He liked the Buddhists - "The food was better." - but he and my daughter wound up solid atheist. My girl is a little more into the mystical part of eastern beliefs than I would prefer, but both are solid, and it was their decisions all the way - minus any indoctrination from me or their mother at all.

@Freedompath I hope you're right, but the Republican efforts at oversight or enforcing accountability so far have been uninspiring, to say the least.

If you could learn one thing that you don't know yet, what would it be?

DerekD comments on Aug 21, 2018:

high-level calculus, or advanced aerospace design

zeuser replies on Aug 21, 2018:

I eked out "c's" in my three calculus courses in college, the only "c's" I ever earned. And they were 4 credit courses too. I stopped short of differential equations. I had only a passing familiarity with the concepts, but I learned how to get computers to run optimizations for me, and that's how I learned APL.

I want to learn how to speak and read Polish. I've been meaning to start looking at online stuff but have not yet gotten around to it, so thanks for the reminder.

Mountain, with Leslie West killing the guitar, 1971-ish. McCartney's Wings over America tour, I wanna say like 1975 or early 76, lots of fireworks and great musicianship. Old Crow Medicine Show, warming up for John Prine, just tore that shit all up, 2014 I think. I saw Paul Simon last year, and he ...

@Martie1965 He just put out a new album, his first in several years, called "The Tree of Forgiveness" with a dozen or so absolute gems. Well worth your time to find and download or buy the CD. I've seen him in concert many times over the decades, and he never ever disappoints.

@Freedompath I was happy to see that too. I doubt it does anything at all to rehabilitate this loathsome administration, but it's great to get some pushback out there for people to see.

Why are so many people pleased at other people's misfortune?

zeuser comments on Aug 15, 2018:

If someone spends a lot of time and effort degrading you and debasing you and trying to insult and minimize you, it's a little natural to feel a little guilty glee when that individual steps into a pile of poop. That's a more specific version of scenario 1, where you enjoy someone's misfortune ...

What is your favorite breakfast cereal?

patchoullijulie comments on Aug 12, 2018:

Bobs's Red Mill Oat Bran. I mix it (cooked) with coconut manna (butter), apple fiber and sometimes I put a drizzle of molasses over the top with a small scoop of sour cream. Delicious ??

zeuser replies on Aug 12, 2018:

@patchoullijulie Brown sugar is just sugar with some molasses mixed in, so you should get the full effect.

I like Bob's Red Mill Oat bran too. I just sugar it up with brown sugar, use a couple of pats of butter, a little salt on the top, and a little ramekin of blueberries.

Gotta love Miss Manners.

On dating sites, everyone says they like long walks on the beach.

zeuser comments on Aug 11, 2018:

I ignore the beach walkers. I focus on the ones who admit they like to drink wine. Everything else falls into place after that. Having said that, I like walking the beach at night when you can induce bioluminesence by stomping on the sand. 8-)

What is your favorite movie?

KKGator comments on Aug 8, 2018:

The Godfather 1&2. I don't care if it's two movies. I always watch them together, so it's one.

zeuser replies on Aug 8, 2018:

I just re-watched those with my son, who never saw them. A lot of the tropes in subsequent gangster movies and shows started with GF 1 and 2, and they look a little dated since we are accustomed to the derivatives, but they largely hold up quite well.
