There is a four hour utube video by Jenny Nicholson, about her trip to the now defunct DEIsney Galactic Starcruiser hotel. She paid $6066 for a two night stay for the experience, and explains the incredible suck of it.
She has a slightly annoying high pitched voice. The bullshittiness of it is interesting. As a small bonus, her average looking friend appears to have a nice rack, but sadly, I have seen little of her in the first hour.
This video is making the rounds right now, and has over six million views. At least she can get some of her money back via Google ads.

I just heard about it tonight when Valiant Renegade mentioned it. It came out a week ago or so, and it is causing a stir in the financial news, because these financial reporters are imbeciles and are finally starting to wake up to the shittiness that has been DEIsney for the last number of years.
It takes a youtoober, be it something niche, like this, to an investigative type guy, like turtleboy, to shake things up and deliver real news.

May is almost over. Damn, it flew by. The past few days we've had some very nice weather. Dry air blew in from the north, and dew points have been down right 50F and even below, with temps in the mid-70s today.
Tonight, forecast low is 51F, and I usually run a couple or three degrees below, so it might actually dip into the 40s for the first day of June.

I read the post, but it didn't click in my head until I saw the Valliant Renegade blurb about it.
I watched/half-assed listened to the first hour (until the hockey game started), and noticed a couple shots of the narrator's friend, sort of plain looking, but had a nice rack.
So I paid more attention, because bewbs.

Now, I'm not saying that I couldn't have been suckered into paying for a similar experience at Hogwarts, but for 6,000 dollars, it needs to be a real castle, with real props, a real sorting into my house, and real robes in proper colors that I get to take home, a wand that chooses me, that is unique to me, interaction with cast members, and I damn sure better get a few Potions classes with Snape. When Alan Rickman was alive. I would have paid for that, and extra for detention with him.
Disney missed a huge opportunity there. People were willing to pay for it, and Disney should've blown them away, but they blew it instead!

Why do I suspect that a pure NASA launch might use a rocket painted like the degenerate flag (pride flag)? Or it might be purple with pink polka-dots?
Are there paint schemes that would be even worse?

Don't know about the charcoal, but he boasted that the workers on his line could earn enough money to be able to afford the cars they built.
And he even specified the design of the crates used to ship small parts to the plant, so they could be taken apart and used as floorboard in the cars without the need to cut them.

Yes. Kingsford was a VP or some such, and somehow related through marriage. He was tasked/invented/whatever with dealing with the leftover wood scraps generated in the manufacture of the wood side panels.
So, they created charcoal briquets.

Hey, since so few Horde are around, I do have to confess that my day is happier when pretty teenage girls cross my path.
I'm the favorite of a few in my shopping travels. I'm cute, friendly, funny and ask them open ended questions like "What's been the happiest part of ylour week?" And I'm interested...
I'm like that with everyone, I get great service everywhere, but young pretty women get an added 10%
Someone should probably note that pretty young women help sell product...

It's 11:53 and temp is 54.3F and falling. Yep, it's a good bet the low will be below 50F early this morning.
The record low for June 1 at GSP is 40F, set in 1972. That's also the record low for the month of June. We won't touch that. And good thing. Miley's maters wouldn't like that one little bit.
As I type, temp hit 54.1F. That's equal to the low early morning today.

I get no jiggle with Brave either, which I prefer, but installing a VPN is a bit convoluted and I don't like paying online.

Search the "Crosley Icy Ball". It is a batch-cycle ammonia absortion refrigerator that can keep an icebox cool for up to 24 hours. And can make ice! It is a practical do-it-yourself project, and might be useful for a prepper. To regenerate it, you heat the "hot side" ball with a small burner, and chill the cold ball with cold water. It contains anhydrous ammonia and water, and has no moving parts.

80F is the all-time highest low recorded here. It occured on June 29th, 1931.
Now, that is not GSP (Greenville-Spartanburg airport, the authoritative NWS office here). That's from the previous local records that were consolidated with station records.
When my cousion ran GSP NWS, that was one of their projects, consolidated all local records back as far as the could and publishing a single database of data and records.

Not exactly. They use the hydrogen-water-ammonia absorption cycle, and predated the Einstein-Szilard design. All they need to work is a source of heat, and gravity.

