	4:05am Marv Maryland: I like it freaky
	⚡ ♥ 4:06am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @4:04 yes, usually when you order curry it has tumeric in it, the yellow curries at least
	♥ 4:09am Ike: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:12 OMG, I just saw part of this clip and was rolling on the floor laughing at this dude’s accent.
	4:09am Hoder Gm: variety is the spice of life
	⚡ ♥ 4:11am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Ike @4:09 yes, like a caricature of an intellectual that you would see on rocky and bullwinkle
	⚡ ♥ 4:12am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:02 well, that went a number of places
	⚡ ♥ 4:12am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:06 I always make my own curries -- with lots of hot (chilli) and not so hot spices. Matsuman Thai curry paste is tasty. Making a curry in the evening is relaxing.
	♥ 4:14am Colin in Durham England: ↳ Song: "Season for Pain" by "Grian Chatten" Wow. I’m gonna love this album next time I have a break up
	♥ 4:14am Colin in Durham England: Chaos For The Fly is a Morticia Addams quote.
	4:15am Bob Lipid: a good half smoke is worth it's weight in gold
	⚡ ♥ 4:16am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @4:12 yes, i guess curries are the equivalent of moles in mexican cooking , yes like masaman or matsuman curry with potatoes
	⚡ ♥ 4:17am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Clip: Reuters-migrants rescued off Canary coast, ... ny times still featuring article on damned submersible on their web main page
	4:18am Roger That: I like the taste mustard on a sandwich
	♥ 4:21am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:17 Old habits die hard.
	⚡ ♥ 4:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @4:21 nothing on canary island story
	⚡ ♥ 4:29am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:16 I've more an affinity to Asian style, but love making guacamole and gazpacho, especially when it's hot.
	⚡ ♥ 4:33am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @4:29 on the u.s. east coast i don't think it's easy to get good mole, but in l.a. and probably other places in california you can
	⚡ ♥ 4:36am tom tom the pipers son: @ brian: my ex, an woman of indian descent, once did a performance smearing tumeric paste all over her in the streets of jackson heights
	⚡ ♥ 4:37am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:33 Guacamole, at least, is dead easy to make yourself with avocado, crushed garlic, aceto balsamico and a fork in a bowl.
	♥ 4:40am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:36 Good for the skin, I imagine. But not the purpose, I suppose.
	⚡ ♥ 4:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @4:37 yes, i think mole is a different deal with slow cooking over long periods of time, i believe there's a real art to it
	⚡ ♥ 4:42am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @4:40 purpose was vague but was transgressive doing it on the street
	⚡ ♥ 4:43am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Labyrnth of the Hidden Sun" by "Yes Selma" pretty mesmerizing
	♥ 4:43am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:42 When was this? Could Giuliani's police putting a stop to something like that.
	♥ 4:43am Brian D: Could see*
	⚡ ♥ 4:45am tom tom the pipers son: yes, it was a "broken window" was during bloomturd admin
	♥ 4:46am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:45 Same diff.
	⚡ ♥ 4:47am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:40 Unfortunately beyond my ken.
	⚡ ♥ 4:49am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @4:46 they called it a broken window policy, right? go after small crime to stop big crime, like a criminal trickle "up" theory
	⚡ ♥ 4:51am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @4:47 ken (?)
	♥ 4:51am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:49 Yes. "Broken windows policing." William Bratton was the pioneer.
	♥ 4:55am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:51 Scots gaelic for "grasp" or understanding.
	⚡ ♥ 4:56am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @4:55 oh thx, never heard/saw before
	♥ 4:57am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:56 What little I know, I like to share.
	⚡ ♥ 4:58am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @4:57 know more than me...
	⚡ ♥ 4:58am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian D @4:57 I'm more Scottish than I realized.
	⚡ ♥ 5:05am Michael of Cologne: Ken is from the verb 'ken' still used in northern dialects and Scottish. In German 'kennen' means 'to know'. OED says: "The form is properly causative ‘to cause to know’, ‘to make known’, and was restricted to this use in Goth. and OE. At an early period, however, in all the Teutonic tongues, the verb also acquired the sense ‘to know’. In Eng. this may have been taken from Norse, in which both senses were in early use. In mod. Eng. ken is only archaic (in sense 6) and has its pa. tense and pa. pple. kenned (cf. pen, penned); in Sc. (where it has entirely displaced knaw ‘to know’) the pa. tense and pple. are now kent; south Sc. kend.]"
	♥ 5:08am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:05 Ah, didn't know the German.
