yamayamayama replied to 2pints-mate's topic in General off-topic discussions
There are such things as sensitive, shy, good boys you know. I was one of them. I didn't take advantage of a few situations when I was a young'un.... regretted it but my moral compass told me to. -

Not only was he exceptionally stupid for leaving it in his bag, but stupid for doing it in the first place. -

Amazon postage times in different countries
yamayamayama replied to scouser's topic in General off-topic discussions
There's no amazon.oz? I wonder what they do for packages that are not sent out with the express. They often get sent fairly quickly, it just takes an age for them to arrive. Got to wonder if they don't just leave them for a day or two. Would really be interested to know how that all works. -
Good movies you've seen recently

Love this: The concert promoters for Michael Jackson's planned shows at the O2 Arena in London today offered fans the option of a "specially created" souvenir ticket rather than a refund. AEG Live said full refunds were available for all legitimately bought tickets, but suggested some fans of the singer, who died on Thursday, would prefer to receive a ticket "inspired and designed by Michael Jackson for the fans" and made with a "special lenticular process". They are not able to have both.

Education-What's it really worth?

The ability to discern the provable facts from the dross. Well it's good to see that everyone is so expert at doing this and obviously more intelligent enabling them to know exactly what is fact and what -

And in the process of doing that clearing, the memory of the chaff or possible chaff gets imprinted into the memory and lingers. If only the human brain could have a selective delete function! -
Education-What's it really worth?
yamayamayama replied to Mantas's topic in General off-topic discussions
What you are saying sounds very 'ideal', doesn't it. Not everyone wants to become totally consumed by a research quest - and totally consumer is what it would do in terms of time and emotional energy. In my relatives case, they decided that they wanted to get on with their lives as normally as possible without cluttering their brains with the inevitable misinformation that they would inevitably consume in some quest for 'the truth'. They are much more at peace with the way they have chosen. They are not just talking to one doctor, but a whole army of them (it seems). Each doctor a -

Quote: I hear and understand your point YYY, but it is not knowledge that caused this - it was lack of knowledge. Well, more like it was incorrect information that caused it along with not wanting to input incorrect information. Were you not though in your comments talking about 'information being power and something that you cannot get too much of'? 'Knowledge' is of course a different thing.
