Fyi capsaicin is an oil so if you want to wash it out of your mouth, the correct thing is to swish your mouth out with oil, not water. I'm not kidding.

Thank you for a most excellent explanation, you have explained every question I had in one

Unless I misunderstanding, perhaps you could inform me?

But doesn't an individual have to set up an instance of their own peet tube and then host for you? So I would be looking at maybe 8 view per year?

That's a very astute observation

No. Look I don't care how many other commenters are agreeing with you, it's wrong. The tendrils go deep and just because you can't see them doesn't mean they're not there and not a toxic surprise waiting for you.

Homemade spicy dipping sauce for pizza bones

You can literally just take a can of tomato sauce (crushed tomatoes) add in a little bit of salt and pepper, some paprika or other heat. Little bit of oregano, thyme, basil, garlic.... And for the love of god at least a heaping teaspoon of sugar.

Let it simmer on low for a good 20 minutes, and you are the star of the show when you get there. It doesn't even need to be served hot, there's something very nice about a cool sauce that still has zip and flavor

I don't want to crap on you for your recommendation, I do have Skechers myself

I'm not sure what it's like in your region, but the quality of Skechers has dropped to the point where you might as well just burn your money

And gamma rays and ebola

I'd like to see that comment if you could link it!

I mean just on the surface of it, this is completely preposterous.

The first thing that comes to mind is you can only cover so much area. 4000 satellites would cover the dog park near me. In the scope of an undertaking like this, it's a trivial amount of energy they could possibly gather?

In some ways it is crucial, being able to talk about pop culture stuff is as essential to small talk as talking about the weather. Some people see these as trivialities, but it's an essential part of human connection.

And I feel it everyday, I have zero interest in pop music, zero interest in pop culture, I couldn't give two shits in a tin bucket about movies or shows.

It's going to make me sound like a douchebag, but I like plays, theater, art, jazz, human expression. And most people don't and I feel the disconnection continually. I don't think repeating jokes from the office qualifies as a personality or sense of humor. And most people do.

So to come back around, it's essential to basic connection with other people, but I find it endlessly frustrating.

It was over 20 years ago so you'll have to forgive some lapses and memory for me, but we rented a car and we were in houston, austin, san antonio then we drove south to do some exploration and hiking.

Maybe I'm being a little dramatic saying I hated it, but there was so little for me to enjoy it felt like a massive disappointment. The little culture I did bump into seemed very forced & disingenuous. So many of the people I met were superficially nice, but hayseed ignoramii

 

Come on, you know what I'm saying.

 

A neat video from the 1930's demonstrating animation with synthetically-generated music

The synthetic sounds are generated by variophone, an optical synthesizer that used sound waves cut onto rotating cardboard disks.

Pioneering work in graphic sound was underway in 1926

 

This is our work cat, Fancy Pants

 

He was an amusing sales guy that got into the TV advertising game early in the 50's. He found great success from barraging radio and TV with ads, especially late night TV, and half-ass daytime radio ads that were so bad they were good

With a disarming and quirky personality, he wore an inappropriate outfit and tall cowboy hat. He'd refer to the furniture store as the corral, call the viewers partner and always end with his catch-phrase 843 Main Street - C'Mon Down!. None of the cowboy presentation made sense given our city's culture, but perhaps it help him stand out!

His gag was constantly blaming his dopey No. 1 Son for leaving the furniture-making machine on overnight hence the blow-out sale (You'd think after taking so many losses he'd install an timer kill switch on the machine or get his son help, but I digress)

He was clearly not concerned about quality in the radio ads in particular, and you could just tell most were first-take probably to shave every cent off ad costs. He often was too leisurely and charming in the first 15 seconds, then realizing he's running out of time spoke faster and faster to get out the sales points, until he has but a second left to belt out his closing catch phrase, good fun

His philosophy in business was "give the customer more than they expect" which I heard him explain on a local AM radio time-filler interview one random weekend, but that really stuck with me and truly served me well in my life!

Mr Hill passed away many years ago but his memory is still strong here. The original building at 843 Main Street is gone due to arson but few will forget the impact this humble furniture salesman had in our city's culture

I know nothing about this but apparently most people are fully abreast of the situation

 

Random memory resurfaced of being in the barber's chair. I was 30 years old, Linda had been cutting my hair since I was 3.

After the cut for the first time ever, she ran the trimmers over the backs of my ears. That had never happened before.

I immediately realized in that moment I'm old and I now have old man hair on my ears
