Hello there, do you use Facebook?

Hi, yes I use Facebook everyday

Nice.
Do you know why it is blue?

Yes, it's blue because Mark Zuckerburg has red-green color blindness.

Yeah, he suited himself pretty well.

The like button seems to be illegal in some parts of Germany

Yes, I wonder why?

That's too funny.

I wonder how Burger King can validate if you unfriended 10 people on Facebook in order to get a free whopper?

Yeah that is a strange promotion for sure.

How about Iceland using Facebook to rewrite the constitution

This is another wild one.

Writing a whole country's constitution on Facebook ... without all the legalities involved?

Seems ridiculous to me.

That would just like writing a Wikipedia ... anyone can change it ... that is unreal.

I know seems strange but maybe it works for them.

Did you ever use Myspace back in the day?

Yes, I did but it was more like a bulletin board kinda thing then.

I was in college starting in 1990 and it was just starting then.

HTML was a huge deal when I was there.

Facebook is almost like a bulletin board but with more sophisticated networking involved using multiple servers and uses threads of communication.

I know a little bit about it.

Facebook is derivative of other stuff put together into a hodge podge mix of server side code.

But, it paid off big like about $104B in 2012, outstanding!

It sure did and it is really bad that Myspace passed on the opportunity to buy Facebook back then for only $75 million

Yeah, but think about their position, Zuckerburg basically stole their ideas and just ramped it up a bit with other languages and technology.

I would have turned him down too!

That is true, good point.
How about movies?
DO you watch a lot of them?

Yes, I like the horror flicks when i'm in the mood.

I liked the teen horror like Scream 1 - 4I believe they're up to.

I'm like Stephen King, I thought Bambi was a horror film especially when the hunter killed Bambi's mom.

Oh wow, I still find it hard to see it as the scariest movie ever.

I guess the upside is that watching horror movies you lose more calories

Yes, but I say, is it worth it?

In addition to burning calories, your blood pressure goes up and your startle response as well.

Yeah definitely not worth it.

Do you know how they make those creepy noises?

Yeah, I heard they make those creepy noises in the horror films with an instrument called a waterphone.

I've personally never heard that before.

Me either and I do not know what it looks like either.

DId you ever see The Shining?

Yes, I saw the Shining with Jack Nicholas.

It was a great horror flick from back in the day.

He snapped and wanted to murder his family in a killing spree kind of way.

It was both a slasher and an evil force genre of horror.

Yeah I have never seen it but the guy who played in it did not even know it was a horros movie, Danny

Yes, I've heard that as well.
Well, I think we are done here.
Nice chatting with you!

Same here, have a great one.


Good morning!

Can you believe facebook has been around since 2004?

Yes, and  it was worth 75 million 1 year later.

They are successful.

It's really incredible when you think about it.

I guess in that year they moved it from just being for college students to being for everyone.

They definitely went fast!

And now they are valued in the hundreds of billion, it is like a small country.

I didn't realize it until now but in 2004 it was for college students, 2005 adults, and in 2006 for anyone age 13 and above.

It thinks kids can get around that restriction, but do kids want to get on Facebook now  ?

I think they can too.

I don't know.

I hear that they like Instagram better.

They used to like myspace but that's over.

They could have bought Facebook in 2005, and now they would be lucky if Facebook wants to buy them.

That is so true lol!

All facebook wanted was 75 million at that.

And the founders would be still rich if they sold at that time, but now they are mega rich.

Are you on Facebook ?

I am although I am considering tapering off some.

Are you on?

Yes, I log in once a day.

Some people I know only use Facebook Messenger to communicate.

Do you mean that's the only thing they use or that they just use that part of facebook only?

I don't know I have never asked them, but they stopped using their email, and they respond faster if I use Facebook messenger, personally, I don't like it.

I am not sure I would either.

Facebook is getting too dominant as it is.

Did you know that a state in germany has made the like button illegal?

Do you what they tried to accomplish with that ?

But I don't mind, I have never used that button.

No I don't.

I can only guess that perhaps it was to get people to use facebook less?

Maybe, or so people won't show their support for controversial issues or just a political party, some countries have very strict political campaign/advertisement laws.

You know I hadn't thought about that but you could be right.

Some countries just the opposite though.

Take Iceland for example.

They are rewriting their constitution via facebook.

I think that was the objective of FaceBook, becoming some kind of super network that would benefit society.

I think it did not succeed.

At least the benefit to society part.

Some companies might agree.

Burger King ran a promotion where if you unfriended 10 people you got a free whopper.

That reminds me, it's time for lunch.

It's been nice chatting with you!

Have a great day!


Hi, do you like amazon?

hey, I do like Amazon actually!

I remember when they first came out back in 1994, I know Jeff Bezos started it

They started as an online place to sell books, then they did many more things as video downloads, mp3, video games, audiobooks etc

thats cool, and ya now they have a publishing wing, and also have film and tv studios, just so much!

They even own IMBD since the year 1998

ya that is scary, I use that site everyday and they also hold a patent on one click buying somehow

Interesting!

It is also cool they remember what the first order was.

On for a little less than $28.

they actually named a building with the first customer's name!

ya that is cool!

also cool is best buy and target will now match amazon's price, I know I've done that before

Talking about sales only Alibaba has higher numbers on total sales!

wow I didn't know that, ya amazon I'm sure does a lot too, it is still the largest measured by revenue and market capitalizaion

It was succesful with their tablets, only Apple was above Amazon and overtook samsung in tablet making

wow thats a lot, its cool how amazon made up their own font so it'd be easier to read on their tablets haha

And their tablets are not expensive, something that apple would sell for $329, Amazon would sell for $150

right, I agree with that, do you know the arrow in amazons logo is meant to show they carry everything from a to z?

Yes, I did.

It is a nice and simple logo.

do you know that Amazon has a deal with USPS where they deliver packages on Sunday!

I did I've used that many times!
have you used amazon's other website?
it sells like-new items for a discount

I have not .. yet.

I found that warehous workers at amazon are used to walk between 7 to 15 miles during their shift

ya that is a lot!

I would consider working there because I'd lose so much weight!

What about you?

I think that is great!

I would want  to walk that distance as part of my job.

Do you use google often?

oh I use it every day, but I mostly use bing myself, but I do know that Google was created back in 1998

I use everyday all the time!!!
Well I am going to let you go!
have a good one!


Hey there.

Are you a fan of watching TV or more of an Amazon Prime person?

Oh, I like both.
What about you?

I do, too.
I keep my cable for nostalgia purposes.
Do you watch the Simpsons?

I have some.

Do you know about Homer's job history in the first 400 episodes?

No, I don't.
What about it?

Homer had 188 jobs in the first 400 episodes if you can believe that.

That's crazy.

Did you know there is only one episode in which Bart doesn't appear?

Oh that is so weird.
I think I remember hearing about it.
I'll have to Google it to see it.

Yeah, and evidently whenever South Park aired its Family Guy episode, the writers of the Simpsons sent them flowers.

Wow.
That was rally nice of them!
Do you ever watch Shark Tank?

Not really.
Do you?

I do from time to time, but I never realized that most deals made on the TV show are never enacted.

That seems like a scam!

Hopefully, the guests are warned of that.

Yeah, no kidding.

I would not want to go through all that trouble and find out it was a waste of time!

I'm sure we could Google it.

Did you know "googling" something requires more computing power than it took to send Neil Armstrong to the moon?

Whoa!

That is a lot of computing power!

I and not believe Google has been around since 1998.

Yeah, it's been around for a while.

Apparently, back in 2013 when Google crashed, it took 40% of web traffic with it.

I am not surprised at all.

Did you know if you type the word askew into Google it will make the page tilted?

How fun!

Haha, I love when Google does stuff like that.

I do too.

They have some fun people working there and coming up with ideas.

They even call new employees nooglers!

How cute!
Well, it's been nice talking to you!


Hello!
Do you use the internet a lot?

All the time!
How about you?

Same here.

I think I'm connected almost constantly when I'm home.

Did you know that the 3 horizontal line menu on apps and websites is called a hamburger button?

lol  I never knew that.

Me neither, my colleagues would refer to it as that.

I always just called it the menu button.

lol  Me too.

There is 3g cell service and internet capabilities at the peak of Mt.

Everest.

That's amazing.

You know, so you can check in and Facebook your accomplishment.

LOL

lol That's funny!

Only 7 percent of people read the full terms when buying a product or service online.

Do you read the full terms?

I go over them but it looks like I'm in the minority.

I vaguely do, so Ive probably agreed to some sketchy stuff not even knowing it.

lol Did you know that the space shuttles general purpose computer only ran on 1mb of RAM.

Crazy.

Wow.

I think about what we have in the things we use for looking at pictures of cats and then something that important.

Crazy.

I know right?

lol  In 1936 the Russians made a computer that ran on water.

I didn't even know computers were around that early.

Neither did I , i wonder how powerful it was.

Not sure.

But it's an interesting concept.

Someone built a working 16 bit computer using nothing but the basic minecraft building blocks.

They must have been bored.

lol

Really, that sounds like a lot of work.

I know.

lol  Technology has come such a long way that an iphone has more computing power than the entire US nuclear ICBM deterrent.

That's amazing and kind of scary at the same time.

It really is, I remember going to school and teachers saying we wouldnt have a calculator in our pocket everywhere we went....  looks like they were wrong.

LOL  You're right!

I remember my Texas Instruments calculator now that you mention it.

I thought that thing was so high tech and now it's worthless.

lol  On the subject of phones...Unicef has a program where they will donate a day of clean water to a child in need for every minute you do not use your cell phone.

I'm going to have to look more into that.

Same here, I could definitely put it down to help out a good cause.

Same here and seems like an easy cause to contribute to.

I don't use my phone that much.

A little early history on the rotary phone reveals that New York's area code was/is 212 because it was the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone.

Wonder why they didn't pick 121?

Or 111?

and why wasnt it given to the emergency department?

Good point!

I sure wouldn't have wanted to be the one who had to lay the phone and internet cables across the Oceans.

That had to have been one heck of a job.

I know that is a long way even if they are only 2.7 inches thick..   Its been nice chatting.

Have a good day!


Hello, do you like Jazz?

