  • I always enjoyed it because it's very significant coming from Isaac Newton. Even he admitted that he had only scratched the surface with all the work that he had done and that there was way more out there in the universe that we don't know about yet.

  • I've often thought of doing that ... but around here, enough people do that that it isn't that scary for people any more ... my idea was to create three or four identical scarecrows or dressed up characters and sit in as one of them.

  • They are common up here in northern Ontario in Canada ... but it's just a habit with people up here ... everyone prefers using the back door and when you get there, you knock on the door. The front door is more or less decorative and seldom used and usually used only for days like Halloween or mail package deliveries (and package carriers are better as they almost always use door bell)

  • lol ... my favourite is Halloween ... a few years ago, I put up a paper sign on the door with an arrow pointing to the 'DOOR BELL' ... I even added extra instructions 'RING DOORBELL FOR CANDY' .... and at one point I even put a sign lower to the ground so that kids could read it. My wife laughed at me and said that people weren't that stupid and they'll see the large bright glowing button of the doorbell and use it to get our attention.

    About three quarters of the people - whether they be kids or adults or both - knocked loudly on the door and ignored all the signs. I even had some miffed adults look at me weird for taking too long because I didn't hear them pounding on the door.

    For the past few Halloweens, I gave up and now I just sit by the door and wait for people to arrive and greet them before they even have a chance to knock.

  • It sounds like we are part of the same generation (honestly, I don't know or care what generation that is called, I just have a feeling you were born in the 70s and grew up in the 80s and 90s)

    We got to see the internet come into being little by little over the 90s and early 2000s. At the time, we weren't kids anymore and we did just fine keeping up with the technology. And I believe it was all down to our ability to be able to think, act and do things ourselves without any outside help. We grew up in an education system that forced us to think, to read, to write and to understand using nothing but our growing brain. We didn't have the luxury of having a device show us pretty pictures or immediately calculate something for us. There is a lot to be said for a child that grows up and learns how to just write ideas, questions, answers and thoughts on an empty piece of paper with just a pencil or a crayon.

    You can mimic all that on a tablet but the the process of using a tablet is partly entertainment because at one point, you start playing with the tablet rather than in learning how to draw a picture. When you have a pencil and a blank piece of paper, you have no choice but to use your mind and put something down on the sheet.

    Because I grew up with new technology and the internet, I got to appreciate it all and I started tinkering with it all. I never turned into any kind of hacker or computer wiz but over the past 20 years, I've learned how to use/tinker/adjust/crack/tweak Windows, MacOS and Linux systems as well as build my own PC, recover old parts, mash together parts, keep laptops alive and recover tablets and devices. All done without any technical training other than what I learned from others online. In all that time, I got to meet and see so many young people who either didn't know, didn't care or were just ignorant as to how a computer even worked.

  • I think it's partly marketing ... very clever marketing and brain hooks ... I just went to the comic website and looked at a few comics and yes most of them show that number and the cleverly hidden objects. But some of the comics don't have the same number of hidden objects (eg: some list 5 but you can only find 4) ... unless I'm doing it wrong and I just can't see it.

    If the artist did purposefully list 5 things but only show 4 ... it would drive viewers mad trying to find something that isn't there. It would also become a very memorable comic because it would bug people so much they would keep going back to it again and again.

    It's like that old college/high school prank people used to pass around years ago ... you release three big fat dirty pigs into a school and let them run wild. You spray paint each pig with a number .... 1, 2 and 4. Chances are authorities or school workers will find the three pigs but they'll take a bit of extra time looking for Pig #3 before realizing it didn't exist.

  • Tech shouldn't be allowed in the classroom until high school.

    Kids need to learn how to think, use their hands, eye hand coordination, basic reading and most importantly ... have a freakin ATTENTION SPAN!!!

    The modern computer, internet culture and social media are all designed to shorten a person's attention span as much possible to turn their brain into pudding and market anything to them.

    One of the greatest skills in life in being able to think for yourself, to wonder, to imagine and to question the world with just your own mind rather than in occupying every waking moment to a digital device.

  • The quote is also taken from Wayne Gretzky, one of the greatest hockey players in the National Hockey League and he is from Canada. He was great to watch and cheer for in the 1980s and 90s .... but over the past decade he's turned into a Trump loving moron that grovels at the president's feet.

    So he took the shot at becoming a MAGA idiot and he certainly didn't miss in ruining his legacy.

  • Oh that is BRUTAL

  • You're right it doesn't ... but if you're a good cook, you spend about half an hour preparing food, about ten / fifteen minutes actually cooking your food, ten minutes to prepare everything else, half an hour or more (depending on your company) eating and entertaining guests ... then another half an hour or more cleaning up and putting things away.

    Working in the kitchen is more than just frying, boiling or baking the actual thing you are making ... you spend a lot of time preparing and a whole bunch of time after cleaning up.

  • Oh that is BRUTAL

  • This works depending on the cook.

    If he is a good cook and knows how to work in a kitchen ... he doesn't get distracted and his first thought is on the food, the hot grill and things burning or catching on fire. He'll respond in an hour with a picture of a perfectly cooked sandwich

    If he only cooks from time to time and doesn't care that much for cooking ... he is easily distracted and will burn his food with a simple text message. He'll send you an angry text back.

    If he never cooks .. he's texting you right back with a meme reaction, 27 instagram posts, 12 tiktoks, 5 youtube shorts, and 10 angry political posts for twitter because you just set him off as he's sitting on the couch doom scrolling while eating a dozen grilled cheese sandwiches he ordered from Doordash
