Flashlight batteries may fail you after sitting for a few years. You might try hanging a Cyalume Light Stick next to the service box, instead. They last a long time in their Mylar envelopes.

He looks like he survived a Russian dioxin poisoning.

Yeah. “Bibimbap”, a Korean dish, was listed for the 1970s

Are you a baby? (Or, maybe I’m just old)

Well, at least you didn’t have:

1961

Wow! That’s the first time I’d seen one of these. I assume that the tile is not backed up by concrete backer board, but communicates directly with the void space.

We lived in Los Alamos, NM for a while. The buildings there, all having been built around WWII and shortly after, were standardized to government specs. All of the medicine cabinets had the razor slot in them.

According to the NY Times:
“White House officials say they can only hope he refrains from discussing classified information when he is on them….They said they had further confidence he was not spilling secrets because he rarely digs into the details of the intelligence he is shown and is not well versed in the…

Were I inclined to give Trump even one iota of mercy, I might agree with you. But the NY Times article was itself concerned with voice conversations that Trump has over his unsecured phone.

Sounds like the “Brooks Brothers Brigade” that tried to intimidate election workers and a judge, to prevent the Florida vote recount for Al Gore vs. GW Bush.

Such a policy may ultimately be short-sighted. By discouraging people from visiting the emergency room with symptoms that might not be ‘emergent’ enough, some portion of subscribers will not be examined, diagnosed, and treated for a serious condition, whose early symptoms may appear to be insignificant.

While the Knights of Columbus may have limited itself to Catholic men, the real question is whether they also promoted discrimination in the public square, the marketplace, public schools, or in civic participation.

I use KeePass, which uses a local database. It takes a bit of extra management for me to keep the few copies of this file current on different devices, but that’s not been a real problem.

“Projection” implies no such thing. It is an act done by one party against another, but has nothing really to do with the second party. Instead, it is a projection of a characteristic of the accusing party onto the other party.

Aah, OK. You are correct. The construction of the sentence is illogical.

Perhaps this was an attempt to show a parallel with Polio, whose nickname was “infantile paralysis”?

I knew these things were everywhere!
