I remember a conversation / controversy online somewhere about a supposed Smart Person saying their degree was from "R.U.", and people speculating what it was. Since it was me online, there's like an 85% chance it was on BSG. Does that ring a bell to anybody?

There's a local controversy with a hard line "Autism Advocate" who claimed to have a PhD. Turns out it was from "R.U", a/k/a "Rochville University", where you can mail your resume and $14K and receive a PhD in return because of your "Life Experiences". It must've been in relation to a global warming "expert" or something like that. Anyone?

Maybe it was because I left the patio door open the other night... But it's like my place is infested with flies. This is like the shitter at hickory run state park over the the 4th of July. Yeah that bad. I've caught like over a dozen today and they keep coming. I gotta figure out what to do. It's not like there is any food source or trash for them... I think they're here for sex. It's like a sex club and orgies abound. I got to figure out a solution ASAP.

Get a couple things of fly paper and hang them up in the middle of the rooms where there are the most flies. That will take care of the bulk of them in about a day.

Sweet... My guest bathroom is going to look like the the kitchen at the golden dragon delight.

Yeah... Sounds kinda ghetto but I got to give it a try. Thanks.

I did try putting beer out for them also, but they're not down with it.

are they the little flies?

No they're pretty big, not shit fly big but a little bigger than the common housefly.

Eh, it looks ghetto, but it works really quickly. We had a bbq last summer and left the French doors open for most of the day and had a ton of flies in the kitchen, I hung up a roll of fly paper in the middle of the kitchen and the next day it had got most of them. Only a few stragglers but that was no big deal.

tomorrow, for fun, I'm going to write a program that calculates correlation between two lists of randomly generated integers.

Shaved my beard this morning. First whacked it down with clippers to a razor-manageable length then took the rest off with my Dollar Shave Club razor and Dr. Carver's Shave Butter (lol). Dunno if it was the razor or the Shave Butter or a combination but that was the easiest shave of 2-3 days growth I can ever recall.

i would try and see if anything died anywhere in your place. the big flies are the ones that come about bc of some dead animal

or hooker

dead hookers have a very distinctive smell...probably would've noticed by now.

Might keep up with the sizzlers thread now that hillmd is back.

It should be zero, assuming the lists are long enough.

That's what I'm assuming as well.

Stop trying to foist Coors Light on them. They came for the Pliny

ran 100 simulations, µ of r was -0.025113589

I'm running a million now, because I have nothing better to do. I'm wondering if there's something I can do to rig the system to generate a set of more closely related numbers (because I have nothing left to do here).
