    The Rice nanotechnology institute already has that one wrapped up.

    Eyeroll... Managing a website can be a PITA, and constantly dealing with complaining people is a whole lot like 'work' and I am happy that immamac bothers to put up with that shit so we all can make stupid drunk posts when we feel like it. There are certainly things that could be improved, but the above is just a petulant tantrum. Please unbunch your panties and do better. That said, the secret really is NoScript. (Sorry immamac, but I do run all the ads hosted by surlyhorns.com.)

    The true tell that this guy wasn't a real Trumper wan't the name 'Biden' on his shirt, it was the BMI inside the shirt...

    I'm not sure exactly what day OU weekend will be. Somewhere I got the idea it was the second Saturday in October, which would be 14 Oct next year. But I don't know for sure, and the fact that neither UT nor OU has a date on their schedule, tells me it is not quite set yet.

    I think that the remains of the shot-down F-117 were there, and the attack (by B-2 iirc) was intentional, though we denied this.

    Not all all. He is not using it anymore, so why not move it along to somebody who will use and enjoy it?

    Also crocodiles.

    Austin FC

    Doesn't (didn't?) the rugby team play there? The one time I have been to that stadium was for that.

    Yeah, nobody has ever said anything about cosmetic forehead things around here before.

    That is one advantage to collecting what is mostly bullion, compared to 'collector' things. It is a lot easier to value, mainly because the value is all in the physical material.

    I think this will be OU weekend, it is the second Saturday in October 2023. From the Cotton Bowl, this will be about an 80% partial eclipse, again from about 10:25 am to 1:30 pm.
  12. pantone159
    Somehow I missed the 2023 one as well. Austin will not get a total annular eclipse for this one, on Sat 14 Oct 2023, but it will get about a 90% partial eclipse, between about 10:25 am to 1:30 pm. To see the full annular eclipse (which may not be much more exciting than the 90% partial), head to about San Angelo.
  13. pantone159
    Total eclipse in Austin starts 1:36 pm on 8 Apr 2024, and lasts about 2 minutes. Head west a bit (e.g. Friedricksburg) to see the full length, about 4 minutes 30 seconds. It does take precise calculations, but the motion of the sun and moon are modeled with great precision, so the calculation can be one. One thing that is not known as well, is the rotation speed of the earth, it fluctuates unpredictably (which is the reason for the occasional leap seconds) and that will affect exactly where on the surface of Earth the path goes. But that is a relatively small adjustment. Fwiw, both Uluru/Ayers Rock in Australia, and Mecca in Saudia Arabia, are getting a total eclipse in the next couple of decades.

    Sounds to me like these boxes that held the classified documents also held some non-classified things mixed in as well. That is not a fuckup by the FBI, it is a description of the lack of care with which the classified documents were stored. And such non-secret things that were in these boxes are being sorted out and returned. And my passport does state specifically that it is the property of the US Government and can be reclaimed at any time. The only valid complaint is that Trump & Co were so sloppy in illegally storing the secret documents that they mixed in non-illegal things with them. That is 0% on the government and 100% on DJT.

    You mean Lady Gaga, and the song title is Poker Face, and the line is a reference to Texas Hold-em, as in the poker game.

    Elon has a bullshit case, but if you are Twitter, and especially if you are thinking about Twitter as an operating business, you want Musk to go away and be able to forget about it all. Trying to force somebody you don't want buying your company to buy your company is asking for business operations paralysis. Twitter should try and get money in court later, but for now they need to move on.

    If you are a Lewis and Clark fan, you can go about 30 miles east to Pompeys Pillar, and see where Clark signed his name into the rock. It is one of the only bits of physical evidence where their group went back in 1804-1806.

    And from the science nerd point of view: Blood is probably not a very practical fluid for this, but if you mix a solution of potassium thiocyanate and some ferric iron solution, you get a dark red color that looks very much like blood, and would probably work just fine in a fountain. None of those chemicals are particularly toxic. I think this same formula is used in special effects sometimes.

    Yeah, it even has the Confederate States stars and bars flag. It is nauseating.

    I've been to La Gruta, it is definitely tourist friendly, but I liked it. The shade of the cave is nice after running around in the sun at the pyramids.
  21. pantone159
    Yes, sorry I misread and was not counting the ties that you assumed. Two ties for USA and we are indeed in.
  22. pantone159
    CR maxes out at 25. They can still beat USA, even if we win vs Panama, on enough goal differential. Panama maxes out at 24.
  23. pantone159
    If we win at home vs Panama on Sunday, we get at least the 4th place playoff. Then, if CR does not win on Sunday, that Panama win would get us in (3rd place or better). Even if CR does win on Sunday, we would be able to go to CR and lose and still make it, as long as the loss is not too bad, since we should be ahead on goal differential. Exactly how bad we could lose at CR and still qualify will not be known until the results of Sunday's games are in. E.g. if we beat Panama 1-0, and CR beats El Salvador 1-0, we would have a 7 goal lead on CR, so we could lose 0-3 at CR and still be in.

    That would wreck my strategy pretty thoroughly!

    Rookie mistake there. Once you knew the last 4 letters from guess 4, your job then was to find the possible first letters. So for guess 5 you want a word that uses as many of those letters as possible, and it is a total waste to repeat the letters you already know for sure. So you wasted 4 of your 5 possible tries for finding the last (first) letter.