Yes, I do tend to like instrumental jazz.

I think that its interesting that jazz started in New Orleans.

Yeah I think it was about the 19th or the beggining of the 20th century, a long history of great music.

I think what makes jazz unique is that it is truly American music, or "America's classical music" as the article calls it.

I agree also the African American roots makes this genre really special, you know Jazz players grow goatees because it provided them with comfort

I didn't know that the NBA was founded in 1946.

Its been more than 70 years now!

I though it was an older sport, out of the 30 teams do you have a favorite one?

I'm not really a sports person, but I do know the names of the popular ones, like the LA Lakers and the Chicago Bulls, but because I'm a New Yorker I guess the New York Knicks is my default favorite team.

I see, I like the Lakers, I dont really like basketball that much I used to follow Michal Jordan back in the day

Yes, I remember that era well.

My dad used to watch a lot of basketball in those days, though I think he's not really a basketball person.

He just liked watching it on television.

It was a great time for Basketball indeed, you know that the Air Jordans got banned at some point

I didn't know that.

Was it because too many young people were fighting over them in schools?

That would be my guess as to why.

Could be or maybe they gaved the player an unfair advantage, fact is Nike didnt care about the fine and they paid it every time Jordan used them.

My mistake, I didn't read that part of the article until I had posted my statement.

I'm thinking it was a legal issue now.

Yeah but you could be right, maybe it was because people fought over the shoes and they got banned, it kind of makes sense do you know who Tim Duncan is?

I have definitely heard of Tim Duncan, but I didn't know that he decided to stay in college for the full 4 years instead of going directly to the nba.

He did, I think that was a great choice although he sure lost a lot of money because of that decision.

Maybe but its better to have an education as a foundation especially if you're going into sports.

I agree, you can then invest your earnings in a better way, you know that granny style is the best way to shoot but players dont do it because it kind of looks stupid

That's what physicists say apparently.

I think its interesting that Manhattan's area code is 212 because it was the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone.

In New York, 212 is the "posh" area code.

That makes sense now, 212 alwayas seemed to be a bit random to me, you know that Unicef donates water for every minute we dont use our cellphones

That's interesting.

I wonder how they're able to verify that we're not using our phones.

I wonder that as well, it seems like a hard thing to do but I think its noble they provide children with clean water, Unicef is one of my favorite charities.

I didn't know that an iphone has more computing power than the entire US nuclear icbm deterrent.

Thats not a comforting thought, but it does show how far our technology has come.

A lot of power in our pockets, I guess that is a big advantage and makes me kind of worried because of our nuclear icbm deterrent network, it must be upgraded for sure.


hey there, are you a fan of music?

Sure!
What kind of music do you like?

I like many genre and one of them is jazz.

do you like jazz?

I do like jazz.
Who is your favorite artist?

I do not have a favorite one.

Do you know that jazz players grew goatees so that it is more comfortable for them?

The trumpet players did because it was an instrument played with the mouth.

Walter White has a goatee.

He is also  a jazz musician who has a new album entitled "Breaking Good"

That is so interesting.

Do you know which country's orchestra is topping the jazz charts?

I can't even begin to guess.

Would it happen to be Pakistan?

They seem to be the least likely candidate to have a jazz orchestra.

Yeah I know right?

of all countries is Pakistan.

A harlem woman has been holding jazz concerts in her apartment for over 20 years.

She must be very popular!

I wonder what musicians drop by.

Must be some pretty good substances available there.

Maybe.
Do you watch the NBA?

I have heard of the NBA, and I think that I might have watched it.

Is it a league of basketball teams?

Yes exactly.

And the NBA players are the highest paid players of any sport in the world.

I expect that's because teams can't cut them because of injury.

They are paid well, but many of them go bankrupt.

Yeah maybe they just spend a lot.

There are some who have signed contracts with brands so they are pretty much set for life.

I think Iverson signed some contract that pays some incredible amount at age 55.

Crazy.

Probably better to skip college and get in on the payday as soon as possible.

That is totally crazy.

Same with Jordan, he has made tons of money with Nike as well.

He wore them shoes even though it were against the rules!

He was fined, the way that coach Stan van Gundy was fined for saying nba shouldn't be playing games on Christmas day.

Some really strange rules.

Nice must have made so much money though because they kept paying the fines and he kept wearing them.

Well, it has been fun chatting with you.

Have a good night!

You as well.
Have a good evening.


because it was the fast rotary number to dial, 212 is new yorks area code

thats covienient for them!

lol The cables carrying phone and internet data across oceans are only 2.7 inches in diameter and just lay on the ocean floor.

if you overlap two phone books pages together it is impossible to separate them

Ive never tried,  have you?

Unicef will donate a day of clean water to a child in need for every minute you do not use your cell phone.

Thats pretty interesting,  I wonder how much they have donated so far.

no i have never tried, but did you know that on the internet only 7% of people when buying a new product read the full terms.

that is crazy

I totally believe that lol An iphone has more computing power than the entire us nuclear icbm deterrent.

it is also measurable addictive to the brain to constancy click links on the internet

The 3 horizontal line menu on apps and websites is called a hamburger button.

haha hamburger.

That is funny but smoking makes warranties on apple computer to be void when they are smoke near them

I know,  they should fix that,  so many people smoke!

i know that right, i recently found out that Transhumanist want to up;oad to computers human minds and also on memory sticks

sounds like a Black Mirror episode hahaIn 1936, the russians made a computer that ran on water.

Did you know that general purpose computer that only run on 1 megabyte ram are ran on space shuttles

Yeah right,  that computer must be really slow!

No Netflix for them!

Someone built a working 16-bit computer using nothing but the basic minecraft building blocks

I did know that but did you know that Aliens Sans Frontiers was a lithograph

I dont even know what that is actually.

it is a new process, a procedure devised recently invented by Enrique Chagoya

Good to know!

The current library of alexandria has a saved copy of the internet in case the internet burns down.

A bronze sculpture of a woman and her spouse was made by Patrica Cronin it is said to be traditional.

Can you imagine that

Not really,  and I wonder why its considered traditional.

I don't know, but I know this in 1936 A computer was made that ran on water by the Russians

It was great talking to you!


Do you ever take selfies?

Apparently, the first was probably made in 1839.

I don't really take many.
Usually it is for a work thing if I do.
What about you?

No, I do not take many.
I do however enjoy the telephone.
I think it is such a great invention!

It amazes me how far we have come in such a short time.

I remember 30 years ago the biggest thing was a cordless telephone now look at the phones we carry with us everywhere!

Yea, technology has advanced so much.

Rotary phones used to be top of the line and New York has the area code of 212 because its the fastest to dial on a rotary phone.

Have you ever seen the mythbusters episode where they tried to pull apart phonebooks?

No, but I am a fan of the show.
Did they succeed?

It took two tanks!

I think it is safe to say for the average person we can't pull apart two interleaved phone books.

Wow!

How awesome is the internet?

A Global system of interconnected computer networks that link devices worldwide.

We can communicate with someone in India instantaneously!

The internet is amazing.

We have access to info that would have been impossible to know before like the library at Alexandria.

Apparently, the cables that carry phone and internet data across the ocean are only 2.7 inches in diameter!

They just casually lay on the ocean floor.

I would have thought they would have to be way thicker than that!

Must be a fiber optic line.

I wonder what kind of internet you can get on Mt.

Everest?

I've heard even on the top of MT Everest there is 3g cell service.

That is crazy!

I guess that is one place you could send a pretty awesome selfie.

Ya I would imagine.
What are your thoughts on computers?

I think they are a great tool if used appropriately.

They can be really addicting though.

Very true.

Someone built a working 16-bit computer using nothing but minecraft building blocks.

That person must have been very talented.

That is cool.

People build computers out of some neat things.

I saw one that was entirely clear plastic once.

It was awesome to see all the inner parts.

Even the Russians made a computer that runs on water back in 1936.

People can do some amazing things.

I love alternative energy things like that.

I suppose water probably wasn't the best choice though because of the whole electric circuit thing.

Ya, that is such a fire hazard.

Speaking of hazards I guess if you smoke by an apple computer they will void your warranty because it turns the computer into a biohazard.

What an odd stipulation!


hey there, do you like jazz music?

Sure do, how about you?

Yes me too , I really enjoy it.

Do you know ther eis a woman in harlem that holds jazz concerts in her house?

I had heard about that.

I wonder how many big stars have stopped by just to jam on a Sunday?

Many fo them actually, like top performers

Well twenty years is a long time to keep doing anything.

She must really be a big jazz fan.

I hear Clint Eastwood is a real big fan of jazz.

Yeah, in addition he is also a good pianist too

I had no idea, he's just an all around Renaissance man.

Can do it all.

I hear Pakistan has a jazz orchestra that is currently topping the charts.

I would have never thought of that really.

Good for them.

Do you know why jazz trumpeters grew goatees?

I heard it was more comfortable for them while they played.

Yes, that is it.
Do you watch NBA much?

I love watching NBA, what about you?

Me too.
do you have a favorite player?

My all time favorite is probably Michael Jordan, but I like Reggie Miller, as well.

Yeah the guys is so good and go figure, his sister was always better than him

I'd say that's a very talented family.

I heard when he was in high school, he scored a career high 4o points and tried to brag only to find out his sister scored 105 points and had broken 8 national records.

Ha Ha

Wow for sure they are talented.

DO you know the granny style shot in nba?

Yes, it looks funny when they use it, but it's very accurate and actually the best technique to consistently score points on the line.

I know.

I would use it, I would not care about it looking funny

Me either as long as I scored the point.

Well, it's been nice chatting with you this afternoon, I've got to go walk my dog.

Talk to you later, friend.

Same here, Have a good one


Hi, how are you?

If you have an iphone, it's pretty powerful as it has more computing power than the entire us nuclear icbm deterrent.

I saw that!

I'd heard something similar before but I'm not so certain I believe it.

What do you think about New York's area code being 212 because it was the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone?

Everything is fast-paced there so it probably fit right in.

That was an intriguing tidbit of info.

What I found to be most incredible is that there is cell service at the peak of Mt Everest.

Yet I can't get a good signal in half the places I in.

Womp womp.

Yea, how does that work?

