My contribution is to label cable ends with labels that tell where the OTHER end of the cable goes. The cable in the printer is obviously attached to the printer, but it should say USB, Left edge to tell where the cable plugs inta on the computer.

Are they neighbors of the “Two Broke Girls” ?

I had a Subaru 1600 in the early ‘80s and loved it. It had the flat four and the finest 5 speed trans ever made. It was front wheel drive, and had low speed oversteer that allowed it to bend around city corners at 20 mph. It also parked extremely well.

The is an epizootic of Dog flu in progress, in the US. No hysteria about cross-infection, as bird flu, yet. 

The trip sequence at the end of “2001" used these techniques. If you read the book, it was supposed to be the event horizon of a black hole. If you did not read the book, it was far out, man.

I live in Ky, which does not have an Ikea, because the population density is too low. I have to drive 90 miles to Cincinnati to shop at one. I always get lost in Cincy, since I am not familiar with the place.

John Wyndham - “Consider her ways”

When I moved here, I got a new cell phone number that was the same as a bank in Memphis Tenn’s credit card processing, with a different area code. If I left my phone on, I would get calls at 2 or 3 am, when the bars and restaurants closed, from some poor schmuck who could not close for the night because the credit…

Excuse please. You cannot take a picture of a black hole because, by definition, no light or other radiation emerges from it. You can take a picture of the region near the black hole, outside the event horizon.

Sorry, it was early, and I got my isotopes mixed up. Read the wikipedia article cited above for a corrected answer.

Lithium 6 is a waste product. Lithium 7 is fissile (not fusible), cracking to tritium plus other, in the neutron flash of the primary fission reaction. as in the Castle “dry” bomb of the 1950's. The fission reaction also contributes significant energy. These fission products are the fuel of the fusion secondary. The…

Only during Lent. On Fridays.

And what are the New US and Chinese policies on Fusion Power ? The energy of the future, that has been 10 years away for 50, 60 years now ? Will we be buying Chinese Mr. Fusion machines in 10 years ?
