Pink Floyd: Have A Cigar [youtu.be]

Max_d_cat comments on Feb 8, 2019:

Fun fact, that’s Roy Harper on vocals. He was recording at the same studio as Pink Floyd and was hanging out in their studio. Roger was having a tough time making the vocals work and they decided to let Roy take a run at it. He nailed it.

273kelvin replies on Feb 8, 2019:

@LenHazell53 You mean like the moon landings? 15 astronauts (18 if you count Apollo 13). numerous technical staff, both at NASA and in Australia where they relayed the signals. Not one of them got drunk and told their wives gfs, or bestie. 9/11 is a classic example of denial by conspiracy. The most powerful nation in the world cannot accept the fact that it let 6,000 of its people be killed by some nutters with craft knives. So it looks for reasons other than its own inadequacy. "A worldwide zionist plot to which our own govt agencies were complicit". Lady Diana, all those people who would buy magazines with her picture on were the people who killed her. If no one gave a shit then the car would not have been going so fast. But "oh no it cant be our fault. Lets blame the royal family" I could go on but whats the point.

As for other animals and their deaths at our hands........ In Harvard university there exists 3 types of white mice. To all intents and purposes they are the same. No difference in breed colour or genetics but nevertheless they are classified under 3 separate types. The 1st is the experimental mice. They live under strictly controlled humane conditions and anything you do to them has to be documented and approved. The 2nd are the mice kept to feed the snakes. They are reasonably well looked after but end their days been swallowed alive. The 3rd are the white mice that are descendants of escapees. These infest the walls and floors of the building and you can do what you like with them.

United has played in Moscow the night before and fans were returning back from the game. The game had united on top until last when Moscow equalised then went on to win on penalties. As we drove the opposite lanes were deadlocked. I mean the queues were so bad people were out of their cars and sitting on the barriers.

273kelvin replies on Jan 31, 2019:

@dahermit The UK went metric (sort of) we still have pints, miles and therefore mph but these are measurements for the individual, not for export. In all else its metric. The advantage of this is trade. If you make tools, kitchens, pipe or anything that you wish to sell outside of the US. Then there is a distinct advantage to using the sizes that the rest of the world requires. It is only that the US is the biggest market that has kept her from this. A dual system can only work in a short term interim period. In the end you have to bite the bullet as we did and plunge wholeheartedly into metric. Anything else courts chaos. The biggest fuck up not involving injury or loss of life. A joint mission between NASA and the european space agency (ESA) sent a probe to Mars.All went well until it approached the red planet and then it just disappeared. An investigation was launched to discover how this $5 billion project could go so wrong. In the end they discovered that NASA was calculating entry speeds using mph whilst ESA was using the international scientific standard Mps. It just burnt up

@Gooniesnvrdie Firstly let me say that I respect vegans especially more than vegetarians who hypocritically denounce me for eating meat but happily eat dairy. However I must say that terms like murder are too strong. We have because of our society rightly outlawed the killing of another human unless under very defined terms. It is part of every legal and moral system ever devised. Jeffrey Dahmer killed his victims. That is different than pure cannibalism. I have met people who have ate placenta, we all have eaten loose skin on our finger and even the spit swallow debate could be defined a cannibalism. The killing of animals is not and should not be called murder. To do so is to impose your world view on others. A practice that we abore in theists. What Edison did was abhorrent, cruel and totally reprehensible. You can call him a cunt but not a murderer. To do so would condemn all non-vegans as complicate murderers. Which sounds to me like theists who condemn any that do not adhere to their particular branch of religion as sinners and the devils agents.

Thats what pisses us genuine guys off. You send out loads of messages but all the women are too fucked up by scammers and players.

Does the end justify the means?

Biosteelman comments on Jan 25, 2019:

It's the classic conundrum. Superman would say no. To sacrifice even one along the way defeats the purpose. Lex Luthor would say of course. In the long run only the ends matter. I use a comic book characters because it really simplifies it. So ask yourself who you'd rather be Lex or Clark?

