Be Excellent To Each Other

Socks don't need matching, they need a search function, so I can find the cunts. So do car keys, and batteries, and most other things.
So it's actually life that needs a search button. Google Life. GET ON WITH IT.

I wear odd socks most days. I haven't got enough time, or inclination to sort socks out.

Oh man. Those Google glasses things? Imagine if it recognised objects and tracked the last time it had seen them.
Lost your keys? Ask your glasses, it shows you an image of where they were when you last saw them.

I have all black socks, so I never need to sort them.
I have a bajillion socks, so I never need to find them.

So do I. But i've bought different makes of black socks over the years.
I now have to sort my socks by varying types, yet they are all the same colour.

NERD-GUSH

That would mean wearing them all the time though. They need to plug that shit into my eyes instead.

Are they not close enough?

Every Christmas my mother in law gives me about 12 pairs of (unfailingly) Simpsons socks. These have a lifespan of about 14 months, so i throw them away when holes appear. Bizarrely, the socks do not wear at an even rate. So I hve many mismatched cheap Simpsons socks. It is a pain. having them RFID tagged would solve this in a snap. I keep meaning to change them all for black socks but haven't quite gotten around to it. I might do it now. in fact, I will.

Presumably they're induction charged from the body, requiring only an excess of energy release.

The low battery indicator is therefore simply to start blip-verting porn.

Even better - stuff yourself on too many chips? Turn your Google Eyes up to full power and burn off those calories!

I'm reminded of this...

No it wouldn't. It's not going to stop them wearing out unevenly and it's not going to be any easier to find the matching sock to throw them both away than just looking with your eyes. You still need to know where all the socks are, and the detector only bleeps when the sock in question is 'nearby' i.e. so close it's quicker just to look with your eyes than wave a plastic box at a jumble of socks and try to pick the right one using a sound alert. The whole idea's a load of pish that's not even slightly useful.

Mr Middleton was taken to hospital for a check-up, but a photograph of his ordeal soon spread across Twitter and Facebook.

A client called to ask if you could recall the email you have sent as it is blocking up her email box and she cannot get the other emails to load.

I've just had this message:-



Amazing...

Re: QI post above-

I suppose it's the same as when you get a new car you suddenly see that make onthe road a lot more, or if you shut your eyes and say you'll open then and count everything purple you get more than if you don't prime yourself.

Pfft. It's perfectly normal

It was the Abergavenny food festival. It was a tasting with lecture on unpastured, unhomogenised milk. It was very interesting indeed.

And it changed how I buy milk.

Now he buys milk solely via the method of interpretive dance.

Edit -- holy shit, I skipped to the end of that page where he says

I know someone who has totally bought into all that. He was my girlfriends best mate at uni and a few years ago, we met him for drink because we hadn't seen him in years. In the interim, he had become totally mental and the evening ended with a huge argument between him and my girlfriend because he was expressing all his thoughts and opinions about the police and insisting that if he witnessed a terrible crime he still wouldn't give his name to police because "that was his right", even if it meant the criminal going unpunished. He also spouted all the crap about not being subject to laws, and getting a mortgage then reusing to pay it because the banking system had given you the money without proof or some other nonsense.

Unsurprisingly, we haven't seen him again.

In 1962, as he gave his Guest of Honor speech at the World Science Fiction Convention in Chicago, science fiction author Theodore Sturgeon delivered the following anecdote about writer's block and fellow novelist, Robert Heinlein:

"I went into a horrible dry spell one time. It was a desperate dry spell and an awful lot depended on me getting writing again. Finally, I wrote to Bob Heinlein. I told him my troubles; that I couldn't write—perhaps it was that I had no ideas in my head that would strike a story. By return airmail—I don't know how he did it—I got back 26 story ideas. Some of them ran for a page and a half; one or two of them were a line or two. I mean, there were story ideas that some writers would give their left ear for. Some of them were merely suggestions; just little hints, things that will spark a writer like, 'Ghost of a little cat patting around eternity looking for a familiar lap to sit in.'

This mechanical, chrome-plated Heinlein has a great deal of heart. I had told him my writing troubles, but I hadn't told him of any other troubles; however, clipped to the stack of story ideas was a check for a hundred dollars with a little scribbled note, 'I have a suspicion your credit is bent.'

It is very difficult for words like 'thank you' to handle a man that can do a thing like that."

reticular activating system.
Fascinating bit of kit.

Does it come as standard on modern cars?

Got an email saying there is a £80m jackpot for the euromillions today, thought why not i'll give it a go. Ended up spending £10 on 5 lines
Then I was bored and thought I would have a look round the site and tried an instant win game (my first ever) for £2, won £20
