WD-40 is more useful in cleaning things than lubricating them. For that Sea Foam Deep Creep is the way to go

Some like their picture taken. You just have to find the right one, like Sugar Bush.

I have been using WD40 to get carpet tape off my hardwood floors. Doesn't work all that well, but was the best advice the interwebz could offer. :(

@ Genesis - From her website: "Sugar Bush Squirrel is a real, live Eastern Gray Squirrel who is owned and photographed by Ms. Kelly Foxton. Rescued, as a baby in her nest, from a tree which was being cut down, she is now living the 'good life' with Kelly in Boca Raton, Florida. A small, lime-green parrot, named Rio, is her big sister and constant companion."

Latin lacks an exact equivalent of the adverb "yes". On the other hand the word sic covers whole phrases in analytical languages, like "That's really the way it is".

Oh.... cute....
A fact that is probably more useful: when I'm learning Latin I have no textbook or anything. I mostly use a homepage that teaches the really basic stuff. Thus, when I want to make long phrases, I must use Google Translate. But as you know, Google Translate is far from flawless, so how do I do?
Well, if there is any doubt (which it often is due to the very complex Latin grammar), I translate from Swedish, English and German to Latin and then back from Latin to these three languages. That way I probably reduce the numbers of errors a bit. I then often Google the translation to see if I can find it anywhere else, to further eliminate grammar mistakes.
The Roman Emperor Claudius (the one that the Brits made a TV series about) had problems with flatulence. His physician told him that "If you don't let out the gas in your stomach not to embarass people, Caesar, your stomach will get hurt".:viking: I particularly like farting in a grocery store or book store and going over to the next aisle to see if I can hear a response from someone obliviously walking into it. :zoinks:
So Claudius actually made a law stipulating that it was alright to fart in public :viking:

Keeping Lettuce Fresh
Years ago, when I was complaining about lettuce going bad
before I could use it, a friend told me to store it in a brown
bag in the refrigerator. It worked! My lettuce lasted for
weeks. Now, if the bag becomes damp, I simply dry it out in
the microwave and go on using it. A head of lettuce has
literally lasted me two months! I have used this method with
both iceberg and romaine lettuce.

PHOTOGRAPH YOUR PARKING JOB. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve “lost” my car in a parking lot. Not any more! I use the camera on my cell phone to photograph where I’m parked, including an elevator name or lot number. Sometimes I’ll snap two or three pictures. And it works every time. I no longer have to remember or write down where I left my car. Denise, Illinois
From me: I take a photos of PA and the PR, straight on, close up with my camera/phone before a trip. That way, if they're lost I have a recent closeup to show police. (Note, not that I anticipate losing PA, but............) So many times we don't carry photos of our family or they're a few years old, different hair style, taken from a distance, etc.

Buk is a Swedish word synonym to the German Bauch=stomach cavity. The Swedish word is strictly scientifically used, though, with one exception, namely the slang word buksvåger. Svåger is Swedish for "brother in law" (actually originally means "sworn brother"). A buksvåger is someone who is otherwise unrelated to you but has fucked the same woman :laugh:Good to know. :thumbup: I already plussed you a little while ago though.
Swedish for "nightcap"=a drink before bed is sängfösare, which means "bedpusher" literally :laugh:
Flatfish, like the (Eur.) plaice, start their lives swimming like 'normal' fish do.. upright, so to say. Then after p/m six weeks the søckers 'turn' 45 degrees, one eye gradually moves to the other side and they're become as we know them.. flatfish. Quite bizarre but true.

Charlotte's Web is a great learning tool for children. Like Dr Seuss White did not believe that long words were too much for children to understand, he did not talk down to his target audience.

I have always inferred that he must have been a wonderful human being to have written such a great book. White died from Alzheimer's Disease on October 1st 1985. :( RIP Mr White. :thumbup: :viking:

The mother of my grandma lived up to 94 years of age. She (they) had a walnut tree in their garden and it's said she ate two walnuts a day.
Um, every time I eat a walnut myself I think of that.. in a sort correlation-wise-way (old age/sharp till the end/walnuts).
But?
I'm allergic to walnuts. Runs in the family. So were my grandparents who died this year at 94 and 95.

I'd still give them an earful.

In German most rivers in Europe are feminine. Exceptions are the Rhine, the Main, the Neckar, the Inn and a few more.
Outside Europe most rivers are masculine, though. A few ones ending with -a are feminine, though.
German grammar was always fascinating in that respect. It's a reasonably logical language but the articles have no discernible logic.

