@robgalanakis @clive It was a lucky find but it happens. MPG was measured on cross-country trips, back and forth WV-MT. Empty car on the flat it reaches 38 MPG. Worst cases were cross-country towing a 3,900 pound trailer at 21 MPG. Random city driving and errands around 28. Not bad for an ICE.

Been eyeing EV's for years too but they are highly problematic in this part of the country (West Virginia). There has been no significant charging infrastructure and home charging is out because the houses here don't have garages. (Built 100+ years ago). Everyone parks on the street. As more chargers appear it will become feasible.

@ordinoides Okay, gotcha. That's plenty hot. I was thinking food safety and wondering if this method was a sort of sous vide or "sun tea" approach that can not only fail to kill pathogens but encourage their growth.

So yeah, nevermind. No worries. :-)

There were a lot of apparently happily surprised folks here when I last mentioned Tom Lehrer in passing, and it occurs to me that many of you may not be familiar with his amazing performance in Copenhagen in 1967. - youtube.com/watch?v=QHPmRJIoc2

There’s only one reason Judge Aileen Cannon denied the special counsel's request to keep the names of the 84 witnesses in the Trump case hidden

One reason only:

It’s to have maga traitors threaten them in hopes they don’t testify.

There’s nothing American about a republican.

@robgalanakis @clive Well, my Toyota Corolla runs great and gets 35 MPG. I paid $950 for it five years ago. It's easy to spend twice that on a bicycle. (Somebody is making a LOT of money ;-)

@randahl Yes, facsimile and then radiofacsimile. We ham radio operators can still use the original protocols and timing. Nowadays we use computers to produce and decode the audio tones, and display it on the screen, but some have resurrected the mechanical versions. It's slow but it works well enough. Images from the moon during the Apollo program were sent the same way.

Building on this, hams developed slow-scan television which is the same thing but in color. It was popular in the 1970s and 80s.

Newspaper photos were sent by this method into the 1960s. If you're old like me, you'll remember seeing "Wirephoto" in the caption of many newspaper photos.

@ordinoides Very interesting indeed. I love beans, cook them in big batches, and freeze them six cup portions.

Did you note the maximum temperature reached by the product during the process?

When a Supreme Court Justice repeats verbatim the talking points of Russian oil oligarchs, OPEC kleptocrats, AND #KochNetwork climate denialists, you know who bought themselves a Supreme Court.

USA Politics today:
•Biden gets $42B for broadband—Trump admits to stealing classified docs
•PA Gov Shapiro repairs I-95 in 12 days—FL Gov DeSantis tries to cancel citizenship
•IL Gov Pritzker signs bill to guarantee breaks & a day off—TX Gov Abbot bans water breaks

Dems aren’t perfect, no, but we are working to be more perfect—and that matters.

Holy crap, this line from CNN's Reliable Sources newsletter: "Under Licht, many CNN journalists simply felt restrained as they delivered the news, unsure whether stating the truth on the contentious, politically charged issues that saturate the daily news cycle might land them in hot water."

UNSURE WHETHER STATING THE TRUTH...MIGHT LAND THEM IN HOT WATER.

@clive I've been eyeing ebikes for several years now. They still seem overpriced.

@notpike A lot of people are not introspective. They don't ask themselves the obvious question. Many cis males never ask themselves the simple honest question, "Could I choose to be erotically attracted to men?"

OTOH it seems most people never ask themselves any honest questions. They don't question their feelings or beliefs. Their experience of the world is that what they believe IS absolute truth. Their experience is that their feeling are something that happens TO them. They don't realize that feelings are simply the result of a thought and something that they do to themselves.

@olavf I don't know what the practice is today. Those friends I know who had it done, one of them recently, and my mother who had it done looong ago 1940s) had it done all in one go.

I'm 70, have had a few pulled, but am still running on original equipment. (fingers crossed).

Lawyer refused to remove his concealed weapon while accompanying a family member into an MRI.

He was warned to remove any and all metal. He chose not to disclose that he was carrying the ferro-magnetic weapon.

No innocent people were injured.

He was killed.

▪️Facts about Russia.. First, this is a mob war, not a coup. All involved are brutal thugs..Murder, Inc. All black hats.

▪️Second, although it is an internal fight, I think there has to be concerned about the spillover into Belarus or NATO countries, like Hungary.

▪️ Putin is a wanted war criminal by the Hague for war crimes and genocide in Ukraine.

▪️Feb 2021, the #FBI announced it was seeking to arrest #Prigozhin on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud the US, for INTERFERING in U.S. domestic politics & attempting to influence a presidential election, offering a CASH REWARD of up to $250,000 for info that could lead to his arrest.

▪️Both thugs, killers have arrested warrants out for their arrest.

Prigozhin is wanted by the FBI here in the states for helping trump get elected in 2016. Mueller indicted him. The republicans wish you didn’t know that. They want you to believe Russian conspiracy to install their shill is a hoax. Russia installed Trump with the help of stupid, hateful Americans.

Just a reminder re. Prigozhin and the Internet Research Agency troll farms:

“I was never just a financier of the Internet Research Agency. I invented it, I created it, I ran it for a long time.”
