I don't know I can't think of anything
Well what don't *I* know about you?
HAha hello
Hi :) It's not happening a third time
HEy I have a fun Idea
What's that?
Let's plan out a good society Like one that had everything we want in it ha has
Okay sure, you start
And we can brainstorm what needs to go into it
So i can catch the vision
I think it needs to be far from central powers, have self determination, the rule of law, and a virtuous people What do you think?
And if we get bored of that I googled a list of fun questions to ask so I can ask you fun questions Okay great Sounds like you've got taht covered
I came up with all that on my own I have it a lot of thought to condense it down to those things
I'm still in class so if that was a reference to what we just talked about in lab Yeah I m sure Way to sum it up
Haha Kind of, more just a reference to American Heritage in general Did your TA bring cookies?
Well maybe I need to study cause I don't think I could have listed that off No :( did yours?
Yes
Lucky
He did an object lesson The one with salty cookies
Did he auction them off
And one sweet one or something
Oh great Were they Were there enough yummy ones for everyone
HAha no but I thought he would because it was right after talking about the doughnut auction He had 4 people come up and he had 4 cookies and they were all salty but one it wasn't a terribly relevent object lesson
That's lame
He just used it to say "you need the right ingredients"
He could have at least brought yummy cookies too, since he went to the effort Well he could have just said that
And then he said what are the right ingredients for a good society
Haha
Haha yea
Ok I have a question for you
But he actually did have real cookies for everyone and they were yummy Ok ask away Is is: "What would happen if two computers started talking to eachother"
No
Because that is a very good wuiestions Oh ok ask away then
Whew I just got cold called in class that was a lil stressful Because I have not been listening
Oh no
and I do not intend to
Do you need to quit Maybe this is not worth it
Well actually he asked the whole back row, but he said my name, but someone else answered the question luckily
Maybe I just call it a day and enjoy a day without stress
No it's ok
And try again after 2 weeks
I think you should try
No I'm serious
What's he at? Is he still going up?
But my only hope is that he has to stop Hes Wer both increasing by about the same amound amount
Well he can't go all day
Except I'm a tinsy bit faster it looks like
And you have an open day after this right?
I plan to I have lin al and then yes hypothetically
You've already put so much work into this I think it's worth it to stick with it
Yeah but I can put work in again And it's also about stress and what I really want in life Like, do I want 600 or do I want to read the scriptures You know what I mean?
But wouldn't it be better to give it your best shot this time around, instead of resolving to give it your best shot NEXT time Well I mean yeah
I guess If I quit now I'd wait till another round goes by
But for just one day of stress and time consumingness, it seems worth it
Cause next round is yours right?
Why? Just to take a break?
Yeah that too So I don't burn out and I can come out strong next time I just need a HUGE lead
No, you have first dibs since you were doing this first. I can take 3rd round
IT's stressful to try and win when I'm SO CLOSE And I don't have a definite end time
I think it'll be harder though, since more people will know about it
It doesn't really give me anything to shoot for Maybe But If I do the same thing again and edge out the competition
But the end is so close
I would totally offer him 100 to let me win this time But I don't know who he is That's not unethical is it?
If you try today and lose, then you know you did your best, and I think that's better than waiting til next round
It's just supply and demand. It gives him the opportunity to make 700 instead of 600 Ok I guess that's true
I don't think so. If he agrees to it
That's my thinking I'd agree to it if he offered my 100 to try again next round Maybe 200 idk
I like how you're thinking of the ipad as money Well, if you get paired with someone who doesn't say anything again, then you know I think the researchers want us to talk about real stuff
But then it's a guarantee of 400 or 500 for me and a guarantee of 100 or 200 for them and the option of a lot more
Yeah
Haha yeah they probably do
I think that's very reasonable
Ok let's have real conversation
Okay
Oops I got carried away
I never asked my question, but I liked the original question, actually The prompt I mean
Sorry, researchers, the rest of this conversation will be normal and rich I swear What was it?
