the troubles go deeper than that, ~50% of the population are ladies and they gave birth to men, gave birth to the trouble, played no small part in raising them also

soooo blame the majority of the victims. surely one has a choice, to a certain degree, as to what path they follow? This quoted comment also fails to take into account the possible dynamics of the household where these men grew up. Does the woman, not lady, have much say in how the males are brought up? has she much say in who they associate with?

I blame chemicals for our behaviour.

We live on a chemical world.

We are made-up of thousands of chemicals.

We require chemicals to live.

We communicate sexually using pheromones.

The brain consists of thousands of chemicals arranged in a 3D chemical structure.

Which senses the chemical world through a chemical body using sensory perception .

Which can store memories of the chemical world and retrieve them later.

Using these memories we can educate ourselves to be reasonably intelligent.

How to behave properly in a chemical body on a chemical world using electro chemical memories.

We use memories of education in the past to help connect concepts together in the present and in the future.

Some people have a problem with we, cough.

We understand all the above here as reasonably educated people.

A lot of other people out there are not educated to grasp future connected concepts.

So they don’t behave properly, like masturbating on chief whip office desks or storming congress with the intension of violence or bashing their partner and other types of general bad behaviour.

We may have believed this for a long time but it is only now that evidence is becoming substantial enough to be able to reference.
I recall comments at the time when DDT was banned in the 70’s that due to the manner in how it accumulated in the food chain, the amount that was already in the ecosystem we could not realise the full potency until the 2020’s.

Yes, there a lot of chemicals that are dangerous and can cause harm and death.

Regarding behaviour, its the lack of education in primary schools, secondary schools and universities, both public and private. We can teach that a lot of knowledge and information can be validated. Behaviour itself is just as important as other subjects.

A cafe offers three options for breakfast:

• bacon and eggs
• pancakes
• sausage and hash browns

If four students come in, the waiter could get any of 81 different orders, since each person could ask for any one of the three things, and 3^4 = 81.

Unlike the waiter, the cook doesn’t need to know which customer gets what: he only needs to know how many of each breakfast plate to make (for example, three plates of bacon and eggs and one plate of pancakes). Considering this, and assuming that each student asks for only one breakfast plate, how many different possible orders are there that the cook could receive?

6!/4!2!

So we ran it through the OCR software we have (on mollwollfumble’s behalf; it’s download, we didn’t invent it) and make of that what you will.

Anyway here’s how we figure it.

There’s a required total of 4 things, which can be assigned to 3 different groups. We can group them under B P S like so.

B | P | S
_ _ | _ | _

That would represent BB, P, S or if you like a different representation, 2 B, 1 P, 1 S. The important thing to note here is that there are 4 _ and 2 |.

We know that this model works, from our time as statistical mechanics, and this is how you find the entropy of a system with N particles among which to distribute Q energy quanta.

So all we need to do is figure how many ways there are to sequence 4 _ and 2 |.

If everything were different then that would be 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 possibilities (pick any of the 6 first, then you have 5 left, and so forth, and freely choosing you can multiply).

However, if 4 of the objects are the same (_) then usually there would be 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 ways to sequence them, which we can’t distinguish. Divide by that.

Similarly for the 2 objects that are the same (|).

So you have 6*5*4*3*2*1 / 4*3*2*1 / 2*1 or as we wrote it 6!/4 which turns out to be 6*5 / 2*1 = 15.

We’re presuming knowledge that the ! means multiply that many counting numbers together.

Note that we don’t even list a single actual sequence using this method.

Also when we learnt / taught this stuff we always found it cool because you can actually show how Thermodynamic Law 2 works even using “small” numbers.

For several years, multitap was the standard means of generating text messages on a mobile phone’s alphanumeric keypad. The first phone I had used it exclusively. In the late 90s this methodology was supplanted by predictive T9 technologies but you still had to use multi-tap if for instance you had to spell out a name that wasn’t in the T9’s database yet. Then there was the era of Qwerty keyboards typified by Blackberrys in around 2002 and finally the smartphone era with no physical keypad pioneered by Motorola and that’s kind of where we are now.

I’d completely forgotten about the multi-tap text messages. My fingers are too fat to accurately use text on my current phone (and the previous two phones). My texts are therefore quite terse if I can get away with it. If not, I call.

That does indeed look familiar. I didn’t claim the typewriter because I didn’t have anywhere to put it. I think my brother has it in his garage. I also remember getting the first electric typewriter for the practice which had some memory in it. We may have had the first one in Hamilton. It was a wonder at the time. But once you got word processing, there was no way of going back to typewriter and carbon copies.

Once you could buy a typewriter ribbon at just about any newsagency. Same as you could buy a bottle of ink.

Nowadays you have order them bespoke from a little man who makes them in Lichtenstein or something like that.

Spare a thought for those of us who developed very strong finger muscles from learning to touch type on one of these typewriters. All my uni assignments were done on one of these. (Well, a similar model). You also had to know how to change the ribbon, after you had gone through it end to end and then flipped it to get another run out of the ink. And Tippex…

Ha!

My Royal typewriter (a little earlier than that one – made in1934) is still in daily use. For our shopping lists. It need a service though, and will get one this month. I’ll go photograph it.

I can’t see any of these on your table MV…

A friend from way back in the late 70s was a typewriter mechanic. I expect his trade is having a bit of a renaissance in these hipster days.

:)

I got that in the 1980s, not working. I dismantled and serviced it in the mid-1990s. It badly needs another service.

It came from a friend’s father who I was helping by taking accumulated rubbish to the tip. He had retired from his UNE professor’s position and was moving to the coast. He had typed his PhD on it, some time in the 1960s. It was more than 30 years old then. It’s 87 years old now.

I bought a couple of ribbons from a shop only a couple of blocks away from home in Moorooka when we live there. Both ends of the current ribbon are effectively ink-free now. During the service I’ll cut them off, and run a shorter ribbon.

I still have one unopened ribbon left. They survive for years in their sealed plastic wrap.

No. It’s not an officially kept document. I either overtype, or XXXX out errors. I know – Barbarian…

But I do have a bottle of Wite-Out in the shed. I use it for other things.

Personally I miss the physical qwerty keypad phones. I used to peg along at a blinding pace on the BB. Maybe I’m just past it but I find I cannot properly touchtype on glass.

I can type on the iPad with two fingers pretty quickly (as I’m doing now), but for proper writing I have a Bluetooth keyboard.

I seem to recall that there used to be an area of Melbourne that actually had phone numbers that began with 555, and kids would try the numbers they hear in movies, just to see who they got.

I gave my typewriter to a hippy friend when I bought a new computer.

Sadly he died last year and was buried in this flat-pack Phantom coffin.

If he’s the ghost who walks, can he bring your typewriter back?

I don’t want it back.

I’m wondering what happened to his wife. I sent her the usual Xmas card last year but didn’t get one from her.

Sleep mode works pretty well.

I’m told that re-start after a full shut-down does work sometimes, but I wouldn’t want to rely on it.

The fine print says meat and dairy can lead to erectile dysfunction.

The only way i can think of for meat to interrupt your sex life is if the butcher rings up ‘during it’ to check your order.
