It's a play on a VERY cool acrobatics show. It (The pun) translates roughly to 'Circus of Apologies', which really is what we're reading on this thread.

It's amazing, usually when a politician says something that gets push back or controversy, they clarify and apologize (O'Malley with Blacks Lives Matter, Bush with 'I'd still go into Iraq') and are still usually the worse for the experience. Trump just forgets he ever said it or even doubles down and it's working.

People, big lie, easier, small lie.

I was kinda hopeful about this movie again after the teaser came out. Now I'm back to wondering how these clusterfucks even got green lit.

One of my friends is weirdly sympathetic to Pharma-bro. Like, thinks he was trying to show off how broken the pharmaceutical processes are by martyring himself. Then again, this is the friend I'm privately convinced is legitimately on the autistic spectrum, so the two may be related.

I left college, having majored in English literature, with a dream to work in media. It was either that or go to law school. Or become a teacher. But I didn’t want to become a cliche or drown in student loans, see.

No. No I'm afraid I don't see.

Alright, I'll try and sum this up.

Pro-her:

1) She's correct, the current social-economic environment in the States is loving terrible, and it shafts over 90% of the population so some fat fucker can buy another golden yacht for his fleet. Vote Bernie Sanders.

2) The utter lack of unions, employee protection and Merit-based recompensation scheme is, in fact, a massive contributor to the above. The utter disdain that upper management tend to have for human beings should be rectified. Violently if possible, due to the level of control such people tend to possess over the legal processes of the state.

3) She does have a right to complain about this, and good on her for doing so.

Con-her:

1) Following your dreams is kinda dumb. Not in general, having ambitions is more or less what self-improvement and/or capitalism is all about. But when you're a kid moving to a city to pursue your dream job is really only an option for the incredibly talented and/or connected. She's learning now to understand realism/pragmatism, but seeing how long it took for her to get into that, I'm kinda thinking that she didn't exactly go through the school of hard knocks in her earlier years.

2) As others before me have pointed out, she had enough information budget-wise to realise the entire thing wasn't going to pan out. Perhaps she was hoping for a promotion early on to bump things up, but I'm pretty sure after a week she would have had enough information to realise that that, too, wasn't an option. For her part, she seemed way too stubborn and rather dissonant with reality - again, I guess she's learning from this.

3) I was going to more-or-less mock her university choices here, but trying to balance it out with the usual "Head of M16 was a Masters in English Lit too" shite fell flat when "The Exception proves the rule" came donuting into my brain.

All in all, her dreams were shattered and she's disillusioned. I sympathise, but all I can really say is "Vote Sanders".

Funny, I remember people saying the same thing 8 years ago about someone else.

When you've got a deliberately obstructive house, senate and congress, businesses propping up every goddamn initiative they can to shut you down and economic sabotage and corruption stretching back to Reagan, I ain't surprised that things haven't improved much in under a decade.

From PYF Dangerous chemicals/etc, talking about how and why metals taste the way they do, or don't.


Someone tried it


Basically, when you bite on foil, you set up a battery in your mouth and the electrical current stimulates nerve
endings in your tooth. Here is what happens:

pressure from biting brings two dissimilar metals (aluminum foil, mercury in fillings or gold in crowns)
in contact in a moist, salty environment (saliva)
the two metals have an electrochemical potential difference or voltage across them
electrons flow from the foil into the tooth (i.e. electrical current)
the current gets conducted into the tooth's root, usually by the filling or crown
the current sets off a nerve impulse in the root's nerve
the nerve impulse is sent to the brain
the brain interprets the impulse as pain

I can never tell if the actual intent of this is to hit the fish or not, but either way, it's seriously impressive.

It's also the actual intent of a Boomerang. They're only meant to return if you miss, and if you miss, why are you hunting with a Boomerang.

Don't think they're intended for fishing, though.
