Meter‽ We are more than well acquainted.

‘a meter’

I hope he enjoys the full experience.

PS2 textures and skeletons, but way too many polygons.

It was the second jet to go overboard the Truman in as many weeks.

Oh this is the one from earlier this week. I thought a third one fell off.

A third fighter jet was accidentally shot down over the Red Sea in December by another Navy warship, the USS Gettysburg, raising questions about how well warships and fighter jets in the region are communicating, the Post reported.

Whelp!

Yes, though it does not affect the nutritive content or prevent subsequent cultures from taking root, so you can still inoculate irradiated foodstuffs with live ginger bug, yeast, scoby, mother, etc. or open air ferment.

1. We do! Or, at least we are allowed to. I’m mostly aware of it being done with meats.

2. The FDA requires that irradiated foods bear… the statement “Treated with radiation”…

3. The word “radiation” is scary to the general public. It conjures thoughts of glowing rocks and nuclear fallout. It makes folk imagine that their food might be radioactive.

1. It’s a new market. Well… new enough to not be well understood by the general public, or by the contractors getting into it.
2. It’s techy. That that attracts a certain…entrepreneurial personality.
3. The prospective customers are people who can already afford a home.
4. it can be pitched as “it’ll pay for itself”

Those seas in particular? Because they are bounded by narrow straights.

A gulf has a more specific definition. A sea has a very broad one.

A gulf is mostly enveloped (engulfed) by land, but fairly open to its parent waters relative to its size on one side. Like a reverse peninsula.

A sea can be just about any large, salty, body of water that is between bits of land. They can have very finite bounds such as narrow straights and rivers mouths, more porous bounds like an archipelago, or broadly open to the ocean / other seas between islands or other land masses.

The question for me is “why is the Persian Gulf not a sea, but the Adriatic Sea is not a gulf?”

I guess part of it is that language changes over time, these things got named by different people over the millennia before they were well mapped. Some are translations from other languages, some are political decisions.

We open the windows when the temperature dips, especially at night. If the wind is low or dead, we will use a fan to push the hot air out of one window so cool air gets pulled in though the rest of them.

We have a portable AC in the main room and a window AC in the bedroom for when it gets too hot during the day, or doesn’t dip at night.

If you live in a dry climate, a swamp cooler could work.

What do you mean by slow? Time till symptoms? time till death? Hours? Days? Weeks?

Raw castor beans contain ricin its a cool looking plant that gets big. My neighbor grew on once accidentally.

symptoms commonly begin within two to four hours, but may be delayed by up to 36 hours.

Unless treated, death can be expected to occur within 3–5 days; however, in most cases a full recovery can be made.

Actually a lot of beans are toxic when raw, but not deadly. Raw lima beans are special though; they contain something that the human body breaks down into cyanide. No clue how long that takes or how many it would take to cause harm.

Heavy metals (mercury, arsenic, cadmium, lead) are known for building up over time with many exposures. Think mad hatter syndrome, etc. but exposures can also be acute if high enough. IIRC acute arsenic poisoning makes you vomit and diarrhea until you die of dehydration after days or weeks.

And the entire geological record

I don’t use my laptop much anymore (don’t have a desktop either): Some modeling, accounting, spreadsheets, or doc composition; things that are cumbersome to do well on a tablet. General browsing and videos are on my phone, tablet, or cast to the TV. When I want to game it’s usually on my switch.

It’s The laptop is really my device of last resort. I know it will do exactly what I want it to do, but I have to dig it out, clear space for it and usually plug it in if it’s not a quick job because the thing is old and an energy hog. My tablet is newer and I got it a convertible laptop-like keyboard case. The battery lasts so much longer and it’s just easier to lug around to where I need it for whatever.

Welp! I didn’t have “President gives Nazi salute” on my bingo card…

It must be Wednesday.

Most damage comes from heat, and rough handling, so I sort by structure/weight, and wash almost everything on cold, and tumble dry on low, auto-sense.

The only color I wash separate is white so it can run hot and with bleach.

I also presort, by weight into 4 bins heavyweight, middleweight, lightweight/dress-shirts, and finally undergarments/delicates/socks

We might go a 2-3 weeks between a running a particular bin so we can separate things out just because there is enough to fill out it’s own load.

Undergarments and deli sites go together, might add leggings or lightweight tops to fill out a load

Socks are separate merely because we like fluffy wool socks and they will fill their own load, and it’s easier to pair them when they all come out together. Otherwise they’d be with undergarments. Might run on warm if the foot stank is real bad.

Sturdy fabrics like denim and duck all go together in a denim cycle it’s just cold/cold with a heavy spin

Sweats and other heavy bulkys go together so they don’t twist up lighter clothes. Might run these with denim or towels

Lightweight tops and button down shirts go together. Lightweight sweaters might be get mixed in too.

Then general laundry is middleweight fabrics: t-shirts, slacks leggings, etc.

If there’s enough for their own load, towels get a hot cycle to get cut down on microbial growth. Otherwise they go with denim and/or sweats. NEVER USE FABRIC SOFTENER/DRYER SHEETS ON TOWELS. It makes things softer by adding oils THAT prevent them from absorbing water, which is the whole point of towels.

Sheets and pillowcases might get a warm cycle and pre wash to help cut through accumulated body grease, etc.
