Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I would like to interrupt the mathy talk by saying that I am wearing my St. Nicholas Day present, a "Joss Whedon is My Master Now" t-shirt, and it's making me look BUSTY. Like Hooters girl busty. Cheaper than plastic surgery.
Also, I want one of these for Christmas, except I want one that works: [link]
Thanks for the Goober!Baby reassurance. Mallory's doing the thing where he gets on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth also, looking like he's a jockey in post position. That wasn't as worrying, because it was clear he was doing it on purpose.
Speaking of, he learned to crawl on his hands and knees in a hotel room in Germany - the increased velocity took him by surprise and he ran his head into the wooden bed.
For Steph:
"The ace, it was explained, uses pulses of electricity generated at the rate of a million a second.... On the machine these pulses are used to indicate the figure 1 and the gaps the figure 0. All calculations are done using only these two digits on the binary scale."
I just mention it because I'm going through the King's College digital archive looking for last-minute Turing stuff, and that was from a 1950 newspaper report "From our science editor" on one of the very early computers. [link]
Gronk.
So, umm, any tricks to get a kid to take a bottle at daycare? I mean, just because it's not fresh squeezed, doesn't mean you reject the stuff out of hand. Sheesh.
(I'm home today, and about to nap, because man, I am SO tired.)
It's 0/0 where we say, "No no no don't go there, that's the bad place!"
Doubledogdare you to write it up in story form for Anthropomorfic on LJ.
yay ! I hung all my clothes in the bedroom that have been need to be hung up for months.
In the process I think I have found 2, possible 3 outfits that do not need tights. which is good since mine seem to have vanished and I would rather wait 'til the end of the week to buy more.

The what now what? Ask me again after this week is over.
Okay, so I'm reading the letters back and forth from various people after Turing's death, and it's just so sad! They're making me quite teary -- all torn between unsurprised irritation at the press's "no troubles" line coming so soon after his prosecution and also shock because they thought he knew they'd support him no matter what... so sad.
Did you try that boobie bottle, Plei?
So you've got some nothing. You raise it to the power of nothing (or multiply it by nothing), effectively giving nothing even more nothing. Suddenly you've got something? Where did it come from!? Dear God, WHERE?
This is why I'm not a creationist, isn't it?
That sounds way more like the naturalist** argument to me. In the beginning there was no life at all, and all these lifeless things combined, at and under what just "happened" to be all the right conditions, and the precise moment, and then there was all kinds of life, that kept improving itself. And all of the conditions that never before had allowed for life, maintained to keep allowing for life.
Confusing!Boy (remember him?)
Hate him
about my unholy love of the OED,
Love that (and you)
and somehow that became a conversation about binary numbers, and I even tried to make a joke about binary numbers....and he didn't hang up on me! Keen!
How sad that a conversation about something as cromulent as the OED ended up mathy.
** edited to change "evolutionist" to "naturalist" because I have no problem accepting Evolution, proper.
Will she take the bottle in other circumstances?

Dude. Math is so cromulent.

Are they warming it for her?
Is she taking nothing at all? Could you disappear for one of her evening feedings at home for a few nights, to see if Paul can coax her into taking a bottle when she's really hungry, just to get her the hang of it? Also, have you given her any solids, yet? I know you were delaying it, because it's not necessary, but if she got tempted by a bowl of cereal or a fruit, which isn't delivered via boob and nipple, she might then be more accepting of a fake nipple delivering breast milk to wash it all down.
