    Did Morrow win the runoff? I did not notice the news on that race.

    You only saw a partial solar eclipse, not a total one, or you would not say "huh".

    Nice finding photo. I saw it from Austin last night (in Barton Hills) about 9:45 or so. (9:30-10:00 pm was when it was visible.) I did need binoculars to find it. Steps to locate the comet: 1) Find the Big Dipper as in this photo. 2) Trace from where the ladle reaches the cup (the uppermost star in the 4-star cup of the dipper), diagonal across the cup (to the lowest star here), then go about twice as far. Then you have to scan with binocs to find it. In this photo, there are two stars in a line (below the dipper) that sort of point at the comet, I ended up using these to help me keep track of it. Be aware that the position of the comet relative to the Dipper will change over the next week a bit. The comet will be gradually moving left and up, from our evening perspective.

    Google Maps tells me that Representative Bill Zedler and S Thompson both have an office at 1100 South Congress in the 04. I do not know anything about them.

    There are a couple of state legislator offices listed at 1100 SOUTH, according to my googles. So maybe this is not actually a typo???

    Maybe is was one of those Captcha things, you have to pick which squares have an elephant, but the trunk, ears, legs, and all sticks into almost all the squares a little bit.

    I confess that I would surely take the same career path if I had the same choice.

    What do you mean "you people"???!!! But yes, that is fucking embarrassing.

    Hedgehogs fired forward, not to the side, and indeed needed contact to explode. These could be fired before a sonar contact was lost when the ship went over the sub. There were also throwers for normal depth charges that threw them off to the side, I think these were called K-Guns. These were normal depth charges that exploded based on depth/pressure.

    FIFY. Mostly this is (probably) because most people have not been exposed, at least enough to make detectable antibodies.

    Admit it, you replied just for an excuse to type 'Liverpudlian'. At least, I did.

    I'm sorry, but ABSOLUTELY NOTHING is going to come of this. This administration has done uncountably many things that are both true, and handled in the most clumsy way imaginable. With exactly zero consequences. FOX/Rush will get their spin going, and this is not even going to move the needle one iota with his base.

    Good percentage of pix with snek with its tongue out. My first rule of snek photos, is they are always better when snek has its forked tongue out.

    That is the whole fucking point. These people are utterly loathsome without any qualification.

    I have some SaltStick FastChews (electrolyte tablets), I find them at REI, that I eat if I cramp up. I don't get them as bad as it sounds you do, but I do get them sometimes. And tongue cramps suck.

    So tomorrow is the big day?

    And so this is not miniballer then? Just trying to keep my racist internet trolls straight, so this world doesn't start to seem crazy.
  18. pantone159
    Is miniballer a he? I am confused.

    You need to find a bird with snek perched on a cactus someday. Ideally eagle, rattlesnek and prickly pear, but any version would be very cool.

    If the package is spelled 'Gilette' that is your first clue...

    This actually happened during WWII. Soon after the USA entered the war, the Germans sent some submarines to attack shipping on the east coast of the USA. They were devastating at first, partially because the merchants refused to turn off the lights, it was bad for business, and then the silhouettes of ships were easy to find and easy pickings.

    That is my take. I am fine walking around outside without one, though I often have a buff around my neck which I can turn into a mask if needed. I think the non-N95 masks do help protect you a little bit. It is not full protection, but better than nothing.

    Yes, and also bright Sirius makes a nice triangle with the Moon and Venus. Thanks for getting me to get out and look, cause going outside is a complicated ritual these days.

    Guyaquil is at sea level.

    One of the first things I realized once I started semi-isolation, was that I was using a LOT more paper towels than usual. Once I started to get into the routine of disinfecting stuff, for me that is a paper towel and some alcohol, and I will be doing this a lot, probably for months and months. Plus being home and eating at home all the time I use more. It is the most sanitary way to dry your hands after washing too. I looked at my towel stash, and it was obviously inadequate. So off to HEB I went!
