    Filling station: Where Americans put petrol in their cars.
    Keep quiet, click off safety on the 1911.

    A watering hole is a bar, a filling station or gas station is where you buy beer for the drive home.

    I know an old car wash that converted to a drive through liquor store, and you grabbed what you wanted off the shelves without getting out of your car. They were talking about installing bulletproof glass.

    You really want the beer to be cold, but in a drive through its always hit and miss.

    Yeah, its easier for them to keep it stocked too because the cashier just shoves more through the back of the fridge.

    The cops already know their beer is often hot. These guys get paid at least minimum wage to hand over what money isn't in the safe to anyone holding a gun. So long as nobody gets killed too often, how often the cops look into such things depends on your zip code. They get paid for making arrests, and that's a no brainer for a cop. Next you'll be suggesting cops are the answer to pizza delivery drivers being shot more often then they are. Lady Justice may be legally blind, but she never forgot how to count all her change.

    Well I work at the filling station on the interstate
    Pumping gasoline and counting out of state plates
    They ask me how far into Memphis son and where's the nearest beer
    And they don't even know that there's a town around here
    Nahhhhh

    I live in downtown Seattle and this year we had two idiots try to rob a 7/11 right across from the federal building as if they assumed they were invisible or something and could just disappear around the corner. Real criminals will tell you its actually about weighing the odds, and not running down the street waving a gun in the air. One of these two died because they were so stupid and desperate they didn't know when to give up. They might as well have tried to rob one of the nearby banks.
     
  16. Which all goes to show that 42 is as near to an answer as we're gonna get.

    The thing is, people assume 42 being as good as any other answer, is not an answer in itself.
     
  18. What I'm confused about is how you think computers are on the verge of completing a theory of everything, yet also that 42 is as good an answer as we're gonna get.

    Is this 42 the same 42 from Douglas Adams' "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy"?

    Classical logic and physics inevitably fall apart, either leading to three stooges slapstick, glaring contradictions, or becoming outrageously inefficient or, in the case of the visible world around us, describing only a tiny fraction of what is even visible. For computers, classical logic and physics are a complete disaster for crunching larger numbers. The human species would be extinct if our brains actually relied on classical logic and physics because they are way too inefficient. Mr Spock would have been as slow on the draw as a lizard in cold weather and would make more logic errors because his neurons could not organize efficiently.

    I know it might sound bizarre, but the question is not how does the irrational make sense, but how does logic fall apart demonstrably in real world applications. Hence, the computers need merely have roughly the same capacity as the human brain to shuffle all the pieces of the puzzle according to a well established multifractal equation. The specific equation appears to be the Golden Ratio, or pi, which has turned out to be a multidimensional equation and not completely random. The issue you could say is just how complex any mathematics are that we can measure in the world around us, and not vice versa.
