    Would any one object if we added another, say, four to six hours to a day? :look_at_the_time:

    yes, because then we would be forced to work longer days...studies have shown that if workdays were only 6 hours production would be up, because most people will goof off for about 2 hours to milk the clock.

    Exactly right..
    Ok well I have to go something came up
    I'm feeling pretty wiped out from a busy day. Tomorrow I'll probably agree with you both!

    Random thought for this evening: Ratatouille.

    I think psychotics are narcissistic, but narcissists aren't necessarily psychotic.

    my sister is a narcissist, and to my knowledge isn't psychotic.

    bacon dippers are baconny, but not so baconny that you feel ashamed when you eat an entire box while binge-watching Scandal.

    Why does nothing rhyme with orange? And why aren't grapes called purples?

    when I was at Sunfest 93 to see PJ, there's a Canadian band that was called Rhymes With Orange. Some drunk dude next to me was yelling at the top of his lungs "Dorange! Dorange rhymes with orange!". Me and my buddies could do nothing but laugh.

    The distance from Earth to Neptune is 2.7 billion miles. If you traveled at a 1/4 million (250,000) mph it would take 1 year, 2.5 months to get there. Traveling at the speed of light (671 million mph) would take just over 4 hours.

    If you circled the earth at the equator 108,430 times, you'll travel the same distance as Earth to Neptune.

    And that's just our tiny little solar system, in a tiny little galaxy, in a tiny little cluster, in a tiny little super cluster, amongst many voids vast beyond comprehension, of the known/visible universe.

    We're all made of this shit.

    HONEYBEES (Apis mellifera) construct their honeycombs with wax secreted from glands found on the underside of their abdomen. The honeycomb is regarded as an engineering marvel. Why?

    Consider: For centuries, mathematicians suspected that partitions in the shape of hexagons were better than equilateral triangles or squares—or any other shape—for maximizing space with the least amount of building material. But they could not fully explain why. In 1999, Professor Thomas C. Hales provided mathematical proof for the advantage of what he termed “honeycomb conjecture.” He demonstrated that regular hexagons are the best way to divide a space into equal parts with minimal structural support.

    By using hexagonal cells, bees can make the best use of all the space available to them, produce a light but sturdy honeycomb with a minimum amount of wax, and store the maximum amount of honey in a given space. Not surprisingly, the honeycomb has been described as “an architectural masterpiece.”

    Today, scientists mimic the bees’ honeycomb to create structures that are both resilient and space efficient. Aircraft engineers, for example, use panels patterned after the honeycomb to build planes that are stronger and lighter and thus use less fuel.

    What do you think? Did the superior structure of the honeycomb come about by evolution? Or was it designed?

    I know my boss is psychotic...that came out first, now I realize she is also narcissistic. both have to do with BPD though.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Yeah, my sister is also narcissistic without being psychotic. Neurotic, yes. Psychotic, no.

    i understand im only in somebody elses dream
    but i hate that feeling
    im human who has feelings and i act upon them
    if your careless or selfish and dont treasure
    little things personally
    if you dont care im not going to either, honestly
    and theres plenty other fish in the sea
    its time to grow up and smell the roses
    bc they do have thorns
    ''do me this one favor if you care
    think of me doing what you do and tell
    me how you honestly feel'' ? tell me..
    bc i will if you will if you dont i wont
    till i run
    bonsoir
    im getting off the net and listening to music
    now..

    Cool things to think about!