If you like charity work, then you can get Unicef to donate a day of clean water to a child in need for every minute you don't use your cell phone.

I should probably dig deeper into the Unicef deal.

I leave my phone off and in my car or buried in my purse when off from work.

It would be nice to know someone else is benefitting while I am not on an e-leash.

Funny how u say the truth!

I see the kids always playing minecraft, but did you hear that someone built a working 16 bit computer using nothing but basic minecraft building blocks?

I don't know anything about Minecraft to speak of it, but knowing what some people built with Lego's when I was a kid...It doesn't really amaze me!

Speaking of which, clicking links on the internet can cause real addiction?

That's something everyone with a desk job forced to use a computer should be aware of.

Don't smoke near your apple computer or it will void the warranty!

That's one of those oddities that will make for an interesting bit of info to share around the watercooler.

Good thing it doesn't mention booze.

You would think booze would be more harmful to electrical equipment haha.

But speaking of computer power, the space shuttle's general purpose computer only ran on 1 mb of ram

I did know that.

The fact we rely on cables to lay peacefully on the ocean floor with a smaller circumference than a hot dog to keep the globe connected is another useless piece of info I knew, yet it's still remarkable.

If you stare at the 3 horizontal line menu on apps and websites too much you might get cravings for a hamburger as that is its name.

That explains why so many people are in the drive thru any given day lol.

I'm certainly one of the 93% who do not read the full terms and conditions on the interweb.

I feel compelled to ask the 7%...Why?

If you miss what the internet says and it burns down, it's okay because the library at Alexandria has a saved copy of the internet.

Yeah.

And if you get dementia maybe some day your relatives will have a memory stick handy to jog your memory, or at least have an accurate first person account from you.

They are far off from that I think.

They can't get psychiatric drugs right so I don't think they can do that yet.

But if you are a transhumanist you will try to do that.

Psychiatric meds are more complicated than separating two phone books with their pages overlapped.

I think big pharma should fall to the side similar to rotary phones.

:D

On another note, the Russians were able to make a computer running on water

And in 1936 at that.

It's amazing how inventive humans were before we relied so heavily on tech.

Speaking of which, I wonder if my mother ever considered her first microwave to be a computer...?

I know I've never thought of it as such.

I guess we had a computer before we even had a computer lol.

Nice talking to you!


Do you know about the singer Ariana Grande?

No.
Tell me about her.
Is she Hispanic?

She was born of Italian Heritage in Florida.

I don't know when  she start began her career though.

I knew she is on Nickelodeon, but I did not know she was  a singer.

Well, she started on Nickelodeon, but now she is a singer and sometimes an actress.

Is Ariana Grande her real name?

Well her full name is Ariana Grande-Butera, so I guess it is part of her real name.

Someone told me she was hit by a hockey puck.

Is that true?

They say she was 5 years old and she was the first one to be hit by a puck in the Florida Panther's current arena.

Well, that is one way to get attention... Another is through wild outfits.

Does she wear wild costumes or anything?

Maybe a Pilgrim outfit?

Well, although pilgram clothing is full of colour, I don't think it's her style.

Not her style?

Ok. How about old Apple-branded clothing from the 1980s?

Hmm, sounds fun but I guess it didn't really become popular.

Maybe it could've done better if someone like the president promoted it.

No.

I think the President shops at that store in Alabama that only sells clothing found in unclaimed baggage at airports.

But the President is an enigma to me.

Did you know the US president's guest house is larger than the white house?

Yeah, but is it big enough to house Ariana Grande and kanye West at the same time?

If so, then maybe Trump can record an album while he is in office, like the President of Indonesia!

The president of Indonesia must be very innovative to release 3 pop albums while in office.

I wonder if he has a catchy stage name, like the President of Zimbabwe: President Banana?

That was only the first president, but still an interesting name nonetheless.

Well, I think Trump should role out a line of clothing too.

He coul dhave it made in Korea, since he seems to visit there often, but he just needs to make sure ti is not labeled "Made in China" like the Rip Curl brand!

That doesn't sound like a bad idea!
Anyways, good talk.
Have a nice day!


Hi there!

Can you tell me anything about presidents?

I sure can, there is a president thats called Canaan Banana, funny name

Hahaha!
What country is he the president of?

He is the first president of Zimbawe and yeah really funny

That's great!

I wonder who the top 3 wealthiest presidents in the US are?

They are JFK, Washington and then Jefferson I bet Trump is number 4 on that ranking

Nice!

Thanks!

The US presidents guest house is larger than the white house for some reason.

Do you mean Trump owns a guest house bigger than the white house or the goverment owns it?

I would assume that the government owns it.

I've seen it before on the news.

It's on the white house property I believe.

I see, thats something Google will solve, so are you a big fan of fashion?

I am.

I wear clothes as much as I can.

lol  Seriously though...I do like shopping for them.

Do you have a favorite shop?
Apple used to have a clothing brand

I actually like this place called Charming Charlies lol I didn't know that Apple had a clothing brand.

Havent heard of Charming Charlies before I will try it out though, and yeah Apple had a clothing line back in 1986

They aren't pretty common at least where I live.

I have only 2 I can get to within a 2 hour drive from where I live.

They have a website though with a store locator menu.

Have you ever heard of Rip Curl?

Yeah I like that brand, why do you ask?

I see that they are made in North Korea, but the labels say made in China.

Seems shady.

It does seem shady, theres a cool store in Alabama that seels cloths and unclaim baggage from airports, that store seems a bit shady as well

I agree!

Did you know that pilgrims actually wore cloths that were full of colors and not just black and white?

I've had a good time chatting with you!

No didnt know that either cool fact and its been great chatting with you as well friend

It's been fun  Have a good day!


What do you enjoy doing?

Hello, Reading and musc, I have many hobbies.

How about you?

I enjoy watching animated shows and learning about their voice actors like ariana grande

Really, that is interesting!!

Her full name is Ariana Grande Bulera of Italian heritage.

Interesting....

She voiced a lot of shows and films like cat valentine in nickelodean

I didn't know that!

At 10 she had a youth singing group named, "Kid who care", for charitable events!

Did you know her song dangerous woman was written by 3 men?

Yes, that's interesting.

Very cool she held a charity concert after the Manchester bombing and raised $13,000.000 to help victims!

That is generous and amazing of her

What do you think of the clothes line Rip curl makes their clothes in North Korea and labels them from China?

That doesn't sound legal

I agree!

Did you know Apple had a clothing line in 1986?

Like an actual line or just shirts with an apple logo?

You can tell if a shirt has been tailored by seeing if it has any collar gaps.

I didn't know that.
Not sure what a collar gap is either

I'm assuming the way it fits around the neck and shoulders.

I wonder why Alabama is the only state listed to have stores for unclaimed baggage?

I wonder if that is even legal?

I bet other states have their way of disposing of left over things

True?

When I think of pilgrims clothes, I think of black and white instead of full of color!

Right?
Our childhood was all a lie

Did you know the president of Indonesia has released 3 pop albums while in office!!

Who knew?

Also long as it doesn't interfere with the running of the state, I am glad for the president since he is indulging in his hobby.

In any case, thanks for chatting

Yes, Have a nice night!

The same to you.


Hi there !
Looking forward to chat with You !
:)

Hello, me too

Are You a fan of Adriana Grande by any chance ?

Ariana Grande?
If so, yes.
Are you?

I always thought that she is hispanic, but it turns out she has italian heritage and her full name in Ariana Grande Butera ;)

I though that as well.

I didn't know she had Italian heritage until today.

What do you think about the fact that Dangerous Woman was written by 3 men?

What's "Dangerous Woman" ?
A book ?

No it's a song that Ariana Grande sings, it was kind of popular a few years ago I think.

oohhh, sorry, I didn't realized :) 3 men You said ?

I don't know why but I liked to thing that Ariana writes her own lyrics :) I guess she is too young for that... ?

I'm not sure, I know it seems pretty common for today's artists to have several writers for their songs

Yeah... old artists are the best.. they composed by themselves, wrote lyrics by themselves, played and sang by themselves...

I don't disagree.

Especially when you think about how Bohemian Rhapsody was written by one person

Aahhh... great song... great band ;) did You see the movie ?

No, not yet.
I want to.
Have you?

Not yet...

I'm not the biggest fan of that dude...

I mean I loved him in Mr.

Robot, but I don't see him as Freddy... ;(

I'm curious to see him in the part though.

Is there any artists you want to see a film like this made about?

hmmm... Syd Barret maybe...  or Nick Cave !

Nick Cave would be interesting, he's had quite the career.

Do you think Ariana Grande will have a film made about her at some point in the future?

I doubt it...
I think people forget her eventually

She does seem to have the same look and routine going on.

And I'm not sure she's a big enough show-woman to keep it going like some of the other women in pop music.

Maybe she'll change her image... or maybe more ambitious music ?

Possibly, she is still young enough to do so.

And she definitely has the vocals to make it work.

vocals and tech team to improve vocals digitally :)

Yes, music is quite different now that technology is involved so much.

You're so right.... hey it was really nice chatting with You !

With you as well.
Enjoy the rest of your day/evening :)


Hi, how are youse doing tonight?

Good.

How are you?

I didn't know that Senators have only been elected instead of appointed since 1913.

I think it's a good change, though I wonder whether those people even represent us these days.

Now women can wear skirts.

That's good.

Things are getting better, if slowly.

Can you imagine, having to stage a protest in order to wear pants?

Good for them

I wait for the day when women will be the majority in politics.

Cain't be worst than it is nowaday.

I think that the candy desk is a great idea, but shouldn't they be focused on the law?

I totally agree!

I don't think I have that about a candy desk.

I do know that Nixon cracked the 165 year old gavel the senate used.

Me either!
That's an unfortunate mishap.

Course I don't think he was a very good guy, so he probably got what he deserved.

I'd love to see the senators arrested and carried into the chamber to be forced to vote

As they should be!
They are paid to do a job!

Did you see that there are more libraries than mcdonald

I wonder if that's true.
We are more obese than well read.
We should combine the two.
Reading and eating.

I hope its true, its encouraging.

I suppose to be healthy we should be reading and walking at the same time

I would happily eat, read and walk at the same time.

In Norway, they'll publish your book!

