I’ll be around for another few minutes. Here’s your chance to get the answer from the one guy who knows all of them.
October 15, 2013 5:23 am at 5:23 am #1215141Oh Shreck!ParticipantHow do I get as smart as you?
October 15, 2013 1:23 pm at 1:23 pm #1215142apushatayidParticipantwhat’s for lunch?
October 15, 2013 2:42 pm at 2:42 pm #1215143Veltz MeshugenerMemberOh Shreck!: You must envelope yourself in the search for truth. There is a genetic component as well, but the only way to find out if it’s genetically possible to be as smart as me is to set out to find the truth.

October 15, 2013 5:19 pm at 5:19 pm #1215148apushatayidParticipantwell, i’ll be, you really do know everything.
October 15, 2013 6:12 pm at 6:12 pm #1215149☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantWhich seminary should I send my daughter to?
As other people have observed, it is seminary application season and I am hoping that you can help me find the perfect seminary in EY for my daughter.
I am not looking for a place that is super academic. My daughter is not going to become a professor of Ramban when she comes back to the US. I want a place that is friendly, goes on lots of tours, and has the kind of girls that are comfortable sharing frozen yogurt even if they have a paper due next week.
Also, I don’t think it would be batampte for my daughter to go to a out of town, slow moving seminary with girls who are so comfortable and friendly that they have no standards. My daughter is very fashion conscious and she understands the importance of being proper and put together. She also appreciates the finer things in life and her lifestyle might make people with different tastes jealous.
If you have any suggestions, let me know. I am not concerned with her being able to get in to any seminary, because once she chooses, I am confident that I know the right people to call and make sure that we can work it out.
I gave you the background so that a reader will understand the wisdom of your response, but I’m sure you knew it already.
October 15, 2013 6:47 pm at 6:47 pm #1215150Veltz MeshugenerMemberBookworm: One part lemon juice, two parts water. Brush gently with plain steel wool, then rinse with water.
Wolfish Musings: That question is unclear. Do you mean why do *we* do it and others don’t? Do you mean it as two separate questions – “Why do we drive on a parkway?” and “Why do we park in a driveway?” If so, we drive on a parkway because it is the fastest route to the bar mitzvah. We park in the driveway because it is the closest place to the front door, and although there are a few spots on the street, we are not sure if the meters are in effect today, and the only thing worse than paying for parking when the meters are in effect is paying for parking when the meters are not in effect. If you are referring to the seeming incongruity of the verbs and the nouns, it is the result of linguistic development that I can go into in a later post if that was what you meant.
Oomis, PLEASE DO NOT INSERT IDENTIFYING INFORMATION. IF YOU DO THIS AGAIN YOU WILL BE BANNED.
Daas Yochid: Posters who ask questions like that are not looking for the one correct answer; they are engaging in discourse that has value as part of the seminary experience. The one right answer, BTW, is B’nos Chava.

October 16, 2013 4:05 am at 4:05 am #1215155HLMMemberWhy does grape flavor smell the way it is when actual grapes don’t taste or smell anything like it?
October 16, 2013 1:45 pm at 1:45 pm #1215156Shopping613 🌠ParticipantWhy does everything grape-flavored taste like medicine?
October 16, 2013 2:17 pm at 2:17 pm #1215157Veltz MeshugenerMemberHLM: That’s the taste of the purple coloring. If you could remove the coloring, the flavor would taste exactly like grapes.
Shopping613: See the answer to HLM. Many colorings taste the same, so the colorings used in medicine make it taste similar to “grape flavor”.
October 16, 2013 3:20 pm at 3:20 pm #1215158streekgeekParticipantWhat hair color do they put on the driver’s licenses of bald men?
October 16, 2013 4:24 pm at 4:24 pm #1215159SanityIsOverratedParticipantHow do you know you know everything?
October 16, 2013 4:24 pm at 4:24 pm #1215160Yserbius123ParticipantWould it be kedai to convert an iThink System Dynamic model into an Agent Based Model, and if so, should it be run in AnyLogic or Arena?

October 16, 2013 4:51 pm at 4:51 pm #1215162popshipMemberIn the Theory of Relativity, what is the difference between General Relativity and Special Relativity?
October 16, 2013 5:42 pm at 5:42 pm #1215163Bookworm120ParticipantWhy is the TARDIS bigger on the inside?
October 16, 2013 6:24 pm at 6:24 pm #1215164on the ballParticipantWhy is a shark if it spins?
October 16, 2013 7:31 pm at 7:31 pm #1215165Veltz MeshugenerMemberYserbius, I’m not sure what you mean by convert. The Agent Based model will not do everything that the System Dynamic model would. If you mean incorporating Agent Based modeling, unless you are dealing with modeling that is both straightforward and abstract, Agent Based modeling can expand your analytical framework significantly.
If you choose to incorporate Agent Based modelng, you should start with AnyLogic, or else you’ll be switching again in a few years, if you’re working with anything more complicated than school assignments.
October 16, 2013 7:35 pm at 7:35 pm #1215166Veltz MeshugenerMemberPopship, I am loathe to answer this question since I feel that you’re testing me more than seeking information. Nevertheless, briefly, special relativity is more concerned with the physics of speed, while general relativity is more concerned with the physics of mass. Of course, at a certain level of application, they blend into the same thing.
October 16, 2013 7:39 pm at 7:39 pm #1215167Veltz MeshugenerMemberBookworm, depending on how I construe the question the answer could differ.
A tardis cannot be actually bigger on the inside – it would only appear to be bigger, based on the way that the different perspectives react to measurement interfaces (including sight).
It appears bigger because such quirks are classic science fiction tropes.
October 16, 2013 7:53 pm at 7:53 pm #1215168strawberryMemberDude, since you know so much- when will I get married? Get into school? Have kids? Die?
October 16, 2013 7:56 pm at 7:56 pm #1215169streekgeekParticipantIf you don’t want to answer my first question, could you at least let me know why isn’t the number 11 pronounced onety-one?