Yeah sorry researchers. You guys are great, go chatbots
Computers talking?
No no What's something your best friend doesn't know about you
Go chatbots as long as they're not chatting here haha Oh, that's why you like it I don't know. I have to think a lot more I got a plantar wart on my foot senior year Did you know that
Haha no
Really? It was horrible
I don't think so I'm trying to remember if there's any way I would have known that
It hurt a ton whenever my foot had pressure on it ANd it hurt to run
How long was it for?
I thought it was a heat blister from cross country
Was it during XC season? that's the worst
Most of the first semster Yeah When I realized it wasn't going away I saw the doctor and he said it was a plantar wart Which just means that it's a wart on your plantar which is the bottom of your foot
I feel like you might have told me something about getting a wart removed one time But no I do not think I knew that
The bad part of that is that since the wart is always being pressed against the ground, it grows inwards kinda And it can get really big
Ouch
So the doctor tried to freeze it which is what they normally do with warts They use a little knife to carve out the calice
I've gotten warts on my hands frozen before a few years ago
And then they use liquid nitrogen to freeze the tissue that's growing into the wart Yeah Like that But it was bad enough that that didn't work
That sounds ouchy
So I had to go in again And he carved out the calice, and then shot a strong numbing agent up my foot And it stung like heck when it went in But then my foot was numb And then he dug it out He literally carved a hole in my foot
Yeah he did that to my hand one time
And as he went he used an electric cauterizer to cauterize it
Yeah exactly
I didn't know that
With a little spoon thing to scoop it out after its burnt
How big was the hole when he finished?
It was before I was really friends with you I dunno, small-pea sized? Or smaller
Mine was nearly an inch wide That's still not fun
Ouch
IT didn't hurt but it was a giant crater and it was weird It was kind of surreal to see a significant crater in my self Like I woulda thought that that deep down I woulda hit bone But the whole chunk came back
Yeah and it made it hard to use my thumb for a long time and I still don't have as much feeling in that one spot as in the surrounding skin
And my foot is whole now Really?
I'm glad your foot grew back
THat's interesting Hahaha My foot never had much feeling there so I didn't notice a difrerence difference
Was it all better by track season?
Yeah I think so It felt better in like a week
That's good
It healed fast, but then it took longer for the crater to heal
Well now I know something about you that I didn't know before
Ok what is something I don't know about you? I guess your wart counts I didn't know that
Hmm yeah I feel like I could think of something better though, I dunno
Ok well keep thinking
Ok. In the meantime,
Do you want to do would you rather questions? Would you rather do would yourather questions or not? Haha I'm so meta
If you designed a tree house what would it have We've kind of talked about this before
Ooh yeah we have but I love tree houses
That was the question I was gonna ask
An observatory I think I said that
Right, right,
Haha really?
With a big map on the floor, right?
Yeah It would have a reading room in the center One with not a ton of windows if at all
It was on the list of questions I googled
So that the walls can be lined with books THat's funny
But then how do you have light?
I thought of it myself I'm so cool Ok, skylights But not windows
Okay that's good Unless the tree is too dense
And it would have a winding staricase in the corner that leads to smaller reading nook at the top of a tower on top of the reading room
You're gaining on him, by the way Oh I like that
I know I texted you that
How do you get up to the treehouse?
My hands are tired
Oh I just saw that Haha
You jump
Small tree I guess
Haha No I always assumed there's a rope ladder
Okay that's good
And then all the different rooms are connected with ewok bridges
Is it like an ewok village with bridges between trees? Oh okay yes Glad we're on the same page here
Why do I even explain my design
:)
Haha What else would you add?
Where do you sleep? Do you have food storage up there?
Ooh, I had a cool idea for a version of this that's like a big family reunion place And it has one area that's bordered by a boardwalk But the middle is a giant hole
Do you have to come all the way down from the tree to go to the bathroom or do you have a system for that
And there's a safety net And you just jump And land in the net No there's bathrooms and a kitchen and stuff And bedrooms
And that's how you get down from the tree?
