    TRWTF is that pronounciation in the english language is so sloppy that you can exchange all the vowels in a word and still get something that sounds mostly like the original.

    What? 'Pee-niss' and 'py-nuss' don't sound anything alike.

    Yes but how come PENis and PEN don't sound the same.

    Because one is long and the other is short (pun most certainly intended). Vowel length is used in several languages, not just English.

    They are, and the child destroying it would be an excellent example of that so I'd hope the monks did see it like that even if the event organisers may have got a little upset that their pretty mandala is gone.

    When you're a monk you can spend ages making these things. For us normal people though it can be a hard idea to apply at times. Enjoy it in the now - don't hang on to it.

    These solar charged things only work for about six months of the year here in Alta, Norway. In the summer it's sun all the time so they never come on and in winter there's no sun at all so they don't get charged.

    What a waste.

    In the summer, you could put a basket over them 12 hours a day, and in the winter you could shine a 500W halogen light on them for 12 hours a day.

    Vern G. wins the WTF award for idiots that can't understand simple sentences. And people that think the solar panel thing is a WTF are F'd Up.

    Clearly it is letting you know that these lights use a battery that is charged by the sun. Dumba$$es

    Solar panel charges the battery day and night

    Technically, yes... day: sun shines on solar panel, charging battery normally night: light comes on, shining on the solar panel, returning an infinitesimal amount of energy to the battery

    In other news, I've just invented an infinite energy source: Shine a bright light on two solar panels. Use the first to run the light, and the second to generate power. Now we just have to invent impossibly efficient light bulbs and solar panels...

    Erm... we actually have 24hrs/day sun in the summer in northern Sweden... (and I guess on other places up north...)

    But part from that it was fun :D

    It's clearly a unary negative, to describe the amount of the discount ... you wouldn't know if it was positive or negative without any unary operator ... duh.

    We were in lower Manhattan, waiting for the comedy club to open. Wandering around, we found a Buddhist store.

    As I was looking at some stickers for one that would look nifty on my scooter, a young Buddhist came up and explained to me that what I was holding was a mandala. He explained how they would spend days creating them, and then wash them away. "This demonstrates the non-permanence of life," he said.

    Thinking about how I could later tell my buddies about how I one-upped a Buddhit, I answered, "Then, I should buy two!"

    "You could buy a thousand."

    yeah

    Addendum 2022-11-23 08:10: I advise everyone to take a look at solar panels and systems because they are currently a highly significant and relevant topic for everyone. Because without it, neither the present nor the future would exist. I discovered this site these . A huge variety of various solar systems, so the decision is not as challenging as it first appears. View it and make your own judgment. Good fortune.
