much ado about memories?

im always constantly plagued with memories. playing them over and over again in my head. thinking how they could have gone better. im sick to my stomach. i kind of feel like martin sheen in the opening scene of apocalypse now. how can i just be normal and comatose like you other party animal humans.btw earth girls are easy

The craters of the moon indicate perpendicular hits by asteroids. Why is that there are no tangential marks?

The craters of the moon, solid planets and solar system satellites, are perfectly circular indicating that they are the result of head on (perpendicular) impacts with wandering asteroids. Since the gravitational force of those bodies is not infinite, one should expect that tangential encounters are also possible, the kind that would merely glance at the surface and leave in its wake elongated trails on it. Yet it seems that there are no traces of such slanted contacts. Why?

Are the “Doomsdayers” back?

As reported, the Doomsday people have returned! The last time they reared there head was just before the millenium. They ranted and ranted about the coming of their christ and hunkered down reminiscent of the “cold war” fallout shelters. I thought it was funny then and funny now. Oh Jesus, save me! End my earthly suffering and take me home!

A critical question about evolution.?

I’m not a religious person and I generally believe mainstream science, but a question popped into my head tonight and I’d love to hear a person with a science background address it.

The basic theory of evolution I think is that in each group of offspring, occasionally there will be slight mutations causing slight differences: such as wider nostrils or longer thumbs or whatever. The tough laws of survival dictate that animals with superior mutations are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on those mutations — potentially even crowding out their peers in the quest for scarce resources.

If all of this is true, wouldn’t each entire species have to be totally wiped out during each evolutionary change, but for a single surviving strain of superior mutations? I.e., if all the rats in Europe could not see in the dark in 50,000 BC, and then 1 rat mutated slightly better night-vision, how would billions of rats acquire this — they’d have to all die off, replaced by descendants of that one rat with good eyes.

Improbable, but …

Night vision doesn’t just appear … likely it is only slightly improved in each generation, and it would take hundreds or thousands of generations for rat DNA to change from no night vision to full night vision. So wouldn’t the total extermination I mentioned have to be repeated thousands and thousands of times. Like, in every inch of Europe, Asia and Africa all rats would die or be killed by rats with slightly better vision, so that their inferiority could not exist today?

This model does make sense with humans. We can see how in two tribes — one with better weapon-designing brains or fighting skills or whatever — one can eventually wipe the other out. But is evolutionary history made of waves of every-so-slightly superior rodents crossing Eurasia, murdering or crowding out their inferior cousins?

There must be a better explanation than my crude one.

How would I preserve this?

My job consists of working at a Mexican fast food restaurant. Whilst talking amongst co-workers about artistic oddities, I got this crazy idea in my head.
I want to make a hard taco shell into a Christmas ornament.
I know what “ingredients” (artistic supplies) that I want to use for certain things.
However, my question is this…

*************
What would I put FIRSTLY on said taco shell, to preserve it and make it a bit stronger?
*************
-I thought about, lacquers of all sorts, some sort of clear coat or gloss. I’m not for positive though. I want something, that’s not to terribly messy.
I’d appreciate ideas, input, suggestions,…etc.
Thank you.