All of that It's like a treehouse resort No, it's just for fun, and then you climb out of the net onto the boardwalk
Oh fun
Maybe there's trapeezes and stuff over it
Sounds scary
Like a foam pit
That would be awesome
But scarier becasue there's no foam I think so Maybe two nets just in case
The holes in the net have to be small enough that you cant get caught and twist your ankle Ok well tell me what's in your kitchen
And near the kitche, there would be an outdoor gathering place Good point I was literally going there
Okay I'll just let you talk
Well, there's this circular gathering place Haha no don't do that
Ok ok well keep going
It has a fire pit in the middle And benches on the outside And there's a grill along the outside for bbqs
Just don't burn the tree down
And there's a retractable umbrella roof Yeah good point There's a lot of fire extinguishers
Haha okay good
This whole thing goes accross a whole little forest of trees. Maybe it has to have a few support columns of its own I don't know
Okay, sure
Anyways, that circular gathering place is wher people can go for dinner and singing and stuff like that
Maybe there's a lake nearby, and you can have a nifty pump system with filtration built in
Ook yeah nice Windmill powered ooh I meant ooh
Forests aren't very windy but yeah okay I like ook better
Ok a nearby windmill On a nearby hill
Solar power maybe? Okay yeah that works
Yeah, solar too While we're at it, it also has nuclear, coal, and natural gas
Hahahaha
Just to cover all out bases
You will never be powerless
And candles Just in case I actually had a more realistic idea like this Like an actual building project for when I'm a grown up boy
I would love to hear that
Well, it's not exactly a treehouse
Tree platform?
It's like a kind benjamin tower OPr a watch tower Or
Nice, okay,
It's got three telephone poles supporting it
Kind benjamin
MY brother, obviously
I mean, he was
His tower HAha
He is kind too
King benjamin
When you say HAha it sounds like you are laughing especially heartily
haHA ANywys
Oh man
Anyways Don't judge my weak and tired hands
On behalf of the researchers I would like to ask you to not make the chatbot say dumb typos
Maybe this is all training to have us work as customer support
Oh great My dream job
THe people who chat on the other side of a website like for microsoft Can I put this on my resume?
Yeah except those are all getting replaced by chatbots, haven't you heard?
THat would not be a bad job Haha yeah that's the ironic thing
Haha that's Ben's job Up at the U
Really?
He works for Microsoft customer support
Hahaha is he sassy with the customers
On the chat thing. And sometimes phone calls
Oh man I want to hear recordings
No but he has a gay coworker and he is sassy with him I am sure he is very professional
What Is that what he said Why what does that mena
Yeah
mean
Because he's Ben and he flirts with everyone
pfft ben is weird
And he likes to pretend to be gay sometimes even though he is very straight
Oh ben Never change Actually do
He said his job is mostly just talking to old ladies who don't know how to use computers
You'd be better if you changed I don't see him as being very good at that
And so would I, and so would you
Yes but he needs it more I'm casting the beam out of his eye
Hmm
This is what the bible say's right
Uh huh
Cast the beam out of thy neighbors eye before worrying about the mote in your eye Basicall care more about others than youself yourself
Speaking of the bible, the book of mormon goes hand in hand with the bible
WHat makes you say that
And in the book of mormon there's a story about a king He was a very kind king And he had this tall tower
Also, we're not supposed to talk about relision-specific stuff HAha oh ok
Much like the one you were telling me about
So yeah youve got your 3 telephone poles
See how I brought us back to that
All angled SLIGHTLY in towards eachother Very good
Okay
Speaking of that tower, the man's name who built it... What was it? Benjamin? I know some bens
Hahaha
One of them is at the U HAha ok For the record I like Ben and I'm sorry if I'm too harsh on him but also I think he cold use his potential better but also he's cool and I think he has a good ehart
I agree with all those things I think I have a better opinion of him than you but that is okay
Hey, I have to go to class I'll see if I can re-pair with you once I'm there Later?
Ok cool. Good luck building that tower Later!
