When Paltrow was selling those candles that smelled like her vagina, I bought one. It smelled like ass. Turns out I had it upside down.

1·16 days agoI’m in the US but it sounds similar. It’s hopefully good enough to track down a pet owner, but I wouldn’t trust it to learn the correct name of the person in front of you. It could lead to a previous owner or it could be registered to someone else in the family.
They use RFID/NFC but at a lower frequency that your phone can read. There are pet chip readers for as low as $18 on Amazon. Might be awkward getting caught scanning your friend’s pet though, and I’m not sure you’d get their info.
The one time I found a stray dog the chip only gave a number. The dog also had a collar that had that number on it and a website like FindMyDog or something. But when I put that number in, it just gave info for a local shelter. I went to the shelter and they confirmed it was a microchip number and they had records showing they had owned that chip but had given that chip to another shelter. The second shelter gave me the owner’s info.
So, basically, I think the pet owner has to upload their info to a pet finder website, or else a vet can look up where the chip came from and whoever implanted it might be able to give you the owner’s info.
3·24 days agoI wouldn’t know. I just passed the mensa test because I’ve always been good with tests, but I don’t think I’m smarter than anybody in terms of brain horsepower.
However, I’m curious about how things work and retain information like crazy. I’ve come to realize not everybody does that. Some people think I’m really smart but it’s more like I have experience or interest that they don’t have in the thing they think I’m smart at.
I joined 20 years ago out of curiousity if I could pass. I did and paid for a membership for a year because why not, but i never did anything with it and never renewed it.
The one thing I might have liked is the local meetings. Our local chapter had a website where they talked about the meetings. They were informal, just dinner and chatting in a private room at a restaurant, and you could learn a little about the people from the website too. It seemed to be heavy on scientists and engineers. This is near a national labratory so that made sense. I would have liked to have more friends like that, still would. But, for all I know, mensa scientists and engineers might be the worst scientists and engineers. They also appeared to be mostly over 60 and I was 20 at the time.
There are discounts on certain things according to their website https://www.us.mensa.org/shop/benefits-and-services/

It’s going to vary.
My daughter’s high school was 3.95, 4.25 and 4.45 for the three honors. She had a 4.3 GPA and got the middle honor. At the college she’s in now it goes by top percentage and is somehow based on the previous year’s GPA. So, I think, they average everyone’s GPA from the previous grads and you get an honor for being in the top 5 or 10 percent of that number.

28·2 months agoThere was a car called the Brush Runabout in 1906 with coil springs but they didn’t catch on with everybody else until the 30s. The first Ford auto transmission came out on the 50s.
What I’m saying is, I don’t think this car is all original

I wonder if it’s just me or if other people who were around before Ubuntu feel the same way but the reason I hate Ubuntu is that it seemed to take over the Linux world.
A lot of the information about how to do something in Linux was drowned out by how to do it in Ubuntu. When searching for information you have to scroll down in the search results for something that sounds unrelated to Ubuntu.
Ubuntu material was often titled “how to do it in Linux” and you thought you had a good long tutorial until you read a few paragraphs in and realized it was for Ubuntu and wouldn’t work for you for whatever reason.
Even some software that says it’s available on Windows and Linux just means they have a Ubuntu package and if you’re really good there’s a chance you might be able to figure out how to use it on a non Ubuntu system.
It’s like when Ubuntu came out, people just assumed that Linux was Ubuntu. I’ve never used Ubuntu so a lot of the information I’ve came across regarding it has just been in the way of me finding useful information.
