He needs to be able to say that he won on this one, just like he’s claiming to be building ‘the wall’. If he doesn’t need to be building a actual physical wall in order to claim that he’s doing it, and walls are something that people can go and see, he doesn’t need to actually have the data. He can just say ‘yeah,…

I heard ythe charging prosecutors were from the corruption department (which normally dels with public corruption, not child molestation / rape). If that’s true, expect Acosta to be charged.

Hi Heather, that green lamp you remember, with the unpleasantly-bright mantles, ran on benzine, not kerosene. The mantles were interesting, as they had thorium in the threads. When a mantle was first lit, the parts other than thorium would go to ash, making a very fragile skeleton holding the thorium. The thorium…

I’d suggest taking a look at Colin Woodard’s ‘American Nations’.

True on swimmer’s itch, but you have to swallow some water go get cryptosporidium.

If you’ve been lying in court, and the oposition has evidence of that - but you haven’t actually, formally, been charged with perjury - but lost the case - maybe don’t push for an appeal. I’d say ‘duh!’, but this is the Trump administration we’re talking about.

Right, and the green glass does nothing to protect the taste.

I’d roast ‘em the same way I do brussels sprouts (toss with olive oil, kosher salt and cracked pepper, then roast at 425 or so until you start to see bits of char. I haven’t done this, but might make it to go with dinner tonight (I think there are still plenty in the garden).

I cut ‘em up and throw the pieces in my salad. Garlicy, but not like eating raw garlic. Maybe a tad chewier than scallions/green onions (which I also love in my salad) but good.

Finally a reason to look at Yelp - unless they have the wrong contact info as well. Anybody know?

The other use of an extra wifi router is to allow ‘guest’ access. Personally, I leave that one with no wifi security, giving access to the Internet, but not my local LAN. But I’m out in an exurb, the only people within range are people I know.

Looks good! BTW, I am on Pie (v9) and when I opened Play on my phone, this app didn’t show, but when I went in via the web interface, it did show - and indicated that it was compatible with some of my devices - listing the phone running Pie when I checked. So I installed from there.

I’m one of those people that mosquitoes seem to favor over everyone else. I’ve been having good luck with repellents with 20% picaridin. It seems to work on black flies (just tested up Maine through BF season*) and ticks (I live in a deer tick / Lyme disease hazard zone). The stuff comes as both lotion and spray. The…

Where do you see the edge angle?

Depends on the electric sharpener. I’ve been using EdgeCraft / ChefsChoice sharpeners for about 10 years now. I’ve recently switched to their ‘edge select’ model, which can do 15 degrees and 20, as well as hone. I’ve recently re-sharpened a Shun santoku, and it’s now about as sharp as it was when I got it.

One important factor with water bladders: how easy is it to clean? I like the ones that fold over at the top and clip as I can get right in there to clean.

I live in the Boston area. Pizza’s pretty good here, but IMO, New Haven’s got us beat. Pizza in NYC/Brooklyn is a whole different food. Like Sicilian vs Nepolitan dishes. Same name, similar ingredients.

That was the exact reason people thought WWI was ‘impossible’. Have a look at Clark’s ‘The Sleepwalkers or Tuchman’s ‘The Proud Tower’ for loads more detail.

Your supermarket may be somewhat to blame for the sprouts. They often re-stock at night, and the potatoes are left under bright lights until the next shopping day.

If a candidate takes money from Susan B. Anthony...
