Is it a maintenance thing? Clearing the lines of any debris/silt and ensuring the valves operate correctly? You ever see that clip of them clearing the muck out of these lines in a dam. Impressive...

Yes he had to leave town with his family. People say it was bc he retired but we know why...

Along with most corvids...i had a pal who shot a crow in his backyard. In the city. Every crow in the area circled his house for the afternoon while he hid out in his basement

What did you do to get their attention? And (sinister ALERT) what are their intentions.....?

When I retired 5 yrs ago, I made a batch of pot brownies. Not being familiar with edibles, my spousal unit and I ate one or two LARGE pieces over the limit. Eventually led me to say no one has died from brownie overdose and let's continue to watch these latenite infomercials until we come down.

Scientists create ‘Superwood’ that’s stronger than steel | CNN A US company has engineered a new type of wood that it says has up to 10 times the strength-to-weight ratio of steel, while also being up to six times lighter.

A larger carbon footprint than wood but still a 90% smaller footprint than steel. And the process works on almost 20 different plant species they've tested so far including bamboo.

Insurance rates up $2000.

Food benefits cut off.

Farmers unable to sell their crops.

Skyrocketing national debt.

$40 billion to Argentina.

America First!

Thank you for posting! I love this band

What an absolute hell hole

But are they cheaper?

THAMES mnemonic for reading science: T Theory •What BIG IDEA is the focus? H Hypothesis •What SMALLER IDEA is actually getting tested? A Assumptions & Alternatives •What needs to be true to connect T:H? •What else could explain results/predictions? M Methods: Measures & Manipulations •Were methodological tools validated? •Evidence that we’re measuring/manip what’s claimed? E Evidence & Ethics •Are claims calibrated to EVIDENCE? Is EVIDENCE appropriate? •ETHICALLY sound in practice/intent/implication/application? S Sampling Statistical Model •Who was studied? Who are claims about? •Do stat results match verbal ideas?

Teaching a fun science & critical thinking course this semester.

Trying out THAMES as a handy mnemonic for what to look for in evaluating science papers & such (obvs not all are as relevant for every paper)...

bingo

When you buy him mittens for his trip to Canada, make sure to attach the long piece of yarn to BOTH of the mittens. There's only so much room in the lost mitten box....

Also we have TimTams here, fyi

Are you gathering his tears to sell on Etsy?

also, Happy Monday!

I listened to Taylor Swift's last album (I was 58 at the time) and mentioned this to my daughter.

She asked me if I was ok.

3 months in the burn unit and I'm actually ok now....

Ask me about my MIL's Betty Crocker Cook Book (70's edition) that on the outside cover has a burn mark in the spiral shape of an electric range burner (I'm guessing the range was avocado in colour of course but it could have been harvest gold as well).

I have a picture somewhere...

You've probably heard this interweb story about acronyms and older folks. Well my BIL just filled us in on a texting tidbit about my FIL.

hey Matt, my good friend and neighbour passed away this week, lol

And of course after, there was a discussion about LOL not exactly meaning "lots of love"

Posting this to help get the word out that Reuters is beating American "news" sources on their own dirty laundry.

Like seriously, don't you feel disgusted by this on ALL the levels?

perfect

Ahem, i believe you meant an "act of God"

That is a great album cover

Anti-Antifa = PROFA

I'm trademarking this, so don't get any ideas

If you want anything, take Pro pho (I love me a good broth and noodles)

But what is the green condiment? I strangely fear it...

Can't quite wrap my brain around "far left = conservative republicans"

seems like crossing the streams in Ghostbusters: you really shouldn't do it, lol

What's a conservative leftist? Asking for a friend...

(oh wait, we used to have a Progressive Conservative party in Canada when I was a child. Seems way too old-timey for these days where our right parties seem to all be tinfoil conspiracy theorists)
