  1. That confused me. What I call 'fleece' is not what my neck gaiter (Buff) is made of. I wear an N95 when I go inside places, and I usually pull my Buff over that, it looks a lot better. But maybe now that makes me look like I aint doin it right.
  2. Voting for a third party is the same effect as just not voting at all. It isn't a vote against anyone. Yes, in this election, third party means that you are not voting AGAINST Trump but it isnt like you are voting FOR him.
  3. I thought methanol can soak through the skin, I would never want to use it as a topical antiseptic. Isopropanol, OTOH, is fine for that (and not drinkable).
  4. Those look like an airplane to me, with flashing red/green/white lights in a long exposure. The comet looks blue here, that is a nice photo!
  5. I'm kind of disappointed that Robert Murrow lost his runoff, cuz iirc, Mackowiac promised to set himself on fire if Morrow won, and I was hoping to see that.
  6. Did Morrow win the runoff? I did not notice the news on that race.
  7. You only saw a partial solar eclipse, not a total one, or you would not say "huh".
  8. Nice finding photo. I saw it from Austin last night (in Barton Hills) about 9:45 or so. (9:30-10:00 pm was when it was visible.) I did need binoculars to find it. Steps to locate the comet: 1) Find the Big Dipper as in this photo. 2) Trace from where the ladle reaches the cup (the uppermost star in the 4-star cup of the dipper), diagonal across the cup (to the lowest star here), then go about twice as far. Then you have to scan with binocs to find it. In this photo, there are two stars in a line (below the dipper) that sort of point at the comet, I ended up using these to help me keep track of it. Be aware that the position of the comet relative to the Dipper will change over the next week a bit. The comet will be gradually moving left and up, from our evening perspective.
  9. Google Maps tells me that Representative Bill Zedler and S Thompson both have an office at 1100 South Congress in the 04. I do not know anything about them.
  10. There are a couple of state legislator offices listed at 1100 SOUTH, according to my googles. So maybe this is not actually a typo???
  11. Maybe is was one of those Captcha things, you have to pick which squares have an elephant, but the trunk, ears, legs, and all sticks into almost all the squares a little bit.
  12. I confess that I would surely take the same career path if I had the same choice.
  13. What do you mean "you people"???!!! But yes, that is fucking embarrassing.
  14. Hedgehogs fired forward, not to the side, and indeed needed contact to explode. These could be fired before a sonar contact was lost when the ship went over the sub. There were also throwers for normal depth charges that threw them off to the side, I think these were called K-Guns. These were normal depth charges that exploded based on depth/pressure.
  15. FIFY. Mostly this is (probably) because most people have not been exposed, at least enough to make detectable antibodies.
  16. Admit it, you replied just for an excuse to type 'Liverpudlian'. At least, I did.
  17. I'm sorry, but ABSOLUTELY NOTHING is going to come of this. This administration has done uncountably many things that are both true, and handled in the most clumsy way imaginable. With exactly zero consequences. FOX/Rush will get their spin going, and this is not even going to move the needle one iota with his base.
  18. Good percentage of pix with snek with its tongue out. My first rule of snek photos, is they are always better when snek has its forked tongue out.
  19. That is the whole fucking point. These people are utterly loathsome without any qualification.
  20. I have some SaltStick FastChews (electrolyte tablets), I find them at REI, that I eat if I cramp up. I don't get them as bad as it sounds you do, but I do get them sometimes. And tongue cramps suck.
  21. And so this is not miniballer then? Just trying to keep my racist internet trolls straight, so this world doesn't start to seem crazy.
  22. Is miniballer a he? I am confused.
  23. You need to find a bird with snek perched on a cactus someday. Ideally eagle, rattlesnek and prickly pear, but any version would be very cool.
  24. If the package is spelled 'Gilette' that is your first clue...