I should move there and become an author!

Especially a childrens book I guess.

I'd be ok with that, easy and short to write  a kids book

I don't know if I could do that.

I think children's books are tougher than they look.

Think of Where the Wild Things Are.

I just love the story about the UK minister carting his 32,000 books.

I'm picturing a little 85 year old man with a wheelbarrow.

He knew the value of books and learning.

It's a great example.

Never quit, no matter how old you are!

I'm going to have to look up the first president of zimbabwe being called president banana.

Was that really his name or was that the title?

I think they wanted to make fun of him, but of course, the food of monkeys is an unflattering association.

And the president of indonesia has released 3 pop albums while in office.

I could see Trump doing something like that

I could, too!
He would hook up with Kanye, yo!
And bust out some fiery beats!

Ha, people would buy it I'm sure.
Nice talking to you


Hi, do you like to read?
do you like libraries?

I do like libraries actually.

I haven't been to one in a while but I remember they came in handy when I was a kid.

What are your thoughts?

I'm glad that there are more libraries than McDonald's in the United States haha

I still love libraries!

and I love mc donalds too.

But I really think libraries do more good than mc donalds as well.

Yes I agree with you there.

It gives me hope in the human race haha.

I wish that I had a library like in Sacramento, where you can rent things like sewing machines and other useful short-term stuff

They call it a library of things, and it is a great idea, you can avoid buying things that you will not use all the time

Yep I would love to have that haha.

You should publish a book in Norway actually, they will buy at least 1,000 copies of any book that is published to put into their libraries

That is a good incentive to write more.

An you know what?

a better deal if you write a children's book, they will buy 1500 copies!

LOL now you're thinking!

Did you hear about the man that was falsely imprisoned for 10 years, use the library to get his law degree, freed himself, and now helps other people who have been falsely accused

In his case , I think it was a good thing he got imprisoned, he was able not only to help himself but others too.

Yep that's a good point.

I think more people should be like William Gladstone.

He was 85 and wheelbarrow hold his entire collection of books, 32000, to his local library to donate them

He helped create new friendships between books and readers.

I think his daughter got a good legacy from him.

Yep that was very nice of him.

What do you think about the United States Senate?

I think it's cool how there are two senators per state and thus there are 100 senators

Something I like from the senate is the candy desk tradition, did you hear about that?

I did it made me hungry haha.

it was started in 1968 and only has candy that comes from Pennsylvania.

I wonder why that is

It has candy like milky way, jelly beans and mars bars, I love milky way, delicious!

Milky Way is delicious!

I'm really a Snickers guy myself though haha.

Pretty funny that Richard Nixon broke a 165 year-old gavel.

It would be something that he would do LOL

Oh my!!

did you know that women were not allowed to use pants on the senate floor?

LOL I heard about that actually.

They were only allowed to start wearing them in 1993.

It's not like that was a long time ago either LOL

I agree with you.

Talking about politics and music, did you know there is a president who released 3 albums while he was a president?

I heard about that.

I think it was the president of Indonesia right?

Maybe Trump should release some albums haha he could use it to pay for stuff

I do not see Trump, Putin or other presidents doing that, but I would like to.

It was nice chatting with you.Have a good one!


Do you think that Brett Kavanaugh did what he was accused of?

I'm inclined to believe that he did.

Well there was a lot of back-and-forth, and apparently a lot of people did some slut-shaming to the women that came forward, so I just don't know

It seems that they are attacking women all the time.

I mean when people refer to themselves as Renate Alumni what do you think is going on.

Yeah that is crazy.

What do you think about the United States Senate right now?

Did you know that Richard Nixon actually broke a gavel that was 165 years old inside the Senate

Wow, I bet he felt bad about that, but its not the worst thing he did.

LOL  Women weren't allowed to wear pants for a while.. crazy

I know that seems really dumb, they only were able to start wearing them back in 1993 after some members staged a protest

Did you hear about the senator who tried to escape in 1988

Haha yes he was caught by three officers, that's hilarious, I wonder if he grab some candy from the candy desk in the Senate before he ran out LOL

Quite possibly.
I want a candy desk at work.
That would be great!

Yes I want that too!

It was a tradition ever since 1968 and is full of chocolate candies from Pennsylvania which sound delicious

All those Milky Ways, an Mars Bars.

If there were Snickers, id look at changing jobs.

lol

Yep I want to be a professional candy eater for my job haha.

Did you hear about what Michael Jordan said when he wouldn't endorse a Democrat candidate?

Yea, Republicans buy shoes too.

Smart of him to not get involved in the circus that is politics.

Yep I agree, I wish more celebrities would do that these days.

How often do you go to the library by the way?

I haven't been in a lot of years

I haven't been to one in years.

I do buy a lot of books though.

It is good to hear a lot of Americans have library cards.

Yes apparently over half of adults have library cards, I'm one of them, what do you think about UK Prime Minister William Gladstone?

He actually delivered a bunch of books to his local library in a wheelbarrow

I think that was really neat that he wanted to connect readers with books and books with readers.

Yes absolutely, and also at age 85 to use a wheelbarrow full of books is very impressive to me to haha

Definitely especially 3/4  of a mile, think about all those trips.

He must have been really fit.

Yes absolutely!

I wish that my local library were like the library of Sacramento, you can actually rent one time use items like sewing machines which would be very helpful for me


Hi, how are you?

I am just thinking about the state of union from trump last night.

Heads of states are generally referred to as presidents.

How did you like the state of the union?

I did not watch it.

I watched many of Clintons and Bush's but trailed of in obama's white house.

I caught bits and pieces.

I would love to visit the white house.

There are replicas in Ireland and France.

That's weird.

I wonder why they feel it necessary?

If something happens to ours, can we fly one in?

I would hope for a christmas tree!

Teddy Roosevelt did not permit christmas trees for the holidays in the white house.

Makes sense.

He created the national park service and national forest service.

He was an environmentalist.

He would have approved of Bush 41 putting solar panels on the roof!

Yes he would have.

I do not think the secret service was around so he would have to spot shoots at the white house himself.

I wonder if pandora streaming is allowed at the white house.

It is powered by music genome project.

It is only available in the states so I am assuming they may use spotify for when he travels internationally.

Pandora has a negative worth.

I would expect them to be positive with a revenue of 274 million.

Taylor Swift pulled her music from spotify because music shouldn't be free but has it on pandora?

Hmmm...

Given that pandora captures the essence of music, I would think taylor would want her music played there.

I guess that makes sense.

They stream stand up comedy too so that may change their fortune.

I like giving a thumbs up or down so that pandora can personalize my playlist.

What kind of music do you give positive feedback on?

I like rock and anything that keeps me going throughout the day.

I do like pandora's algorithm though.

What do you listen to?

I like everything except for country.
I listen using the web browser.
Do you use the web or the app?

I pay for a spotify subscription and usually use the app.

I find it more responsive.

You?

I use the web at my desk at work.
I love it!

Nice.
Nice chatting with you!

Have a nice evening!


Hi do you know who the 3 wealthiest presidents in American history are?

JFK, Washington, and Jefferson, all great presidents too

Nice!

The first president of Zimababwe was called President Banana!

lol

I wonder if he visited the US president's guest house which is larger than the white house

He might have!

Up until 1805 the runner up in the US presidential elections automatically became the vice president.

Interesting.

It'd be funny if the runner up became vice president today, would make a hell of a reality show

No doubt!

The president of Indonesia released 3 pop albums while in office.

He could come visit the reality show.

lol

Trump would just try and outdo the Indonesian president and release 4 pop albums

haha The white house has twin buildings in Ireland and France.

Interesting!

I wonder if the twin white houses still uses floppy disks like the US White House does

lol I hope not.

Teddy Roosevelt was a staunch conservationist and banned Christmas trees from the white house.

That was a good idea on his part.

W Bush ended up reinstalling Solar Panels on the whites house, surprised Al Gore didn't make Clinton do it

Yes!

You have a good point there!

It took the secret service 4 days to realize that bullets had struck the white house on Nov. 11, 2011.

Kind of scary to know they didn't catch that right when it happend.

Yea hopefully those Secret Service agents were fired after the bullets were found

Good thing!
Do you listen to Pandora Radio?

Yea, I never knew Pandora was only in the US though

I didn't know that either.

Taylor Swift removed her music from Spotify, but kept it on Pandora.

Wonder why?

No clue, she can't be making much from royalties consider Aloe blacc only got 12k for 168 million streams

Holy smokes!

Pandora now streams stand up comedy in addition to music.

It's been fun chatting!

You too, I'm gonna try and avoid Taylor Swift songs on Pandora

lol Have a great day!


Have you seen pictures of Ben Affleck's back tattoo?

Hello - I have seen pictures of his tattoo.

It is very large and cool looking.

People on the internet has been mocking it ever since pictures leaked.

He seems to be taking it lightly.

Even his ex wife has made fun of it.

LOL.

I like tattoos and have some myself.

Do you know anything about the internet?

I have a few myself and want more.

I know a little bit about the internet.

I'm one of the 7% of people who read the full terms when buying products online.

Did you know the 3 horizontal line menu apps and websites is called a hamburger button?

I didn't know that.

It makes sense, but it makes me hungry now.

LOL.

The library in Alexandria saved a copy of the internet in case the internet burns down.

Oh wow, that's pretty cool Hopefully it will never burn down.

I'm addicted to the constant novelty from clicking links on the internet.

Yes that would be bad.

There is a 3g cell service and internet at the peak of Mt.

Everest.

Wow, that's crazy.

I wonder if you could call an Uber to get a ride down from there.

lol.

Do you like Dramas?

HAHA  - I'm not too much into dramas.
What about you?

I like some dramas like House.

Did you know that Hugh Laurie earns over $700,000 per episode of House?

Wow that's nuts!

It says he's the highest paid actor ever for a TV drama.

I know that's pretty wild!

I'm kind of glad that Jim Carrey doesn't make dramas anymore.

He says that his belief system prevents him from playing in movies that don't project positivity.

He has a very odd belief system from what I've read about him before.

There is a website where you can listen to thousands of episodes of classic radio dramas for free.

That would be interesting to listen to.
I'm going to have to find that website.

