A Linux handbook.

Do you wear glasses or corrective lenses?

No.

What do you think of Llama's mustache?

On a scale of 1 to 5 I would say it's about 4/5 awesome.

What kind of person irritates you like none other?

In theory maybe the kind that tries to sell me stuff, but in practice I'm mostly indifferent towards the kind of people or things that one would expect to irritate me.

Does your toilet paper roll over the top or under, or are you a complete rebel and it sits free of any dispenser? (Ours does, but that is not because we are rebels but because we are lazy, just saying...)

Top.

Can you whistle?

A bit but I'm better at kazoo.

How do you feel about pet birds?

The same way I feel about pet cats. I like them and I'm fine with having them as long as they can fly out the window whenever they want.

Would you...?

No, but I find it a premise worth considering.

Is philosophy dead?

No, it's only hibernating.

Are science and religion incompatible?

Yes and no, but only because modern science is materialistic by default and only attempts to prove theories irrelevant to religion.

Do you believe in objective truth?

Yes, but any expression of it would have to be subjective.

How many lakes are there in Finland?

187 888.

Why do different people have different taste in food? It's not just what you are used to, because members of the same family can have different preferences.

Taste is the sensation produced when a substance in the mouth reacts chemically with receptors of taste buds. On average, people lose half their taste receptors by time they turn 20.

How would you define "music?"

Intentionally arranged series of audio frequencies.

Is that because you don't believe in marriage or because you are too shy to ask?

The government is a necessary evol. I'm perfectly happy paying them to keep my roads fixed and to provide a military to protect my ass from any one who would want to do me harm. I'm not so happy when they think that gives them the right to tell me who I can and cannot love, which god if any I should worship or anything else of the like.

In terms of anarcho-communism it seems that much like the original intent of communism as well as the experiments with the hippie communes in the 60's fail to recognize it's one fundamental problems. As soon as you add actual humans into the mix, they eff it all up.

Prolly like a ML. unfortunately I don't listen to as much music as I used to. I have NPR now and NPR is always on my car radio. TV is usually on when Diggz is home.

I love the flavor of aniseed, licorice and fennel. Not all the time and every day, but I love them when I'm supposed to. Pizzelles are in my top three favorite kinds of cookies

Coldest prolly -20 (that was with wind chill factored in) in Akron while I was in college. The entire university shut down for the day. I went outside and in about 30 seconds I thought my lungs were frozen. Hotest like 118 since I've moved to the desert. It's kinda like baking in an oven when you go outside.

No, but once I was involved in an accident that rolled a car several times. I wasn't hurt or anything, but it felt like I was prolly going to die during the 30 seconds I was bouncing around the interior of the Explorer.

I do believe in fairies!! Oh - wait - you said spooks. Nope. I don't believe in spooks.

Dunno - depends on how much is left after I pay off my student loans, pay off both our car loans, buy us a house. Get 10 more new kittahs and 1 puppy for Diggz. Set up college funds for my nieces and nephews and sock some money away to take care of my parents when they are no longer able to do so themselves. Oh - and pay for grad school so I could get my Library Science degree. And help diggz go to school for whatever he'd want to study.

chaplin.

what do you think of kitty pirates?

If I won the powerball I would base how much I gave everyone on how often they have told me how awesome I am.

Disney is currently lobbying for stricter intellectual property protections, arguing that any use of another person's idea without payment is theft. Given that Disney's empire is built on things iike Snow White, Cinderella, Pinocchio, Peter Pan, Robin Hood, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Sleeping Beauty and countless other ideas they didn't come up with or pay for, what do you think of this argument?
