Wow. A DIY cremation! I will have to keep this in mind as a lower-cost final solution.

I just hope that everybody here is paying attention to: INCREASING Water Vapor levels in the atmosphere due to Global Warming. Water vapor is one of the stronger greenhouse gasses. Therefore, it, by itself, might be thought of as a positive feedback loop. The hotter the temperature, the more water vapor in the atmosphere, and the more water vapor, the hotter the atmosphere will become due to water vapor being a greenhouse gas. Then, of course, higher Relative Humidity leads to heat stress when it becomes less easy to evaporate sweat from skin, causing overheating of the body. Obviously, society must do more to adjust to a world of 2 degrees C above 1850 baseline. When will we hit 2 degrees C? Well, the rate of change, the intensity, is increasing. Let's all choose the most dire scenario, the worst-case model, and then we can see that it might be just one decade before we hit 2 degrees C, when we all agreed to 1.5 degrees C. We need to insulate our houses. And, we need to plant trees like crazy. And, we need to remove inefficient buildings. Doing this, we can reduce the heat-island effect. And, we might be able to live in a world of 2 degrees above, for a short period of time, until.... We hit 2.5 degrees above, and then... We reach 3.0 degrees above, and so on. Soon, fairly soon, where we live will no longer be inhabitable. (It's not IF, but WHEN.)

Really? Because, there are so many of them, that it is difficult to decide on the worst, or even the worst of the worst. What disturbs me is this strange phrase: worst of the worst. This never sounds logical. If one is the worst, then there is only one. And that one is the worst. However, it might seem more logical to have "the worst of the worse", simply because you might have many of something that was worse than something else. You might think of having 10 balls. Ball A is bad. Ball B, C, D, are worse than ball A. And then you have another Blue Ball E which is the worst, ie, THE worst, one. And so then, you would have a group of four Blue Balls, B, C, D, E, that were all worse than ball A. Therefore, you could logically state that Ball E was the worst of the balls in the worse group: ie the WORST of the WORSE. But, you could not logically say that Ball E was the worst of the worst, because Balls B, C, D, E are not the worst balls. And so, logically speaking.... E is the worse of the worse. E is also the worst of the worse. BUT, you cannot logically state that Ball E is the worst of the worst! It is incongruencies such as this which make our lives less than worth living. But, what do you say, anyway? Worst of the worst? Even if it might not be logically pleasing? And what is the worst of the worse?: Have a Good One!

Well, I am perfectly OK with facetiousness, satire, irony, and parody, and understatement, etc. I just worry that others here might get the wrong idea. Note: Concerning the term 'Orientals", I think this is now frowned upon. As is Orientalism, too. But, I am OK with it, of course.

Springer always maintained a Touch of Class, and would never have sunk so low. LOOK a this guys FEET! Who in Thailand would ever invite someone with feet like this... Into their home? No doubt, his GF was just asking him.... "Did you wash your feet this month?" And then, for no reason, he might have walloped her. Hillbillies are big on WALLOPING....

Or, famous in the school Lunch Line, maybe....

Not so weird if he comes from the Appalachian region and Ozarks.... Look at his FEET. Has he been walking in the swamp for weeks? Looks like a Hatfield, or even... A McCoy. The Family Album!

There has been, for decades, many new and impressive designs coming out of Shanghai. https://www.officelovin.com/2024/01/a-look-inside-ccds-new-shanghai-office/ Also: NOT horizontal table. You misread, possibly. It is Horizon Table....

Good for target practice at the range. Low recoil, etc.

Many years ago, we tried legislation to ban home made guns, Saturday Night Specials, etc. They are not for collectors or hunters, or protection by homeowners, etc.... https://www.researchgate.net/figure/HOMEMADE-GUNS-GJ-ORDOG-ET-AL-JOURNAL-OF-TRAUMA-Saturday-Night-Specials-and-a-self_fig5_19563041 (Which reminds me: I have to make an emergency appointment with my dentist. I have a fractured tooth, etc.)

From this Famous Lynyrd Skynyrd concert, it is possible to see that... a. Not only is the recent generation FAR more interested in achieving FAME, but.... b. Breast size has been increasing, too, since the 1970s. c. I just wonder if, some day, breast size will finally get... Out of hand....... Cool World....

