Takes me back to Ice Storm ‘96 and many, many blown transformers. Arc flashes lit up the sky all across town through the entire night. We received around 1 inch of freezing rain.

Pretty cool video showing a huge range of trees from the tiniest to most gargantuan (a species which I had not heard of til now). Guessing the 0.1 m grass image is included for scale:

Tree Size...

A real man not only shirks lathering but also uses 8/8 or larger blades honed only up to 1k, so this guy is a total effing poser!

:)

Right, near identically bland garbage available for a low, low price in a supremely familiar, cookie-cutter setting. Act now!

Did I cover everything? :p

Eff that. It's gonna take more than...

Yes...pastries and most likely excellent coffee/espresso to wash them down. I did not see one single tip-off that the place was owned by McDonald's.

Now that is an architectural makeover I can...

Does anyone notice anything peculiar about this McDonald's besides the extraordinary architecture?

Once again, I find internet argumentation supremely pointless. My only use of a personal phone call at work was related to medical appointments or family emergencies. It's not as if I felt my...

Sure, the 1970's heralded the computer age, ever-increasing factory automation, etc., but the wages actually fell for a few decades before taking a dead-cat bounce or two. To me, the data shows...

Minor correction: worker productivity steadily rises each year in the US; unfortunately, rises in effective pay for us peasants went flat some 50 years ago.

Skin lotion? I was initially guessing Ivory hand soap similar to Jerry.

:hmmm:

The phrase "sh!t ton" has been a staple of mine as the term captures a whole load of nasty ugliness.

However, I'm usually reminding myself to qualify them as "metric sh!t tons" just so no one's...

Only mammal capable of flight and the whole echolocation deal could have something to do with the crazy...sleeping upside-down certainly doesn't hurt either.

Like OMG, that girl is literally a bat-sh!t crazy knucklehead!

My soon to be 20-yo daughter is sure to get a laugh out of that video, Roy!

Her slightly older sister left for California a few...

Sorry, I so completely neglected Roy’s mastodon factor. I recall him showing off his flip phone once before but didn’t notice the form factor in the crappy pic. ;)

Android's Phone sub-program allows you to send ALL non-contact callers directly to your VM, Roy. Open the Phone app. Go to Call Settings -> Call Restrictions (near bottom) --> Incoming. I set...

Man, Hirlau, that's the epitome of cruel and unusual punishment for deviant children! You might have even turned up items they didn't even know that they had.

:p

Baiting hooks with live copperheads instead of worms? That is someone going for some seriously bad-a$$ fish!

Eastwood does make some great movies, Roy. And, it's all because he treats his actors like horses. Who knew? ;)

Lethal combo of sweet, salt, and fat. It indeed belongs in the meth/crack category of snacks. ;)

Reminds of the saying, "That's not food; that's what food eats."

Possibly cut back on the caffeine intake. :needcoffee:

I honestly don't mind (or understand) Uzi commas, but at least he doesn't throw down Uzi exclamation points!!!! A grammar Nazi friend often reminds me one is sufficient (and he's typically correct...

I got a poster and $136 (after taxes) for my 20 years of service. Did you get anything "special" too? ;)

Work is extremely boring. Our brilliant executive management decided to off-shore product development of our project to Bangalore, India with promises to move us on to more exciting projects. As if...