	⚡ ♥ 5:11am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:36 Must have been some performance! The yellow of tumeric will colour everything around if you're not careful.
	⚡ ♥ 5:11am tom tom the pipers son: recently learned that re (:) is a latin word on its own and not an abbreviation for regarding or referencing
	5:12am LiXiviated Life: So we’re meting cocks today What’s next? Bending spoons? 🪄
	♥ 5:12am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:11 I just learned that right now.
	⚡ ♥ 5:12am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:11 yes, she was stained for a while
	5:13am LiXiviated Life: Melting Clocks Not the other thing I typed Oh geez
	5:13am LiXiviated Life: Sorry
	♥ 5:14am Brian D: ↳ LiXiviated Life @5:13 It's early. Or late.
	♥ 5:15am StringOFperils: As per the proverb, 'If you give a man a fish, he eats for a day. If you teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime', here's The Online Dictionary of Etymology, open at the entry for 'to know. It helps the world if you KEN everything. .... to hell with Barbie.
	5:15am Chris Crisco: ↳ Brian D @3:45 Tubby skipped out on one Senate session to go to Bedminster and suck Insane Clown's little mushroom cock. They could have done it then but Judiciary Chairman Dickless Durbin decided to invoke the unwritten rule that you don't take advantage of a person's absence. Typical Democrat will to lose.
	♥ 5:16am StringOFperils: www.etymonline.com...
	♥ 5:17am Brian D: ↳ Chris Crisco @5:15 Good timing. About to finally get to "coach."
	⚡ ♥ 5:17am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:11 OED says re 're': "Ablative of L. res thing, affair. Now freq. apprehended as a preposition, and used in weakened senses to mean ‘about, concerning’." Descartes is famous for his distinction between res extensa and res cogito: extended thing and thinking thing, the latter thing supposedly being us.
	⚡ ♥ 5:21am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:17 thanks for the details, i had a professor who said to a student, "for me, i think, therefore i am, for you, you are, therefore you think."
	⚡ ♥ 5:21am fred: SM Ken is going to love the coming hype. Shaving Fun Ken was a hoot, Andy is probably getting ready for more
	♥ 5:24am StringOFperils: Somehow his statement's 'retraction' sounds like an affirmation of what he said in the first place, if you listen to its subtle fixation on that position.
	♥ 5:26am Brian D: I think thinking is beyond "coach's" ken.
	⚡ ♥ 5:26am fred: ↳ StringOFperils @5:24 Not so subtle at that
	⚡ ♥ 5:27am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:21 "I think, therefore I am" is often interpreted as a syllogistic argument, but it ain't; it's a postulate posing the I as an ego-subject. We've been stuck with that postulate for centuries.
	♥ 5:28am StringOFperils: ↳ fred @5:26 "That's what I'm saying"__The Coach
	⚡ ♥ 5:30am fred: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:27 I got in trouble in high school for questioning this. Only later did I find Wittgenstein, which lead to a break with my family
	⚡ ♥ 5:31am Michael of Cologne: ↳ fred @5:30 Philosophy can have drastic consequences, in this case, perhaps for the good?
	♥ 5:32am StringOFperils: Seems like we're mired in 'I want so I'm taking'.
	⚡ ♥ 5:33am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:27 i understand... sorta, the prof should have known better, but he was trying to point something out to jock-y not too bright student in a humorous way
	⚡ ♥ 5:34am fred: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:31 It did get me out of being invited to family reunion, so there's that
	⚡ ♥ 5:36am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:33 I'd love to continue our chat today, but now off the Xanten to the Roman ruins. Love ya and leave ya!
	⚡ ♥ 5:38am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:31 the same teacher who filmed the soviet invasion of czechoslovakia and lived under totalitarian gov'ts had a problem with wittgenstein and language worlds
	⚡ ♥ 5:39am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:36 see ya, michael
	⚡ ♥ 5:40am fred: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:31 One of my last surviving uncles is a philosophy professor. He holds that LW was a Nazi because he was in school with Hitler which spurred jealousy. Nevermind the age gap, this stupidity is official French policy
	⚡ ♥ 5:46am fred: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:36 What is his issue?
	♥ 5:47am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:36 Enjoy!
	⚡ ♥ 5:55am fred: Kirk also said the quiet part loud recently, attacking justice Brown Jackson. It's even worse in France, Le Pen is definitely going to be president
	⚡ ♥ 5:56am tom tom the pipers son: ok brian thanks, and have a good week all
	♥ 5:56am StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Just In Time To See The Sun" by "Leon Thomas" Hmm. Never heard this Santana cover before.
	♥ 5:57am Brian D: Alright all, that's about it for me. Thank you, as always, for the philosophical (and other) discussion. Stay safe and have a great week. Abene Clayton next week: www.theguardian.com...
	♥ 5:59am StringOFperils: Thanks! Have a pleasant day!

