But, and hear me out here, it’s also wicked cool.
Ours is more stick-shaped though, and really only good for candle wicks. If we smoked, you might be able to get a cigarette into the arc. It’d probably also work well if your grill’s or gas stove’s spark igniter was broken.
Why do you think Starfleet had to set that up in the first place? You think they WANT a huge network of oversized saltwater-flooded Jeffries tubes running alongside the constantly infiltrated and poorly electrically insulated normal ones?
Interesting. These say they’re from Mexico. It would be pretty underwhelming if there’s a blander variety.
But the tart ones are the good ones.
Raspberry for me, though I’m not sure if it’s fully artificial or “just” ultra-processed. It’s also partly because I like that flavor but I’m mildly allergic and about 25% of the time I eat it, my lip swells a bit, so I try to minimize how often I have it.
Deep cut here, but the old Rocky and Bullwinkle had a “Fractured Fairy Tales” that was often pretty fun.
I was using a 2012 “vintage” minitower PC that originally came with Win7 as a crappy little plex/local FTP/Minecraft server, and I had been wanting to try MacOS after not seeing it for a while, so I got a Mac Mini with an M2 in it, and while I’ve hardly stressed it, it seems really nice. It’s small and completely silent, and if I did want to use it more, Apple has certainly tried to keep their walled garden pretty and well-organized.
Wrinkled Eggs
These eggs appear to have ridges or wrinkled surfaces. Overcrowding, which results in stressed hens, can cause this abnormality. It also can be seen when a hen’s shell gland is defective or if the flock has infectious bronchitis. Wrinkles can result in weakened shells. Based on USDA standards for exterior eggshell quality, a wrinkled egg is downgraded to Grade B.
It’s funny… In some ways, I think he adored the stories they were telling, and particularly the potential the characters and the setting held, but he really seemed to dislike the production environment and many of the specific decisions that were made. He is an artist with a very specific voice (lol, literally even) and mindset that was maybe poorly suited to making Star Trek his “thing.”
God though, can you imagine if the brooding-to-manic Sisko acting roller coaster had become iconic in the broader culture like Shatner’s staccato shouting and dramatic pauses?
Also the best answer for Avery in particular to not to have to lie to anybody.
Some highlights:
“They seek nothing more than some modicum of due process and the rule of law,” wrote Biery.
He said the case of Conejo Arias and his son “has its genesis in the ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children."
“Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster. That is called the fox guarding the henhouse. The Constitution requires an independent judicial officer.”
…boiled peanuts are best purchased from the elderly or a fat kid at a minivan in a parking lot.
and if any word is spelled correctly on the sign, that’s a sign that they won’t be quite as good.
“If you have nothing to hide…” always assumes some modicum of goodwill, or at least restraint, from those doing to the looking.
I always liked them better when they were Corvettes.
Naaah, fill it up with weird saber-tooth deer meat. We already know that shit’s irresistible to Wookiees.
3-2-1 Mug Cake is a thing, and it’s pretty decent. That said, assuming they’re real food at all, none of those three things on the cover ever saw the inside of a microwave, LOL.
For it’s not so much that it’s going to be an unnecessary call than that the person just doesn’t want to collect their thoughts or (worse) doesn’t want to say what they want in writing. It’s usually going to be some ask that’s completely apart from anything I’ve been thinking about in the past 5-10 days, might be sketchy, and they apparently seem to think it’s urgent and/or nuanced, yet they’re just going to completely hold out on providing context and time that would let me be prepared for whatever pile of shit they’re about to dump on me.
If you can’t communicate it to me in a slack message or two, there’s a very real possibility that either you don’t know what you want, or that I can’t help you with it on a cold call.
I can literally feel myself deflating when I get these, like it’s a huge involuntary sigh accompanied by the classic heart-sinking…
…followed by a deep breath and a “Sure! 👍”
Both things could be true.
This is pretty much what I said to my wife while scritching my dogs. First it’ll just be expanded to missing kids and olds, because of course everyone wants to reunite families, but eventually it’ll be something that “law enforcement” can request for whatever the hell they want, because after all they’re the good guys keeping us safe!