@TomMcGiverin I just looked at your pic and its good for 60. Outdoorsy and smiling, an action shot of you walking a trial may be better but its good. As for hair theres not much you can do about that but no combover and women especially in our demographic will accept that. Your profile bio is less so. Its not so much the music on the album rather than the track listing. Starting off with "coming out of a 20 yr marriage" then all the "dont likes". Better to list all the positives first. What you like and what you love. Reading your bio and you give the impression that the date may end up with you bitching about things all night. Sorry for being critical but your quite good looking and it maybe that other factors are involved.

Let us not forget that males tend to fill the more dangerous jobs in society like construction and logging. Though if we are on demographics then we have to factor in those who are on dating sites. As this tends to be a greater number of males to female (the figures even out as the ages get higher). Then we have to look at who messages 1st. This is a ratio of 3.5 to 1 males. If ladies message 1st they would get more of what they want instead of what they can get http://blog.apptopia.com/dating-apps-male-dominated

Finding intelligent, with the exception of this site, seems like too big of a reach. On a certain site where they match questions, one is: "Are you more intelligent than other people?". I have only seen one person say "no". Everyone says "yes". Messaging a bit reveals otherwise.

I totally agree, there are a lot of scammers on those sites. More so today than before. That is mainly because of AI where a machine can create fake profiles in large numbers and these sites do not always have the technology to block them.

273kelvin replies on Jan 23, 2019:

Scammers are a problem. The better sites do not allow you to msg email addresses till you have been on there a while. This can cut down but not totally eliminate the problem. My point in the post however was not scams but players. More relevant to female members its true but how to spot them is a tip we could all benefit from.

273kelvin replies on Jan 22, 2019:

I think that you can tell a lot from a profile pic. Remember that this is the first impression that they want to send out. So if its kinda beige, in the kitchen or with their kids I get a vibe that theyre not for me. Not that theres anything wrong with that but I want someone more stimulating than a soap watcher. I will read profiles but "Fill in later" and Im gone. I will sometimes msg someone with no pic but a well written profile.

273kelvin replies on Jan 22, 2019:

@SleeplessInTexas Firstly I must ask are you sure? Is this real or partly fantasy? Have you constructed scenarios that fit in with your emotions or would he really abandon everything to be with you? You say he is much older than you. Given that you are 41 then this is no time to wait upon a fence and wish. If you were 20 something then you would have time to waste, heal and move on but how long are you willing to only have the man of your dreams only in those dreams? Unless you make that call and simply say "I want you" then the rest is just conjecture. We like to play out scenes in our heads of how things will be yet in reality things are messy and far more complicated. Have ever seen the film "Truly madly deeply"? In it the heroine cannot get over the death of her husband. She moves to a new home but still grieves too much for him. So he returns as a ghost. At first it is wonderful. They catch up, sing and dance but time has moved on. He is in another place and gradually she learns (with the help of his annoying habit of bringing all his ghost mates back to watch videos) to move on too. Make the call or fold and move on. I know it is so hard but the alternative is a slow crushing emotional death and you deserve better than that.

Rape Culture No Myth.

273kelvin comments on Jan 21, 2019:

In my experience a woman is far better off getting a few rent-a-thugs to give her justice than the legal system

273kelvin replies on Jan 22, 2019:

@GinaKay There is a difference between the personal and the societal. In terms of society you are of course 100% right. However given the legal difficulties of rape cases, even a good case with a strong, efficient, and dedicated prosecution. Often it will come down to "He said she said" which always allows the benefit of doubt to swing towards the defence. That is in a good case, many are not. Time may have elapsed, evidence lost, sometimes by the prosecution itself (I have known this happen). So on a personal level if I were to advise any woman close to me how to proceed? I would go with thugs. The chances of getting justice legally are too small. It is rather like bullying. Whist we all condemn this and would want schools to act to stamp it out. We know that telling the teacher etc. is the least effective way to deal with it on a 1 to 1 level. Far better to teach your kid to stand up for themselves and encourage them to make more friends. Systems are not perfect. The legal system is far from it. Unless we want to remove the concept of innocent till proven guilty and reasonable doubt from rape cases. With all the repercussions that may have in false accusations. Then I stand by my comment
