Human nature is pretty well balanced; for every lacking virtue there is a rough substitute that will serve at a pinch--as cunning is the wisdom of the unwise, and ferocity the courage of the coward.

I know myself well enough to know that for me at least resolutions are bullshit. Me flesh is far too weak.
Except in this case, my bff's wife is a first responder medical and is also a devout Catholic.
I hereby resolve to try not to be a dick unless absolutely necessary .

Re: A Thought for the Day
I read somewhere that science boffins at the North Atlantic Space Association had spent millions and millions of dollars researching and developing "non-stick" materials as part of the space program. Not only that, these materials had crossed over into the domestic arena to be used in the kitchen in such things as cooking utensils, non-stick pans or whatever.
Can anyone else see the obvious discrepancy here? Because, if you are frying sausages in space, due to the effects of zero gravity, you will need a "stick pan". Otherwise you'll have sausages bouncing all over the place, and airborne hot fat burning through wires and control panels and shit, running the real risk of causing massive instrumental failure and a cataclysmic rocket accident killing thousands. The idiots didn't think about that, did they?
Thats the problem with these academic science types. No common sense.

But here, in the murk of conflagration, where scarcely a friend is left to know we, the survivors, do not flinch from anything, not from a single blow. Surely the reckoning will be made after the passing of this cloud. We are the people without tears, straighter than you ... more proud...

So here's my thought for the day: Is that not a self refuting assertion?That all truth is relative and there is no objective reality that is true and discoverable.
