Hey, a woman is finally reaching out to you, don't 'dumb bitch' her yet. Maybe she really is that busy.

What does the text say? Maybe she wants you to take her out for a glass of wine.

she is busy with her nephew and can't talk at the moment. So that means you shouldn't be able to text at the moment

[Khampelf]

Maybe she can text you while she talks to her nephew. It doesn't make sense for her to text her nephew and talk to you on the phone. Why do you assume categorically only one or the other can occur? Also, she can look at your message later. That's the wonder of text messaging, you can look at them later.

Or she could have just called or text me tomorrow. I don't need someone to announce to me that they are busy.

If you see my number ignore and call me when you free

How is she supposed to know these are the ironclad rules for texting you? She was letting you know she's interested, just busy. You'd really prefer no answer to 'I'd like to talk to you but I can't right now, sorry?'

You really should stay alone, you know.

Someone telling you they can't talk to at this moment just screams arrogance.

You didn't catch my sly reference to one of Philadelphia's naughty landmarks. I'm afraid I have to bring your sockhood up. What can you tell me about Disney World?

Was she responding to your text, or did she just call you up out of the blue to tell you she was too busy? Man if there's ever two ways to take something, you pick the one that pisses you off. Seriously, stay single. No one is good enough for you.

I'd forgotten about that. Any chance it works from a distance (and over the Internet)? I could use a good head-squashing right now.

I called and she sent a text 2 hours later

I tried every which way to wiggle out of it but no dice. From the equations I can see I have optimized this family of shapes and it's just not good enough. So there goes a week of work. Back to the topology, which involves morphing shapes like a lava lamp following various arcane rules. For that it helps if I'm very stoned. Oh well, no time like the present.

I'm guessing that using platinum instead is not an option.

Oh well. In that case I suppose you're left with increasing the surface area to volume ratio and getting a bigger fan.

[Khampelf]

From her P.O.V. it would have been ruder not to respond, I assume. You've got more sore spots than a plucked porcupine.

You have a feckless way of going about that goal.

Two words. Strip Club. Cuz that's the only place it's going to happen.

And these are women with normal jobs not some dirty hookers

Good guess! Neither is titanium or zirconium or a bunch of other metals, because this has to be a castable alloy. Which means I only have a handful of choices in stainless steel.

I already maximized the surface to volume ratio for this class of shapes, and this thing more or less is the fan. The primary heat exchange surfaces can be modeled as a pair of semi-infinite planes, where the surface to volume ratio depends only on the size of the gap between the walls. I can't get it any thinner or it won't be castable. And trust me, there is no other way to make this thing. Imagine an exploded view of an orange with a whole whack of tiny fins between all the slices. So anyway, I'm going to try kind of popping it inside out and work the HX numbers on that family of shapes. It keeps me off the streets.

Aye, there's the rub. Women with normal jobs have standards for what they consider sufficiently handsome and enough of a financial benefit. To lower the standards, go pro. Or find someone desperate, but be careful. The desperate ones are just crazy enough to try to interrupt football. No one needs that.

Thanks, Smarty.

The endodontist had me come in today so he could examine the lingering abscess on my gum. He ended up numbing the left side of my face so he could

slice my gum open and clean out the infection.

My gum looks much better, but I think it's gonna hurt once the numbing wears off.

[Khampelf]

Very quiet here, today. We had a tradesman in to replace a toilet, but he was done in an hour. In other news, I bought a case of V-8 juice hoping to up our vegetable consumption.

[Amythyst]

I made French toast for dinner. Now I'm watching the Angry Video Game Nerd on YouTube.

Been working all day and now I'm starving--got taquitos ready to go soon as the oven says it's ready.

Yeah, but... Barney Miller's over now, so I'm listening to Tom Waits while The Manhattan Project plays with the sound off. John Lithgow is playing a nuclear physicist, so in my version I'm figuring out, it's a young Emilio Lizardo. Before the accident.

I'm using bonus points to get a large 3 topping pizza for free tonight. I just have to give the delivery guy $2.50 and a tip.

I won't be getting Pizza until 9/13, week 1 of the NFL season

[SmartAleq]

Free pizza is definitely the best pizza!

[Khampelf]

It was delicious. Half pepperoni mushroom, half sausage and italian sausage. No anchovies this time around. I usually order pineapple with double anchovy.

[Jaglavak]

Bingo. Four times the heat rate into 2/3 the volume and it's easier to build. Necessity is a real mother.

[Khampelf]

Every 'chicago style' pizza I've ever had was 4" of bread underneath regular pizza.

[Solfy]

I like bread.

[The Futility of Nihilism]

Question of the Day:


Why did the blacksmith place a rosebud on his anvil?

[Jaglavak]

Because it had been frozen in liquid oxygen and he was going to swat it with a sledge hammer to make it shatter and catch fire at the same time?

[BJMoose]

nope

[Solfy]

One of the runners was bent.

[BJMoose]

clever, but nope

[Khampelf]

He was an avant guard floral arranger, exploring new possibilities in the medium.

[Solfy]

I prefer to be après-guarde.

[Khampelf]

You don't get any NEA grants that way.
