You know that feeling when your driving down the road way to fast, listening to your favorite song with the windows rolled down? I like that feeling.

I'm a sucker for the Christmas season. The music, snow, staying at home, and the whole aura of kindness just gets to me. Definitely not why I'm listening to Bing Crosby in early November...

You can have some of our snow if you want. It's not even December yet and we're getting snowed on.

We get a solid week of snow per year where I live...
in Canada.

We get ours in chunks because our weather can never decide on what it wants to do. I remember earlier in the year it was snowing in April (when normally we'd be drowning under the torrential downpour causing the nearby river to overflow), and for most of the summer it was a constant back and forth between extremely hot and heavy rain.

I live in New England. More specifically, I live in Eastern Massachusetts, but I grew up in Western Massachusetts. When I was a kid, it started snowing before Thanksgiving. Sometimes it stayed, sometimes it did not. But by early December, there was snow on the ground through to mid or late March. Sometimes, there would be snow in April. Living in Eastern Mass, only two hours away is much different. I've seen winters that snow for only six weeks. The locals think that is a lot, but I think it is great, because I know what a real winter looks like. I'll take Eastern Mass winters/snow storms over the hills of the Berkshires any day.

It's been snowing the last few days, and it makes me want to commit sudoku. However, my GF says filling boxes with 1-9 is out of the question.

I would much prefer committing Sudoku than Seppuku. Less messy.

I've been thinking about how to make a photography portfolio to show off my work, and getting back into reading and writing to become better in it. But, there's just never the time to do what I enjoy anymore.

If the purge were real, I would have an uber home defense system set up to eliminate those individuals willing to kill someone for pleasure.


Welp you and I wouldn't be friends during the purge...

I love that scene in wolverine where the abomb drops and the 3 Japanese guys commit seppuku. the whole scene looked scripted, for instance: why would all 3 prisoner camp commanders agree with each other to commit seppuku upon hearing an abomb dropping? so many flaws in the whole sentence.... but at least the it portrays several interesting elements central to ww2. abomb and suiciding

Movies typically take illogical steps like this in order to include as much detail as possible without making the movie longer.

love it!

also, the abomb dropped all the way down to the ground before detonating. I read somewhere that abombs were supposed to detonate in the air to maximize explosive damage

... the A-bomb dropped all the way down to the ground before detonating. I read somewhere that A-bombs were supposed to detonate in the air to maximize explosive damage.

You are correct! The bomb is supposed to detonate about a thousand feet above sea level. It does not work under the same principles as concussive explosives. It delivers radiation over a wide range as well as instigating powerful winds and fire. Anyone watching a nuclear explosion with the naked eye, like Lieutenant Ichirō Yashida would be blind for the remainder of his life. Also, his life would be shortened due to radiation sickness. He probably would not make it to age 35. The blast also sends out an Electro-Magnet Pulse (EMP) which would fry any circuit or transistor within range, which would be only a few miles. But yea, It is a very entertaining scene. I love how Logan regenerates quickly and it frightens Yashida.

I tend to have conflicting thoughts so much that I've given my mental opponent a persona to which I feel I click in and out of in terms of personality traits.

I can't tell if I've done this to rationalize my thoughts or to cure my boredom lonesome tendencies. But it seems to not be enough as I've noticed a new one beginning to interject our conversations.

@Gunther I love the scene, even tho there are flaws to it, but I suppose they are necessary flaws. that man yashida, reminds me of kei nishikori the tennis player

what's the difference between concussive explosion and a nuclear explosion? I googled 'concussive explosion' but didn't find any info about it.

I don't know the difference. both release large amounts of energy and heat that create a blastwave made of gas, right?
