" NASA lost a $125 million Mars orbiter because a Lockheed Martin engineering team used English units of measurement while the agency's team used the more conventional metric system for a key spacecraft operation, according to a review finding released Thursday.

The units mismatch prevented navigation information from transferring between the Mars Climate Orbiter spacecraft team in at Lockheed Martin in Denver and the flight team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. "

more fun and games;

"On 23 July 1983, Air Canada Flight 143 ran completely out of fuel about halfway through its flight from Montreal to Edmonton. Fuel loading was miscalculated through misunderstanding of the recently adopted metric system. For the trip, the pilot calculated a fuel requirement of 22,300 kilograms. There were 7,682 liters already in the tanks. "

Why are you buying only 1 doughnut?

Ok my ability to empathize with people is substantial. Lets prove it. Perfectly legitimate life reasons.

1) To try it out and then come back if worth it.

2) To eat it in my single break of the day on the way to another job. No place to put the rest in the meantime because i use public transit (could happen even in silicon valley but definitely in Europe). Thats ok i have trident for my teeth.

3) Because my girlfriend has to stay up all night and she is at the library studying so i will bring the books she asked and the doughnut for a brief break she will take but i have to run right away to some lab quickly before the person there leaves. Oh and i used my bike...

4) Because a customer to whom i am delivering breaksfast only asked for one doughnut. (Some food delivery kid with a smartphone in his hand fulfilling orders.)

5) Because i forgot my wallet in the car while looking in it for an item and then quickly ran out thinking i put it back in my jacket but it actually fell off as i was taking the jacket while chatting to someone on the phone. At least the car is parked in a remote peaceful safe area in a village and probably nobody will find it even if dropped out of the car so i have time to get that doughnut. And now all i had in my pocket was $3 bills from last night's fast food's change.

Now add yours for fun!

6) Because one is a failure at everything one has tried and one only deserves one doughnut as a pathetic treat once in a while.

7) Because flight leaves in a few minutes and i wanted one last memory of the city and her treats on the way to the airport!

8) Because the power of one (the individual human spirit) is the single most important idea in western civilization.

9) Because it was number 7 in the bucket list to visit that one store one last time and get one of each of their best sellers.

10) Because your son ate one of the 12 different styles intended for the gift basket and you had to replace it.

11) To give to the local line bus driver that is your friend (tourist there) and who told you about this doughnut place and now on your way back home (or hotel) (yes in some countries people still use buses) you wanted to show some gratitude and evidence you took his suggestion seriously. The rest you ate there with friends and bought the single on the way out. (Maybe you got 1 of each kind of 3 things he suggested and you got all different 3 for him).

Is that before or after you inform them that their teeth would not be safe if you were face to face?

Because maybe that way they will self reflect into their screename/avatar and partial life mission. So it is empathy when expressed at that moment. Plus you do not have to execute in real life, only the idea of that possibility is enough.

So intimations of violence are good in a discussion about ideas and cultures?

Not that I don't agree with you, but it's still amusing when laid out like that.

Look. I will defend what i hold important to vile attacks in real life. You will get the strike for sure if you kept saying these things. It just wont be aiming at giving you a permanent damage (but your avatar suggests otherwise so you started the idea and i made it real to you) because i care for you even then at that moment.

What you did back then insulted an entire group of people that you have never met. My parents didnt raise me to be pseudo proud. They raised me to know what is wrong in the system i was born and what is great and to try to add to the great not to the bad. They taught me to care about other people. Any rage at that moment is not because i do not care but because i perceive in the other side's non care a life long damage to the proper procedure that people should treat each other when they disagree, as friends that aim for the common truth. That strike at that moment may be waking up the other side. Only reminding it that some lines must not be crossed because they insult the dignity of people that gave you life and spirit.

A lot of bad things can happen when people are angry instead of looking into each other as potential friend and trying to cooperate in the search of a solution to their common problems. When you disagree with someone the problem is the search for the truth of that situation. You may need positions from both sides to get to the the truth. An intelligent participant cares to win the argument with conviction and confidence not with intimidation and abuse of the process. So you do not want to dominate a discussion with constant attacks and emotional games. Instead you need to care to get there from a position of reason and care for the other side. Then it becomes a lot easier for the other side to reciprocate similarly civilized and also to change their mind because in doing so they do not get the feeling it is a matter of defeat or victory for either side but one of convergence for both where both participants mattered to the process's integrity.

Unrelated to this discussion this approach will work also in recent volatile times. All it takes to convert a racist for example is a few key examples where their own ideas and "friends" fail to offer solution/assistance/allegiance (where the extremist principles themselves precisely because of their weak selfish nature fail the individual) and yet the other side instead of delivering a final strike or showing apathy gets the opportunity to offer permanent proof of their dignity, humanity and care in the form of friendship and guidance by example. Intellectual laziness and ignorance is the true enemy. Nobody can ignore someone that cares. Especially if the main reason they got to their angry state is because of others not caring before or offering decent examples.

True story from Cape Pole, AK. There was this old log truck driver that had been in a rather nasty wreck. Log truck driving was all he knew. So he had to retire on disability. The nasty wreck damaged his rather large head, near the upper right-side frontal lobe (forehead) where he literally still had a large depression. A permanent smile seemed glued to his face. He talked funny but was stable on his feet. We fixed his truck for him, for free. What's his named I ask.

"Happy Jack"



Derive whatever lessons, moral or philosophical, from the above true story.

Every once in awhile, I think about Happy Jack. And of course I always do whenever I here that great song by The Who.

There's a bloke who lives on my estate. He stinks to high heaven and is obviously incapable of looking after himself properly. Yet he's always out there, talking to anyone who'll give him time of day, and happy as Larry, apparently. I'm curious as to the medical or psychological term for the condition someone has that has caused their life to fall apart to the extent that they are oblivious to basic personal hygiene.

They call that "failure to maintain basic grooming and hygiene." Clever, right? It is part of a mental status exam. It isn't indicative of any particular disorder, but generally isn't a positive sign of good mental health.

Hmmm, I can't imagine which poster this one applies to:

Thought content

A description of thought content would describe a patient's delusions, overvalued ideas, obsessions, phobias and preoccupations. Abnormalities of thought content are established by exploring individuals' thoughts in an open-ended conversational manner with regard to their intensity, salience, the emotions associated with the thoughts, the extent to which the thoughts are experienced as one's own and under one's control, and the degree of belief or conviction associated with the thoughts.

London?

You can now see why the Germans wanted to bomb the **** out of it.

Now, the puffy intermitted clouds floating around in a calm blue sky is wonderful.

Top five? Top five what? Top Five would be a great name for a Donut. I plan on being in London in early October. Perhaps I need to call ahead and get a donut order in before it is too late. Also, my arrival will just add another reason for the Germans to resume their bombing campaign.
