The "What's on your mind?" thread

[Scarface32]

Since you seem so keen on doing riddles, here’s one for you to figure out:

I have billions of eyes, yet I live in darkness. I have millions of ears, yet only four lobes. I have no muscle, yet I rule two hemispheres. What am I?

Brain? Wait, the brain has 5 lobes. edit: Now I count 6 lobes. I'm getting a real orphan gears vibe.

The human brain. Riddler gave this question to Batman on an episode of Batman: The Animated Series.

If I change my cell phone number, can my contacts still text me via Messenger?

It should be tied to the phone number, unless you're referring to FB messenger. Which Messenger are you referring to and what type of phone do you have?

I have an Android phone (Samsung). And, yes, I was referring to Facebook messenger. I wanted to put a stop to some pesky texting (via fb messenger) from people I no longer associate with.

I'm not 100% but the wolves that have been hanging round near where I walk may've taken a dog. Today I saw tufts of skin and fur. Not a lot of blood and no carcass. It looked like a type of husky.
Slash has to wear a muzzle on our walks and that would not be good if they confront us.
I never see deer or their tracks and wondered how those two wolves survive. I guess I know now.

While watching Midway last night the wife came downstairs into the kitchen. I get this text from her.

Oh man that sucks... It looks like it's time to gather up some friends for a controlled hunt to get rid of them. Oh wait I just remembered you live in Canada so that may not be an option.

Has anyone ever soil tested an otter?

There should be options to mute, ignore, or block messages for each individual.

I have a couple of friends and co-workers who've hunted wolves. I don't though. I haven't hunted anything since the mid-00's.
I should find the number for Wildlife Control or whatever they call it down here. Maybe they can trap and relocate them.

Womm, I'm glad that I'm figuring stuff out on the Uconnect on my new truck.
I drove for a couple of hours on Friday listening to country music because I couldn't figure out how to change the station. That's all good now thankfully.
I have it linked to my phone and can start her from anywhere there's cell or wifi coverage. That's pretty fricken great!
The security is active now. If ever stolen, it can be tracked down and found.
The tech on these new trucks nowadays is something else. I'm happy with mine so far!

All my life I've been sleeping on beds purchased for me by relatives so yesterday I went out and bought my own bed and I was not ready for the sticker shock. Holy moly. And I had no idea that when you buy a bed, you're only buying the mattress, not the headboard or base. In some cases, you're not even buying the box spring - all that stuff is separate! Thankfully the store I purchased from was having an extended President's Day sale so I managed to walk away with a nice set for $903 delivery, taxes and "haul-away" included. I found out people typically pay upwards of $2,000 for mattresses!?! All my life I've been sleeping on cheap discount beds. I certainly hope this will improve my sleeping habits lol.

I bought a super cheap twin mattress last year. I can't fit a larger sized mattress in my bedroom even if I wanted to, so I stuck with twin. All I had to purchase was the mattress because I had the rest from a family member. Think I paid $90 for the mattress and then went to Walmart recently and bought the nicest mattress topper they had in stock. $150 for a mattress and a nice topper, I can't complain.

Will have to buy a twin but not now but I can't seem to find anything better than a mattress and frame with delivery from Ikea for $235

How come when I drink a lot of alcohol, I’m an alcoholic. But when I drink a lot of Fanta, I’m not fantastic?

[red_5ive]

The Destiny 2 music plays in the background as I stare at the animation of my ship dropping into the Tower, and I ask myself, ""Why am I still playing this f-ing game?!"

As long as you're comfy that's all that matters. My salesman swore that mattress toppers are a waste of money and I kinda see his point but, in my case, I needed a really good mattress to combat back issues. I'm pretty sure all of my back troubles come from sleeping on a mattress that was almost all sunken coils lol.
