Yes.

No.

Yes.

Cool. Do I just ask if I can have a copy of it?

Yeah probably. Particularly if they have an all digital setup, getting a copy will be easy because they can print it off a computer. If it is the old fashioned X-Ray photographic plate negatives, I don't know, but it could still be done.

I have copies of the CT scan of my thyroid tumor. They use X-rays for that but it is all digital. It's worth asking about.

Heard quite a good quote today, apparently its a saying from Portugal. Paraphasing heavily, it is: "too much humility is vanity". Now in my experiance - that is quite true. When people do something commendable and they reply with "oh it's nothing" - its actually a bit grating.

Anybody else feel like this? Or am I being a bit uptight?

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Eh, depends on the culture I guess. Some cultures require humility like that. Sure it's false humility, I guess, but if it's the only non-rude thing to do in your culture, you do it.

OTOH, yeah the average bloke can just be falsely humble. Don't really see it as a problem though, IMO.

Some people are easily embarrassed. Or actually may feel like they didn't do too much. I would say that have to come out and actively campaign about how humble they are before it starts to be annoying, to me at least.

^hahahaha 'actively campaign'

I AM THE HUMBLEST OF THEM ALL

 

[Farm Boy]

^hahahaha 'actively campaign'

It happens.

I've seen people get a lot of just praise and its literally impossible for them not to believe they are a superstar. I just think their humility is insincere and it's a mirage, their supposed "humility" is just a mask to decieve the world. I think thats quite common.

They might suffer from a mental disorder or a minority complex, so that might not be really voluntary.

Why does Wikipedia not have a page on stellar habitability? Seriously, it's a no-brainer, there should be a page on a star's ability or potential to host life-bearing planets, focusing on the star itself.

And don't eff'in tell me to google it, I already eff'in did, with no luck.

What would you need to have/be/say etc to get yourself onto an international flight if you left your passport behind? Is there a level of celebrity that's gonna get you out of Heathrow and into New York? Could you bribe your way on? You get the gist.

Big, international airports have immigration officials, I would talk to them.

Lol. Cheers but I'm right as rain. Just wondering out of curiosity. I was just wondering if say, Tiger Woods for instance, after arriving at the first class check in suddenly realized he'd left his passport behind with no possibility of getting in time for take off, is he any chance of getting on.
