Ages ago, I went in to town (Boston) for dim sum with a good friend. Walking around afterward, we wandered into a Chinese grocery store. All the signs were in Chinese - but the items themselves were interesting to look at / smell/ There were a couple of baskets on the floor, and, in retrospect, the Chinese sign just…

I’m happy with Postbox.

I’ve read that they can interbreed with the Southern variety. BTW, if you’re wondering why thy’re all the same color “white” is a corruption of Afrikaans “wide”, referring to the broad snout. 

I think we’re being unfair to centipedes. I accidentally put some in a potted mango tree (added some dirt from outside). They ate all the white scale bugs that were killing the tree. They’re OK by me.

“That’s part of the goal of the legislature,” Quinn said. “They don’t want people choosing this career.”

I’ve seen that, too. It might be (IMO understandable) annoyance at people who ‘cut in line’ - but these were Cubans, who came to the US when Cuban refugees could just move in.

OK, so does bleach water (about 2 gals water with a cap-full of bleach) squeezed through a sponge and then soaked for 10 min or so not sanitize a sponge?

I’m in TJ Max regularly, checking to see what kitchen stuff has appeared in HomeGoods (a section in most of their stores, but there are stand-alone HomeGoods stores). I broke down and got their card because I’m there anyway, and the offer was $10 back for every $100 spent (for the innumerate, that’s 10%). Yes, only…

Long website name. Seems like a thing to do might be to register domains with that same address but with easy typos (like a single s instead of double) - and just redirect to this article, or maybe a youtube search for this vile PoS doing his ‘thing’.

Getting NRATV off Roku is like getting the NRA off the Internet. I’ve looked at creating a Roku channel (for local community TV). You just need to write a Roku app, have some video servers accessible via Internet and content.

I’m moderately OK with this - given that Tom Cotton wants the job and it looks like D45 might offer it to him next. Lack of experience and general nastiness vs proven competence but questionable morality - and the first woman to lead the CIA.

I’m quite impressed with BMW’s telelever system. If you’re in a corner too hot, you can just feather the brakes. Had a G/S in New Zealand for about a month. If you’re coming from a drive-right country to a drive-left, you’re going to find yourself too hot in left turns pretty regularly (road camber - think about it).…

That’s unclear. Some animals produce their own vitamin C. Sailors thought eating those animals (rats) would ward off scurvy. There’s possibly some anecdata at the root of this belief. Possibly interestingly, both glucose and vit C use the same cellular transport mechanism, and if there’s both glucose and C, glucose…

No hate please, I cook on propane (infrared).

Well, if Cohen had created the corporation just for hush money to Trump-exposed women he would have named it Bareback Consulting, not Essential.

Agreed that Trumpism is a pattern we’re stuck with. I think our time of exceptionalism passed at least a century ago.

No, we have a concept of God because we are designed as the only information processors in the universe capable of understanding one one-thousandths of our Unfathomable Creator, who has given us the knowledge and means to defeat our mammalian potentials in order to manifest human love and the peaceful society it…

Indeed. ‘Even paranoids have enemies”.

LastPass makes changing a password dead easy. I’ve already made sure that all sites have different pws, except for my ‘I don’t give a stuff is someone logs in as me’ sites.

It’s been an overload for some while. In a single day, Obama administration (f’ing finally) announced the Russians were f’ing with our election, ‘grab them by the pussy’ video came out and a dump of Podesta emails from Wikileaks. The press all went for the juicy Podesta bits, but it was all there.