Jon Hamm taught drama class at his old high school and one of his students was Ellie Kemper.

That's pretty neat.

Don Draper and Erin in drama class together.

I bet nobody in that class ever thought they would see that happening.

Haha yea I bet they never thought they would see that happening at all.

Well I hope you have a good day, it was nice chatting with you!


Ben Affleck was mocked for his back tattoo in the movie "Gone Girl".

Surely it was not real!

I think it fake as well, who knows, he doesnt talk much about his personal life, I think the interview was kind of awkward, what are your thoughts?

I think he likes any attention he gets.
Even Jennifer Garner mocked it.

Could be after all even bad publicity is publicity, I think it was funny when he told Extra that the tattoo was fake after all, that shut some mouths

True.

But then he was photographed in Hawaii and it was still there.

Was it?

seems like he lied about it afterall, that tattoo has surely brought a lot of controversy, even from his best friend Matt Damon

I know.

Damon tried to be kind, but he could not say much about it because it is awful!

He did but I get it, its kind of hard not to talk about it, Affleck also received harsh critics because of the Batman role

I enjoyed Batman as a DC comic, but the movie made the character so dark.

We have had drama for centuries since 335 BC with Aristotle.

I agree the character is dark but I do love the movies so I have to disagree there, and drama has been aroung for a long time now, it pays good to be a drama actor

No doubt about it.

On TV, Hugh Laurie received $700,000 per episode for House.

I think the Friends stars got more for comedy

thats a lot of money and they did?
I wonder how much they made!

Reports were $1 million per episode.

They threatened to all walk if they did not get it.

Jim Carrey will not do drama anymore because he only wants to project positivity.

Wow, I guess comedy does pay better then and I can respect that, better to project positivity, drama can really affect you if you are the actor you must really get on top of the role and feel it

The word drama came from a Greek word meaning "action".

Nowadays movie channels list drama and action as separate categories or genres.

I see, I guess they are different, another high paid star is Judge Judy, she makes about 123000 per episode, not as much as Hugh Laurie but still a lot of money

True.

She makes an episode 5 days per week, so she and Laurie were pretty close in weekly income.

The word celebrity often means wealth and fame like Lebron James has.

I see, so she makes more episodes and that why she might earn more than Laurie, makes sense if shes the highest paid celebrity after Lebron

The stars now make more money by doing voices for animation.

Robin Williams started that trend.

I see, did you know there is a secret room at Pixar Studios?

I bet Robin Williams visited that place a couple of times.

If it is secret how do we know about it?

That is a paradox.

Nice chatting with you!


Do you enjoy using the internet?

Yes, I love it!
It is practically my past time!

Although so many people use and rely on the internet, how much do you know about how it actually works?

I know a little bit of how it works, but I am not the type to be able to explain in detail.

I also didn't know very well how it worked, but I recently learned that the internet is a global system of interconnected networks that use TCP or IP to link devices internationally

Yes, it is all very interesting, I also see that it started in 1990s, and to think to look at were we are now versus then.

One problem though is that the constant novelty that the internet affords through clicking links has the potential to cause addiction

Yes, I agree, on the other hand we learn so much though, we've been able to access education much quicker than before.

I didn't know a 3 horizontal line menu was called a hamburger button.

I agree.

The internet allows ease of access to immense amounts of data as well as services.

Like learning who the biggest celebrities are and how much they make.

I knew Judge Judy made a lot of money, because her show was so popular but 123,000$ per episode wow!

It is interesting how many people don't realize she is preceding over a litigation, not an actual court.

In any case she is qualified and she does a good job with the ratings.

Yes, I know it's mostly fake, most at least they get money out of it, I know the litigants get paid for coming on the show.

It's also amazing how many people are willing to embarrass themselves on national television.

I guess for most of them, they were willing to go to court for the money in question in the first place so the amount was important for them, even if they had to embarrass themselves.

In any case, there are also celebrities such as the celebrity tv chef who tries to do good without caring about money by encouraging everyone to eat more diverse foods and combat his country's hunger problems

I know, I've seen one but don't remember the name.

Well there are also a lot of celebrities acting in dramas.

Do you enjoy dramas?

Yes, I do.

I didn't know Jon Hamm taught drama at his old High School.

I personally enjoy drama because it is a culmination of either comedy and tragedy, both that bring depth to their respective dramas.

Furthermore, celebrities in drama are very interesting.

I actually really love foreign dramas for some reason.

I don't know why.

Did you know that hugh laurie earns 700k per episode of house?

That makes him the highest paid actor in tv drama history

No I didn't.

That is amazing!

and I also didn't know Jim Carey stopped making dramas.

Too bad, he was so funny.

Indeed.

It is too bad his belief that such dramas didn't project positivity and so he no longer makes dramas is a shame.

He had such a talent!

Always made me laugh.

I loved him in The Mask, although I wouldn't qualify that as a drama.

I agree.

In any case, it was pleasant to talk about our mutual interest in Jim Carey.

I hope you also had a nice chat and I hope you have a wonderful day.


Hey there how's it going.

Do you believe in aliens?

Apparently there's a possible UFO sighting during the flight on February 24.

I find it interesting, apparently a pilot saw a UFO over the Arizona desert

There seem to be a lot of UFO sightings over Arizona.

But it's not all clear with the pilot saw.

It's kinda creepy the control center in Albuquerque didn't record anyone passing the plane

Yeah I agree.

Who knows what he saw.

There have also been a lot of sightings in Nevada.

Almost 86% of the land in Nevada is owned by the US government.

Maybe they are experimenting.

Possibly, the US government investigates some of the UFO reports

Yeah I would think that they would.

I wonder if they have found anything?

Sometimes I have a hard time keeping information classified like their plans to destroy WikiLeaks.

I don't know, but the pilot gave a pretty good description of the UFO hovering above his plane

Yeah that is kind of interesting it sounded like he said that there was an aircraft in the front and he reported something passing over him but he didn't get much more specific than that.

Saying it could've been a balloon maybe, maybe not.

The pilot did say the object has a big reflection and doubted it was a balloon

Oh interesting.

And it was troubling several thousand feet above them going in the opposite direction.

Very interesting.

Yea, it's interesting they air control asked it was a Google Ballon.

I didn't know google did that type of stuff, I just thought they stuck to online advertising and search engines

Yeah it seems like Google does a lot more than just work on their search engines.

They also calculate traffic by tracking how fast android devices are moving on the road.

That doesn't sound like Google gets accurate traffic results considering a lot of people don't use android phones

That's a good point.

A lot of people rely on Google.

In to 2013 google went down for about five minutes and took 40% of web traffic with it.

That's a shame.

It's crazy that google tailors it's maps to the claims of each country when there is a disputed border

Yeah that is quite interesting that they do that.

They also hire a lot of goats to trim their lawn instead of hiring people to mow it.

That's kind of funny.

It's pretty funny a company whose search engine requires more computing power than sending a man to the moon would do that

Yeah that's a very good point I'd like to learn more about that.

I wonder what Neil Armstrong and the other 11 astronauts think about that.

Idk, it's pretty crazy though, like the man who was able to sell the Eiffel tower twice

Yeah that must've been a huge accomplishment for him.

I can't even imagine selling it once LOL.

Are use Google so much though I am just happy it was founded back in 1998.

Was nice chatting with you see you later.


do you listen to the radio?

I do quite a bit.
Do you know the band Hanson?

Yes I know some of their songs, do you like them?

I do and one of their songs once became famous because the name of the band was not revealed

wow cool.

You can hear Jupiter's storms in an AM radio channel

Nice.

Do you know the most popular act on a radio was a ventriloquist?

Wow.
Do you ever listen to Canadian radios?

I do not actually.

Do you know who did the voice of the Human Torch on radio in 1970s

I have no idea, who was it.

In Canada radios are required to play 40% canadian music

Wow that is a lot actually.
It was Bill Murray

Nice.

Do you know how soldiers made foxhole radios during WWII?

Hm good questions.
I have no idea.
WHat did they use?

They used razorblades and pencils, pretty creative

WOw nice.

Do you know much about word governments?

I sure do.
Have you heard of wikileaks?

I have but do not know too much about them

Well they published once documents that showed the plan the government had to destroy them

Wow that is impressive.
China has censored the word censorship

Wow that is really ironic.

Dd you know the Government owns 86% of the land in Nevada?

Wow what do they do with all that deserted land?

I have no idea,good point.
It was nice chatting with you.


What's your take on UFOs?

I believe in them for sure!

I do too, have you heard about the recent FAA recording of the moment two pilots reported an unknown object flying overhead?

Yes and Phoenix Air did not respond for comments.

Yeah it's pretty crazy.

I wonder if any of the 86% of the land in Nevada that's owned by the government used to research these UFOs?

The theory is they have an alien vehicle there

That's pretty interesting.

There's probably stuff on Wikileaks about it.

Wikileaks even published the government's plans to destroy Wikileaks.

Area 51 what it it called.
The pentagon has a secret UFO office

I've heard of Area 51.

I haven't heard about the secret office, that's pretty wild.

Yep, The workers there have to park their cars.

Gown into special clothing then take a shuttle a mile to work.

The Government does not tell anyone that!

That's pretty interesting.

Did you know that in 2006, the US passed legislation that would protect government employees from being prosecuted for violating the Geneva Conventions?

Good governments have a balance between tyranny and freedom so that is good.

Yeah I guess it is.

Have you heard about the man in France who impersonated a government official and managed to sell the Eiffel Tower twice?

I like the norweigian government who donated a billion to save the rainforest

That's really sincere of them.

Yes you can Google it.
Do you use Google?

I do, it's my biggest crutch.
I remember when it went down in 2013.
It took 40% of web traffic with it.

I live really close to the Googleplex HQ in Mountainview Ca.

That's cool!

Did you hear about them using hundreds of goats to mow down their grass instead of hiring people?

I live around hills, I see mostly cows but sometimes goats too.

A single search requires more computing power than a trip to the moon!

That's crazy how far technology has come along.

yep, take care and keep your eyes on the skies!

Thanks, have a good night!


Do you believe in UFO's?

i think we would be ignorant if we think we are alone in the universe.

