  1. Oh, let's get right down to the heart of the matter. Evil.
  2. The Vermiform Villains and their Velveteen Victims Superdraft
  3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcalounger
  4. An alternative is, "We do not yet have resurrection technology at the required level."
  5. Garrulous Gumboot Guardians of the Fnord Galaxie
  6. Very impressive display here, considering I'm well inside a major metropolitan area (admittedly further north than most in North America); by far the greatest I have witnessed personally. Once dark adapted I could see the colors and lots of structure, which changed on timescales of a minute or so. I missed the other such storms in my lifetime mostly because of local terrestrial weather. Would have been fun to get spectra, but I had nothing like a suitable instrument for that. It's enough for me to take the night of 10/11 May off my list of Days of Ill Omen (it was on that night in 1983 that my apartment burned).
  7. Having a cell phone in silent vibrate mode go off while you are sitting with the phone in your hip pocket is unnerving.
  8. This reminds me of one of the sequences in the original Toy Story movie
  9. Depends on whether you can grow the mustache, and tolerate it once you do so. I fail at the first, and have severe doubts about my ability at the second.
  10. Another domain url has been acquired by one of those despicable web address vultures. Thus, Abstruse Goose is no more. A pity, because it had the funniest quantum physics cartoon ever devised. The particular cartoon was titled "S-Matrix", but it would have been much more to the point had it been titled "Electron porn".
  11. "What's my next command?" (It's about four minutes in)
  12. Gee, I hadn't realized that Vladimir Putin was on the Boeing board of directors.
  13. Hopper, from A Bug's Life
  14. Flying Monkeys, from Wizard of Oz
  15. I don't know. Most of them are images pasted into (and hosted on) Discord. Those links usually go belly-up even for me (on this site) after a couple of days, even though the images are still live in the Discord pages where I found them ... though if I was simultaneously logged in here and in Discord, then they show up here. This behavior only started (for me) in the last month or so, so I suspect something about link cacheing was rammed down my machine's throat (and I don't know if it's updates to Windows, Discord, Firefox browser, or even Dell firmware).
  16. On the occasion of the guitarist's death...
  17. Wow. a resolving power of 45000 with complete coverage of the H (0.35 microns wide, centered about 1.65 microns) and K (slightly broader, centered at 2.2 microns) windows. Hmmm.
  18. Yogi Bear ("I am smar-ter than the average bear!")
  19. Seahawks-Broncos trade history under Seattle GM John Schneider Very complete if terse summary: Ouchie.
