Got the smell out?
Posted by: Anna Puma at November 18, 2024 10:29 PM (iU/IZ)
Honestly? I have no idea.
So the good news the smell is a lot less. At one point you could smell the damn thing from 100 feet away. Now I basically got to pop the hood and get my nose over where the poor creature died. Unless the car has been running, in which case you can just stand in front of it with the hood open and catch a whiff.
As for inside? Aaahhhhh...I'm really not sure. I've sprayed all sorts of shit and have got so many striped and bent clips and all I don't even know what I'm smelling anymore.
But it doesn't help things that I have a very dull sense of smell and I've also been congested.
I'm probably gonna go nose blind by this point.

Hah! When I was a wee tad, we had voice-activated dialing. No buttons, no dial, no crank. Just picked up the receiver and wait for the prompt.
"Number, ple-ease."
I would say, "Two Four Six," and be connected to my friend Tom's house. (No idea what our number was.)

You picked up the earpiece, waited for the operator to come on, & gave her (in those days all telephone operators were women) the number you were calling. Either the person would pick up, or the operator would come back on, and say "Busy," or "No answer."
My grandparents had these. The earpiece was connected to the speaker by a chord.

Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.''

It's a good observation. However, I think it might have less to do with the person, and more to do with the precariousness of the position. DNI oversees the cooperation of the intelligence agencies (some of them who have been farming out to contractors who go in and play around with the metadata). They need a stooge in the DNI position. The DOJ is their gatekeeper. No repercussions for wrong doing, or illegality on their side if the DOJ doesn't pursue indictment. Lie before congress, raise funds illegally, pressure your opponent, influence the courts....once you take those abilities away they're naked to blind justice. Kennedy is getting flack due to his willingness to shut down the pharma graft. Dept. of Defense...well, same on the graft.

I agree, Orson. It's useful to remember *why* Tulsi left the Democrats; she was a co-chair for the DNC in 2016. BUT she objected to the Party rigging the primary results to freeze out Bernie and guarantee Hillary the nod. She wasn't a Bernie fan, it's just she believed the process should be fair and open - and she was tossed out of her position, and the Party, because of it.

May have been a private brand manufactured by Magnavox.
Vertical hold was a big problem on many older TV sets. Maybe because the vertical sweep frequency was 60 Hz, but not necessarily in sync with the 60 Hz line power.

They were great reading, and W.E. Johns did his best to keep current with the times. On the day he died, Johns was midway through his last novel, where Biggles retires and meets his replacement. Last I heard, the extant pages had been published. i understand people's desire to see works by their favorite writers to be completed, but to me, the remainder left by Johns lets Biggles remain Biggles, and that's a neat thing.

I remember two very spcific shows on the PBS channel I mentioned above. One was as you mentioned. The other was 'The Prisoner'. I still think that is one of the best short tv series weirdness to have ever aired. I also say Jeremy Brett is the definitive Sherlock Holmes and nobody beats John Thaw as 'Inspector Morse'. Oh, and the original 'Poldark' was a much better production. Livia in 'I Claudius' was a scheming evil bitch, wonderfully played by Sian Phillips .

My high school had PS/2s, but they were mega obsolete by then. Our district first got them when I was in first grade, and I swear they were nearly obsolete then.
Every classroom in my high school also had a Win95 OSR2 machine. (Which were also obsolete at the time.)
I was the silent hero who installed Quake 2 and Half-life on every one of them, hidden in the System32 directory.

Go to the link. Yes, she was absolutely a Sikh, as is her mother. Unfortunately, Sikhs are not immune to honor killings. There was a very sad case in Vancouver, maybe 40-odd years ago. Young Sikh couple, newlyweds, received a wedding present from her estranged father, an electric kettle. She was estranged from her father because he wanted her to marry the son of one his business cronies, and she refused, and married a man she met on her own.
Well, she plugged in the kettle, and the dynamite concealed in its base killed both her and her husband.

Better to be Sandy Koufax than Brett Favre.
Hey, not fair. Seems as if Aaron Rodgers would be the better comparison. Favre was still a top QB until the NFL wanted the Saints in the Super Bowl so allowed the Saints defense to wreck his ankle with penalty worthy late hits. Favre did not want to come back for his last season as he knew his mobility was gone but allowed his Viking teammates to convince him to return, where the loss of his avoidance ability caused him to play badly.