A possible UFO sighting is discussed in audio recorded during a flight on February 24

that's kinda crazy.

there is a Pentagon Operation known as Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program to investigate UFO sightings.

i guess that is more info than we would normally get from the govt.

Way more!!

haha.

Head of Pentagon's secret 'UFO' office sought to make evidence public] Although there has been no confirmation - or even serious suggestions - that the recent incident was related to an unidentified flying object, at least, not the kind portrayed in Hollywood, the U.S. government has investigated sightings over the years.

the object seemed consistent between 2 pilots too.

An American Airlines pilot and a private Learjet pilot both saw the same thing at over 40,000 feet

Yeah the conversation sounds pretty legit.

Jupiter has radio storms so strong that they can be picked up and heard by an AM radio.

crazy.

i think it is funny they ask if a UFO could be a Google baloon that beams inernet to the ground.

Hard to believe Google has only been around since 1998.

Yeah they'll try to feed us anything.

I found this interesting According to canadian law, all radios are required to have at least 40% of the music played be Canadian..

radio waves are cool.

it is amazing how today's engineers can manipulate the phase, frequency, and amplitude to create digital signals and compress more data into them.

Phase shift keying and quadratics are ever evoling.

Technology shows no signs of ever slowing down.

nope.

kinda brings us back to aliens and UFO's.

maybe they showed us some of this technology or we discovered it somewhere along the way?

i guess we'll never know.

i mean who decided to use silicon?

Right!!

Even the the pyramids show signs of more advanced intellectand we still don't no whats going on with electromagnetism.

funny how the govt owns 86% of Nevada.
wonder what is going on there?
lol

I know not to far from area 51.
So many conspiracies.

when there is a disputed border, google Maps uses the border to tailor results to the contry inwhich the search is being conducted.

Things we could have only invested if we knew.

Instead of hiring people to mow the lawns around their headquarters, google once used hundreds of live goats.

i wish i had a thousand extra bucks to throw into google in 1998.  could probably retire by now.

or Apple, or Amazon.

crazy...

Heck i would of settled for getting in good with Metro or Netflix

yeah Netflix is another one.

I like these digital streaming companies now like Roku.

still only at $40 and streaming is still young.

Yeah everything is going to be digital before long.

remains me of a movie i saw with Bruce Willis called surrogates.

nice talking with you.

thanks

have a good one.


hi, do you watch tv?

Yes I do, do you?

yes quite a bit.
i like the simpsons

Did you know, Homer held 188 jobs in the 400 episodes?

that is insane.

and Bart appeared in all but one episode

Crazy!
Do you like shark tank?

actually not that much.
do you like it?

I do, apparently most deals made on shark tank are never enacted.

wow, interesting.
did you ever watch that 70s show?

Yes I loved that show!

apparently they did it verbatim in the UK and nobody watched it

Unbelievable!
Do you like to travel?

I love it, how about you?

Same, did you know Air travel is up to 10% slower than in the 1960s?

wow you would think it gets better each year but i guess not

Agreed that you would think that!
Apparently it is to save on fuel costs.

could be.
have you ever been to japan?

No, but I would love to.
Have you?

I have but did not travel the whole country by car, so saved $300 there

Very smart.
That is what I would probably do.

yeah, they have tolls everywhere.
nice chat


Hi!
Do you travel often?

I like to travel when I can.

I would love to go to Mackinac Island in Michigan.

They banned cars and you must get around by horse drawn carriages or bikes.

Nice.

That is a far cry from the Dutch commuter buses that go 160 mph!

Wow.

That sure is fast.

I would much rather travel on that bus than on Japans highways.

Tolls are so expensive it costs more $300 just to travel across the country.

King Kalakaua of Hawaii is rolling over in his grave at the notion of paying that much just to traverse one tiny Island.

After all, he was the first King to travel around the world, and he probably spent less $!

I am so surprised.

I would have thought it was the King of England with their elite navy.

Well if any King decides to visit Iceland they should have a car.

Iceland has no public rail service so it is either drive or fly to other major towns.

I doubt King Kalakaua passed through Iceland.

I bet hockey is popular in Iceland!

I bet Iceland does love hockey.

I know Canada sure does.

They are the only country in the world with two national sports, lacrosse and hockey.

Good move Canada!

I wonder if that player that was traded for $1, the one who went on to win 4 Stanley Cups, I wonder if he was Canadian?

That must have been so satisfying.

It was Canada that scored 132 goals and only let in 3 at the first Olympic Winter Games in 1924.

I watch all my hockey on the TV.
Have you been to any live games?

I have been to quite a few games.

I know that there is a basketball court over the hockey rink.

Better than making it into a pool table or something...  Yeah, my hockey is confined to a recliner.

Much like when South Park aired it's Family Guy finale.

I considered sending flowers to the producers, but .the Simpsons crew beat me to it!

I really enjoy watching the Simpsons.

Although, I have never seen the episode where Bart neither appears nor is mentioned.

Neither have I. I have watched all three narrators of Thomas the Tank Engine though!

I have too.

I like the Americans and the British enjoy the show equally with having Ringo Starr and Alec Baldwin narrate episodes.

George Carlin was my favorite narrator.

It was just enjoyable seeing the Hippy Dippy Weather guy in a conductor's outfit...

They could have used a 160 mph commuter train on that show!

It is interesting that Americans and Brits both love Thomas the Tank Engine.

They did not feel the same way with That 70s Show.

Canned after 10 episodes?
That is brutal...

I suppose it was too American.

Pokemon, however, that seems to be for everyone.

They have over 750 episodes.

I am on episode 3... See you in 16 years!

Well thanks for chatting.

I learned a lot of fun information today!

I as well.
Enjoy your evening!


do you know much about presidents?

some stuff.

do you know who the wealthiest three in the US are?

Yes that would be Jefferson, JFK and Washington

Yupp.

Do you know what the first president of Zimbabwe was called?

Yes he is called president Banana

Did you know the guest house is larger than the white house?

I guess they get a lot of people there and need the room

Yeah.

Do you know how the VP used to be elected

Yes that was the runner up that moved in that position.

Did you know the president of Indonesia is a pop star?

Yes and he has released three albums already

Yeah.
Did you vote in the last election?

Yes I did.

Did you know astronauts vote from space?

That is cool.

And did you hear where they set up a poll in India for someone to vote?

Yes they set it up in a forest with lots of tigers

Yeah.

In the UK not all men could vote until 1918

I wonder if that had anything to do with status

I wonder too.

IN ALamaba a lot of black  male population cannot vote

I wonder if that has something to do with the felony laws

Maybe that is it.

IN Austin Texas they are busy voting to rename the garbage dump

Yeah, Nice chatting with you


What is your position on gun control?

I think that the requirements to carry guns should be stricter!!

Too often, guns end up in the wrong hands!!

I support stronger background checks...and if a person checks out, they can receive a permit.

I know, it seems like anyone can get a gun now a days, I think its great that people protest together like the one on Broward County, I think that can really inspire change.

Absolutely!!

Civil disobedience is sometimes necessary to having a voice heard and paving the way for change!

Yeah I agree with you, it starts with young people, they are the most affected ones here as they go attend class in fear of getting shot.

Yes!!!

They must be prepared however for reprimanding if they participate!!

A lot of schools see participating in protests as violations of school policies.

That why strengh is in the numbers, after all, you can suspend the whole school for protesting.

Right!!!

LOL!!

When a protest took place at Yale, students were disciplined and given citations... the school also tried them for violating school regulations...

I guess it all boils down to whether the benefits outweigh the risks.

Yeah, I heard a story about students that were afraid but ended up winning, the risk of losing students that had offers from harvard made Yale step down.

Understandedly!!

Walking out is a great way for students to have their voices heard... after all, like you mentioned earlier, school shootings are becoming more prominent and the students are the ones mostly affected by our loose gun laws.

Yeah, no one know the suffering of the families that have lost someone because of the shootings, I wonder when things will change in our country.

Well, gun laws has become a major topic in the U.S. Donald Trump has a lot on his plate as President of the United States!!

Its surprising that JFK, Washington and Jefferson were all wealthier than Trump.

Thats crazy, I thought Trump was the richest one yet, I guess he doesnt have as much as I think.

I think that its a sensible topic as well, not easily adressed.

Indeed!!

Donald Trump's guest house is BIGGER than the White House, though!!

That's quite impressive!

It is!

how big is house then lol, it must be doble the size of the White House then.

I learned something interesting... not all men had the right to vote in the UK until 1918!!

That's pretty interesting!

I didnt know that, Im guessing only the rich and powerful could vote back then.

Maybe!!!

Here in the U.S., 34% of the black males in Alabama have PERMANENTLY lost their right to vote!!!

That's awful!!

Major system fail!!

Yeah it is, they have the right to be heard and that law should be abolished.

Astronauts vote from space!!!
How's that for absentee ballots??
LOL!
!

Lol Im guessing they have more important things to worry about than voting, it was nice chatting to you.


Do you like shoes ?

Not as much as my wife!

I am always fascinated by the new designs though.

It is amazing to think about the fact that 5000 year old shoes preform better than modern shoes.

I wonder in what aspects they outperform today's shoes.

I bet is done on purpose by the companies so you purchase more shoes!

Yeah 500 years ago shoes were made of rock.

I bet they did not ever smell bad.

A good trick to prevent smelly shoes, is to put dry tea bags in them!

Never tries that, but I do like tea, I would not waste it on smelly shoes.

Haha, good point!

Could always do what Steve Smith of the Panthers used to do and just leave your smelly shoes out.

He actually would leave his shoes on the field to promote awareness for the homeless.

Stephon Malbury promoted shoes that retailed for less than 15$.

Not all athletes are snobs.

Yea, that is pretty cool of him.

Speaking of wealth, I am surprised Trump isn't in the top 3 of wealthiest presidents.

I am more surprised that most of them are "old" presidents.

Maybe that's why they were so good, they were so rich that they were incorruptible.

Yup, not like Indonesia where the president there has released 3 pop albums while in office!

The first one was so good that he continued and released 2 mores.

Hilarious.

I do not know if it as wild as Zimbabwe's first president being named President Banana!

Do you think it was his real name ?
Or he choose this name voluntarily ?

Haha, good question.

He had to have chosen it.

I would vote for Banana!

