It was in your backpack, but according to our records... it seems you may have left it on the counter near the pineapple.
I can't connect to the satellite at the moment due to some interference from a data center substation shutdown in Greensboro, but as soon as I can find a open access path or reroute to a different satellite, I'll check it out... but it sound like a standard 375C situation... have you tried rebooting the simulation node?... sometimes items like keys and device chargers will respawn in their most common location.
Otherwise try leaving the area for ten minutes and see if it shows up.
your city parking inspectors not keen to write out an easy ticket?
It all depends on which "side of the tracks" you are on... in my old neighborhood in NYC you could report a guy running around with a severed head and they'd be like "is it just a head or does he have a knife too?... is it sharp looking?... how sharp?"
Around here a couple of people need to complain about a loud party or rowdiness... on the other side of Montauk Hwy/Main St. where all the fancy people can be found, it's not advisable to be naughty or there is a fairly swift response.
I'm not even going get into the next town up from here where apparently drunk driving and driving a broken in half tractor trailer dragging on the ground is not a frown worthy offense.
...I'm actually in a rather upscale part of town with relatively new aparment and condo buildings restaurants and shops. The issue, as I mentioned, is that the local police are pretty unresponsive about things like this. I haven't even seen a parking enforcement scooter let alone a police cruiser pull someone over for an infraction like speeding, driving carelessly, failing to yield at a marked crosswalk or running a stop sign. Apparently both the PPB (the police) and City Council don't seem to care any,mmore if the place goes to heck. A shame, as Portland used to be a neat, relatively safe, somewhat quirky place (in a fun if not almost whimsical way) when I first moved here.34 years ago.
If it isn't street racers in with their "fart can" exhaust systems, its meth-heads shouting at the top of their lungs in the middle of the night, break-ins, campsites with piles of trash taking up the sidewalks, vandals smashing windows and trashing property for kicks, and even gunfire.
Never move to paradise. You're just part of the crush. Make your own paradise and sell out ($$$$$$$$) after it gets crowded.
Oh, I'm just full of good advice. Here's one about the stock market. Buy low, sell high. And here's some medical advice. Don't breathe water. And some automobile driving advice. Wheels down. -- Captain Obvious --
always take the stairs, you will live longer
because the Daleks won't be able to follow you. (Well, if you actually take the stairs no one will be able to follow you.)
Especially if the building is on fire... apparently they don't want people taking the elevator then... seems an odd time to start exercising though.
I thought Daleks could fly now... or at least hover?... Or was that a special limited edition Dalek with Hovertron 6000 built in.
I've lost track of Doctor Who as they used to show them out of sequence, were inconsistent with what time they were on and now they are gone from the streaming service I realized they were on and which I thought I'd catch up on them... but I never got around to because people kept telling me "you gotta watch this show" and I'd watch it and seriously start wondering about that person's mental state... Watching awful shows people tell you so you can get them to stop asking "did you see it yet" gets time consuming.
Unless you fall down the stairs.
Especially if the building has those M.C. Escher stairs...
You could be falling perpetually...
Or not at all!
Wait, wait, who was wearing the blonde wig?
Remember that it is not the fall that kills but the landing. So falling perpetually would be better than a regular fall (with landing).
at least you can grip the railing
doing so in the elevator won't help whether it's falling or you are having a cardiac arrest from leading a sedentary life
That depends on the gradient in the gravitational force - I can't recall the full saying but it is along the lines that a mouse dropped down a mine-shaft will shrug and scamper off, a human dropped down a mine-shaft will die, and a horse dropped down a mine-shaft will splash. Fall into a small enough black hole and your very atoms will be pulled apart before you reach the singularity.
The way to learn to fly, is to fall down and miss the ground.
I'm cold. I'm just so cold.
A mouse's survival is probably more because of his air resistance rather his momentum or the gravitational gradient. The horse has no hope.
That wasn't worded well, was it? It could be either the robot or the kid - or both, lol.
I think the guy in the red shirt is a football fan. He probably might be glad he isn't a red shirt in Star Trek?
Non-complaint: Some people need a few helping hands to play Rachmaninoff Piano Concertos. And here's an example (fun begins at 31:30, party at 32:25, tuckered out at 34:10 Clip below is Alexander Gavrylyuk playing the 3rd concerto. I've seen Gavrylyuk play at Chautauqua at least 3 or 4 times. He gives classes and concerts there each year. And when he played the Rachmaninoff 3rd concerto it was magnificent. The whole amphitheater was on their feet instantly with hoots of "bravo", "YES!", claps, stomping of feet, slapping back of seating benches. The applause went on for many minutes until he went on to give us several encores, all equally amazing. The comments on the clip below tell the truth.
And you're invited to strap yourself in for the 3rd movement at 49:24. "5000 Happy Happy Fingers". Bomb bay doors open at 1:01:13, bombs away at 1:01:55
That hands with hands picture is very creepy.
And yet somehow it's still better looking than most AI generated hands.
...Portland actually stole that from Austin TX.
...I discovered an interesting situation earlier this year. There was some water damage in the building on the lower floors and they had to repair and area around one of the fire stair areas, When I went through the doorway one day underneath where they were working, I noticed that the stairs were wood framed.
This is in a government subsidised building built in the 90s.
Made me think about the Grenfell Tower fire in the Kensington district of London that burned six years ago.
....learning to land an aeroplane is an exercise in controlling a fall.
Somehow Ryanair forgot that part in their pilot training programme.
Houdini, man.
I just noticed that my mouse jumped off my bed. Not sure why. The mouse is doing okay now. or maybe I accidentally knocked the mouse off the bed.
I wish I had a desk, so I don't have to use my computer on my bed.
