Google clears the tab’s history if you go to google from another page - it effing pisses me off - the back button ‘greys’ out.
The original King the county was named after was an incredible bigot - I suppose changing who the county was named after was easier than changing the county’s name, sigh
There was a report on Seattle’s KUOW where some of the black women interviewed said that sometimes they can go weeks without seeing another black woman - possibly as a result of gentrification since the Central District was bought out.
There is a fish near Krakatoa that swims upside down holding a leaf to get past fish-eating raptors. Scientists believe that the raptors might eventually notice the fish moving against the current
I noticed the use of ‘wild’ in the story - there are strains of polio virus that are from live-virus vaccines, sigh that do not seem to be reported much
OT: I use one of my microwaves to melt glass into molds - there is a special kiln to do this in. The kiln is coated with iron particles that are agitated by the microwaves until the kiln reaches 1550 F
I used to ask the bartender for the bitterest ale they have then I discovered IBUs (any ale exported to the EU has to have an International Bitterness Unit rating). I used to go for the extremes - I once had an IPA worth 103 IBUs (it was like sucking on a lemon) I am trying to break my bitterness habit and have…
I am really lazy and unable to spend all the time necessary to caramelize onions the ‘normal’ way so I slice the onions into a cast iron pot w/lid and stick it in the oven at 450 F.

The really interesting thing about polishing glass is that what is happening is the polish is creating scratches but so fine that they appear to disappear.
What happened to Fahrenheit 451?
That was back in the day when FM had no advertisers so they could play the long versions of rock songs (innagoddadavida aka in the garden of eden with drum solo, et cetera).
Seattle composts most of its food waste which is a good thing. I remember back in the day when restaurants would save up their grease and food waste to sell to pig farms.
“I haaaaaaaaaate strip clubs (Sorry! Paying women to disrobe has never been my ministry)”
I met people like that when I was in Texas - they were just nasty and got nastier when they drank their rotgut whiskey from a paper bag
Oghmalnutrition - I am a really, really white guy and I could see that they are 2 different people. Wrong glasses, wrong hair, wrong face - just wrongety, wrong, wrong - maybe you should get your eyes checked
NumberMan - so close! try a Corruption of Cops
Owens could not have been dishonorably discharged - the worst would have been bad conduct but that would be highly unlikely since it usually includes 10 or so years hard time. The most likely discharge would have been undesirable but they fired him instead. From worst to best, discharges are dishonorable, bad conduct,…
She is so effing amazing! Every time I see her do her magic, my jaw drops
There is an easy way to set the correct angle for knife honing: with the blade straight up (90 deg), rotate it to half way between perpendicular and horizontal (45 deg) then half again (22.5 deg) which is close enough for honing.
