It took me three days of seeing that t-shirt to eventually realise that's NOT the correct spelling of "LINKIN PARK".

"KNKIN PARK"
Must be one of those obscure bands who nobody else has heard of.....

Not sure... maybe

Hi. I'm doing ok. All I can say is "everyday and in every way I'm feeling better and better".

I have no idea what to think about this.

From United Press International (UPI)
Are we living in a giant hologram?

Two more press releases:

This is a sketch of the timeline of the holographic Universe. Time runs from left to right. The far left denotes the holographic phase and the image is blurry because space and time are not yet well defined. At the end of this phase (denoted by the black fluctuating ellipse) the Universe enters a geometric phase, which can now be described by Einstein's equations. The cosmic microwave background was emitted about 375,000 years later. Patterns imprinted in it carry information about the very early Universe and seed the development of structures of stars and galaxies in the late time Universe (far right).

The first observational evidence that the universe could be a hologram has been published in the journal Physical Review Letters. The international study may lead to new beliefs on the Big Bang Theory and on quantum gravity, one of theoretical physics' most profound problems.

Hotel has soft beds, it must be an expensive hotel.

To @shalemail et al. A realization that is somewhat new to me, but becoming more relevant everyday.

Spoiler: Language

I too suffer from the sadness. Inescapable. Malignant. Incurable. Sometimes helps to laugh though.

 

[dontpanicbobby]

I'm to sexy for my hat.

 

[mikedt]

I'm too sexy for my Mao suit.

If you complain long enough, loud enough, and to enough people, things will happen. Eventually.

We are OTA only. Do have a Roku, but no movies. MLB.

Laughter does help, as does perspective. Honestly there's so much going on in the world that I'm thankful to be out of the line of fire. I count my blessings, count them again, and resign myself to the comfort of knowing my pluses and minuses and accepting that the pluses are greater.

Was looking at that on Engadget.

And hopefully NO bed bugs

I miss 56k dial-up.

 

[Dngrsone]

I miss the sound, but not the slow.

Speaking of sound, it seems like I need a new idler pulley...

 

[Bg260]

Somehow, not surprising.

"Spicy beauty shoes"

Anyone guess or know what this dish is really?

Sliced Devil Dogs in chili sauce? Yummy!

Eat too much of it and there will be a beauty in your shoes for sure.

 

[dontpanicbobby]

Is there an emoji for chuckling out loud?

 

[mikedt]

That one made me chuckle, when I saw it in a Beijing hotel lift yesterday. I believe correct English translation should be "Spicy beautiful pig trotters", that's what it says in Chinese.