	⚡ ♥ 3:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @3:28 thx
	♥ 3:29am Brian D: ↳ fred @3:28 Right. It's frivolous and clearly meant to silence the magazine and those behind it. And yes, the senator is often called "coach," because he coached American football.

	3:43am Chris Crisco: ↳ Michael of Cologne @3:37 i wouldn't doubt that. Unfortunately Tubby has them by the balls and they will probably cave in. Same with the defense spending bill sticking it to LGBTQ folks.
	♥ 3:45am Brian D: ↳ Chris Crisco @3:43 And he's blocking all those appointments over abortion access.
	⚡ ♥ 3:46am fred: ↳ Michael of Cologne @3:37 Seeing them kick out MTG for being too sane for their caucus was kinda fun (scary too)
	3:48am Chris Crisco: ↳ fred @3:46 I think Mean Margie Green not insane enough for them is a better way of putting it.

	4:02am Chris Crisco: ↳ Brian D @3:45 Yeah I suspect they will cave in. Probably will use the Hyde Amendment that says no money for abortions as a pretext.

	⚡ ♥ 4:12am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:06 I always make my own curries -- with lots of hot (chilli) and not so hot spices. Matsuman Thai curry paste is tasty. Making a curry in the evening is relaxing.

	⚡ ♥ 4:36am tom tom the pipers son: @ brian: my ex, an woman of indian descent, once did a performance smearing tumeric paste all over her in the streets of jackson heights
	⚡ ♥ 4:37am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:33 Guacamole, at least, is dead easy to make yourself with avocado, crushed garlic, aceto balsamico and a fork in a bowl.
	♥ 4:40am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:36 Good for the skin, I imagine. But not the purpose, I suppose.
	⚡ ♥ 4:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @4:37 yes, i think mole is a different deal with slow cooking over long periods of time, i believe there's a real art to it
	⚡ ♥ 4:42am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @4:40 purpose was vague but was transgressive doing it on the street

	⚡ ♥ 4:49am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @4:46 they called it a broken window policy, right? go after small crime to stop big crime, like a criminal trickle "up" theory
	⚡ ♥ 4:51am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @4:47 ken (?)

