The possibility of undercut or water seeping under the thing and softening the earth below the foundation was going to be my next question Maybe, finally after a few hundred years. That wall was built before the USA probably. I have seen 500 year old bridges.

Any nearby fracking sites? There have been some minor earth quakes in the UK over the past couple of decades also. I have felt 2 in the last 15 years. Last one I was quite close too and it woke me at 3am. I'm not saying this is the cause but just enquiring as they could have contributed possibly.

approximately. lets say on average, 2 pies a week x 52 weeks for about 30 adult years - = 3120... so very close. (not including mince pies a xmas - the figure would be uncountable).

Has anybody else noticed that a real edible pie, when you look at it from the top, is round like a circle!... Pie = pi? It can't be a coincidence- It's blowing my mind. I mean, I was thinking the other day - I must have eaten a few thousand pies in my time.

How about a fibre optic lens? The camera can stay outside and the very thin fibre optic cable can go through the seal of the door (thinner than a power cable so easier) and be taped to whatever position you want it to be in. ? You can get these optic cable for cameras on the internet pretty easy.

Although I agree with the sentiment of nearly everything you said- I though the whole Assad thing was debatable.... he was the best of a bad lot and was fighting ISIS. A few years back I thought it was though that he could still be the best of a bad lot, rather than toppling him and putting the rebels in... Even this latest chemical thing is now suspected to have not happened by some and they claim it was an excuse to oust him. Whatever - you are right about the acceptance of Jong-un though... what did talking to him really achieve? He agreed to stop with the nuke - he was supposed to anyway. Any mention of human rights abuses? no. It still all reminds me of that 'Hypernormalisation' video.

Here we finally have it! Proof of the existence of a creator? Best evidence yet!

You and I both know he is NOT a six year old child. MENTALLY however he might well 'identify' as being one. This does not mean he believes himself to be a six year old. He might well believe he is a woman (rightly or wrongly - I do not care and it is none of my business and don't care to get into that debate), but I would place money on him not actually believing he is 6 years old (as I said before - the article CLEARLY states that he wants to live as a six year old to recapture some lost chance at being a girl - NOT that he thinks he IS a six years old - which you keep saying he is claiming... and so what if he is? - he could be mentally ill, again - none of our business). So for the last time - you and I KNOW he isn't a six year old girl.... I might get into trouble for saying so, but hey whatever, I really do not care what he identifies as. Why do you? Why does it bug you so much? I would guess it bugs you because you have friends and family that are homophobic (you might not think they are homophobic just because they hate/don't understand/take the piss out of gays and trans types/think gays are disgusting - but they clearly are) - someone has influenced you in your life to make you think that homosexuals are disgusting maybe? Maybe an uncle? A Father figure? A priest or brother or friend? Maybe I am wrong and you came to your beliefs by your self - but you were probably influenced as this is how humans get most of their beliefs.

Today I learned that Gold is more expensive than platinum per gram by quite a bit. I always thought it was the other way around. Volume wise platinum is dearer - it is just that the density is higher so the same sized ring is dearer. I feel I should have known this from school or something as it seems it should be basic chemistry general knowledge... hold on a mo.... ... I went and looked up the densities... 19.32 g/cm^3 for gold against 21.45 g/cm^3 for platinum.... that doesn't seem like a big difference at all!? The price per gram for Pt is £21.45 and the gold price per gram is £31.47. This still doesn't add up or explain the difference in ring prices..... Ah! maybe it is because gold is rarely pure and comes in 9 / 18 / 24 carat etc.. I can only assume most Pt rings are pure and solid to account for the price compared to impure gold rings of lower carat. I think they mix the gold otherwise it is too soft. But - in short gold is more expensive than platinum (according to todays charts).

You said he believed that he was 6 years old. He knows how old is - he knows he is not 6. ... he doesn't think he is six years old. Is this willfull misleading to promote your hatred of Transgender people or just an error in understanding the article? Why do you care about what some 52 year old bloke does to his own body or how he lives anyway? Why are you so interested in it, are you looking to take the change yourself?

HyperNormalisation. .

