Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Maybe the end times really are upon us? Yeah, it's mostly the internet, plus global warming. Just speaking of hurricanes in the Caribbean (and potentially hitting mainland USA) alone, we'd get tropical storms and hurricanes every year in the past, but usually weaker ones. Category 4s and 5s were a once a decade event. Now we're getting multiple cat 5s a year. It's bonkers! If cat 5s are now garden-variety hurricanes then I shudder to think what a once a decade hurricane will look like.

Yeah, I think the story is the same with tornados, but I'm not entirely sure about it, I don't read american news generally speaking, so I haven't heard much at all. Alot of wildfires going aswell I think.

Hurlshort Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Today a co-worker encouraged the ladies of the staff to use the deodorizer's in the bathroom via email. I chimed in that the men should continue as they were, as the shallow gasps needed serve as a stark reminder of how wonderful life is outside of the bathroom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guard Dog Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 It seems like a good day to forget the world and just go fishing. But doesn't every day?

As a wise man once wrote the point of going fishing is not actually to catch fish. weren't a wise man. were our a-hole father dropping that pithy bit o' fluff After a fishless day... after waking at 4:30 am... after trekking a mile-and-a-half through calf-deep snow and 'cross a frozen reservoir simple to get to the "perfect" spot... after +4 hours o' sitting on a plastic five-gallon bucket, in near utter silence (our father were a taciturn man) as we watched our snot freeze and our tip-ups not tip-up once... after somehow making it back to our jeep carrying a marine's worth o' gear through a literal blizzard. experience gave lie to the wisdom. if we hadn't been so exhausted when dad dropped his fishless insight 'pon us, we woulda' been tempted to club him like a kanadian going after a baby fur seal.

Guard Dog Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Actully I was referring to Thoreau. But I'm sure his fishing trips were much more enjoyable.

Guard Dog Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Well, if I HAVE to catch a fish in order to eat that would change how seriously I took it. And my methods to.

redneckdevil Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Bah, u don't fish to get fish, that's an added bonus. You fish to get away from everyone and everything to sit with some cold ones or some blunts and relax to nature while listening to CCR. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gfted1 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Java homework is kicking my butt I used to be smart when I was younger, dunno what happened. My neuroplasticity! It does nothing! Had to perform a bushfix on my PC this weekend. It turns out my NiC died in my desktop, which Ive never seen happen before even once in my life, so I went to Best Buy and purchased a USB wireless adaptor. Surprisingly it recognized my 5GHz WiFi band and Speedtest says I'm purring along at 95MB. I always figured "wired" was faster than "wireless" but so far, so good.
