What did you learn today?

[PWRL]

I learned that my family's property in Iowa was noted in the 19th century as having what was referred to as "lead-bearing crevices" on it, presumably in the form of galena. It explains one particular spot. I don't think I'll be starting up a lead mine any time soon, though.

I learned that life is a carousel....

it used to be an 80's Honda Civic...

 

[the harp unstrung]

(I need to look up the word 'galena'.
It doesn't sound like something that I'd want on my resume...)

 

[the harp unstrung]

am I the only one that read that as vulva on the 1st quick glance ?

Yes.
You are the only person on the internet who read it that way.
You are a terrible person.

 

[the harp unstrung]

Every parent...EVERY parent since parenting was invented, no matter their race or age or culture or height or weight...is moved when someone compliments their child.

 

[buzzbass]

Yes.

Bugger Off ! LOL

 

[Killed_by_Death]

I finally learned how to play "Into the Void" on guitar.
I'm surprised it's taken me this long to get around to it.

I learned that toddlers in the U.S. are better shots than elsewhere in the world. 26 people shot by toddlers so far this year.

No, they are just thugs, animals who should be locked up and the key thrown away, if not executed. Think of the victims.

...so, hitting the 'like' button would just feel tooooo weird, and I can't find the 'what the hell is this country coming to?!?!' button.
What's an American to DO?!?!

 

[petrus61]

I learned Radiohead dropped a new album.

What a well-reasoned and accurate rebuttal of those who believe criminals should be accountable for their actions and victims and their families should be respected. :eyeroll:

I know, there are no thugs, there are no "animals" who have zero regard for the law, there are only misunderstood victims of poor upbringing and social oppression who should be given a cozy dorm, a free masters degree, and a $70,000/yr salary... then they would stop trying to hurt us.

Instead of admitting their million dollar idea is really a dud, people will waste a ridiculous amount of your time trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.

Actually it was joke, one I thought even you might enjoy.

But seriously, you treat people like animals, they become them.

Very few of us are entirely without a sense of remorse and empathy, true 'monsters', and very few are pure good, incapable of doing harm or acting reirehrnsubly. Every psychological experiment, every study of comparative models of incarceration or treatment, points to the sheer failure of meeting violence with more violence, treating only the symptoms of crime, etc. etc.

Your way is just not working, and my way just is. But you won't do the research, follow my links, consider the alternatives, and like I did with my joke you take extreme examples to make a point.

Soldering better than yesterday.

I'm pretty sure I'm in the process of learning what it takes to get a thread shut down...(and Such a cool thread, too...)

 

[bluesblaster]

I learned that Rock n Roll is just getting too expensive, checked the ticket prices on the big Super Rock show in Indio Ca. in October..... $ 399 just to walk through the gate, $1599 for the good seats, Bloody Hell !!

 

[bluesblaster]

I wonder what the admission was for California Jam back in the 70's at Ontario speedway.

"Didja hear the one about the guy who paid $500 to go to a rock n roll show?"
"I went to Watkins Glen for $15 and a promise to bring along an extra bottle of wine..."
