Endless Ends

Today:

-Learned a new word! Parterre.
-Read that only 2% of the population has an IQ above 130. (Surely not?)
 
The second is sad, but not news to me. But still kind of depressing, no?
It really is.

I knew 80-120 was considered average range, but I had no idea the the outliers were such a small percentage.

There was a girl in my undergrad classes. She struggled, so much, those last couple of years. Without the support of several people in the study groups she would never have graduated. I thought, quite seriously she simply wasn't that bright, and wondered how she was going to navigate the world.

Her last year she took an IQ test at the school. Her score was 98. Dead average. I was completely taken aback.

Yeah, but was she hot? 😁

Just kidding. Do IQ tests really tell us that much? Is there a common sense IQ test, because I think that’s where humans REALLY fall short. Present company excepted, of course (I mean me 😜).
 
Musk's IQ is allegedly 150+. Doesn't stop him being a cunt.

Just leaving that out there.
Don't . . . it doesn't belong here. He is helping to drain the swamp that Washington DC is, and has long been tolerated by both parties. (p.s. Enny, sorry, but I don't like political comments that are not based upon factual information.)
 
I didnt make a political comment. You chose to interpret it that way. But I will delete my comment.

Alas, she was not your type. 😁

They are definitely limited in what they measure. Geared to cognitive and intellectual skill capacity - at least, that's my understanding.

What are there considered to be these days? Eight types of intelligence? However many, it's certainly not limited to spatial. logic, and linguistics. Surely intelligence is the sum of its parts, rather than a select few.

I don't know.

But I'm afraid to see my score on that one. 🤣

Well, natch. 😁
 
In other news, I've lately become obsessed with seersucker.

(Thank you @Lord Pmann.)

But it would be spectacular during the summer. It's just so hot here. Funnily enough, it's been popping up everywhere I turn lately. As things do once they've stuck in your mind. I even ran across a man's suit in seersucker!

Seersuckerr is everywhere.

FOR MEN

What? Women don't rate lightweight, breathable, cotton fabrics this upcoming season? 🤷‍♀️

Seersucker is beautiful. I actually had on seersucker earlier. And I looked fantastic.

I love the feel of seersucker. A girl in seersucker? Yes please. It’s such a good look.
 
What, no picture? 😝

You don’t seem like a picture kind of girl. I tried to tag you in someone’s pic the other day and you got your knickers in a bunch.

I am enamored of the shape of this dress. It would suit my body type. The color, though, seems a little iffy. So very pastel . . . .

That’s a great dress. Indeed.

But you realize all seersucker is pastel, right? I’ve seen and owned a lot of seersucker. I’ve never seen it in anything but pastel.

Ahem. That was due to the nature of the picture you tagged.

I have zero desire to view stranger's appendages. LIKE, EVER.

My knickers are just now recovering from the near trauma. 🫣

I do. Hence my hesitation. I am weighing the possibilities. 🤔

I didn’t know there was more than one kind. 🤷‍♂️
🤣
 
Today, plans will be finalized on the Pond/No Pond/Possibly a Pond project.

One way or another this segment will be finished up in the next three weeks.

Even if I have to hurt someone. 🤨


Stay tuned. :p
 
Welp. Pond is deferred. Terrain shaping to handle the erosion is up first.

There's what looks like a suitable spot for a pond, presuming the soil check passes. But, that's likely to be tabled for the moment as this is DIY and as the first ever attempt at driving heavy machinery.

No sense in overloading. :p
