SCRAP BOX TOO UPDATE
I'm getting close to assembly. The spar varnish ought to kick it up a notch - they look a little drab now.
There are six panels; two each for the front and back, and one for each end. Because almost all of the wood was found on the side of the road the width and thicknesses vary greatly. For that reason, every piece had to be individually measured and cut.
THINGS I DIDN'T KNOW YESTERDAY
The reason it's so easy to break your collarbone is because it is designed to break. The way it was explained to me is that it is like a circuit breaker. It breaks there to stop the shock of impact from getting to your spine.
I did not know they did that but I do know there are several honeymoon stories in there someplace.
In theory, humans could breathe a liquid if it was supersaturated with oxygen. It wouldn't be easy because the density of a liquid is so much higher than air so after 15 mins or so you would be too fatigued to continue breathing. The hardest part is getting all the liquid out of the lungs so the person doesn't get pneumonia.
You can grow a new human being faster than most missing toenails can grow back.
Some women can feel the exact moment an egg is released from the ovary during ovulation. Feels like a little pop just on one side.

SO MANY QUESTIONS
Do you think they did this on purpose to draw more attention to the sign?
Do you think this ad designer knew exactly what he was doing?
I do.
So, was this planned?
I haven't a clue.
Car on Flooded Road
What kind of tires must that thing have?
With even a chance of a flood wouldn't you think they would move to a parking garage or a nearby hill?
I suggested many, many years ago that they film lectures and make them assessable to the students for review. Now they do that, but why did it take so long?
Do you remember these?
I remember printing a 300-page novel and then having to rip off the guide holes and separate the pages. I did like the whirring sound it made though.
The title of this was:
"A cool butterfly... Oh, wait.”
I still don't know what it is.
I kind of understand that. Raindrops can be rather cold.
Is he smoking or blowing a horn?
How did the neighbors put up with the stench?
Gas Pump Hack
Several comments from the site that I found said it was untrue. I'm going to guess that it's true on some pumps. I mean why would anyone lie on the internet?

How the hell does she keep them from fighting over the food?
Maybe she made those weiners out of the dogs who fought.
Grabbed it on a bet. It grabbed back.

worry that they are always watching you.

A fly swatter, but for close talkers.
I woke up with an almighty hangover to the sound of my neighbor mowing his lawn at 8am. He’ll have to mow around me, I’m not moving.

Have we lost our fucking minds?
I had one guy comment that America was now being run by a bunch of communists. He said this KNOWING that half our wealth is controlled by a dozen or so people...hardly a Marxist tenet.
Did you notice the solar panel...or at least I think it's a solar panel?

In this case, it's okay to kink shame.
I'm going to bet he is in the shoe business.

“In the climate that we’re in right now, where you have a president that is caging up our children and separating us in this way, I think to use this book ... is not doing the African-American community any justice at all,” Assembly member Verlina Reynolds-Jackson argued.
But that argument does a grave injustice to our teachers, who should be trusted to lead discussions of these topics in an informed and sensitive way. And they can’t do that if they’re hamstrung by petty elected officials, who imagine that they can insulate our young people from the painful issues that surround all of us.
That’s a fantasy, of course, and it’s shared by censors on both sides of the political aisle. It’s too easy to mock the conservatives out in Alaska. It’s a lot harder to look in the mirror, and to ask whether we liberals might be imitating them.
They would be wrong though, most mass shootings are committed by black people, the media just focusses on the white guys.

We've seen that research, I've posted it here before. They only count 'terrorist' like shootings and omit gang shootings.
Dear Researcher,
Can we separate the death of innocents from that of gang bangers? I could imagine going back to Prohibition and describing Italians as mass murderers.
But I think we all know what's going on here. The slaughter of rival gang bang members is a far cry from that of school children. And you know I don't mean the deaths from stray shots, etc.
I condemn everything gang bangers do, but we can not excuse ourselves of the responsibility to save our children because of them.
RH
Then be specific and call them school shootings. You also get workplace shootings, club shootings, mall shootings etc etc. They are all mass shootings though!
Dear "School Shooting" Anons,
Thank you. You have given me much to think about.

Benign: that skate park is at Venice Beach, California. It's mesmerizing watching some of the skaters there.
E5: I don't think that was a solar panel. It looks a lot more like one of those fold up bed springs that you might pull out of the closet for a guest.