I totally agree. Another example: Schüssel=bowl is feminine. Schlüssel= key is masculine. Doesn't make any sense at all.

think of the shapes. A bowl is round and empty, like a woman and her vagina. A key is strong and shaped like an arrow or penis in general.

The best way to chase away an annoying wasp, is to slowly, non-abruptly push it away from yourself, with your hand.does this work with all flying stingy insects?
Key is slow movement, try to imitate the speed of a branch waving in the wind.
The wasp does not comprehend that you are a living thing, it merely reacts to movements. Quick abrupt movements are typical of predators, such as birds, and will cause the wasp to strike.
Slow movements are typical of plants waving in the wind, and will annoy the wasp, and make it fly to elsewhere.

Scientists identify a specific acoustic signature that drought-stressed trees make.
Imagine you're just polishing off a glass of soda. Whatever liquid left in the straw makes that gurgling sound indicative that there's just nothing left in the glass to drink. Turns out, trees under drought stress make the same sad sound, and a few researchers hope they can use that acoustic signature to identify and save otherwise-doomed trees.
That trees make noise (beyond the delicate rustle of leaves in the wind) is no secret. But teasing out the specific physical phenomena that cause the various arboreal noises has eluded researchers. At the recent meeting of the American Physical Society, scientists from Grenoble University in France presented research that not only were they able to determine that drought-stressed trees make noise, they were also able to show exactly which process created the sound.
To really grok the research, it's helpful to understand how trees transport water. Trees draw ground water up through specialized tubes called xylem, relying on intermolecular forces between water molecules and themselves, and water molecules and the sides of the tubes, to create a single column of unbroken water in each xylem tube. But as groundwater dries up, the trees must pull harder on the remaining water; if the pressure is greater than the strength of the intermolecular forces, the column of water breaks and an air bubble forms. This process is called cavitation. Too many air bubbles can mean death for the tree.
To ensure that these air bubbles were the culprits behind the acoustic signature of drought-parched trees, the researchers mocked up a tree in the lab. They placed a thin piece of pine wood, complete with its xylem intact, into a capsule filled with a gel. As the researchers evaporated the water out of the gel -- a test "drought" -- they simultaneously recorded video and sound of the cavitation in the xylem. The researchers discovered that about half of the sounds made by a tree are due to cavitation, and that the process has its own unique acoustical signature. In the future, the researchers say, forest managers could use a hand-held acoustic device to identify water-stressed trees before permanent damage sets in.

The wovel length in Latin is often the opposite of what you instinctively feel when you yourself have a Germanic language as your native tounge. The first wovel in "super" is short, the first vowel in "villa" is long. The first vowel in "rosa" is short, the first wovel in "lilium" is long. Fortunately the wovel length is usually marked in textbooks for students.i was rock hard. Now I'm limp.

Take the word "villa" for instance. In classical Latin it is pronounced like "weela".
Classical Greek didn't have the "v" pronunciation either. Neither did Proto-Germanic. The consonant v didn't exist in Proto-Indo-European at all.

Given that you have access to cheap potassium chlorate, this is one of the both cheapest and best blue star compositions that you can make without ammonium perchlorate. The well rounded off percentage is actually completely stochiometrical:
Potassium chlorate 60
Copper(II)oxide 10
Parlon 10
Lactose 15
Dextrin 5
What's unusual is that is uses copper(II)oxide with lactose as the organic fuel. Usually you use the more expensive copper oxychloride with lactose. It's also unusual with as little as 10% copper(II)oxide. You rarely use less than 13%. Since copper compounds are expensive, you save money on this.

The Romans only counted hours during daytime. The day had twelve hours, but since they counted from sunrise to sunset, the hours were shorter in the winter and longer in the summer.
In the afternoon it is pretty simple to convert Roman time to modern: you just add six hours. Roman noon was six o'clock. It's more complicated in the morning, but one o'clock is usually between five and seven A.M.

And Jews too.
The hour has a special meaning in Jewish law. "The third hour of the day" doesn't mean 3:00 a.m., or three sixty-minute hours after sunrise. Rather, an hour in halacha is calculated by taking the total time of daylight of a particular day, from sunrise until sunset, and dividing it into twelve equal parts. A halachic hour is thus known as a sha'ah zemanit, or proportional hour, and varies by the season and even by the day.
For example, on a day when the sun rises at 5 a.m. and sets at 7:30 p.m., one sha'ah zemanit, or proportional hour, will be 72.5 minutes long. The third hour of the day will come to a close at 8:37:30 a.m.

