I listened to this song so much when I was a teen with a newspaper route. I still know all the lyrics.

I only learned a few years ago that there’s an uncut “Dirty” version (basically just some swearing).

Same as the above, this right here is what I’d recommend: vinegar. I actually have been adding vinegar for years to my workout laundry, and there’s been no stink. I can’t use anything like softener or detergents that aren’t “free” and “clear” due to skin allergies, so my options are pretty limited otherwise.

We have sonic shower thoughts. Now we have sonic toilet epiphanies!? Awesome!

Absolutely a fair point and I thank you for mentioning it. I hope through our continued evolution, we learn to stop polluting our surroundings.

This is both cool and scary.

A few years ago, I was walking my dog at night just after sunset and looked up as I normally do to star gaze. My eyes caught a glimpse of a fast moving dot moving across the sky. I was getting the ISS reminders at the time and had none for the day, so I opened up Sky Guide and used the gyro feature to identify it. The dot happened to be an old Soviet rocket from the 1950s.

This opened up a different way of thinking about how much we’re tossing into the sky, and if objects are still floating by some 70 years later, what will our sky look like in another 70 with the accelerated launches we have today.

The advancements we’ve made as a human race is amazing, but quite scary at the same time.

Clear is now a TSA “vendor” for the precheck process. The machines they use for the sign up process - at least the airport I was at - don’t have the eye scanning camera in the kiosk.

The Clear representative I was asking questions of had said they don’t require eye scans for Clear, though that is the default. People can ask to use just fingerprints, which he said does disrupt the terminal process as the agents don’t think to ask if fingerprints were what was registered when the eye scans fail.

I am not advocating for Clear. I refuse to use them. I simply do want to call out that they are one of 3 who handle the process for the TSA now. People do have a choice of which of the three to use.

The size and color make me think “black footed yellow sac spider”, a.k.a. Cheiracanthium Inclusum, but those aren’t known to jump. They can be quick runners though.

I’ve had the Eros E3.5s for a few years and they’ve not let me down on quality, especially at the price point.

I also considered those Mackie’s.

I’ve just been enjoying the 84F/29C day and sipping gin & tonics all day. Started with Sipsmith as the gin, but I emptied that bottle and finished with Hendrick’s Flora Adora.

As someone who was influenced to grow and become a better musician because of Dave Grohl: fuck each and every part of you.

It might help to know your region on where you live to help get a better id.

More info and a photo to help you determine for yourself. The eye pattern is often the real tell if it’s a recluse or not: https://mdc.mo.gov/discover-nature/field-guide/brown-recluse-violin-spider

I believe that’s a Brown Recluse. It appears to have the telltale fiddle on its back.

I kind of hope I’m wrong though.

I already canceled them when they decided to alter my already-paid-for subscription by introducing ads. This move will guarantee I’ll never resubscribe.

I was a Radioman in the Navy, and some coworkers and I had gone to see Cider House Rules in the theater.

There’s a scene where they come to inform someone that a plane with a loved one on board had been shot down.

To quote the movie:

When the plane was hit, the crew chief and the radioman jumped close together. The copilot jumped third.

We immediately started laughing when we heard that, because we were told that the Radiomen are some of the last to leave a sinking ship due to needing to destroy the cryptographic material. Hearing that a Radioman was one of the first to bail was too good to us…

I just found their replacement in store. Check out my other comment below.

They’re (kinda) back!! I haven’t tried them yet, but I will.

Dang it lol. I thought it was 100 words or less for some reason. I definitely trimmed too much off my actual recipe.

I threw this together about 25 years ago when I was in the military by just throwing together things I found in the kitchen. Stuck with me since.
