Drejk gets all the cookies.I AM 42 NOW AND UNDERSTAND EVERYTHINGYou finally grasped math?
I need to do some shopping later. Cookies or some cake might or might not be involved. I crave somethings sweet but I don't have anything at hand. Which might be good thing...
In non-Freehold news, Kilauea is erupting again.
Wow, hot lava is about as non-Freehold as you can get...

What? A volcano spurting hot lava skyward is as Freehold as a train racing into a tunnel or a rocket firing towards the heavens or... you get the picture.
Happy Winter Solstice, everyone!
My day today is 9 hours and 31 minutes long (sunrise to sunset).
What about everyone else? (Honestly, seems like a fun latitude check for everyone.)
EDIT: And I love the almanac that tells me that, "Tomorrow will be 0 minutes 2 seconds longer".
That thar's one close shave of a solstice!

It really is Freehold's birthday!

And yep, that's why I wished him happy birthday!

According to timeanddate.com, 9 hours 15 minutes. 1 second shorter than yesterday, 3 seconds shorter than tomorrow.

You took the words right out of my mouth!
As an aside, while I was reading Treppas post, I had just picked up a bottle of lime juice entitled Volcano lime juice with a picture of a erupting Volcano on it.
Coincidence?
I think not!

Wait...Freehold is our leader? Since when? I assumed that we were still under the rule of LPM Moorluck! Even if he never comes around anymore.
Or did I miss something?
I told you: we're an anarcho-syndicalist commune! We're taking turns to act as a sort of executive-officer-for-the-week. But all the decisions *of* that officer 'ave to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority, in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two-thirds majority, in the case of more major--

I have one more day to work until I get a month off while the boss works on getting us an inside job.
I think I'm going to wear a wire irregardless of circumstances.
a month off
How do you stop it from snowing in Wisconsin for a month?

Wait until July.
Sort of, almost kidding.
But in my hometown, there would often still be snow (ugly grey remnants) at the end of March, and it usually started up again before Halloween.

But I'm not attracted to bread or other baked goods.

One of my favorite bets in mid-April is "I'll bet you $5 that it will snow again before Memorial Day," when newcomers are bewailing the continued cold temperatures. Very few have turned down the bet.
It's usually just flurries, but I've won more of those bets than I've lost over the years. Odds are moving against me though, with climate change. I may have to stop offering if I want to keep my winnings.

Sounds like some winters here in Poland, back when I was a kid.

Touche! I should have said I'm on call for the next month.
But we will often go through a two or three week stretch in January or February where it's too cold to snow.
That's when the winter madness sets in, I often call it the winter doldrums because it basically has the same effect.

Impus Major: Now that's a darned nice treehouse, there. If I had that treehouse I'd reenact the JFK assassination...

Is the Bay area so congested you don't have a grassy knoll readily available for reenacting the Kennedy assassination.
This one's for NH, and anyone else into physics.
So I've been reading up on the double slit experiment and trying to understand this uncertainty thing. Specifically I'm trying to understand how it rules out a purely deterministic universe. I've asked the Ask Science subreddit, but no bites yet. So maybe a better way to understand this is to ask: What would be different about the double slit experiment in a purely deterministic universe?

So I think the thing about it is if you have a single slit that you can shoot through you have a pretty good idea where your capable of hitting. if you have 2 slits then you should in theory still be able to see the areas you have to shot through however Apparently the quantum world moves more so in waves then straight lines and the waves can interfere with each other. Creating a non-deterministic pattern.
That is my understanding I could be wrong and I could be talking about something else entirely then what you are.. Maybe I should of waited for NH.
Glad I'm night shift my home state here is currently number 1 in COVID cases. Still have people traveling through here though. Guess its going to be the hard way for a bit longer.

I had to go to an adjacent town for materials yesterday and while everyone was wearing a mask I was the only person wearing one properly or even putting in an effort to wear one properly.

Someone went through my car last night looking for valuables. I guess they didn't really look at the car they could have saved themselves some time.

Is it bad that I've been having a text conversation with one of my brothers about Christmas presents for almost a week now and I'm still not entirely sure which one it is.

half the people coming through don't even pretend to be wearing one. Management doesn't want me starting anything. So If someone comes in without a mask I just increase our rate by about 20 dollars which makes them go away or pay more win/win really.

I think it's only a win-win if you get to pocket the extra money.
Otherwise it's a win for the hotel but not you, who has to deal with the disease covered filth.

I am so sorry

No need to be sorry, as a hippie in Wisconsin my faith in humanity was crushed years ago and I don't lock the car so no damages and I live in a large metropolitan area so I'm smart enough not to leave anything valuable in it so they didn't get anything and they clearly weren't that desperate because they didn't even find the parking meter change I keep in the car.

Yeah I want people to rifle through my car so they can feel the disappointment I feel when I get into it.
Yeah, at a certain point your car gets old enough that it's cheaper to leave it unlocked and let people rifle through it just so they don't break the window to find out there's nothing valuable inside.
It's like, "Hey, I'm driving a 24-year-old car. Just how much do you think you're going to get out of it?"

Rifle?
Oh, not that kind.
I only have 16 hours clocked in Far Cry 5, why do you look at me like that?

Eh...but I've seen the two-slit pattern, it's very predictable and regular, even if unintuitive. Aren't two waves interacting with each other (deterministically) to be expected?