Back in the day, there were two main types of TV tuners. There were "switch tuners" and "turret tuners". The former had a 12-position wafer switch, with maybe six layers of wafers, one for each of the tuned circuits in the tuner's circuitry. They went "click, click" as you turned the knob. The turret tuners had a drum about the size of a soup can, with inset Bakelite strips, each of which contained several coils and capacitors, making up the tuned circuits for each channel. There was also a notched disc with a detent roller. Those tuners made a "clunk, clunk" sound as the knob was turned.

Ours had channel knobs (VHF and UHF) with adjustment "rings" around them for fine tuning.
There was both a "channel 2" and a "channel 4" where we lived, and the Atari 2600 would "broadcast" on either 2 or 3, so we had to set it to 3. But you had to mess with the fine tuning so you wouldn't get ghosting from TV channels 2 or 4 over the top of your game of Missile Command. The tuner drifted a bit with time or temperature or the phase of the moon, or something. I guess it wasn't very high quality, heh.

In my opinion, the first key turning point in the campaign, after Harris was ordained, was K's endorsement of Trump. It came at the absolute nadir of Trump's trajectory. And it broke up the "joy" narrative. Gave the media an irresistible shiny new object.

I’ve stayed up late at the overlook and watched for the Marfa lights, down near the bug bend era. You can stop in a little rise and the topography is such that you can probably look over 30 - 40 miles of desert scrubland. At first you don’t see anything but then - stuff shows up. The one that got me was 2 l that looked like headlights out where there weren’t any roads. Well I figured maybe someone 4 wheeling late at night, or atmospherics bouncing an image in from somewhere else. Watched it for a couple minutes - and then suddenly one of the lights broke right and the other broke left and they took off at 180 degrees to each other.

One of the comments was, and I paraphrase: "Meh, it's just a foldover error, not worth very much" I would tend to agree. Looks like another bill got between the plate and the bill being printed, and some of its wet ink transferred to the blank area. It's a production error, not a design error. Design errors that make it out of the Mint are very rare, indeed.

Those sound most interesting. I will be investigating them. I want something closer to a truck tire and that extra inch is kind of perfect for the roads I drive around on. My RAV4 TRD is not a Jeep but it is remarkably capable. An extra inch is something useful but the heavier rubber is a big win. Thank you.

Not only does he disrupt traffic as people slow down to check it out, sometimes he stands on the side of the road trying to sell this shit. Not only does it cause a traffic jam, but I can guarantee he doesn’t have a permit to sell anything.

In the kitchen picking off the meat from a roasted chicken, all of a sudden there's a loud slamming sound from the front porch. Both dogs jump up and run there, as do I.
It's the screen door, slipped the latch and is banging in the wind. Grab it, pull it shut and head back into the kitchen. In the seconds it took to do that I find the chicken sitting on the dining room floor and Flash, our 16 mth old, running out of the room.
Rinsed it off and was tempted to save some for myself but decided it was cat and dog food. I'm really having trouble with him chewing things up, but I truly did laugh and needed that. It was the absurdity of it all.

With pasta is the little things not whether you made it from scratch and not if the pasta is fresh because 90% of the pasta made in Italy is from dried pasta. It is the little things that matter, Salting the water properly, cooking it Al denté, Etc. We have all had terrible pasta and I promise you 90% of the time it was because they didn’t get the small things right.

The largest retail box of Tannerite comes in the 40 lb. size.
Forty pounds.
I've been 80 yds downrange from when a mere eight pounds was set off in a functionally dead, 100 qt. Igloo cooler.
The blast and heat wave and cooler shrapnel at 80 yards, was epic.
Forty. Pounds. Set up the body in a beach chair over the box. Won't be nothin' but Pink Mist, thereafter. Solves to problem(s) of a post-mortem, a visitation and an urn, all in one pull of a rifle's trigger!

Oregon would have to used about 4,000 lbs. of dynamite, to even approach the ratio of 40 lbs to 200lb. corpse.
Even then, those two tons would've had to have been emplaced into burrowed tunnels beneath the whale. Hence, the "beach chair" placement.
I've shot countless tree stumps with Tannerite charges. One pound, usually suffices. Charge placement is everything there.
Forty pounds, under a beach chair placement. Pink Mist WILL result, and nothing more. Or less.
Experiment one chooses, with a 200 lb. deer carcass.
Oh, and 40 lb. shot. DO expect a feddle response, forthwith.

I hope Trump follows through with sending a lot of the federal government far and wide from Northern Virginia. We asked him to do that last time and he did not. This time he says it is an explicit goal. I have to be honest with you because I lived in this place for a long time, There is still only a small chance. He actually does it in a meaningful way. I want him to do it. He says he’s going to do it but oh my God, Is the resistance going to be strong.