October 16, 2013 9:06 pm at 9:06 pm #1215171Yserbius123ParticipantVelz Meshugener: What if I just drop the whole thing and write it from scratch in Prolog?
October 16, 2013 11:14 pm at 11:14 pm #1215172SanityIsOverratedParticipantWhy did you skip my question?
October 16, 2013 11:27 pm at 11:27 pm #1215173Veltz MeshugenerMemberStrawberry, you will get into school by next May. Your wedding will be next November. It would be wrong for me to disclose the other two.
October 16, 2013 11:29 pm at 11:29 pm #1215174Veltz MeshugenerMemberSanityisoverrated – sorry I didn’t mean to skip it, it just slipped through. The way I know is the same way that I know everything. This is just another fact that you find out by researching.
October 16, 2013 11:35 pm at 11:35 pm #1215175oomisParticipantOomis, PLEASE DO NOT INSERT IDENTIFYING INFORMATION. IF YOU DO THIS AGAIN YOU WILL BE BANNED. “
I sincerely hope that line is meant as a joke. I did no such thing, and it was a kind of rude response.
October 16, 2013 11:40 pm at 11:40 pm #1215176Veltz MeshugenerMemberYserbius, I can’t imagine that anyone other than a cutting edge scientist would find it efficient to build from the ground up. And even those people would be best served using an already built open-source alternative, though no open-source software uses Prolog. I hope that you’re comfortable in Python.
October 16, 2013 11:56 pm at 11:56 pm #1215177HLMMemberIf an orange is orange and called an orange, why is a banana yellow and not called a yellow?
October 17, 2013 12:09 am at 12:09 am #1215178kishkefresserMemberwhat does “the same difference” mean?
October 17, 2013 12:33 am at 12:33 am #1215182Veltz MeshugenerMemberOomis, that was the mods editing when I responded to your question.
HLM: I don’t understand the question. Does the existence of one etymological connection require that all words carry the same connections?
Kishkefresser, it means that the difference is the same. But it is mostly used to mean “it doesn’t matter”.
October 17, 2013 1:00 am at 1:00 am #1215183Little FroggieParticipantoomis:
You probably did not realize. That was a Mod responding to something “the-guy-who-knows-everything” presumably wrote in response to your question. He knew everything besides not to reveal identifying information.
October 17, 2013 1:44 am at 1:44 am #1215184Veltz MeshugenerMemberIn my defense, Little Froggie, I knew what would happen but chose to proceed anyway.
October 17, 2013 3:48 am at 3:48 am #1215185strawberryMemberI hope I don’t have to wait that long to get married and into school:( when you say something a Malach says amen…
October 17, 2013 7:16 am at 7:16 am #1215186Burnt SteakParticipantmulti-part question coming up.
Who will win the Clemson – Florida State showdown, and will the winner be able to pass Bama or Oregon in the polls? Will the winner win the ACC? Will this game be better than the ACC title game? The BCS championship?
I expect answers from a person who “knows everything”.
I am not looking for answers that rag on sports. I want real opinion answers that have some basis to them.
I realize I sound like a teacher. Too bad. Begin the answering!
October 17, 2013 7:26 am at 7:26 am #1215187Little FroggieParticipantVM (sorry, I don’t want to spell out your s/n) why’d you want to do that?
October 17, 2013 10:16 am at 10:16 am #1215188just my hapenceParticipantHLM – The colour is named after the fruit, not the other way around. The fruit’s name derives from the fact that it made its way into England from the Aranjuez region of Spain.
Veltz – 1. How do I do the craw-step?
2. What is the name of The Doctor?
October 17, 2013 2:14 pm at 2:14 pm #1215189Yserbius123Participant- How many identified asteroids are there in the asteroid belt?

October 17, 2013 2:52 pm at 2:52 pm #1215190Veltz MeshugenerMemberStrawberry, I’m sorry. But rest assured that it will be a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of your life. And as someone who knows everything, trust me when I say that Malach thing is not true.
Burnt Steak, Florida will win and it won’t be close. They will pass Oregon but Alabama will finish the season at 2 with Ohio State at 1. Bama will win the National Championship and again the game won’t be close. Florida will beat Va. Tech in the ACC Championship and that will be a thriller.
Little Froggie: Just showing off, I guess.
I am busy again so I don’t know if I can answer all the questions in the future. But I’ll definitely try.
October 17, 2013 3:42 pm at 3:42 pm #1215191just my hapenceParticipantVM – Conveniently avoiding answering my questions…
October 17, 2013 4:12 pm at 4:12 pm #1215192Little FroggieParticipantOK, it’s ????? ???? again, with one that stumps me, really.
In windows 64-bit, why are 64-bit drivers put in the system32 directory, and 32-bit drivers put in the syswow64 directory. Isn’t it what they call ????? ???????