Makes total sense, in a time when life after sunset was really dark. A small fire, a bit of an oillamp, life came to a standstill after the sun had set.

I'm sorry about your left kidney, fascinated by the eye! Does the fiber obstruct your vision? :orly:
During the process of eye development this membrane that supplies blood to the lens covers the eye. Everyone starts out with them. Over time the fibers disappear. Normally babies are born without it and if they are it usually disappears over time. Sometimes they form further back in the eye, so they're not obvious. https://www.inkling.com/read/the-developing-human-moore-9th/chapter-18/persistent-pupillary-membrane (https://www.inkling.com/read/the-developing-human-moore-9th/chapter-18/persistent-pupillary-membrane)

Don't be sorry. I have an emergency backup kidney, good old "righty."
I can't see the fiber. I guess it is pretty small, or maybe it is deep in the eye. I'm not sure. I can't find a picture that looks anything like it. This isn't terribly uncommon, but the way mine has formed is really weird. They're usually either kind of webby or just tiny bits that don't connect across. I just have one fiber that connects across it. Normally these fibers disappear in utero, but occasionally some is left.

Rubbing alcohol really does work wonders on ink stains.
Found a beautiful brushed suede type comforter at the thrift shop, unfortunately it was all rolled up and too big to unroll and check every inch of it...so I took a chance with $8.
Got it home to unroll it and find that one huge corner of it was filled with the ballpoint pen artwork of a child. I've had good luck removing small stains, but the magnitude of this "Picasso" really looked hopeless. :zombiefuck:
It is now fresh from the washer/dryer and covering my futon, completely inkless.
Everything that didn't explode spontaneously was considered stable in 1868.
Out of the 36 combinations one can throw with two (common/standard) dices in one go there's a 1 in 6 chance one will throw 7 (the two dices added up). Throwing 12 (or 2 for that matter) has only a 1 in 36 chance. Um, could be helpful when one plays a board game.
Well, if one can shit all colours of the rainbow, why wouldn't throwing up not offer similar creative options?
Wine is a very old Latin loanword in English, which is obvious from the fact that it has the w sound, that disappeared from spoken Latin about after 500 AD by upper class speakers and probably one or two centuries before among simple folk.

Chlorates and perchlorates burn at the hottest temperature along the whole length of the flame in a ratio 83:17 with shellac. Barium chlorate often contains one molecule of crystal water, 5.5% by weight, so to get the optimal ratio you should first heat the barium chlorate carefully in an oven at 120oC to get rid of the crystal water. Then you mix with shellac and moist it with alcohol. The composition makes the most beautiful green Bengal illumination that you have ever seen.

Medical Latin is usually false. Oesophagus for instance is just a latinized form of Greek οἰσοφάγος but not just that: the Romans called the food pipe fistula cibalis, which actually means just "food pipe". οἰσοφάγος on the other hand is a glutination of φέρω + ἔφαγον="I carry"+"I ate".

Swedish person congruens of verbs started to collapse very early. Already on one 1000 year old runestone you can see a verbform in singular, where the person is in plural. One of the first forms to disappear was the 1st person singular present indicative active, æm, that fell together with the 3rd person singular ær. In modern English æm still exists with the spelling am.

Once spring comes, I will dig into these old treasures a bit.
As far as flat response and stuff, remember, these old things were made for what counted as efficiency in their day. Understand that theater amplifiers were in the twenty and thirty watt range in the sixties, using hi-tech at the time, push-pull tube amps. It literally took dozens of them and more dozens of speaker systems to fill a huge theater, all of which was horn loaded.
The flat response thing which we all have come to covet (as in seventies and eighties JBLs had managed, not to mention as close to zero distortion in a radiating unit ever created and yet to be approached by modern standards) was yet to be explored.
Used within a reasonable pass band these drivers are as flat as many modern drivers. Learning to use them will be the key.
Though, it is the nostalgia that I am more interested in exploring.
I own four Altec 511B horns and six 808-8A drivers from the old days as well. That sounds like an A7 or a Model 19 (home version of an A7 style speaker system without the mid bass horn) in my future.
:2thumbsup:
Oh and as you may already know, THX shit is another era.
I want to use these fifteens with my ancient McIntosh power and proprietary horns and drivers, creating a crossover using modern teflon/foil caps and airwound flatwire coils.
In the old days, two-way was the rule! It worked, mostly. It has been too long since I heard one that was truly powerful. Forget both opposite extremes of the spectrum; I want to experience the dynamics of a high res, high efficiency, horn loaded system again.

