“Voters should decide who our primary nominees are, not DNC leadership.” Since when has the DNC not put it’s thumb on the scales in the past few decades, or ignored the voters entirely?

Drink of the Riptide Rush, and be healed!

I like the look, but at $600 per 25lb bag (enough for 1/3 acre) I’ll have to look at other options. I know my local feed and seed sells clover, which is part of the fleur mix, and it wouldn’t be that expensive. My yard really could use another seeding of white clover, which was the only one that did well with our clay soil.

Yes, good science is repeatable and reproducible. Go forth and expand our knowledge.

Worked for a while at a company that created natural flavor extracts. A couple people worked with a client coming up with new flavored alcohols. On Friday afternoons they would make up small mixed drinks for people to try out and get opinions.

Don’t fret about it, things happen. You run a great service for us. A job and a new family already add up to being more than two full-time obligations. Managing Zip along with all that is a lot. Thanks for doing it.

Looks like he’s laying next to a giant Tollhouse cookie.

Campfire, and the smell of woodsmoke on clothing the day after.

It became a short-lived fad back in the mid 90’s when I was in college. The goth and art kids leaving messages on dorm doors using black sticky notes written in silver sharpie marker. Not like we had texting yet.

It looks like they wrote with a silver sharpie on black paper.

The view definitely was really great. Only a small portion of the ruins had been uncovered that tourists like myself could walk through, but from up on the temple you could see an expanse of other buildings poking up out of the jungle. Chichen Itza was a huge city; the view made me wish I could go back in time to walk around to see everything as it had been before the jungle reclaimed it.

I’ve been to the top of this temple, back in the mid 90’s when people were still allowed to go up. Banning climbing was certainly necessary, you could see that all the traffic was eroding the stairs back then. Dangerous descent too. The climb wasn’t bad, but coming back down those steep narrow steps made me take my time. Slipping and tumbling to the bottom could easily be deadly, and I wasn’t looking to become another sacrifice to the gods.

Farts aren’t supposed to be chunky.

Used to use Vent playing Eve Online 19 years ago. Worked great back then. Apparently it’s still around, but still no Linux support after all these years.

That’s what I figured it was when I was a kid. Same letters as the compass rose, information from around the world.

All the pressure built up from the escalating screams echoing inside my skull will make my head explode in a spectacular and messy fashion.

Watched this over the weekend (twice, since my wife fell asleep the first time) and our pup sat to watch it with us. The dog has occasionally noticed things on the TV before, but I’ve never seen her intently watch anything for so long as she did Flow. Mostly silent, with the occasional bark or growl. Wonder why so many pets are fascinated by this film?

If you have an enclosure, I would say try out ASA. Similar to ABS, I’ve found it makes some really nice parts that are tough and UV resistant. Great for things you want to leave outdoors. Otherwise TPU is useful stuff too, and no heated chamber required. I was using it this weekend to print up seals and grommets for a trailer I’m rewiring. It’s nice being able to print up some parts I need rather than making a drive to the hardware store and hoping they’ll have something I can use.

Just put the comics section out of the Sunday paper in a frame for him. He won’t know the difference.

I agree that it’s probably a speed issue. When I first started printing, I was seeing just how fast I could go with PLA and tuning for that. Decided to try out PETG a few months later, and it was a disaster. Layers weren’t bonding properly, and the filament would bridge across points on the print. Once I backed print speed down to 50, I started to get much better results.
