My neighbor has a lot of wild violets and a few dandelions. It’s quite pretty.

@jolly That’s a great idea, big issue is there is NO ventilation down here. No heat. (We used plug in heaters). One people sized door that is coming in the front. (That’s probably some sort of business code violation right there, but this is Butte, and people don’t seem to care about a lot of that stuff here). One small window in the front gallery that might open (not sure, haven’t checked it to see if it does) So it’s going to have to be water based, whatever we do. (Still fumes with those, but not quite as bad). Here I’ve been mopping because I’m worried about what’s in the dust from the construction, but I should probably be more worried about the radon, as we are underground. The windows in the front gallery photo are at sidewalk level outside.

I use the button.

It works fine.

It cooks for maybe 20 seconds after the popping stops.

I like the slightly burned taste.

If China want to make the US go away they could use nukes. But the land, and other assets, would be useless for some time.

If China wants the US they have to march down main street with conventional weapons. Or take over the democrat party and make them all insane. This strategy seems to be succeeding so far.

Well done. 👏

In your opinion, you are probably right.

I just find it interesting how, under the rules of the court, so much of what we read in the press, is shown to be not the case.

They got the skin color correct, the rest is just filler.

He was on the president's advisory board

Making the president look like a hero is a no-brainer

He had to predict the end of the world, it's the job

The world didn't end? Let's all thank Mr. Biden.

@copper said in Vaccination etiquette question:

Here we are 20 years later with TSA still trying to prevent 9/11

It's the same panic

9/11 is over, you can't stop it, but the TSA continues to try

I think the general idea is to stop it happening again.

Reliance on 'Lightning doesn't strike twice' isn't a very good survival strategy, particularly, it has to be said, if you're a steeplejack.

Actually the two drivers may be confidence of the flying public and government jobs to dole out at this point.

I'm sure. We are always checking the maps. We generally don't get a lot until close to June.

@george-k

Maybe there have already been several poured for this guy?

I'm sure MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred has given up his membership at Augusta, we just haven't heard about it yet.
