The conscious/unconscious stuff seems to me to miss the point of how the brain works. The 'conscious mind' is a subjective construct that we experience from the inside (that's a bit tautological, but I wanted to emphasize the extreme subjectiveness of it -it's our conscious mind which is 'witnessing' our consciousness). It's silly to look at neurons firing and say 'those neurons are unconscious thought'. Thought is an abstraction way above the firing of neurons, and our own perception of our own thoughts, which is presumably what we mean by consciousness, is above that by another order of magnitude.

Of course I could be talking pish. I'm taking issue with what I think is a misunderstanding on the part of the non-scientist author of the piece. I think. um...


Cartoons about cats. I like them. And otters.

Kill NP: He may just come back from Hell even more enraged.
Spare NP: You're potentially stuck with a harmless drooler who needs fed and watered. Annoying but harmless.

Dilemma caused by the Achewood post-death physics model.

I wonder... surely... yes!

The BASIC program has a syntax error. What are they teaching our children??

I was all set to snurk derisively at peoples' Apple fetishism, but having looked at that page, well - that device looks very very lovely. It's a device that I would like to touch and make use of and own. I'd wake up in the middle of the night and fall asleep contentedly gazing at that device nestling on my bedside table.

Did you see the two-finger zoom thing? That's clever.

The 100,000 figure doesn't mean anything special - you could figure it in terms of another number.

I suppose true 'per capita' (deaths per head of population) value would be 14/100,000 - that's 140 micronoggins to use the SI unit.

But enough with the education already

I agree and am slapping myself around the face as I type yet another tedious non-achewood-related digression.

Also, your stat is kind of bullshit.

Please, I didnt mean to drive over your toe with my intended-to-be-non-confrontational post. I suppose deaths-per-person-mile might be an interesting stat.

One thing I have learned from that explanation with the Lights and the Yielding and the Turning and the Glavin is that I am too damn stupid to be a pedestrian in the USA.

What do you recommend for this. I am in Mornington (as Terry Chambers) Police Department. I have spent five days doing nothing but collecting ammo, because the building is currently heavily barricaded and if I leave I cannot get back in.

Buy a big sponge cake and eat the whole thing in a one'er.
