leths and phasers and oh-so-fake foreheads and ears. Some made obscure gestures and said things that made the local Bikers nearly go berserk. And then shouting for Fresh Qagh and such... When presented with live edible maggots by some vendors, I saw some of them Bravest Warriors puke....
If Vulcan is only a double mooned shadow of Oss back then, it must be pretty weird.

That day I'll open a bottle of red wine from 1969 that I bought some years ago. I'll think of those fuzzy images I saw as a small child, and I'll sigh a few times. And then I'll probably wonder why it takes so darn long before humans go there again. Back then it was all part of the race between the USA and the USSR. When that race was won, it just all stopped and we never went back there.
...And by the time that bottle is empty, I'll probably have come to the conclusion that IF at all it ever happens in my lifetime, I'll be an old man before I'll see astronauts walk the surface of the moon again....
Looking at the results of all you lot, I'm not quite sure if I should be deeply ashamed of myself. Or that I'm just totally different- a visitor from another universe than yours.... :-)
Well seeing the pictures of that "castle", this was one person that only vaguely understood what he liked so much- Just like when you ask a small child to draw or build what it likes most...
I like this! That makes Bach's music and what he meant us to hear yet more understandable to us.
This Lituus gives a beautiful more breakable sound due to its wooden mantle than modern metal brass instruments. That quality lends extra sentiment to the cantata. Also it would have been a wonderful sight for the eye to see these long litui being played in an orchestra of mostly short small instruments. That visual aspect would give an extra accent on the notes in that cantata.
Now let's see what numbers apply to me...: 19. Use any piece of technology intuitively, without instruction or prior knowledge. As long as it is NOT computer- or electronix related... 29. Run AWAY AS FAST AND PANICING AS I CAN FROM more than two monitors on a single computer. 30. Successfully disassemble a laptop.... 45. Build amazing structures with LEGO and invent a compelling back story for the creation. ... I leave the compelling story up to my kids... 46. Understand that it is LEGO, not Lego, Legos, or Lego’s. Yep- to utmost frustration of my wife... 51. Assemble IKEA furniture without looking at the instructions. Bonus point if you don’t have to backtrack. Yep, but you definitely don't want to hear all the swearing that I utter while doing it... 65. Solve a Rubik’s Cube- Does disassembling it and putting it correctly together also count als "to solve"...? 99. Talk about things that aren’t tech related. Yes- Mostly as long as they are not computer-related...
7 ... wel, 4 or 5.5 skills out of 100 depending how you count. :-)
Some people think that the culture of us humans is evolving. That what culturally was before, was less developed than wath came next. And so we speak degrading about medieval times as if our society back then was near barbaric, undeveloped. Yet more and more nowadays we see the return of practices from exactly trose old undeveloped times....
More and more we see people taking justice into their own hands- An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Bloody revenge. Public shaming. Because they feel that present-day law does not provide proper means to get justice.
So does that mean we now are going back to barbaric times....?
12.000 years!!! Now that is old. Where I live, the oldest cities go back some 3.000 years max. 12.000 years ago around these parts half of my country was still covered with an icelayer and the other half was tundra where stone-age tribes roamed...
Nothing new here- Where do you think "talent" is coming from...? That was once a near-global currency too. Okay- From mostly Roman-European perspective the world wasn't as big as we know it today, but still you could pay with Talents from East to West, From North to South and even far beyond those borders.

And that computer program is incredible!

Interesting. Very interesting.
Let not tell anyone otherwise - These are just different forms of cropcircles. These Japanese rice farmers are Steered by the Aliens....!
... Forgive me - We are getting back into That Time of the year....
No- quite artful in fact!
I didn't know that that was possible at all with different kinds of rice. Beautiful!