That article is from the daily mail - they are renown for twisting facts in the way they report things. I wasn't going to, but I read it anyway - It doesn't say at all that the person 'thinks' they are a 6 year old girl. They know exactly what they are - it says they want to LIVE as a 6 year old girl because they were denied the chance to be one as a child. Take ANYTHING you read in the daily mail with a pinch of salt... or just don't bother reading it. I knew a trainee police man once - he was in the daily mail with 6 of his colleges as they were on a training course to teach them how to stop traffic and issue tickets. A reporter from the daily mail (or daily hate as some call it here) took their photo and reported it in the mail the next week. "Keystone cops take 7 police men to arrest drivers turning right at no right turn sign" was the headline. The whole article was about how incompetent the police were in London as it took 7 officers hiding behind a bush to jump out and arrest drivers violating the no right turn sign - it was totally mis reported and basically a total lie. Just saying - sometimes the headlines in the mail are totally opposite to what is actually happening. This article about the trans guy is probably there to anger people into hating gays more. Who cares what gays or anyone want to do to their own bodies or that of their legally consenting partners. It is none of mine or your business and certainly not the daily mail's business. Alas - their regular reader take it all as truth and slide into their own hateful view sooner or later as they believe what they read to be actual news.... when it is mainly propaganda designed to make you hate gays, the poor and immigrants..... allegedly.

I'm really not sure I could get my head around all the fingerings for any wind instrument. I can't even get a scale out of a recorder, but then I wouldn't want to. I can barely get a sound out of a sax, let alone a note. I don't read notation, although I had to a little when I leaned a bit of piano, but I used to be able to sight read some guitar tabs.. I have always been a bit to lazy to really learn to sight read music and I haven't just 'picked it up' like I hope I would have done. Strings though are different - probably because I've played the guitars on and off for decades. I can find root notes easy enough by ear and then play and jam to almost anything from there with a knowledge of a few scales, keys, modes and chords etc. Keyboards I like but find it difficult to split my thinking between the two hands if they play separate lines. I love music and the guitar has been one of the joys in my life. I'll have to get organised and get that touch pad out again - I know I keep saying it but it is SO intuitive to play. It isn't supposed to be a solo instrument but I can probably knock out a better solo on that than I can on a guitar. Do you play or compose much?

I prefer honesty - why pretend you don't find them attractive when you do? - I would want my partner to be honest with their feelings. Surely it's hotter knowing what your partner likes anyway - rather than sticking your head in the sand and living in a fantasy land where they 'only have eyes for you' when really they are bored to tears or just like the aesthetics of others as well as you... it's natural and normal. Maybe the offence people feel is due to the jealousy.... or more likely some throw back to religious days when people they believed that a spouse was god given and couldn't be any thing but perfect. It's about expectation I think - stop thinking/expecting that your partner will only have eyes for you and look and behave the way you want them too, you are lying to yourself - they are complex human beings.

Yes - and many fell for it thinking it was real.... as did iNow from the looks of his post, so I clarified it.

Saw someone post something today suggesting that the tweet was fake. I can believe how people would fall for it though. lol. Ovv corse, he does hafe previous though! ;-)

'Visible light' is just a range of frequencies in the Electromagnetic spectrum.

I had heard that the EU were banning isocyanate use for anyone but trained contractors and paint applicators. i.e. - you won't be able to but 2 pk PU paints from shops anymore, but you could hire an approved contractor to come round to supply and apply it for you. I am not sure how far we have progressed along this route yet.

"Sieg hail" Was a Nazi chant. It meant 'Hail Victory' I think. It sounds the same as 'seek ale' Ale is beer - an alcoholic beverage. Ha ha ha - No, but last night though!... ;-) - just kidding - your mum is too hairy for me and her claws and teeth are too sharp.

What do alcoholic Nazis do?...... ......Seek Ale!

Right now I am listening to the continual drone of my water cooler humming in the lab... I have finished the calorimetry for the day so I can, thankfully, turn it off now.

Maybe the animals outwards appearance would look the same... I say this due to evolution being driven by the needs of the animal to adapt and evolve to suit it's environment rather than being driven by it's chemistry. There are many cases of convergent evolution occurring like the Ichthyosaur and dolphin for example. If a swimming like animal had a triple helix it would still eventually grow into a dolphin/fish shape, because this is the best shape for swimming.

"EVERYTHING is happening outside of a person, except for the stuff happening inside".... Amazing! The sense of numinous we all feel as that profound statement sinks into our souls is a gift Tar - thank you deeply for that life changing enlightenment.

We are clearly all in the same reality - regardless of what any of us believe. The point is - you can't prove it or which one you are in.