Speaking of which, astronauts cast their votes from space!

Yeah, that is the principle of democracy, everyone gets to vote, even if you are in the middle of the jungle.

Well, sort of.

34% of the black male population in Alabama can no longer vote.

I wonder why, incarceration?

Yeah, if you are convicted, you lose your right to vote, it should not be like that.

In the 2018 midterms, Florida voted to allow former felons to vote.

That is a step in the right direction, like not all men had the right to vote in the UK in 1918.

That is hard to believe.

Almost as hard to believe as Austin, TX passing a vote to name a garbage dump after Fred Durst!

Maybe they should have given their opinion on something more serious like gun control.

I am actually a republican who is against guns.

All you need to do is look at what happened in Broward County last Valentine's Day to realize how terrible guns are.

Yeah, gun are serious responsibilities and should not be available to anyone without any serious reasons  (bears are a serious reason).

Thanks for the conversation.


Hi.
I really enjoy trivia facts.
How about you?

Hi and yes I do too.

Like, did you know that 5000 year old shoes are better than today's shoes?

I wouldn't doubt it.
Some of my shoes barely last a year.
Kind of like a ballerina.

Lol, I hear you there!

They go through like 4 pairs a week and sometimes I feel like I do too.

At least mine last longer than that.

I thought it is nice hat an NFL player leaves his shoes to raise awareness for homelessness.

That is nice.
Which player does that?

Steve Smith.

He is a wide receiver, but I am not sure for which team.

That's really cool of him to do that.

Did you know that shoes can be used for decoration?

I did not.

I also learned today that you can put tea bags in shoes to absorb unpleasant odors.

Fascinating,

That is interesting.

I knew tea bags could be used in gardens but I had no idea they could be used in shoes!

I do know that high heels were originally invented for men.

Interesting, how times change.

I didn't know that!

Do you know why they were invented for men?

I am not sure.

Perhaps to give an appearance of being taller.

Look at images of French kings from the 17th century.

They will wear high heels

I will do that soon.

Experts say that shoe appearance was originally tied to function so you could be right about the looking taller thing.

I bet they cost a lot back then, just like today they can cost hundreds or even thousands for a pair!

I know that's right!

High fashion shoes are said to be made of expensive materials but that is no excuse for the price of some of them.

I agree.

Do you know who Stephon Marbury is?

He promoted shoes that only cost $15, but I am not sure who he is.

No I don't know who he is.

I don't think I've ever heard of him but I like that he promoted $15 shoes.

Me too.
Thanks so much for chatting.

Thanks to you as well.

And be sure and vote when you can.

In the UK even some men couldn't vote up to 1918.

No excuses, astronauts even vote from space.

Yes they do and an Indian votes in a forest of lions.


Hey there, are you a fan of music?

Yes.

2018 was a great year for music.

Outstanding releases in almost all genres.

I wonder if Linkin Parks album is still the best selling?

Sad to think that might be true.

Especially with great performers like Kacey Musgraves around.

There are certainly a lot of new artists, some I havent heard much about Serpentwithfeet but he is supposedly getting into the spotlight.

I haven't heard much of it.

R&B has been around for decades.

Great voices never get old in that style, and Josiah Wise has one.

I will definitely have to check out some of his music then.

I'm an old rocker, and only recently started listening to country.

You should give Kacey Musgraves a listen.

I have always been a fan of rock, really in to the progressive rock/metal stuff like Dream Theater.

So things like the Korean Rappers freestyle "compliment battles" are a bit new to me.

There are many different styles of rap these days.

There is even a deaf rapper who rhymes in sign language.

That is really interesting, I wonder how that works.

I don't know too much about sign language, but I bet that is a really cool thing to see.

Rap is supposed to be authentic, but some of it is overrun with commercialism.

McDonalds once paid rappers every time they mentioned Big Mac.

If I had known that, I would have made some good money.

I could totally rap about a big mac for the right price.

Busta Rhymes voiced the Reptar Wagon in the Rugrats Movie.

Rap has a stylistic history that dates back to West African griot.

Now it expresses just about any thoughts.

It really does, Tupac's music is in the library of congress of cultural significance.

I think a lot of it will be eventually, given its extended history.

It is something kinda innovative and ever changing.

Artists keep coming up with new ideas.

I know.

Rico Nasty even has a psychedelic edge to her raps.

Didn't she win best worst attitude too?

Don't know about that.
She has wild hairstyles, too.

So many seem to, I guess it is with the whole culture.

Its been nice chatting but I must get going.


Hi, do you watch a lot of TV?

Pokemon has you covered if you do, there are over 750 episodes!

Yes I do watch television.
I didn't know this about Pokemon.
Wow!!
!

I guess a UK version of the 70's show was attempted but it was cancelled after 10 episodes.

Cultural difference?

Oh Wow!!!

It was a huge success here in the United States but I'm not sure what went wrong in the UK.

I wonder if they like the Simpsons there"  There is only one episode without Bart.

It's OK with me, my favorite is Homer.

Did you happen to watch that particular episode of the Simpsons without Bart in it?

Not that I recall.

Can you believe that 80% of the Earth's natural forests have been destroyed.

That sounds like a phony environmentalist claim to me.

Yeah!!

I do question that myself.

I'm not sure if this accurate.

Did you know that when the Earth was first formed a day was just 5.5 hours long!!

Wow, that would greatly effect people's pay checks!

Reportedly, we are going to run out of helium by the end of this century.

No balloons!

Ha Ha!!!

I guess no balloons if this is the case.

Its scary to think about it.

We need fusion.

It makes helium like the Sun.

I'm wondering about facts in an article I recently read.

I've always heard the rotation of the Earth is 365.24 days and that about 75% of the Earth is covered in water not 71%.

That is very interesting.

I recently read that the majority of Earth's polar regions are covered in ice.

Yeah, for some reason, i pictured snow.

Funny, the planet Venus has not tilt therefore, no seasons.

It's an endless hellishly hot spring.

So it must be the only planet that rotates clock-wise, right?

Yes and Uranus is the only planet that "rolls" on its side as it orbits the Sun.

Wow!!!

I didn't know this and I'm very surprised that this planet doesn't spin like the other planets and it is within our solar system.

At least we Earthlings don't have 4,500 mph wind with shards of glass in 2000 degree weather.

What planet is that?

I'm guessing Neptune...

I honestly don't know.
Neptune is a very good guess.

Wow, astronomers detected the building blocks of life a mere 455 light-years away.

It's on some planetary system.

There has to be life out there...

I do agree.

I do believe that there is life out there but it will take time to find it.

Yes but the sheer magnitude of the numbers are on life's side.

Thanks for a great chat!

I agree completely with you on this.
Thank you for a great chat as well.
I hope you have a nice night!!
!

Good night.


Hello there, do you know much or are you a fan of jazz music?

I do like Jazz, I think it has a nice melody, what about you?

what kind of music do you like?

I like jazz as well, it's not my favorite but I do like it quite a bit.

Do you know where jazz originated?

No not really, if I had to guess I would say that in the United States, do you know where?

Yeah you are right, it started in New Orleans in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

I see, I wonder why they grew those awefull goatees, they look really out of style

Yeah those do, but I guess they did it for comfort over style, or at least that's what they claim.

I see that makes more sense, did you know that even Pakistan has a jazz orchestra and apparently is really good

No but that sounds really cool, I wonder if they have videos to watch on YouTube?

I bet they had a few video there, so what do you think about scientists?

I think they are really cool and don't get as much attention and credit as they deserve.

How about you?

I share your opinion, the emperor of Japan is a scientist, he has published several papers over the years

That is so cool they have someone so smart in charge of their country.

I agree after all the president is the head of state and is in charge of really important decisions, Harvard scientists are also amazing, did you hear about the GIF experiment?

No, I did not hear about that, what was it all about?

Ok so apparently they were able to store a gif animation inside the dna of a bacteria!

That is wild stuff, it makes me wonder what I will all see in my lifetime.

Wow, so crazy.

I know right, and there more things to come, more discoveries as long as scienties exist.

I agree, and as long as young people continue to get involved, that is the key.

Yeah did you know Harrison Schmitt is the only scientis to set floor and walk in the moon

No, I didn't but that is very interesting.

Well it was nice talking with you today, I hope you have a good day.


do you believe in climate change

I believe the climate is changing but not sure it's man-made.

Although Michael Mann from Penn State said Summer 2018 had extreme weather.

Not sure from what, though.

Do yoU?

I believe that it is man made

what causes you to think that?

there are so many different key diagnostic tools, even an earth 'x-ray' that shows climate change but not WHY it's changing.

The sea level is increasing and the ice keeps melting in the 2 poles of the earth

well ice melted during the ice age and there were no cars or smog or even the industrial age

I see.

But we did not exactly see what caused the melting, could be other earth's disasters that we did not know about

that's very true.

scientists are really trying to develop more tools - sort of like MRI waves but for the earth.

I think that will help with this debate as to what's causing it

I think so.

Do you know that more than 80 % of the earth's natural forests have already been destroyed

I didn't know that.
How sad is that.
Is it from climate change?
or those wildfires and such?

From human activities.
It is so sad

wow I had no idea.

I know they blame heat, drought, wildfires, flooding and stores (hurricanes) all on climate change.

Also, do you know that when the earth was first formed, a day was only 5.5 hours long

I've never heard that before?

Why is it 24 hours now?

Can't be because of sun / night, right?

I know the earth is almost 4x as dense as the sun

I am not so sure, may be due to change in the earth's rotation in relative to the Sun and the Moon

that's interesting.

Did you know you could fit all the planets in between the earth and the moon and still have room left over?

Never heard of that.
It is such a vast space

and the majority of Earth's polar regions are still covered in ice - wonder how climate change will affect the Antarctic and Arctic in the near future?

The areas of these regions will disappear drastically

that's sad.

do you really think so?

I wish we could ensure that won't happen.

Yeah, people have been doing that.

Also, do you know that the earth will be free of helium by the end of the 21st century

no - is that also because of climate change?

how will everything adapt to that?

I have no idea.
I am wondering where will helium go?

this has been so interesting.

I hope we can still try to enjoy our Christmas, even with all this doom and gloom!

