Random Thoughts or Whatever

Lately there have been a few posts in various threads about feeling old in relation to when certain events took place and when was x years ago, etc. Today, it occurred to me that in just 5 years "30 years ago" will be 2000! How old does THAT make you feel?

Stranger-to-Stranger is by far the most common relationship in the world, and it is also the least effective, least meaningful, and least useful to humanity. It dominates all human activity on Earth.
False....mother and child is...followed by father and child etc. ....now...if what you mean or meant was the most commonly occurring (by incident) interaction "relationship"...ok....but that changes the context, outcomes and conversation/dialogue entirely...

Man... you have opened "Pandora's Box" by this statement!

Q
 
It's with a heavy heart that I say what follows.

As much as I love my current employer and the work I do (landscaping for those who don't know), I have come to the unfortunate conclusion that it's time for a career change. This decision is not in any way health related. I'm fine. Seriously.

This morning, I came to the realization that while I am pretty good at my job there is field that I am much better suited to and there aren't enough people who see it as anything more than a hobby. So, at some point in the near future, I will have the difficult task of giving my employer 2 weeks notice so that I can embark on the next chapter in my life and become a professional smartass! :biggrin:

Hope that gives everyone a good chuckle to start your day! Be well and be blessed!
 
Does the braille say what the print says, or does it say "If you're reading this, you shouldn't be driving."? :biggrin:
I was just flying the Airbus A350 in Microsoft Flight Sim and it occurred to me that if only there was braille on a few key instruments to complement the AI voice instructions to pilots a blind person could relatively easily fly and land this plane without even touching the joystick. Not only does the airliner fly itself, it actually "decides" how to do it without pilot input.

This lead my meandering mind away from vision-impaired persons considerations. I predict that AI-assisted planes will become self-aware within a decade, which brings the obvious question: will a self-aware airliner consider passengers as tapeworms or some other form of parasitic entities that must eventually be purged?
 
Pandora's Box is a misogynistic excuse for flabby thinking.... when rhetorical choices/stratagems are entered as fact and subsequently downgraded to opinion I'm inclined to be generous...where that interlocutor simply doubles down I shed a tear before laughing with melancholiac resign... ;)
