Do they still make the ones you warm up in water and push in to custom fit your ears? I knew someone who had one like that and it was apparently quite comfortable.

So if you are in Ohio, you can marry kids but not lock them in a room. It’s an oddly placed line, but it’s at least a line.

Nope. Acid Spray.

The dark mirror to the old line, ‘those who care don’t matter, and those who matter don’t care.’

Kame-homo-haaaaaaaaaa!

The cotton candy machine operator might be about to lose his job, but we’re having a great time.

Two guys in overly complicated clothing fighting over who’s the daddy? What is this, Thursday night at the BDSM club?

Muslims always put a great deal of importance on the will of Allah. Islam is inherently a religion. They all seem to have this fascination with this Mohammed fella too. I’m just calling it like I see it.

Have you ever heard the phrase ‘walled garden?’ Apple makes their products to work very well together and with anyone else’s products they work in a way that is intentionally functional, so they can’t be said to be actually blocking interoperability, but mediocre, so you’ll get a better experience with their products.

I suspect the influencer type wouldn’t know there was more than one kind of can opener. The well-off influencer lifestyle is a consumer lifestyle, paying others to handle work. The person they pay to make the food probably knows all about it, but their focus is on how best to make shocked faces for thumbnails.

Not totally sure what you mean. What effect does the strata outside the pipe have on whether the pipe itself is in flux? Or are you describing a pipe carrying water vapor?

I would say it depends on whether the flow is part of the carrier or not. A conductor carrying a flow of electricity is in a state of flux as the electricity that moves through it is part of it. A pipe carrying a flow of water would not because the flow is not part of it, merely limited by it.

It is… until you factor in the news media’s need for heat/drama/controversy.

You’re still doing jars? Why not order from the manufacturer and get an IBC for over your bed?

I’ve always enjoyed it on honeyed brown rice cakes. There’s something to be said for the textural contrast of crispy vs unctuous.
