I am good.

 

[Fat Freddy]

So, thought I, if elephants are so fond of music, I'll play my bass to 'em............

Ho hum.....

Meghan and Harry are having twins.

Organic strawberries are cheaper than store bought.

I have a theory, if that's the right word, and after thinking about it, my confidence wanes.

Nevertheless, I believe that if I move a ferrous material in close proximity to a permanent magnet that has some sort of copper wire wound around it without coming into actual contact with the magnet, I believe that an electrical current will be induced in that copper wire.

Further, I believe that if I am able to change the length of, or the tension in this ferrous material, (let us suppose for the purpose of our discussion, that a wire or "string" of wire will suffice as the material I have in mind,) then I can increase the oscillation in this "string" and thereby effect a change in the frequency of the current thus induced.

Additionally, I believe that I can take this "current", if that is the term that best describes making the electrical current utile - let's put a pin in that and clean up our language later - and somehow amplify it before routing the signal to a "loud speaker", I may be able to provide a means of occupying my time, increasing my frustration, draining my bank account and filling my unoccupied storage spaces, for days, months or even years to come!

If I am correct, I may even be able to waste further time and treasure in discussing my theory in online forums!

I'll let you all know if my experiments prove fruitful. Stay tuned.

You guys are giving me GAS. I just spent $300 on random musical items, and that is already over my limit for the fiscal quarter.

Good in theory. Expensive in practice. It can lead to encountering a varied slice of humanity (and Gorn) that is afflicted with the same, or similar, symptoms.

While I appreciate your enthusiasm - believe me, I'm giddy with the prospect of a future where my research can be put to practical use - I must temper your excitement and remind you that it is all in the theoretical stage at present. Much work remains yet to be done. I will be publishing my findings in a peer reviewed journal in due time.

Your obt. svt.

This is my current ad.

Trying to avoid facial recognition?

 

[hondo4life]

I don't get that ad. Why can't I make $24/hr at Costco?

Hence the wildly fluctuating peanut market....

Hey, I'M not part of the problem... I'm the SOLUTION..

Or something...

 

[LowActionHero]

I grew peanuts and okra and shared with locals when i worked near the mouth of the congo river. Its where these plants originated. The name goober comes from the local ko ongo word goobah.

Locals considered okra leaves a delicacy and would strip these, killing the plants.

Indian guy brought in some gourd variety that grew 3 to 4 feet a night. Grew so fast it scared us into carefully eradicating it.

I also transplanted at least 10 bananna trees. They bear fruit in about a year if watered. Never got any bananas, locals always beat me to them.

Peanuts are MUCH better than Okra.

Okra is the Devil's .... Uh....

Okra...

This doesn't seem all that random...