Nicholas Cage will start filming "Runner" in New Orleans next month. "Runner" won't mark the actor's last trip to town, either. He also owns a 9-foot-tall, pyramid-shaped mausoleum -- emblazoned with the words "Omnia Ab Uno," or "Everything From One" -- in St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, where he plans to be laid to rest.
I may live forever rather than be buried in the same town as him. The only movie I've seen of his that I liked is Guarding (Saving?) Tess, with Shirley McLaine.

The New Orleans Saints have signed Devon Walker to a one day contract. What makes this unique is that Devon just graduated from Tulane with a degree in Cell and Molecular Biology. Oh, yeah. In September 2012, he took a bad hit from a fellow Tulane player and was paralyzed from the neck down. With help from a friend he completed his degree. And now he's a Saint. Devon will continue pursuing his Master's Degree at Tulane.

That's not a real cow. It has only one horn, and it is shitting checkers bricks. There is a strange bump on the back too. Looks more like the offspring of that Notre Dame guy and a unicorn.

Dali created a “cologne” of his very own… although the ingredients he used were boiled water, fish glue, goat manure and aspic oil. This concoction had to gelatinate before he would rub it all over his whole body. When asked why he created soul a foul scent, Dali said that he wanted to create a cologne that smelled like a ram that walked by his house every morning.

My sister majored in Art and claimed that "If you want a picture then take a photo. Artists paint emotions, feelings, etc." BARF. She ended up working as a graphic artist. Karma.She must not have considered photographers as artists. Art is so subjective, tend to appreciate and respect it all. Though am the same way about live performances of any type. It doesn't even have to be something I consider good. Jack is the captivated audience.

In some small defense of my sister, she was in college when she said that. And yes, my sister and I are basically passing acquaintances. I have 2 dear friends I consider my sisters.
It's damn hard to do a proper apology.
It's not "I'm sorry, but (here's why I did it)." That turns the attention to you and nullifies the apology.
And yes, I fight the compulsion to justify myself.
Example proper apologies:
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that."
"I'm sorry. It won't happen again."
"I'm sorry. What can I do to make things right?"
If the other person doesn't accept a proper apology, then that's their choice. But it shows a certain lack of class.

There's more to being Dobsonian, though, not just the mount. The main reflector is supposed to be thin so it isn't actually enough to use the mount.
But if he's dead he probably won't care.
A British physicist, Julian Barbour, suggests that time is simply an illusion.Do you agree with that or find any logic in it? That seems like saying motion, or lack of it, is an illusion, because lack of motion really is an illusion. Makes more sense time is simply relative just like motion, and directly related to speed.

I heard it was because it looked like the Spanish explorer's beards. But that doesn't make too much sense that they'd call it after themselves and not take the indigenous word for it.
Origin of the Common Name,
"Spanish Moss" (http://www.beaufortcountylibrary.org/htdocs-sirsi/spanish.htm)
Native Americans called the plant "tree hair", which name the French explorers turned to "Barbe espagnole" -- "Spanish Beard" -- to insult their bitter rivals in the New World. The Spanish retorted with "Cabello franc�s" ("French hair").
"Spanish Moss", a milder variation of the French taunt, has survived. Another common name is "Graybeard".

In a discovery that could help scientists further understand impulsivity in humans, researchers announced that they found a genetic variant that may contribute to spontaneous violent behavior.
In a new study released in the journal Nature, a multinational research team examined the genes of 96 violent criminal offenders in Finland with behavioral disorders and compared it with DNA from a control group of 96 people in the country who had no such psychiatric diagnoses.
Scientists found that the criminal offenders were three times more likely to have a genetic mutation, known as the HTR2B Q20* mutation than the control group.
The offenders had been diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder or intermittent explosive disorder, all conditions with symptoms of impulsive aggression.
The mutation was found to affect the brain's levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that affects mood, appetite, sleep and impulsive behavior.
"Impulsivity is a normal dimension of behavior, but it also plays a role in many psychiatric disorders, including alcoholism and suicidalism," said Dr. David Goldman, chief of the Laboratory of Neurogenetics at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, in Bethesda, Md., and senior author of the study. "These disorders are often difficult to disentangle at the causal level, but by studying traits, we can find genes that contribute to important aspects of them."
Finland, Diverse Genes But Less Disease
Researchers specifically conducted the study in Finland because of its unique population and medical genetics. Goldman said modern Finns descend from a relatively small number of original settlers, which increased the chance of finding specific genes that influence impulsive behavior.
"Finns have the same degree of genetic diversity as people from other cultures, but their genetic disease diversity is reduced," said Goldman. "Genetic heterogeneity tends to be reduced in Finland because of its unique population, which was founded by two major waves of migration."

