I'm sure certain people couldn't if that lunch included bacon.

bacon is an evil scourge on the earth and should be eliminated..

oh and I'm going out for a walk to look for pick-a-nick baskets....I wasn't going to do it...but if I do find some...it is completely the fault of @sun rise and @ChristineM

Typical, blame anyone else but the culprit

Objectively I must agree, however relatively speaking it is not so bad.

I did not have any bacon including pumpkin spice bacon.

I did not have any bacon including pumpkin spice bacon.

I would not could not in a house
I would not could not with a mouse
I would not like it here or there
I would not like it anywhere!

at least for the pumpkin spice variety...

Come on all you degenerates. Give in. You know you want to. You know you must. Pumpkin Spice Candied Bacon - Olive Jude

but I did blame those who deserved it

Nah, there is never any excuse for frightening little Timmy at his birthday picnic

How not to do.it...

This morning I'm feeling like updating the lyrics to the Merry Minuet song. So sing along to this cheerful ditty

They're rioting in Africa. They're starving in Spain.
There's hurricanes in Florida and Texas needs rain.

The whole world is festering with unhappy souls.
The French hate the Germans. The Germans hate the Poles.

Italians hate Yugoslavs. South Africans hate the Dutch.
And I don't like anybody very much!

But we can be tranquil and thankful and proud
For man's been endowed with a mushroom shaped cloud.

And we know for certain that some lovely day
Someone will set the spark off and we will all be blown away.

They're rioting in Africa. There's strife in Iran.
What nature doesn't do to us will be done by our fellow man.

I didn't frighten little Timmy........ his name was Billy

Both

There was no Timmy... possibly a Tommy...but no Timmy.....stop spreading prevarications

So it's 3 now.

No, still 2...that is unless in French land you have some type of new French metric math no one else knows... or cares about

And now for something completely physics geeky

Attoseconds aren't fast enough for particle physics

2023's Nobel Prize was awarded for studying physics on tiny, attosecond-level timescales. Too bad that particle physics happens even faster.

bigthink.com

And if it travels for 1 yoctosecond (10-24 seconds), it travels up to 0.3 femtometers, or 3 × 10-15 meters.

If your particles are atom-sized (about an angstrom), then attosecond timing will do it. If your particles are atomic-nucleus sized (about a femtometer), then you need yoctosecond timing.

That many particles don’t live long enough to obey the “rules” that should bind all subatomic particles. And that particles that live for short enough amounts of time don’t even have definitive properties like mass, instead existing only in an indeterminate state due to the quantum bizarreness of nature. As far as we’ve come in our understanding of the Universe, getting down to attosecond timescales simply isn’t good enough to account for particle physics and all that it includes.

So why did that make me think of Yakov Smirnoff

So this fantasy pick-a-nick you have imagined ...that you think is real..... what color is the sky in that world and are there any piñata involved

 

[Wu Wei]

I actually had to turn the heat on yesterday..... it was in the 30s.... and not to far north of me...its snowing today
