For much better reporting on China, I like laowhy86 and Winston Sterzel. They are both pro-American, speak Mandarin, lived in China, and have Chinese wives. Posted by: San Franpsycho at July 28, 2026 07:21 PM (RIvkX) I watched part of one on ewetub called 'The China Show'. It was interesting, but also felt a bit like propaganda.

Did your AC fail Rev?
My little window units had been going 24/7 for over a week. Last night it actually cooled off earlyish so I was able to go to my normal mode of switching to fans for overnight. (whole house fan, fan mode on the ACs and 4 extra window fans). I don't how the pioneers managed, I guess folks who weren't tough back then didn't live long.

I'm a big fan of Erte jewelry, and right now there are earrings for sale on eBay that are absolutely the wings of that armor! Gorgeous and price-y.
Erte is considered the father of Art Deco, so dating back to the early 1900s. He was Russian but based in Paris, he might well have seen that armor on his travels. Yum. Posted by: Wenda at July 28, 2026 08:04 PM (UDQz0) 53

Posted by: Penguin Liberation Front at July 28, 2026 08:02 PM Perhaps what Ace has learned is that penguin content early in the week results in olfactory overload for days, even with the AoSHQ Café Custodial Engineering Department working massive amounts of overtime to get the mephitic bouquet even slightly under control resulting in a significant (and often sustained) drop in patronage for the rest of the week.

63 Yes, one of our local 2m repeaters is being confounded by traffic from a distant repeater we almost never hear. It's been a good sporadic E season too. I've made my share of 6m contacts, and I've heard lots of station-blanking on FM BCB stations in the car this summer.

NASA renovated an office space to make a daycare. The hot water pump failed so they have no A/C. Apparently, the A/C unit cools the air so much when it dehumidifies that they need hot water to bring the air temp back up.
When we worked there, the air temp was below standards, about 68-70, but no one investigated it until final punch list. Posted by: Accomack at July 28, 2026 08:16 PM (ou30A) 68

Posted by: Molly k. at July 28, 2026 08:11 PM The 'bachelor' penguins who are forced out to the edges of the rookery are known as "hooligans". One of their milder perversions is bringing pebbles to the females who are already partnered with a male. These females will often then sneak off with one of the hooligans for a bit of fun. If caught, their partner 'divorces' them. As I said, this is, perhaps, the mildest perversion the hooligans exhibit. Being a family blog, further discussion is probably not wise.