"There were two triggers in people with the genetic mutation: the male sex and alcohol," continued Goldman. "Everyone who carried this gene and committed a violent crime was intoxicated, and this is an important interactive factor to note."
Dr. Jason Jerry, a psychiatrist at the Alcohol and Drug Recovery Center at Cleveland Clinic, was struck by the overlap between serotonin levels, alcohol and impulsive behavior.
"This is important to look at because serotonin is one of the main neurotransmitters that have been looked at across the board, from alcoholism to suicide," said Jerry. "And in this study, it wasn't just the variant of the gene. The variant had to be coupled with intoxication."
But doctors note that violent and severely impulsive behavior is never cut and dry. The traits can be attributed to a host of nature and nurture characteristics, unique to each person.
Impulsivity is defined as action without foresight. It is the center point of many psychiatric behaviors including suicide, aggression and alcoholism. Other conditions that feature highly impulsive behavior include kleptomania, pyromania, intermittent explosive disorder and trichotillomania (the compulsion to pull one's own hair out).
While the study's authors noted the correlation between the gene variant and impulsivity, there are approximately more than 100,000 Finns who have this mutation. Just because people carry the genetic variant does not mean that they will act in an impulsive or criminal way.
More than One Genetic Variant
Dr. Igor Galynker, associate chairman of psychiatry at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York, pointed out that, although this specific genetic mutation relates to only people of Finnish descent, other genetic mutations have been found to cause impulsive behavior.
"As most things in behavior, it is a multigenetic thing," said Galynker. "There are likely a lot of genes that relate to impulsivity."
In a 2006 study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers found that a variant of the MAOA gene, found in many Americans, was associated with an increased risk of impulsive aggression in humans. And carriers of the gene who had been abused as children were even more likely to be violent later in life.
DNA & Individualized Medicine
So how can these findings help medicine in the future, especially for those who suffer from severe impulsivity?
While personalized care has become the face of new medicine, Dr. David Beversdorf, a neurologist in the departments of radiology, neurology and psychological sciences at University of Missouri Health Care, said that scientists still must take caution when assuming the identification of genes will result in individualized treatment.
"[It] has been tricky," said Beversdorf. "Some positive findings have been confirmed in follow-up research. However, a large number of studies that showed tremendous promise for identifying a gene that might affect treatment in initial research have not panned out in further studies."
But still, doctors remain hopeful.
Jerry said, "Studies like these can hold the hope and promise of someday directing treatment where we can ask, Is there a way we can intervene from a medical standpoint to decrease impulsive behavior?"
While the study's authors noted the correlation between the gene variant and impulsivity, there are approximately more than 100,000 Finns who have this mutation. Just because people carry the genetic variant does not mean that they will act in an impulsive or criminal way.So then nothing.

Sometimes. It used to always be the case, but then they came up with anonymous viewing and various paid modes so all you'd see was a note saying that someone viewed your profile--you were given a list of possible viewers. And nowadays, they only give you the names of a handful of the people who viewed your profile, because you aren't paying them.
They want to make money off their creation but know that if they remake everything into a paid service, they lose.

Seems like NASA are actively testing proof-of-concept prototype warp-drives (of a variety called an Alcubierre drive, which warps a bubble of space-time around the craft and drive, and then expands space behind it to shoot the vehicle along. Sort of. In that the craft itself experiences no acceleration, it is space and time that are warped, and repositioned to pop the craft off wherever it wants to be. Rather than move the vehicle through space to the destination, it just moves space to position the vehicle at the destination.
That is gonna be SO fucking neat, potentially...if they can get it done on a man-piloted craft, or crewed at least. A week to the nearest star system? just think what that sort of 'speed' could do for solar system exploration. Bugger waiting for years and complicated slingshots around the gravity wells of large planets for unmanned robot probes. Fancy going hunting for alien life on say, triton, then just get in your craft and move the universe so it happens to have the two next together. Then go down there in suitable environment-suits and start drilling through the ice, with sterilized equipment and seeing if we can go facehugger-fishing:D

The two aren't mutually exclusive. boiling pasta wastes a lot of water whereas at least the British are drinking the water they boil.