I have a book on the history of the wool industry in the Oregon territory, The first attempt to start the industry was stymied because the buyers who took a ship down to California brought back a shipload of castrated males that they bought because they didn't know any better and thought the prices were a steal.
the second, successful attempt they herded them up overland to the Willamette valley,

Pretty well all absorption fridges use anhydrous ammonia as the refrigerant. It's cheap, and thermodynamically efficient. And it's a closed cycle, all the gases are in a network of hermetically-sealed steel pipes and vessels.

I remember seeing a kerosene powered fridge that worked just fine. Servel cycle, powered by an oil lamp under the column. I think the user had to brush soot away from time to time. It was kept on the covered porch of the owner's cabin.
The tragedy that inspired Einstein and Szilard to develop their refrigerator design was caused by a gas-burning Euro fridge (maybe Electrolux?) that had a burner problem, and burned too rich, emitting carbon monoxide into the room as a result. And, given the era, probably ran on "producer gas" which contained plenty of CO from the get-go. You will note that all RV fridges now have their gas burner vented to the exterior of the RV.

The user had to "recharge" the unit by placing the cold ball in a tub of cool water, with a burner under the hot ball. Took about two hours to recharge.

You should see it, Miklos. We got a late start this year so it's still like a blank canvas (in that the seeds are underground and nothing's up yet). But it's all flagged and measured in a mildly OCD way. No mulch cloth between rows yet, except in the tomato section.
The grow light I bought this past winter is awesome. I sowed tomatoes on May 3, and I'm setting them out this weekend. I've got 12 Rutgers 250, 21 San Marzanos, 15 Terra Cottas and 1 Kentucky Beefsteak (I found a seed stuck in the bottom of the packet, and it grew). Also 3 Spoons and 8 little Tiny Tim cherries, but they won't be in the garden.

I'm trying to remember what I knew about N fertilizer and how plants use it. You've got two forms, Ammoniacal, NH4+ ion, and Nitrate, NH4-NO3.
Now, plants can only use N in nitrate form. The ammonium form has to be converted to nitrate, and soil bacteria do that job.
You've got Urea, 46-0-0, as well. That's complicated, but it's Ammoniacal at first.
Say "ammoniacal". The sophisticated way is "amun-nye-ical". The redneck way is a-MOAN-ee-acal".
Liquid nitrogen, what we used to us on grain and side dressing of corn, is UAN solution, about 32-0-0, a mixture of Urea and Ammonium Nitrate in aqueous solution. It was the easiest and most economical for us to use.

True indeed - and willing to self-parody. One of my professors at Ole Miss was driving across the US/Canadian border when that was an easier matter, and the Canadian border authorities asked "Are you an American, sir?"
He deadpanned "Hell no. I'm from Mississippi!" And they waved him through.
Same guy published a journal article with ample anecdotal evidence of the astonishing willingness of non-Southerners to believe anything Southerners told them, no matter how absurd, so long as it played into their preconceived stereotype of the South.

Now, re banjos and guitars. Back in 2018, or 2019, some time before Miley got down here, a local legend and neighbor, "Mr. Andy" died. Mr. Andy was something else, 'shore 'nuff. He and my Daddy held court at a local general store type 'stablishment down the road a piece.
They was both farmers. Mr. Andy had a mouth on him They joked that when he died, "Cannon" (the local funeral home in Ft. Inn, SC) would have to wire his jaw shut to shut him up even then.
Well, he died. I asked his son, at the Receiving of Friends, if they did indeed wire his jaw shut. You might think that was "inappropriate", but the son knew the spirit, and LOL'd. "No, they thought they might, but quieted up there at the last".

First, he was to be buried in a pair of overalls. And the casket was to be a pine box.
That was carried out faithfully. I saw Mr. Andy in his overalls, as I always knew him lying in state. They was brand new, Sunday-go-to-Meetin' overalls, but overalls they were.
Now, at his funeral, he had a guitar picker and a banjo picker a-playin'. Now, they weren't Roy Clark or Buck Trent level, but they were good enough. And yes, they tore it up a time or two, with some real foot-tappin' tunes there at the service.
That was how Mr. Andy wanted to be escorted off this mortal coil. And it was faithfully executed per his wishes. Mr. Andy (pbuh).
I'm sure he and my Daddy are up there having a Big Time now.

