A computer can't function without an operating system

A total lie usually mentioned in computer textbooks when talking about operating systems. Older computers sometimes do not have an operating system, so this is totally a lie because these computers can still function. Also, even modern computers can make use of the Basic Input Output System (BIOS) to do some basic tasks such as viewing and changing the date.

Cat Distribution System

A nickname for the phenomenon of cats commonly entering the lives of their owners in unexpected or mysterious ways, as if a higher power is “distributing cats” among the populous.
There was a cute tabby under my front porch yesterday and I decided to adopt her! I guess the cat distribution system picked me.

fridgometric system

/ frihjh·ow·mEt-rik ,sih·stuhm /

noun

The FRIDGOMETRIC SYSTEM is a unit of measurement founded to determine a universal and accurate measurement of fun. It is unique in all aspects to previous measurements of fun because it disregards the historical aspects of danger and dollars to just focus on dopamine intensity. the FRIDGOMETRIC SYSTEM succeeded the Gushuez system used in most areas of Southeast Texas.

The evolution of the FRIDGOMETRIC SYSTEM began in the late 20th century, but it has roots in other systems of measurement, namely the that used by the Braniffites. Chief among the experiments using the braniffine system was the testing of Tequila’s impact on gravity and Beach-18s in Falcon Lake, Mexico.

The FRIDGOMETRIC SYSTEM has now become widely accepted because of it’s undeniable accuracy. The only criticism is that it tends to actually under measure the actual fun in anticipation of future fun, which is mathematical corrected by f/2^ec ( where f= 1 fridgometre and ec= 1 dashielogram).

The units of measurement are as follows:

- fridgometre = base unit
- gusometre = 1/13 fridgometre
- chasogram = 4 fridgometres but lacks self-control
- dashielogram = while technically not a unit, it is an exponential factor applied to the fridgometre to amplify/decrease toward the desired outcome

Studies on the impact of the fridgometre on memory and the liver have been dismissed as conspiracy theories by users of the FRIDGOMETRIC SYSTEM.
At our most recent LUNCH Charles forgot our scribe who would record our ideas and rate the experience by fridgometric system standards, so therefore have no idea what was solved.

Ernie put too many dashielograms in the last telling of the tales of the exploits of the Chamonix Crew and how many fridgometres they expended in France.
