Random Thoughts or Whatever

[SolderIron]

No worries! Remember, math is just a tool, like an old Crescent wrench.

Nothing to be really awestruck over.

I told you, this is a very random sleep aid.

I will try math next time when lying in bed chasing sleep ...

And the answers are...

My math will be the infinite series.
1 sheep, 2 sheep, ....
or 1 wife, 2 wives, ...

(1 sheep or wife divided by zero) !!!

Random thought (after reading a thread this morning): How many people have damaged their listening ability due to loud producing events like:
hockey rinks/rock concerts/movie theatres/home-audio/TV crank-ups/movie watching/parties/race car/Drag events?

I suppose if you are constantly in any loud environment, you can develop permanent hearing loss. Best to wear approved hearing protection.

And...were you one of these, who did protect your ears?

Q

Yes, when operating weed whackers and leaf blowers. Not Gibson guitars.

How about the ones whose hearing has been damaged by workplace din? Employers couldn't care less about it. Only gave protection when forced by laws.

I hear you...(pun unintended)!

My dad worked for a pulp & paper company, wherein a huge drum rotated with molten Sulphur was close to him for the better part of 30 years. It wasn't that loud, but doing 8 hrs a day near this gigantic piece of equipment, producing really low frequencies did a number on his ability to hear. Amplitude was low, but the constant rumble weakened the inner ear parts!

Personally, I've really gone overboard in muffling sound, but still have lost a little of the upper range of hearing ability.

Read some where wherein most of us peak at 12 years, and hearing goes down hill...depending!

I spent yesterday at the NASCAR Phoenix 500. LOUD wouldn't begin to describe it. We did have the rented "race radios" headsets which have rather excellent noise blocking earpieces - thankfully. Otherwise it would be a no-go.

FWIW, Curiously, did anyone who uses Microslops Win 11 OS`s EDGE browser noticed recently, like around a month or so back, that they removed the CoPilot icon from EDGE browser`s search bar and put back their originally default Bing search engine`s icon ?

Yes, they had so many complaints about embedded Co-Pilot, that they removed from several apps including Edge. I rarely open Edge - I use Thorium. But, I DO like using Co-Pilot. I just open the app - - much less painful.

Came across 50 other Greats from the past who shared the same expression about "history repeating it self". Will Rogers came up with several.

However, no matter the plethora of similar "comments"...it still keeps happening!

History keeps repeating because the "Human Nature" is a constant. For example, "greed" and "violent nature" are ever present drivers of history.

 

[Mr Boochie]

A sad story. And who knows, it may be all AI-generated.

Online dating seems to be fraught with these dangers.

And a short-term memory. Especially of bad things.

Especially pain.

 

[Mr Boochie]

Especially pain.

With me, the level of pain is directly related to my mood. Happy? Pain is not so bad. Sad? The same pain is much, much worse.

Pain is fortunately NOT recallable in scale. You can recall that you had pain, but you can not "re-feel" the pain. Apparently the psyche experts say that if pain was recallable, we never would have advanced past simple, safe life.
