Really?  Why?

Since a computer screen can be used for viewing television shows I gather you're going to have a hard time using your computer

Difficult indeed.  Tough to miss all the great "brain gellatinizing shows" that are both on TV and on TV through the computer, no?

I barely watch any of the tv shows.  only a few select ones as most make you feel less intelligent after watching.

Actually, it's something we've been doing around here too - we've created a list of a few shows that we want to see (with times and channels), and try to keep the TV off the rest of the time.

Happy Square Root Day, 3/3/09 (square  root of 9 is 3)

Next Square Root Day in exactly 7 years, 1 month and 1 day on 4/4/16.

No TV till may cuz im catching up on my reading.  I'm learning how to thrive as a pork salesman and a bartender in Saudi Arabia.  There seems to be a lot of running involved....

You'll also have to figure out new and creative ways of concealing a weapon.

If everything that doesn't fit into a pattern is labeled "Random," then is it still "random?"

Mixed vegetables make great pellets for pellet guns, especiall when frozen.  Just ask the neighbours kid!

Remember Dr. Mugur's thesis on the eventual order that comes out of chaos equations?  I think this is the answer to your question my friend.  But in general I would say that yes, because it is by definition hard to define what random really is.  Thoughts?

 

[Fr. George]

I guess my approach was:

- If Random = doesn't fit into a pattern, and
- If all things that don't fit into a pattern are labeled "random," then
- Random things are no long "random" because they fit into a pattern (of being labeled Random).

Remember Dr. Mugur's thesis on the eventual order that comes out of chaos equations? 

I don't remember, because I don't think he ever told me about it - but it sounds fascinating!

I'm with you big guy i'm with you. 

He took the mathematical equation for randomness ( I guess one exists) and then he put it into a graph where a ball would move around a square "room" randomly.  When you multiply the equation by a "speed" of 1000 for example, or multiply the equation by 1000 the ball goes crazy (randomly - in speed and etc.).  Then when you just let the equation go, after around 10,000 revolutions, it all of sudden stops moving randomly and goes into a PATTERN, creating a square (basically).  Then after 10,000 revolutions of that (speeded up) it goes back into randomness!!!  By itself!  It was very interesting.  I'll explain it to you next time I talk to you. 

p.s.  did you get my e-mail??

Just showed this recipe to the wife.  We may be trying it soon.

 

[Ian Lazarus]

Does it work with pinto beans?

BTW Beano is a dud.

 

[ozgeorge]

I have tried it with Chickpeas and Fava beans and it worked.
Try it with pinto beans and let us know!

 

[username!]

Is outrage! I have ten cans of organic chickpeas I got on sale and I really can't muster up anything to make with them.

 

[Ian Lazarus]

Fry up some onions and garlic, add beans, mash, add salt, pepper, garlic, cumin and a little cilantro.  Spread on tortillas or tostadas.  garnish to taste.

 

[username!]

interesting!  Gracias!

 

[Fr. George]

Mmmm.  Sounds good.

We're fewer than 3,000 posts from 300,000 for OC.net!  This means, based on recent posting patterns, that this milestone will be reached in the next 14-16 days!

 

[SolEX01]

Perhaps sooner if other hot topic subjects crop up?

300,000 posts - quite impressive.  ;D

Impressive for us, and other Orthodox fora.  Not impressive for, say RC and other big-Christian fora.  We'd like to think that our 300,000 are more meaningful, though!

Oh, God, I hope not. I don't think I could stand another discussion of pews.

I agree with you; but that's not exactly the motto of this particular thread...

Yikes.  Please, no.

Well, it would be most inappropriate for me to bring up several "hot topics" that would general lots of post, I'll wager, what with it being in the season of Lent and all.  Particularly one like "What is real Barbecue?  )

As we used to write on the old all text boards in the dim times <G, D and R>  ("Grin, duck and running")

I'd love a topic like that.  Of course, we don't have enough North Carolinians to make that one really interesting...
