been showing her stuff on evolution, physics, atoms, antikythera mechanism, ancient civilizations, ancient megalith sites etc. instead of **** like Bluey and funny cat videos. they test her patience at times but she's slowly getting more and more interested in these things....
**** yeah, dad. Kids follow along where their parents lead.
Want to make knife steel? You gotta know some chemistry and math.
Chef? You're using the scientific method all the time.
Other folks in the food industry are expert microbiologists.
The real world is more mystifying and amazing than anything Harry Potter ever imagined. Compared to the real world, made up stories are just... boring.
One of the most interesting gentleman of our lifetime wasn't just a Nobel-winning theoretical particle physicist, but he was a great communicator. I enjoy watching videos of him speaking of subjects at a level that regular folks can understand.
Absolutely. When you get into things like the beginning of the universe, the origin of life, the oldest known traces of civilization, atoms, quantum physics, evolution, gravity....man reality is WILD.
I'll take a look at that video. I haven't heard of that gentleman before.
They did such a good job in the movie I actually believed they really sang it. Top 5 movie for me.

I was seriously all over the place today.
Yngwie Malmsteen, Suicidal Tendencies, CKY, Limp Bizkit, Liquid Tension Experiment, Cryptopsy, Crystal Age, Nujabes, Cowboy Bebop OST, Flock of Seagulls, this drum and bass mix from Fonkah, this jungle mix by DJ Sensi, Symphony X, Le Trio Joubran, Huun Huur Tu, Andreya Triana, Dead Kennedys, Macabre, Slayer, Megadeth, Patra, Toots and the Maytals, Barrington Levy, Steel Pulse and certainly a few I'm forgetting.
I'm sorry, sir. But if you continue to use language like that, we'll have to send you to sensitivity training. Seriously. There's been a concerted effort among the snowflakes to drain all the joy and creativity from our lives. There's a mountain bike trail outside Las Vegas named Suicidal Tendencies. It's a high quality double black that is a must-do for folks who ride at that level. The woke mapmakers have chosen to rename it to something that won't be so "triggering." Off the top of my head, other trail names that they're trying to change are Suicidal Tendencies, Fook Yu, T&A, Mentally Sensitive, Ike's Peek, and others I can't remember at this late hour. Don't worry. OG riders don't care what anyone thinks of our trail names.
Yesterday I played Megadeath on a long drive--probably the most Megadeath I've ever listened to nonstop. My conclusion is that Dave really is a talented guy. Despite that, I have no desire to be in the same room as him. I wonder what Metallica would have become if they hadn't given him the boot. Regardless, I think Kirk Hammett helped bring the band to the level it is today.
Mention of these old-school bands left me waxing nostalgic, so I put on a band from back in my day... back when the likes of Van Halen, Motley Crue, L.A. Guns, Axl, Quiet Riot, and Black Flag were playing the local clubs. The band was Tonio K. They were very fringe, with a surf-guitar sound and dadaist lyrics that appealed to cerebral cynics. I think their first album, Life in the Foodchain, was its best. Alas, they didn't have the mass-appeal to bring them to the next level.