	⚡ ♥ 4:58am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian D @4:57 I'm more Scottish than I realized.
	⚡ ♥ 5:05am Michael of Cologne: Ken is from the verb 'ken' still used in northern dialects and Scottish. In German 'kennen' means 'to know'. OED says: "The form is properly causative ‘to cause to know’, ‘to make known’, and was restricted to this use in Goth. and OE. At an early period, however, in all the Teutonic tongues, the verb also acquired the sense ‘to know’. In Eng. this may have been taken from Norse, in which both senses were in early use. In mod. Eng. ken is only archaic (in sense 6) and has its pa. tense and pa. pple. kenned (cf. pen, penned); in Sc. (where it has entirely displaced knaw ‘to know’) the pa. tense and pple. are now kent; south Sc. kend.]"
	♥ 5:08am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:05 Ah, didn't know the German.
	⚡ ♥ 5:11am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:36 Must have been some performance! The yellow of tumeric will colour everything around if you're not careful.
	⚡ ♥ 5:11am tom tom the pipers son: recently learned that re (:) is a latin word on its own and not an abbreviation for regarding or referencing
	5:12am LiXiviated Life: So we’re meting cocks today What’s next? Bending spoons? 🪄
	♥ 5:12am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:11 I just learned that right now.
	⚡ ♥ 5:12am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:11 yes, she was stained for a while
	5:13am LiXiviated Life: Melting Clocks Not the other thing I typed Oh geez
	5:13am LiXiviated Life: Sorry
	♥ 5:14am Brian D: ↳ LiXiviated Life @5:13 It's early. Or late.
	♥ 5:15am StringOFperils: As per the proverb, 'If you give a man a fish, he eats for a day. If you teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime', here's The Online Dictionary of Etymology, open at the entry for 'to know. It helps the world if you KEN everything. .... to hell with Barbie.
	5:15am Chris Crisco: ↳ Brian D @3:45 Tubby skipped out on one Senate session to go to Bedminster and suck Insane Clown's little mushroom cock. They could have done it then but Judiciary Chairman Dickless Durbin decided to invoke the unwritten rule that you don't take advantage of a person's absence. Typical Democrat will to lose.
	♥ 5:16am StringOFperils: www.etymonline.com...
	♥ 5:17am Brian D: ↳ Chris Crisco @5:15 Good timing. About to finally get to "coach."
	⚡ ♥ 5:17am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:11 OED says re 're': "Ablative of L. res thing, affair. Now freq. apprehended as a preposition, and used in weakened senses to mean ‘about, concerning’." Descartes is famous for his distinction between res extensa and res cogito: extended thing and thinking thing, the latter thing supposedly being us.
	⚡ ♥ 5:21am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:17 thanks for the details, i had a professor who said to a student, "for me, i think, therefore i am, for you, you are, therefore you think."
	⚡ ♥ 5:21am fred: SM Ken is going to love the coming hype. Shaving Fun Ken was a hoot, Andy is probably getting ready for more
	♥ 5:24am StringOFperils: Somehow his statement's 'retraction' sounds like an affirmation of what he said in the first place, if you listen to its subtle fixation on that position.
	♥ 5:26am Brian D: I think thinking is beyond "coach's" ken.
	⚡ ♥ 5:26am fred: ↳ StringOFperils @5:24 Not so subtle at that
	⚡ ♥ 5:27am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:21 "I think, therefore I am" is often interpreted as a syllogistic argument, but it ain't; it's a postulate posing the I as an ego-subject. We've been stuck with that postulate for centuries.
	♥ 5:28am StringOFperils: ↳ fred @5:26 "That's what I'm saying"__The Coach
	⚡ ♥ 5:30am fred: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:27 I got in trouble in high school for questioning this. Only later did I find Wittgenstein, which lead to a break with my family
	⚡ ♥ 5:31am Michael of Cologne: ↳ fred @5:30 Philosophy can have drastic consequences, in this case, perhaps for the good?
	♥ 5:32am StringOFperils: Seems like we're mired in 'I want so I'm taking'.
	⚡ ♥ 5:33am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:27 i understand... sorta, the prof should have known better, but he was trying to point something out to jock-y not too bright student in a humorous way
	⚡ ♥ 5:34am fred: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:31 It did get me out of being invited to family reunion, so there's that
	⚡ ♥ 5:36am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:33 I'd love to continue our chat today, but now off the Xanten to the Roman ruins. Love ya and leave ya!
	⚡ ♥ 5:38am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:31 the same teacher who filmed the soviet invasion of czechoslovakia and lived under totalitarian gov'ts had a problem with wittgenstein and language worlds
	⚡ ♥ 5:39am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:36 see ya, michael
	⚡ ♥ 5:40am fred: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:31 One of my last surviving uncles is a philosophy professor. He holds that LW was a Nazi because he was in school with Hitler which spurred jealousy. Nevermind the age gap, this stupidity is official French policy
	⚡ ♥ 5:46am fred: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:36 What is his issue?
	♥ 5:47am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:36 Enjoy!
	⚡ ♥ 5:55am fred: Kirk also said the quiet part loud recently, attacking justice Brown Jackson. It's even worse in France, Le Pen is definitely going to be president

	♥ 5:56am StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Just In Time To See The Sun" by "Leon Thomas" Hmm. Never heard this Santana cover before.
