@bachophile I've had more than one NG tube go submucosal. When I looked in the pharynx, it's not there, but there's something wiggling under the mucosa at the back of the throat... Hate when that happens.

Some more random pics of BKK [image: 1667728263128-img_8427.jpg] I would think if you were going to spend money on a company sign, you would make sure the words are correct. It's hard to see, but even on the side of the shop, it is spelled wrong also. Too a trip today to Bang Nam Phueng, a three sided "island" in the Chao Praya river. Close to BKK, but seems like a long ways away. [image: 1667728390225-img_8422.jpg] Signs of the recent flooding in BKK. Long and heavy rainy season this year. Fortunately, it appears to be over.

(Called Kra Pao in Thai) [image: 1667728540211-img_8436.jpg] Bang Nam Phueng - very rural seeming. [image: 1667728579072-img_8439.jpg] Interesting bug. It actually is only about the size of period dot. Guess it was drinking the water on the table. [image: 1667728641252-img_8447-2.jpg] Thought of @Aqua-Letifer and @jon-nyc and other bike riders when I saw this. Like the Romans, they don't have bike lanes, only wheelchair lanes!! 555

Pretty cool!

It broke the rule, so it is out of line. A couple years ago they loosened up some of the rules related to this. It used to be a penalty if you touched the sand at all. Scroll down to page 5 to see the new rule. https://www.usga.org/content/dam/usga/images/rules/rules-modernization/New-Rules/summary-of-main/Summary of Main Changes_2019 Rules of Golf_FINAL.pdf

@Horace said in Washington Post outs DiSantis' hypocrisy: Typical Republican hypocrite. Damn right. Now, Oprah forsaking Dr. Oz for Fetterman is a TOTALLY different thing, because that's politics.

I watched about three Mandalorians and found it dull. But that is pretty much what I thought about all the Star Wars stuff, even the first one.

@George-K said in Daylight Saving to be made permanent: Don't forget to fall back tonight! [image: 200w.webp?cid=ecf05e47azsclb476yl6z2ohn1caewucuo30313u1qnovl4r&rid=200w.webp&ct=g] Snort.

@George-K said in Tonight's dinner: an experiment with steak: Like I said, 15 minutes resulted in a well-done steak. Never again. I tried to use an indwelling thermometer, but the wire to the readout prevented the door from shutting, so it was hit/miss. Thinking of a wireless indwelling thermometer. Any recommendations? I have one of these things. I haven't unpacked it yet after the move. After you dial in a time in the air fryer, it's not relevant. But it worked as far as I used it.

Sort of related. [image: 1667658512816-screenshot-2022-11-05-at-9.28.16-am.png] [image: 1667658521847-screenshot-2022-11-05-at-9.27.08-am.png] [image: 1667658528390-screenshot-2022-11-05-at-9.27.39-am.png]

@jon-nyc said in Wisconsin election to make governor irrelevant?: @George-K said in Wisconsin election to make governor irrelevant?: That outcome — “terrifying,” as Melissa Agard, a Democratic state senator and the leader of the party’s campaign arm in the chamber, described it — would clear a runway for Republican state legislators to follow through on their promises to eliminate the state’s bipartisan elections commission and take direct control of voting procedures and the certification of elections. What could go wrong? There is no plausible story that starts with vote certification shenanigans out in public under everybody's noses, and ends with a permanent cessation of the meaning of votes entirely. You should be happy to see this attempted. It will only give Republicans a further black eye in the public debate, similar to January 6. I won't presume to know how you really feel about January 6 - whether it was terrifying, cathartic, or some combination of both - but I am very clear that the strategists in your tribe love that it happened.

I’ll have ask my BIL. He’s from Fort Wayne.

Not where I live. The GOP dominates and the county is extremely well run.
