Cosmoline smells more like “gun” to me than gunpowder.

Yup. I had an infestation thar took months to get rid of. Turns out they were in an old bag of dried peppers.

It’s right there in the word. deci 1/10 mate from matus to remove. It’s like expecting half price to mean 1/3 price. We use deci all the time to mean 1/10 Decileter, decimal, etc.

I know! The best bad movies make you as why did they do that? It’s one thing when you understand what they were going for but failed because of bad effects, no budget, or bad writing.

But seriously why would you have him spend 10 hours shooting at the horse?

Common misuse of words. Decimate means reduce by 1/10 not almost completely destroy. Exponential growth. The variable has to be in the exponent if it’s a constant exponent that is polynomial growth. Gaslighting isn’t just lying. It’s making someone belive that they can’t trust their own memories or experiences so they believe you despite evidence to the contrary.

Looks like the primary reason they don’t want the map is people are worried about the resale value of their home if it’s in an area likely to be buried in a landslide.

Hurricane cleanup. Make Tasso ham. See the Eurooa Clipper launch if it happens Sunday.

The story is a joke. Literally. The version I herd decades ago was a guy keeps buying for everybody but the Jew at a table who ends up owning the bar.

I made one of those once by accident. I was talking a long extension cord that had been cut in two and converting it into two smaller cords. I messed up and attached the male to the wrong cable.

Even that was only worth doing because of special tax rules for when companies are sold.

Except the squats.

My favorite 40k game and my favorite faction.

Honestly Red Hat only has a big grip on the mid to small size business side.

Steam play. I spent nine years with linux as my main work os. Then I’d come home and game on windows. Once Steam play was mature I setup a dual boot to give it shot. I think I booted into windows twice after that.

Warhammer 40k. I know it’s known for having a lot of lore but even knowing that it’s s shocking how much lore there is.

There was a 1983 adaptation of Something Wicked that Bradbury was involved with and liked. Honestly it didn’t do much for me though.

Take that existential dread.

My favorite was the party from the cartoon in the arena.

Did you toast the pits? Or use any almonds? How was the flavor? Any tips?
