You speak Vietnamese exquisitely.

Exquisite

I believe this is from the James Bond exhibit at the Spy Museum: https://www.spymuseum.org/exhibition-experiences/exquisitely-evil/ . I remember it being pretty effective in person.

Rick and Morty’s Exquisite Corpse trailer features 22 animators including Simon Landrein and Bendik Kaltenborn

But yes..., that's the point!
Helping our common man should be so ingrained in us that the mere act of picking someone up and helping someone shouldn't be an exception. It should be the normal.
And since it should be the "Norm," we should never have to emblazon such praise on a task that should be so basic.

We have become a culture where we bestow praise on people that are doing what should be considered nothing at all. In this we are lowering the standard of what greatness is.

Helping this man, shouldn't be an act of heroism, it should be an obligation. But no, we pick up our cell phones and celebrate a task that is so basic, that we have made the sublime, exquisite!

It's Exquisite
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XUtLUrwVuE

There was an interesting comment on NC's list of links yesterday, comparing Trump to Berlusconi.

This part, for instance, is quite poignant:

The exquisite thing about the modern reality show campaign/administration is that you get to keep your vices and actually leverage them. No need to hide your underage prostitutes (or worse not have any) when you can make them part of the Grand Show. This weeks episode is “Virility. Got caught buying a parliamentarian with 1 mil euros in a paper bag? This weeks episode is “Cunning”.

Some imprecise, false and misleading statements and baseless assertions in the video that are cogent to the argument:

0:20 "Scientists have come to the realization that these numbers have been dialed to an astonishingly precise value, a value that falls within an exceedingly narrow life-permitting range."

Imprecise. The highlighted bit implies that scientists have discovered an agent who did the "dialing", which is not the case. Rather, scientists have come to the realization that these numbers have values that fall within extremely narrow life-permitting ranges."

2:24 "... these and other numbers have been exquisitely balanced ...

Imprecise. Again, you cannot claim that they "have been balanced" without tautologically claiming a designer.

3:55 "The probabilities involved are so ridiculously remote as to put the fine tuning well beyond the reach of chance."

Assertion. For this statement to be true, someone would have to define when a probability becomes "too remote". We're talking about something that we don't understand, so it's not possible to determine that it is "too remote".

4:03 "So, in an effort to keep this option alive, some have gone beyond empirical science..."

Imprecise. Nobody decided the Multiverse was a good way to explain the appearance of fine tuning. The Multiverse arises unbidden out of other theories of mathematics, with the effect of making chance quite a viable possibility.

4:35 "... and this universe generator itself would require an enormous amount of fine tuning"

False. A machine making massive numbers of universes only has to create one with our balance of numbers one time. If I can shoot a billion arrows at a target, I can afford for the sights on my bow to be much less finely tuned than if I only have one arrow, and if I have an infinite number of arrows, I don't need any fine tuning at all. I can shoot in random directions and be assured that I will hit the target by pure chance.

The chart about high and low order universes

False. A small universe with a single observer may be more likely, and may also exist in addition to our own. The fact that our universe is vast (relative to what, exactly?) doesn't mean others don't also exist.

AND Imprecise. You cannot measure the creation of universes on a time line. Time is created within our universe.

4:55: "... a vast, spectacularly complex, highly ordered universe ...

Assertion. Vase, complex and ordered in comparison to what? We don't know if ours is very complex compared to how complex a universe could be.

5:05: "So, even if the Multiverse existed ... it wouldn't do anything to explain the fine tuning."

False. That's exactly what it would do, or at least it would easily explain away the appearance of fine tuning as random chance.

AND Misleading. It should be phrased, "... to explain the appearance of fine tuning," which is what we're trying to explain.

Ok firstly, after watching this video without having read your link (me neither)..

Does the driver look 'traumatized' to you? Does his girlfriend's calm, matter-of-fact voice at the end of the video reflect some state of state of 'trauma' or shock even??

Another question. Regardless of the wound-tight individual whose car was maligned in some way (I am supposing) IS NOT the cunt behind the wheel a flat-liner, or is he possibly just exercising his time-honored technique of passive-aggression that he seems to have honed in the most exquisite "I am a fucking asshole" fashion, right down to his horrible taste in clothing, and his smug, "I'm-right-and-you-are-obviously-insane, holier-than-thou-my-shit-driving-is-not-an-issue-with-anyone-but-you, fucking manner??

Think so? Yeah. They're all three of 'em, assholes and Yogi?? Perhaps he WAS raped at some point in his life....by himself.

*quality and *promote some more. I love every part of this movie and its exquisite score!

Here is the english version (I shortened it a bit) :
"A gift that can make someone really happy. Dicky our solid silver pendant that will fill your girlfriend, your wife or your mistress with wonder. Take a closer look at this sublime jewelery that I'm wearing. Delight for the eyes, delight for luxury also michel bevause dicky is one of a kind that will be the perfect match for an evening dress weared on the skin, or even a mohair pullover. Dicky will makes you an elegant women and sophisticated woman in all occasion.

We can have a closer look of the pendent details, with exquisite grooves and a bigger piece at the end of it. But it's not over as I kept the best for the end because Dicky is not a simple jewel like the other. You can express your mood with a nice feature added by the designers. Happy, not happy, happy, not happy."

You should look at mine. It looks like a rat nest.

Ha! I've got you beat. I had to move my cable spaghetti a few months back and there was a dead mouse in there (no, not the kind with buttons and an optical sensor underneath, the furry kind).


Hahaha. No photo.? http://zimage.com/~ant/temp/MyMessyElectronicsSetup.jpg for mine. BTW, I still have mice with balls.

You mean ant nest?


Nope rat with me in it.
