#MorningAll & #TZAG G’day Squirrel Fans, hope I find you bright eyed & bushy tailed!

No Rasta, it’s not a delayed refresh problem, I am late again!

Well this morning has been a fine example of hyper focus - I’m double checking that I have copied everything of use across to my Mac Mini before moving the MBP to the Linux duel boot config. I started at around 09:30, after breakfast & watching a ‘Father Brown’ with Mrs S & then doing my chores.

Now settling in to continue our ‘For All Mankind’ fest.

Cashew later Peeps, have a fabulously nutty day #Today ! 😊🫶🖖

@MAJ1 first!!
🤭🤪

@dgar Hey Jon 👋😊

How’s it going on the other side of the world?

@MAJ1 I’m all out of sorts and seem to be lacking in spoons but they all seem to be “me” problems and shouldn’t be used to gauge how it is going on this side of the world.

You?

@MAJ1
Afternoon Maj1 👋😃.
Enjoy your streaming fest 📺😎

About to grab lunch before hitting wait mode for the IMAX this evening 🎫🍿😎🤯.

👋😃🖖😎

@Soldusty Evening mate 👋😊

Ooooh I hope you have enjoyed your IMAX / PHM experience!

@MAJ1
Evening Maj1 👋😃.
Where's @amiserabilist hanging out?

Fist my bump 🤜.
They shouldn't be allowed to cut onions in the IMAX.

That was one heck of an odd couple / road(?) movie.

The butty it turned out didn't exist as I'd forgotten to thaw out the bread. So, tuna, some mayo, a dash or two of Tommy sauce & a smidge of astrofage- I mean mustard 😋👌.

If Disney had started out making films the way Disney makes films now, we would have got five Snow White films and two spin-offs featuring Dopey before they bothered making anything else.

Attached: 1 image @[email protected] @MedeaVanamonde @Shivviness @TwoClownsEating @[email protected] Baloo from The Jungle Book is a sloth bear (Melursus ursinus), a species native to the Indian subcontinent. While often depicted as a lovable, lazy, and greyish-brown bear in Disney adaptations, he is based on a real, typically black-furred, and highly defensive, insect-eating species. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baloo there is no specific data mentioning the volume of a sloth bear's colon. if there is anyone who has access to a dead sloth bear could they see what volume of water it holds. but as a guess: “Normal morphology of the digestive system in brown bear (Ursus arctos)” The colon has a length of approximately 1.2-1.5 m https://iuls.ro/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/02-17_Munteanu_Alexandru_en.pdf Brown bears generally weigh between 80 and 600 kg Adult sloth bears typically weigh between 55 and 145 kg 145 ÷ 600 ~ 25% baloo’s colon is 150/4 cm long ~40cm human colon 8 cm in diameter A sloth bear is 145 ÷ 70 ~ 2x the weight of a human baloo’s colon is 8*2 cm wide ~16cm The human colon can expand to over 12 cm = stretch 1.5x 16*1.5=24cm 24*40=960cm3 Cocaine density varies depending on its form and compaction, but solid, compressed cocaine (such as in a 1 kg brick) has a high density, often exceeding 0.9gm/cm3 baloo could stuff 1kg of compressed blow up his bum. Direct from producers in countries like Colombia or Bolivia, a pure kilogram typically costs between $4,000 and $6,000. @glasspusher

@Soldusty @MAJ1

honestly i think kids have it worse now.

adults should be making a better environment for them.

I have no horse in this race.

@amiserabilist @MAJ1
💯 Yep. Instead of saving or at least trying to preserve what we still have the biggest, most powerful twats are doing everything they can to speed up the destruction of remaining resources & speed up the end of earth being habitable for most life by going full fascist.

@Soldusty @MAJ1

shitty upbringings creating shitty humans.

it is a vicious circle.

"10 percent of any population is cruel, no matter what, and 10 percent is merciful, no matter what, and the remaining 80 percent can be moved in either direction."

Susan Sontag

Many students, especially those who are poor, intuitively know what the schools do for them. They school them to confuse process and substance. Once these become blurred, a new logic is assumed: the more treatment there is, the better are the results; or, escalation leads to success. The pupil is thereby “schooled” to confuse teaching with learning, grade advancement with education, a diploma with competence, and fluency with the ability to say something new. His imagination is “schooled” to accept service in place of value. Medical treatment is mistaken for health care, social work for the improvement of community life, police protection for safety, military poise for national security, the rat race for productive work. Health, learning, dignity, independence, and creative endeavour are defined as little more than the performance of the institutions which claim to serve these ends, and their improvement is made to depend on allocating more resources to the management of hospitals, schools, and other agencies in question.

Hey, I was in a sedated state later than usual also. I was up, and awake, but I wasn't talkative. Good morning

@Rasta Evening Rasta 👋😊

Hope you’ve had a good day after that prolonged sedation! 😊

@MAJ1

Good morning! I don't understand computer jargon, so I have no idea about MBPs or "Linux duel boot configs". That's why I had computer-savvy children. 😄 Otherwise, your day sounds great.

I am patiently waiting for the sun to make an appearance here. I'm hoping that will help motivate me. Fortunately, I don't have too much to accomplish. 😊

@Sharonbw Hey Sharon 🤗🥰

MBP = MacBook Pro.

Dual Boot just means I nca effectively run 2 computers from the same box - think of it like one of those DJs mixing decks where they can play 2 records at the same time.

I hope your day has treated you well & that you have a peaceful & relaxed Easter. 😊🫶 🐿️🖖

@MAJ1

Aren't you kind! I actually understand now. Not that I could do it, of course, but I understand what you were doing.

@MAJ1 morning 🐿👋🫂

Running mega late. 🕰

@skyfire747 Hey Puzzler 🧩 👋😊

You n me both mate.

Hope your weekend is going ok!

@MAJ1 it could be better...

City died yesterday and so did my watch!

@skyfire747 Eeek!

I hope you can get a new watch soon, key bit of kit that!

@MAJ1 I have a fitbit sense 2 coming from Amazon. Due tommorrow.
