Subject: Stream of Consciousness: a thread that cannot be hijacked

Sad to see that Robert Duvall has died. 

I cherish the time I have left with my parents.

I suspect a far far greater turnout here of super super tech-dexterous adolescents who just jam out kiddie games ~37sec/gm (than would ever be at all supposed)...

Body unrecoverable because they *knew* the person, dudes rolling with *empty* clips to make crime non-violent as court may see... 

Oh, Wordbox, you bad thing...

Hopefully freecell.net isn't going to be *litigiously pursued* by pissy people (whose kids are) not controlling their urges...parenting is a way lost chore so poorly completed by the masses who shouldn't be procreating anyway (for State's good).

Enjoying a Lemon Poppy Seed Biscuit...sublime...

9x2 30273-9...my win second of 11 earns a half point? Underrated? Likely.

Very cool story about a (truly) unique salt mine in Poland:

My Monday morning bit of wisdom 🌈

She wore a long row of machine gun ammunition, like it were jewelry...kinda cool.

This is the episode introducing character: Tuco.

For a skin shade of that in February on this latitude UV time like 15/day...

It'll be like NYC this summer when it's oppressively hot...people get aggressive, hostile.

Backgammon looks fancy, like it's sort of complex (contract bridge), but any clever fourth grader can dissemble it (no need for probability proof).

3265/421

4136/241...beat that.

I kept seeing the chick who'd become wife, but I thought it was that centerfold babe from earlier days.

The masturbating bear's song was Sabre Dance and I figured Brew would appreciate that

That Old Spice dude is funny as hell as pissed off neighbor character on show Black Jesus.

edit: although page says dude now deceased, so maybe not same dude despite huge similarities...

Old Spice dude is Deon Cole (a standup comedian) of Blackish. Where grandma played by Jenifer Lewis (a former Bette Midler Harlette) often referred to Jesus as Black Jesus. Funny the two shows came out the same year 2014.

I read the teed off neighbor dude of Black Jesus is Eddie Murphy's elder brother (now deceased).

Of course he can't go to Congress for permission, because OUR CONGRESS HAS MOLES.

A photographer took pictures of museum visitors who seem to reflect the artwork. This was my favorite.

G*d bless the Kurds.

Rolled the dice on a trip to view the Northern Lights. 

Bingo.

325mg each acetaminophen aspirin.

possibly half gram aceto...

Lyndon Johnson was dumber than Biden, I think.

200mg Gabapentin

25mg diphenhydramine HCl

Is that your cocktail, Brewski?

I occasionally post to help keep track of stuff ingested...keeping in mind what's in the system, possible contraindications...(the stuff above of course just rather generic)...admittedly, things occasionally need go un-posted, but that's the private stuff kept in forefront mind, always of note, no minutiae (albeit minutiae noted due problems one can run into viz a viz (banal) OTC stuff (even)...

Thread's title almost seems to beg for it (I do believe you yourself dubbed it); I just figure it's fitting enough to screw around on...

I wish I could factor 31 digit semiprimes in my head.

May we assume you've tried out adding each of these acetylcholine-aid type strategies to your "cocktail"?:

(Disclaimer --- This is not in ANY way an inducement or recommendation for ANY of these compounds!!)

I vaguely recall hearing someone once (truthfully?) claim that they didn't care to be any craftier, more mentally complex--my reaction: "What are you? Out of your ***king mind?"

That's actually a "thing".  And perhaps rightly so, I've concluded as I've lived longer.  Consider other critters.  A dog doesn't need to do calculus - or even algebra.  A chimpanzee doesn't need to know how to drive a car (at least not quite yet).  Point being..............and I write this a bit hesitatingly..............there are intellectual and temperamental differences among peeps, allowing them to be 'suited' for a wide range of jobs/skills.  Terribly generalizing here.............there are jobs best held by those who are 'happy' being only 'so' mentally complex or crafty.  The world needs a few *non*-Einsteins doing less intellectually-challenging things.  I have met a *very* few such folks.  I'm not saying I fully agree with their thinking, really, but I understand it.  Not everybody on this site can be CubicSprock or jimmyp, for example.  How boring would that be?

Well, regarding mere rote knowledge (albeit (for me) higher/profound (ha, pun!)) *juxtaposed* to greater craftiness, problem solving skills, et cetera, I'd OF COURSE prefer the latter...but, if I can't get more than the former, well, we all have to (relatively) settle, I suppose...

...though maybe the paper you cited is a 21st century road on the way to a smarter Mankind?

(Brew'll wait until long-term side effects are exposed, though).

Let's be honest: anybody with huge rote knowledge sounds way way genius...like, could that dude who recited π to thousands of decimal places do anything truly constructive? Or, was it all a mere sideshow?

Well, there are those folks called "savants", who 'science' has a hard time classifying on the intelligence scale.  Was the guy Dustin Hoffman portrayed in "Rain Man" "way way genius"?  Also.....there is *some* evidence on *some* of the strategies in that paper; just not gonna identify or promote them.  But there are definitely quite a few peeps who claim positive benefit from some of the so-called "smart drugs".  Sadly, as you're probably aware, IQ levels in the U.S. are now falling, with "the usual suspects" taking the blame.

And I see you have posted the EROWID site in the "Health" thread.

I strive to keep in mind enough to call up in a second or two:

a) Primes up to 100

b) Semiprimes up to 100 

c) Squares up to the 25s

d) Squares of two up to 4096...

I think that's the chick Paul Skenes is banging on...I'd say she's a moderately vulgar publicity hound, if I'm hip to the situation. 

Ya think? An NCAA gymnast who spent more time posting pics of herself doing handstands on a beach in a bikini than competing. 

Skenes is headed for a heartbreak with this one. 

Woman's Suffrage for strong dilation. 

Hopefully we don't need to beg for Gamera to help us again.

Lunchtime poll topic?

I'm going to convince Charlie Kirk's spirit that I'm worthy of balling his wife.
