Circular and Circuitous Comments: Are they just better?

[GammaGlobulin]

Dear Folks,

 

Throughout my life, I have learned that it is best to always provide circularly-circuitous replies, comments, neigh! even Topics, rather than to speak directly.

 

Speaking directly often causes conflict.

 

Therefore, would it not be better to speak obliquely and nebulously, rather than to cause undue consternation and offense to some?

 

 Sometimes, yes it is true that, when speaking this way, some small degree of consternation is just unavoidable. Yet, still better to speak hazily, I say, rather than to risk what might be worse, if one spoke overly directly.

 

Maybe you do not feel this way, though…..

 

And, if you do not agree, the question is:

 

How do you go about your lives not causing offense or irritation to those you interact with?

 

Just another thought, maybe from one’s inner monologue/dialogue, that I wish to share this HOT Sunday afternoon.

 

Best regards,

Gamma

 

Note: Yes. The weather has shifted, this week, in CM. It’s HOT, for sure, about 36-degrees C. And, it will soon get a heck of a lot hotter, before this year’s Hot Season becomes the Raining and Flooding Season, sometime around the middle of June.

 

I love the heat.

I just cannot get enough of it.

In fact, the Hot Season is my favorite season in Thailand.

 

Just turn those 70,000 BTUs up FULL BLAST….and…

Enjoy!

 

HOT TOWN:

 

And....LAZING on Sundays (that's a gerund, Folks!):

By the way, and sorry that I am too late to add this thought to the original Topic:

 

The main problem with Air Conditioning in Thailand is that too many here scrimp on it.

 

This is why SEVEN is so very popular in these  parts.

SEVEN never scrimps on the AC.

You walk in, and immediately one is hit with a BLAST of frigid air.

 

In case you do not know:  This is one of SEVEN's most important marketing strategies, and it has been this way for decades.

 

But as I say, most people here tend to scrimp on the number of BTUs required to properly cool any given indoor space.

I do not.

 

One of the reasons I do not do this is that I learned how to use AC properly during my years in Hong Kong.

Do you think anybody in Hong Kong scrips on AC?

 

NO they do NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

You walk into almost any store in HK, soaking wet, from head to tow, clothes drenched with SWEAT...!!!!!!!

And then, so very quickly, the sweat soaking your clothes turns to ice water, if not ice.

This is what I once loved about Hong Kong, so much.

 

Of course, 25 years following the downfall of Hong Kong, to the commies, I really do not know what the state of HK AC usage might be.

I refuse to return, until....

HK becomes, once more, a colony of the UK.

 

Only THEN shall I return to HK.

 

But, meanwhile, I just wonder if that cold indoor air remains, or is now just another fond, but distant, memory.

Random superfluous word sneaking in, obviously.

Should have been scrimps.

This is just one more example of entropy happening in real life.

2nd Law, as you know.

I f you can't beat about the bush, you shouldn't beat at all.

 

I recently went to the Bank in Hong Kong, and the Bank was an upstanding edifice of traditional, trustworthy reliability, and I could  not fault them.

 

I went for a drink, and times have changed, things are different, but people are doing their best.  I did my best.

IMO your posts are more like Parkinson's Law at work, than the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

If one is unwilling to do one's best...then...

Why do anything at all?

Wait a cotton picking minute!

 

Do you think?

Should I be tested?

Should I then...

Post the results on TV?

Parkinson's LAW, not Parkinson's syndrome.

 

OTOH, dementia tests might be warranted.

OTOH, hopefully, not yet.

 

I will keep you informed, however.

You know, I must admit, that one of the concepts of Chemistry/Physics that I have always found most non-intuitive is that of...

Adiabatic Systems vs Non-Adiabatic Systems.

 

Do you also have a solution for this?

Meaning...

 

What is the best way to make this concept more intuitive?

 

Sure, it sounds easy enough, in words.

 

But when it comes time to actually DO the calculations:

 

I have always found this entire thing to be a BIG pain in the neck...

 

 

So then, you have any useful advice for someone like me?

A psychiatrist is bound to secrecy, so his results from your tests aren't available to the public.