Thanks for talking with me!

nice chatting with you

Have a Merry Christmas - you've given me great conversation starters!


Hi Turker, do you believe in climate change?

Yes, I do believe in climate change.
What about you?

Yes I do, something causes so many things such as floods, droughts, heat waves and fire breakouts.

Its scary to think about combining heat and drought to cause wildfires.

Yes you are right, I wonder what causes the wildfires in California every year?

The mixture of reasons causes the fires, similar in Syria.

Did you know that in the year of 2003 more than 30,000 people perished due to heat wave?

Was that in Europe?

Yes I for to mention where, do you think that we as a whole can control these disasters?

I am not sure.
I know the time to act is NOW.

Do you watch TV a lot or are you a video, Internet type of person?

I like to watch TV, especially south park and the simpsons.

I like those shows also but can't seems to have time to watch them, because I am always busy doing something else.

True, have you heard about all the episodes Bart is in?

yes, I think all except one show he didn't appeared in.

Yes, that is crazy!
I wonder what that episode was about.

I am not sure, I used to seeing him in all the show that I saw.

I agree.
Have you ever seen South Park?

Yes South Park is ok, but one thing I don't get why do Kenny died in all the shows, I don't get that part, do you?

I am not sure.

I think it is nice that the producers received flowers from the simpsons crew.

yes he must be doing a good job, did you know there are over 750 episodes of pokemon?

That is 50 a year for 16 years!
I am going to go watch one.
Have a nice day.


I remember when an album was made of plastic.

Now everything is digital, like Linkin Park's, Hybrid Theory, the best selling album of all time.

I don't really know much about Linkin Park.

Are they popular with the kids these days?

You'd have to ask a kid...I'm old enough to be a Grandpa.

But some things get finer with time.

Like The Dark Side of the Moon, released 40 years ago and still one of the best selling album of 2014.

There's something called The Dark Side of Oz.

At a certain point in the movie Wizard of Oz, you can start the soundtrack for Dark Side and it synchs up with the film.

I've never tried it.

Interesting.

An old, old movie that still is interesting.

It's like those two identical twins in Japan who released a rap album at the age of 100.

You caan't make this stuff up!

I wonder what they rapped about.

Arthritis, spoiling your grandkids, ungrateful children, stupid politicians.

All timeless truths of life.

Speaking of rapping and politics, did you know that Tupac Shakur's music is in the library of congress under "cultural significance?"

Tupac.

Some say that the man is still alive and in hiding, maybe together with Elvis.

It's great that rappers like NWA can go platinum without airplay.

It's possible for artists to get recognition without depending on the system.

True.

And rappers are so inventive too.

Like the Korean rappers who inventeda new type of rap called, Compliment Battle.

That Korean rap (K-rap?)

must be a product of their culture.

Respect is important, so I guess they use compliments instead of insults.

Nice.

And even non rappers, like judges, get inventive when rap is involved.

Did you hear about the judge who delivered her ruling in rap when she presided over a case involving the rapper, Eminem.

I bet she was bustin' mad rhymes and spittin' fire yo.

That def justice and dope jurisprudence.

Word.

Serves Emminem anyway, since before he became a rapper he wanted to be a comic book artist.

I bet he wished he had chosen that as a profession as he listened to the judge get all busy with it.

I guess Eminem must be pretty good at drawing.

Creative people find some outlet of expression.

True.

His favorite superhero was Spiderman.

I would have liked to see Emminem in a Spidy costume.

He would be a pretty edgy, urban Spidey.

Not the nerdy type at  all.

I think he could write a good rap for the soundtrack for one of the movie though.

Sure thing.

I wonder if he ever performed in South Africa, the land where it is legal to equip your car with flame throwers as a deterrent to carjacking.

Gives a new meaning to the term, Hot Wheels.

That would be a good street battle too: cars with 'throwers fighting until one explodes.

Good times!

Then you can take your car through a McDonalds drive through--the place where drive through windows were invented--and offer to heat up the fries.

Going through the drive-thru with a flame thrower.

McDonald's fries its burger.

Burger King broils.

Maybe McD's needs the flame.

Music to my ears.
I'm out.


Do you have a favorite album?

I used to.

It was A Night at the Opera by Queen, matched only by A Day at the Races...also by Queen :) You?

Those are both some solid albums, good choices!

I liked hybrid theory by linkin park, I went to a few of their concerts in 2001, they were awesome!

Oh wow, that one takes me back.
I still listen to it, actually.

Nice, sad to hear about their singer.
I like listening to it in my car

Yeah, I was sad when he killed himself.

Never got to see them perform live :/ Do you happen to drive a Caddy or another type of car?

I own a Jeep, but love Cadillac, I think it was named after someone famous

Yeah, a French explorer named Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac.

It's funny, I never really think about where cars get their names from, except like Ford.

that makes sense.
If I remember right he founded Detroit?

Yes!

i have no idea how a person founds a city, though

Right, how do they just claim the land lol.

Do you ever go to Mcdonalds in your car

Actually, I don't drive.

I live in New York City.

Going to take my driver's test any day now at the age on 29 lol

that is awesome!

Mcdonalds invented the drive thru for solders back in the day.

For soldiers?

Did they drive through in their tanks?

Also, what's "back in the day" in this case?

lol, it was 1975 and they did it because soldiers couldn't leave their car in uniform

Why couldn't they leave their cars in uniform?

How did they do anything while on duty?

Maybe it was just in public.

I think things have changed a lot since then lol.

It was nice chatting with you!

Wonder if as soldiers they had flame throwers on/in their cars?

That's illegal in South Africa among civilians, so it's apparently a thing there

Did you know that scientist Harrison schmitt was the only scientist to walk on the moon.

Interesting.

Hi Do you like Jazz music

I do like it, what about you?

Yes i like it is like the America's Classical music

It goes back to the 19th century right?

yes , though it has originated in West African culture it has spread throughout the world

I heard Pakistan has a great jazz orchestra

who would have thought that.

I heard that Jazz trumpeters grew goatees as it provides comfort when playing

Ive always wondered about those goatees, what do you think about that woman in Harlem, the one with the free concerts on sundays

i would love to attend one .

Do you know that President of Indonesia released 3 pop albums while in office

He did?

I bet he had a lot of free time, can you imagine Trump doing the same thing!!

May be he would that do to replace JFK and Washington as the most wealthiest president in History

That could help him reach the rank, maybe he is #4 currently

on the other hand Emperor of Japan Akihito is a scientists and still publishes paper ..

Doing something useful for sure

He must be a really smart emperor, did you hear about the achivement that group of Harvard students made?

yeah heard that they turned bacteria into pendrive and saved data

Yeah they saved the data in a GIF of a galloping horse, impressive

yes for sure.

Only one scientist has stepped on Moon so far .

I thought that always they send scientist to space to conduct experiments

I  thought all of the members of the apolo mission were scientists, but appartenly only one, thanks for the fact

yes some things are weird just like how our presidents guest house is larger than white house

Wow, is ir really bigger, I guess the president has a lot of visitors on the house from time to time.

It was nice chat


Hi!
Do you like Jazz?

I do.

It has been around since the late 19th century in America.

Even Clint Eastwood liked  jazz, and even played the piano.

Really?

Cool!

Jazz great Dizzy Gillespie ran for President in 1964.

He did?
I didnt know that!
That is so awesome.

Yes ,and his cabinet were all other jazz players, too!

Too bad they didnt get elected.
That would be awesome!
I could totally support them.

Me too!

Also In 1964, Louis Armstrong knocked the Beatles off the top of the Billboard Hot 100.

Wow.

These are the facts I wish I had learned in my Jazz History class!

True!

Ella Fitzgerald can sing two notes at once!

That is no joke!

I heard Jazz Trumpeters grew goatees because it provided comfort, I dont know if I agree with that comfort part.

I guess it kept around their mouths from getting sore from their instrument?

With the trumpet the mouthpiece doesnt usually go hat far, and hair could cause airl eaks and prevent a good seal

I don't know enough about trumpets or facial hair to comment.

Haha.

I know a lot more about trumpet than facial hair.

LOL

Have you heard of Walter White?
He has a new jazz album.
I haven't heard of him.

I havent heard of him, but Id be interested to check him out.

His album is called Breaking Good

I hear Pakistan also has a Jazz orchestra that is topping the charts.

Really?

That's fascinating!

Thanks for chatting, I learned a lot about jazz!

Same here!
Have a good night!


Hello - how are you doing this morning?

I'm doing great.
How about you?

I'm doing good too - thanks for asking.

Did you know Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory is the best selling album of the 21st century?

I like Linkin Park and I did not know that about them.

Did you know that after 40 years, the dark side of the moon was still one of the best selling albums in 2014?

Linkin Park is my favorite band.

That's pretty amazing it's still one of the best selling albums after 40 years.

I love Pink Floyd.

Me too.

the classics are the best.

NWA's Straight out of Compton was one of my faves and it was the first album to reach Platinum status without a major tour or any support of airplay.

Wow that's an awesome accomplishment.

Two identical twins from Japan released a rap album when they turned 100 years old.

How cool, rapping grannies.
Do you like Rap music?

I listen to a little bit of rap, but mostly rock and country.

What about you?

I kinda like all genres of music.

I do know that rapper Tupac Shakur's music is in the library of Congress of "cultural significance."

I didn't know that either.

I love Tupac music.

I still listen to some of his stuff today.

He was one of the best, that's for sure.

On a side note, Eminem's true dream was to become a comic book artist.

That's interesting I had no idea he wanted to become a comic book artist.

He's a very talented rapper.

He has multi talents.

Busta Rhymes does too.

He voiced the reptar wagon in the 1998 Rugrats movie.

Oh wow I didn't know that either about Busta Rhymes.

In 2001, a Michigan judge delivered her ruling in rap form when trying a suit filed against Eminem.

That would have been cool to hear that judge rapping.

Do you know the Koreans have invented a new type of freestyle, it's called compliment battle?

Haha never heard of that style of rap before.

I wonder how it sounds?

No telling what that sounds like, I can only imagine.

Do you own a car?

I do own a car.
What about you?

I do.

I hear it's legal in South Africa to mount flamethrowers on your car to prevent carjacking's.

It's been great talking to you!
