rindolf | thecha: hi, what's up? |
thecha | not much. I am running my trisquel gnu/Linux from an usb now |
thecha | and you? |
rindolf | thecha: I've been redditting and twittering. |
rindolf | thecha: and I went on a walk now. |
pulse | hi rindolf |
rindolf | thecha: I met a father with two children. he scolded them. |
rindolf | thecha: I asked him for their names and he said "why does it matter?" :-( |
rindolf | pulse: hi. |
rindolf | I also saw a lady sitting on a bench with two Pekinese dogs - one male and one female. |
rindolf | they barked at me. |
rindolf | Maybe she was afraid of me (their owner I mean). |
ezrios | dogs bark at everything |
rindolf | I also saw some bird watchers in the park earlier in the morning. |
rindolf | ezrios: some dogs are amazingly calm. |
rindolf | ezrios: I once met a huge Caucasian Shepherd dog who was less than one years old and called "Rambo" who was super-calm. |
rindolf | His owner was also very friendly. |
ezrios | a super-calm Rambo eh |
epitamizor | cool story bro |
rindolf | They say the dog and its owner resemble each other. |
rindolf | epitamizor: every story is cool with the right attitude. |
rindolf | epitamizor: http://www.reddit.com/r/TMNT/comments/2d9fo7/postrelease_movie_discussion_thread_2/ck3khga - see this. |
rindolf | ezrios: yes , amazing. |
rindolf | ezrios: Rambo was the epitome of a tough all powerful super-muscular anti-geeky warrior/action-hero. |
rindolf | ezrios: but the fact of the matter is that the best combat warriors in the world are: 1. Not very muscular. 2. Geeks. |

thecha | OK i will try |
thecha | the dog probably ws being aggressive because the owners mood was affecting him |
thecha | the owner probably was being hostile so the dog followed suit |
thecha | and the guy with the kids should have just said the names instead of being a dick about it |
thecha | you go for walks often? |
rindolf | thecha: yes, I go for walks a lot. |
rindolf | thecha: yes, this father should learn some things after fatherhood. |
rindolf | thecha: the children were nice. |
rindolf | Oh! and on the way upstairs there was a very young boy with a toy gun and I pretended to wage an imaginary war with him. He enjoyed it. |
thecha | rindolf-> who won the imaginary shoot out? |
rindolf | thecha: he did I think. |
rindolf | thecha: I let him win. |
rindolf | thecha: he seemed to have enjoyed it. |
rindolf | thecha: children can be so smart. |
pulse | i don't think age has anything to do with smartness |
rindolf | thecha: and it helped brighten my day. |
rindolf | pulse: yes. |
rindolf | pulse: I have actually grown smarter with age. |
pulse | I've grown wiser. not much smarter |
rindolf | pulse: ah. |
rindolf | pulse: what's your distinction? |
rindolf | pulse: I've grown wiser too. |
pulse | smart is the ability to calculate things fast |
pulse | wise is the ability to live your life ;) |
rindolf | pulse: there are more parameters to intelligence than doing fast calculations. |
pulse | i guess there's certain correlation between the two |
rindolf | pulse: yes. |
pulse | i know. there's different types of intelligence |
pulse | but most types boil down to two things. calculations and speed |
rindolf | pulse: ah. IQ? |
pulse | any kind of intelligence |
pulse | IQ is a sort of generalization of all types |
rindolf | pulse: see https://twitter.com/shlomif/status/495252148775436288 - «Forget #IQ! #Sloppy → #Confident → #Smart!! #TeamGrimmie #confidence #competence #PublishOrPerish» |
pulse | but it's also stupid |
pulse | rindolf, hmm |
pulse | what am i supposed to see there :P |
pulse | i still don't know how twitter works |
pulse | what are those hashtags supposed to be |
pyon | rindolf: Meh, sloppiness is just sloppiness. |
pyon | rindolf: One can be flexible without lowering one's own standards. |
thecha | rindolf you can't let the enemy win |
rindolf | thecha: yes, bring the Delta Team with Chuck Norris, Sylvester Stalone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and.. Summer Glau (!♥:-)) against this boy. |
rindolf | there shall be blood tonight! |
ssta | you really are obsessed with this Summer Glau |
