Cancel the Olympics?

Submariners tend to take sound seriously.

It is not a philosophical discussion, but rather a matter of life and death. 4 dimensional water space [time being the fourth dimension] is a physics domain, philosophers need not apply as they would end up killing their crew by talking them to death instead of "fighting the ship."

"Less talk, and a lot more action" as the song goes {pretty sure that that song was talking about something else entirely.....}

my bud was the chief engineer for a nuclear sub. now, he's building quite the sweet little empire in western mass in the cannabis industry, while helping out eversource to keep our lights on. i've never heard him talk aboot philosophy, but his gf has some kind of pizza/restaurant thing going on. smart people.
and to think some people are getting paid to stare at their bellybuttons, and then write/talk aboot it. as the late, great philosopher known as 'the scooter' once said, 'holy cow!'
i always hear that hot hokum known as the 'i ching' as 'itching', as in 'itching for a beat down.' lol.

forests? sounds? this question was answered years ago. dopey philosophers, they never know what's going down, and they can't dunk.

I love your sentiment!

When "the hills are alive..." it's really frightening. Time to go to higher ground [Mountains] and make your stand.

I say the lumberjack was making more noise before the trees were felled in the forest.

California might need to do some forest management and talk less, particularly before the Santa Anna winds come through again.

I used to be able to dunk, but now I need two hip replacements, so I am extremely gravitationally challenged....

This post was gave me the best laugh of the day [so far....]. Thanks for brightening my day!

While this is true, it is astounding to me that Japan’s vaccination number is 8%!

I read yesterday that the number was 23%. I am trying to find the link but cannot. Maybe it was adults only or some portion of the population making both numbers accurate?

Edit: found this link - Japan: the latest coronavirus counts, charts and maps

Looks like 29% is vaccinated based on the number of doses administered. Still not high but closer to 3.5 times that of 8%

physics is math.
math is our friend.
metaphysics is a crock, much like 1 hour martinizing.
cosmo kramer is the greatest philosopher, ever.

I am a big Kramer fan as well!

Attack; was on the duty submarine for the Pacific back in the day... SSN = "Saturdays, Sundays, and Nights!" not part time submariners, just the "black and blue crew." When we went to sea, we had what we had, which was more than enough.

I fully expect this thread to be lively long after the Olympics.

Only until basketball practice starts.
