For what it’s worth, I hope they find something to get you well again.

Fair enough, how are you doing now? Any word out from them yet?

Not even in the Mayo clinic?

I read your warning, and I still clicked the link. And then I threw up a little in my mouth.

The budget doesn’t matter, it only matters that you show a strong stance regarding hand-outs, so your voters feel you’re not wasting tax money.

The link is correct, but direct linking is blocked for some reason. If you go to the link from here you will get the article.

More likely Trabants or, for the elite, Wartburgs.

Stress, especially about money, makes you tired. So it’s got nothing to do with being lazy. I just switched medication because the old ones made me tired. It adds up quickly to feel debilitating IMO.

We use rince aid for dish washing machines. Works great.

About four years on average. I would go longer, but at that point the phones I buy tend to go buggy. I buy phones in the € 250 to € 300 range.

A person I know used to work as a nurse in an operating room, stuff like this happens more often than you’d think. I haven’t heard an eggplant mentioned by them though.

Damn, after reading the first paragraph I really tought this was going to include masturbation by insertion of an eggplant. Now I’m a little disappointed to be honest.

I take it that you’re not a parent. So, if Snapchat is not able to know that someone is a sex offender, how is a parent to know?

Sure, you could, and maybe should, forbid usage of these apps, but at the end of the day you’re not looking over your kids shoulders 24/7.

300 ohm is only for the folded dipole antennas which have a four times higher impedance than a single dipole. So you don’t need to use a balun with a roof antenna, just the right type of dipole.

In the Netherlands we’ve always had coaxial connections as long as I can remember. A quick google search tells me this has been so since the introduction of TV in the 1940’s.

These gems probably weren’t even on display in the museum, just hoarded in storage forever.

According to the book, grok is the Martian word for “to drink”. Since water is rare on Mars (and it is needed for life), it is a holy substance. Martians (and people studying the Martian language) share a drink of water to become “water brothers”, bathing is a profound ritual and to understand something or somebody completely is referred to as “drinking” them or it.

It might blow up if there’s the smallest amount of water in it.

Well, the Dutch wikipedia article on generations has the groups different than the English version. In English, I’m Gen X, in Dutch I’m from the “pragmatic generation”.
