I'm an artist, educator, militant anti-theist , and I write. I gamble on just about anything. And I like beer...but I love my wife. This blog contains observations from a funny old man who gets pissed off every once in a while.

*"He does have a decent amount of support, unfortunately. His appeal is rooted in traditional nationalism, the lost "glory" of empire, and a golden age that never really existed.....sound familiar, my fellow Americans?"

I don't want to go through things that don't kill me but make me stronger anymore.


WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT


^^B1^^

I'm going to do that.

They don't do it any worse than me.

I love seeing things I've never seen before and it's a double gift if I see something I've never even thought of before. These are two examples.

Don't knee-jerk your response to this puzzle. 

"I thought the answer was mind-numbingly obvious - until I read the discussion thread at the CountOnceADay subreddit.  And that discussion doesn't even mention the concept of the Reynolds number."

As I recall, I didn't even post that because it was too easy. But then I looked at the faucet. If turned on full blast pressured water would burst out and cause great turbulence in beaker #1. I am now of the opinion that the flow out of the faucet would exceed the leakage out of the thin tube on the side causing beaker #1 to overflow until filling itself first.

In 1856, a 17-year-old girl named Adeline Harris started making a unique quilt.

Over the next two decades, she sent pieces of silk to famous people from around the world and they signed them and sent them back to her. She assembled them into a quilt with a tumbling blocks pattern (aka, the Q*bert pattern). The signatures that Harris was able to acquire are astounding: Harriet Beecher Stowe, Charles Dickens, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Samuel Morse, Alexandre Dumas, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Alexander von Humboldt, Washington Irving, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Oh, and eight US Presidents: Martin Van Buren, John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, and Ulysses S. Grant.