You do realize that a Home Made Gun is often referred to as a Saturday Night Special... Right? (Think Zip Gun)

Soul Train is DEFINITELY a WHITES Show. Just get stoned in the afternoons, and watch, and then you will understand. I and my buddies just LOVED Soul Train, back in the day.... Please refer to the following: a. Get Down, Get Down bb. Keep on Keepin't On Soul Train had us rolling in the aisles, at the time. Now, I realize that the music was great. It was only the dancing on the dancefloor, and what they were wearing at the time, that seemed a little ODD then. c. Could you have been a Soul Train dancer? They were so infamous that they finally became famous....

Yes. Good thinking! Saturday Night Special. Lynyrd Skynyrd knows best......

There IS NO .22LR rifle! There are just .22 caliber rifles and .22 caliber pistols and revolvers. In these guns, rifles and pistols and revolvers, one can choose to use the rimfire ammunition, as follows: .22 short .22 LR and a few others. Also, there is a .22 magnum (but, some rifles will not accept these, I think. When I was young, I found a few on the range, and they would not fit my rifle.) You can see what these look like...here... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.22_caliber#:~:text=.22 Long Rifle Extra Long,powerful than the .22 LR They are good for target practice. And, maybe good for rabbits, too. But, I would never buy these. I prefer the 0.460 Magnums, myself. ==== I have never seen a .22 centerfire, up close and personal, but I guess they must exist somewhere. Maybe NATO, or something?

I am really getting into this vid. This may be my all-time fav, this year. I just want to know how to find it on YouTube, or ... Who IS this woman? And, is she Famous? Or, is she a REAL Student? I have so many questions about this thing.

They will not be easily forgotten.

It's been done, and so doing it again, a second time, would not be worthy of Fame, but only... Cringeworthy.

Is it wrong to wish to be the Big Cheese?

ADDENDUM: Attached is a PDF copy of the FULL article mentioned in the above Original Post: I mean, it would have been attached, and I am ready to upload and attach this article, however, I am not sure how to attach the PDF file here, which I have stored on my desktop. Maybe I will try again later. Sorry.

Dear Folks, I have always wished I might have been famous in my life, just once. And, why is this? I wish I might have been famous enough, like David Bowie, to appear on Soul Train, just once. What is your Fame Fantasy? Do you dare to tell, here on this Famous Forum? Why not? Are you not anonymous here on TV? If I had been granted my wish, when I was younger, and even now, I would have opted to do this: Some Psychiatrists will tell you that an obsession with becoming famous is maladaptive. Do you believe this? I do not. I believe that it is not too late for me to be famous. I just need to get lucky. So, anyway, here is what some researchers say about our need and fascination and, almost constant daydreaming, with becoming famous. And, also, I would like to know why our newest generations, now yet to become adults, are even more fixated upon becoming famous than I ever was of appearing on Soul Train. (Soul Train? Me and my buddies watched Soul Train religiously, every afternoon, when we were teens. Great show!) Somedays, as I say, I worry my daydreams of fame might become troublesome for me or others....(like this guy worries, too, I guess): And, Billy Graham, who was so famous, and whose son I attended school with, probably would tell us that it is wrong to wish to be famous: And, here is BETTY who is having problems with her FAME-Fantasy: But for a more SCIENTIFIC Analysis, then you would want to read articles like this one. And, I am sure that I am NO Narcissist, Believe Me!: So I ask you: How much would you give to be famous. And, if you were famous, or if you were a famous author, or a famous footballer, or a famous politician,... How would your fame change your life, and... What would you do with your fame, besides improving our world? Would you have no one but girls around you, 24/7? I know that I would. I would drive a Bentley, with girls sitting to the left and to the right of me. And, the driver would be a girl. And all the girls would be Thai. I would not wish to become a famous author. And, if I were a famous author, then I would not really be famous. I would use a pseudonym. And, I would write under the pen name: Oliver Twist, being, in real life, rather twisted. How do you deal with your fantasies? Is there any hope for you, do you think? Regards, Gamma Note to Self: Becoming Famous, later in life, will not be so easy as it might have been when one was young.

This one.

Thank the gods for 3BB. I like everything ABOUT 3BB. Low Cost. Good Service Center. Excellent and Polite and Well-dressed (think Ivy League) technicians coming to my home. Almost always UP, and very rarely down. In the past, with other service providers, I really suffered. So much constant stress and worry over when the service would stop, and start, and stop, again. I just hope that 3BB never changes. I worry that, like DTAC, it will be bought out by a company that knows NOTHING about providing good customer service.
