Weird News Thread Part III

Neg rep, just so you know.

 

My New Year's resolution is on hold.

 

I made a new years resolution many years ago not to make new years resolutions and, let me tell yer, I've stuck to it religiously since then

 

I'm sure that when you were in the pub with your mates you generously bought them a round.

 

Actually, that reminds me of the first time I took the little women, (TLW), out for a drink.

I'd bought the first round and, as someone who liked to think of herself as a 'noo woman', (she abandoned THAT pretence PDQ lemme tell yer), she opened her purse to buy the next one... and a moth flew out

True story!

 

You like midgets?

 

Has anyone clicked on the BS ad for getting a concealed carry permit online. Only 3 qualifications. I especially like the 2nd one.....

2. Have you been judged Insane in the past 5 years?

A [very] few of the posters here could possibly qualify. Maybe!!

 

I don't get that sort of stuff, presumably as I'm not in America-land. I seem to be getting ads for online forex trading and similar things I'm NEVER going to do.

But, as you say, it makes you wonder if anybody's going to apply and answer that question with, 'No... not since the voices in my head have stopped'.

And rumor has it Hel has frozen over....

 

It landed in Liverpool?

One of the guys in the comment section gave them a nein out of ten rating.

Area man assaults wife for cheating on him, now faces attempted murder charge.

Okay, that's just standard issue POS behavior. The weird part:

Mr. Rudalavage is accused of choking and brutally assaulting his wife, Lori Williams-Rudalavage, after he had a “bad dream” about infidelity, according to a criminal complaint. Mr. Rudalavage initially was charged with aggravated assault, a felony, and numerous other crimes.​

​

Guy gets drunk, has a bad dream, beats his wife.

I loved you,” Mr. Rudalavage said, according to the complaint. “Now I am going to kill you.”​

Our "3D" universe may be an elaborate hologram.

The idea that our universe is a hologram was first proposed in the 90s. It suggests that all of the information – what we think is our 3D reality, and time – is actually just contained on a flat surface on its boundaries.

"Imagine that everything you see, feel and hear in three dimensions (and your perception of time) in fact emanates from a flat two-dimensional field," said Kostas Skenderis, a professor of mathematical sciences at the University of Southampton. "The idea is similar to that of ordinary holograms where a three-dimensional image is encoded in a two-dimensional surface, such as in the hologram on a credit card.

"However, this time, the entire universe is encoded."

Think of the implications. If I run a stop sign and smash your car, I'm going with the "we're all just holograms anyway" defense.

 

Thank you for this. I had thought that the hologram theory was not being actively/robustly pursued. String Theory kind of drowned everybody out for a while.

I'm going to have to jump down the math rabbit hole to see what it is they are talking about.

 

One of those posts that match up well with the avatar.

I was on a pre-engineering fiber optics job in the middle of the BNSF RR Yard in Chicago that was under reconstruction when a long freight came to a halt. The train Engineer [w/bloodshot eyes] ran over to me and asked, "where in hell am I". He hadn't been there in a while and didn't recognize anything.

 

Remind you of anyone @Moishe ?

 

A less sanguine person than yourself might worry at that point...
