interrupt Nirmal Pandey

Is that an order?

Who is Nirmal Pandey, and why is he/she saying those terrible things
about me?

I've never hear of Nirmal Pandey, but maybe because s/he is a strange loop.

Anyone named Nirmal Pandey would have to be a strange loop. Or as we
said back in 8th grade, a fruit loop.

I don't think there's a very big chance that he/she will start a
dialog with us.

When I'm talking to someone and they say they are from (whatever the
place is that I've heard of before) I always say "I've heard of it."
That is an experience I'm likely to have again. It is much less likely
that the spammer will read these words, which is a long winded way of
saying "i agree".

I've been commenting on it as if it's legit, which I shouldn't have
been. Also, I'm geting really reluctant to go to just any random
website I see (thus ignoring the one they show). Anyway, I should
have just ignored it, as they always tell you to do.

I dunno. Ignoring seems kind of rude when it might be worth looking at.
We don't know until somebody clicks on it. I'm not going to visit the
site though, just because I saw similar emails in too many different
places. Maybe I'd open it if I ONLY saw the email here...

I only saw it here, thus I didn't share your experience of having seen
it elsewhere and thus immediately identifying it as spam. Still, I
won't go there because of the new forms of nastiness constantly bred
up. If my rubber were infallible I'd consider it.

Therefore, logically, one can use Swiss chess as a rubber.

What does logic have to do with the relationship between a coin falling
in a bank and a rubber? Why should you expect a higher level of logical
connection between that my reply?

My thinking was, at least I used a word you used in your comment.

Oh, I don't know, I just thought it was a syllogism, the two
statements implying the 3rd. Socrates is also mortal, as are all
men.

And I said Swiss CHESS! What an interestiing Freudian slip. Must be
because I've been thinking about chess being a game trillions of times
less complicted than normal human interaction, but so few people
realize that, conversation being taken for granted.

That is very noble, but I too used a word or two you used in your
comment.

Nitpick: Socrates WAS mortal. Socrates left behind some immortal words,
relatively speaking. Ben Franklin was also mortal, and he also wrote
some words still read. The difference is that 200 plus years is small
compared to whatever it was for Socrates. I'm not sure how old something
has to be before the words "immortal words" start to apply.

I would guess that words become immortal when time proves that they
have great utility (great comfortable survival value) to humans and
the Earth in general.

In the old days we had clogged toilets; now we have "plumbing issues."

The inclusive "or" reigns - both are correct.

I remember one time I was watching The News Hour, and the Democratic
leaning commentator said "some people want the sex apeal, and some
people just want the plumbing to work." I think of that every time I
hear somebody say something like "I need a fatter internet pipe."

Around here conserving water is a way of life for most of us. I still
remember moving to Sacramento in '91 (after something like six years of
drought) and finding out that near the State Capitol are buildings where
the toilets are designed to flow 24 hours a day. For me, that was a
plumbing issue.

Unless they were connected to an artesian well. It's hard not to
think of them as wasteful, but they're no more so than a river flowing.

NOW WAIT JUST A GOSH DARN MINUTE!!!!!!

The State Capitol building could have artesian well, for all I know.

I unforget visiting Monument Valley many years ago. About 3/4th's of
the way around their loop drive was an artesian well, a pipe about 10
feet tall with water constantly running out of it. Kind of like solar
energy, in a way, an endless supply.

Actually, I think it was American River water, gravity fed for the most
part. Yeah, that might have been cheap, but as a former resident of
Santa Clara County I had culture shock that they would do that. Around
here water is a valuable resource.

Ok, like, how did they do it? Like, one plopped their behind above an
endlessly flowing stream of water? It does seem like they could have
built some sort of flush system.

Tian

The endlessly flowing water was the flush system. It was like an old
fashioned urinal with a drain at floor level, a porcelain wall that came
up to chest level, and a valve at the top with no tap that just ran
endlessly. You walk up, piss into the waterfall, and walk away. No
thought required. Probably there is a pump somewhere providing pressure,
or maybe it was gravity fed. I don't know.

BTW: I just watched the last Presidential Debate, except for the one on
Sunday which is going to be the one where my vote is at stake, for one.
The reason I brought it up was that both candidates referred to Joe the
Plumber.

Then you have to take a few extra steps and go sit on one of the
porcelain thrones with a flush lever and tank, just like a normal
bathroom.

I suspected as much, but had to compulsively ask to be sure.