Now, Mr. Andy's son was named David, a character to his own self. Now, one time we was all in cahoots on something, straw balin' I think. This would've been late '80s, summer when I was going' to Clempson Cow Collidge.
We were all out in a big field. Now, Daddy and Mr. Andy got to goin' on about we young 'uns, me and David were just spoiled rotten and didn't know what real work was. Hell, they had done all this and that, and we didn't even know.
David got enough of that, and said, "Hell, if it weren't for Mizz Mary-Rose (my Mama) and Mama (his Mama, Miss June), you two would be standin' nekkid out in the road with nothing but a barrel strapped over you!"
That was just funny. Mr. Andy and Daddy looked sort of sheepish at that. They knew it was true.

Congratulations. You are just as stupid and obnoxious as before you graduated. Good luck on being anything else in the future.

I miss general stores and their ambience. The nearest to where I lived had an established set of customs. Coming in to buy something didn't mean you would leave quickly. There was conversation to be had, and you turned up a wooden Coke crate and balanced on it. Dining often occurred - either a Red Neck Cocktail (a bottle of Coke with salted peanuts mixed in with it) or crackers and sardines. Occasionally someone would buy vanilla extract with a wink and a nod (Dry county). There was a relaxed, easy-going atmosphere that I haven't seen many places since then.

At least you had hands., you lucky bastard. When I was a child , we had to harvest the hay naked (because we could only afford one outfit and that was used only on Sundays, when we walked to church through 12 feet of snow..) and we cut it down using our teeth. Then we’d roll it into bales using our noses. BECAUSE WE DISN’T HAVE HANDS!
That was the way it was and we LIKED IT.

Luxury! !2 of us living in a cardboard box in the road. We had to wake up four hours before we went to sleep and had to pay two Confederate dollars for the privilege. Then we rolled down to the cotton field UPHILL both ways, with nothing to garb ourselves except a sense of shame. We'd battle boll weevils all day and then drag their carcasses back to the box for supper!

Oh, yes, they were definitely drinking it. Country store merchants made a sizable part of their sales from it. Folks that might have some moral qualms about dealing with a bootlegger wouldn't hesitate to buy a legal alternative.
The local Shine was not highly regarded - the distillers cut corners, and ended up with contaminated products. In one case I heard, a possum had crawled in and died in the apparatus, and a lot of mason jars full had been made and sold before the Moonshiners found out.
The best Shine, bar none, that I ever drank came from North Carolina - Mississippi just wasn't in their league. If you were willing to deal with the Stateline Mob (see the story of Buford Pusser for reference) you could buy the regular conventional liquor, but that was like dealing with a red neck version of the Mafia, with all of the bad and none of the good.

I have had a shot of vanilla. I doubt 99% of the people out there today could say that. Most people can’t stomach Fernet Branca. They called that the bartender shot because bad ass bartenders will drink it while most won’t. Heh, that is cool aid. Try a shot of bitters, that will make Fernet seem like nothing.
The thing about vanilla extract is even though it is 70% alcohol. It is by law considered non-potable. People with snap benefits can buy it as a food item and I don’t think anyone IDs you though I wouldn’t know because I’m old. The pint is even our government says it’s not an alcoholic beverage. It is a food item, And booze and 99% of the booze you find at the liquor store. But I doubt many people in this day and age drink it, though I know some do as you say.

My MS “graduation” consisted of the principal ordering the eight graders to go home ASAP and to NOT hang around campus via the intercom. Basically “don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.”

Regular examinations are really helpful to detect the earliest signs of eye illness.
There are still extra games for Windows, but the
gap has closed somewhat. Some are more practical than others,
though. What Are The Manual Payment Methods? If you’re not using Shopify Payments
and you need to just accept credit score playing cards, there’s the
option to make use of any of the a hundred third-celebration payment suppliers to do the job.
There’s the choice to simply accept non-automated payments.
Shopify has a constructed-in possibility for that.
Shopify can connect your product catalog with Facebook Shop and Instagram Shopping so your clients can purchase from there without visiting your website (solely within the U.S.).
So unless you’re going for a really refined Seo strategy the place you need management
over the website code, Shopify is more than enough to get these rankings.
