Kinda chokes you up, don't it?

What's the other explanation for why elephants have flat feet? A: From jumping out of the palm trees. Why is it dangerous to go into the forest between 2 and 4 in the afternoon? A: That's when the elephants are jumping out of the palm trees. Why are some folks in elephant country so short? A: They w...

Oh, there's tons of ways to make wine worse. Trust me.

Point of fact, yeah--we are convinced that the cellar does affect the wine, though maybe not as much if you follow industrial sanitation procedures. But we do aerobic primary fermentation for almost everything, and then put most of it in oak half-barrels (~33 gallon capacity) for a year or two, befo...

The HORROR! Got to tell ya, friends, there's a whole lot more than 15 gallons of homemade wine in my cellar. That's a ridiculously low limit for family use. Why these guys were doing it at the plant is another question. Those carboys are pretty standard for home fermentation and storage. Whether the...

Hate to say it, but what can ya do?

This guy sounds like a real jerkoff.

The pharmaceutical firms are multinational, and vaccine research is global. It has been a top priority of the world experimental biology community. And the second-greatest number of papers published in my employer's journals this year have been from teams headed by Chinese researchers. This is a gre...

Just a reminder: Socialism (gov't control of means of production) has been a failure since at least 1620. The Mayflower Pilgrims made a covenant with God to work the fields and share alike for the common good. They starved for the next several years. Eventually, Governor Bradford said the hell with...

But it's really great shit, Mrs. Presky!

It's not hard to ignore if the entire premise is flagrantly unconstitutional.

You did the right thing with the kitty.

I have way too many sad kitty stories, so we won't go there.

Newton wins again . . . .

The county coroner here--a Republican, like all county-level elected officials except for the minority Commissioner--has said that he expects deaths to increase in two weeks, because mortality lags increases in case diagnoses, and diagnoses and rates of positive tests are heading up. That article is...

Whoever did this is really good at it.

Restaurants pose far greater risks for contracting covid than big-box stores, for reasons that should be obvious to anyone who ever did time in food service and has general familiarity with current pandemic conditions. Restaurants have people breathing without masks in an enclosed space, and the wor...

One of my favorite park warnings in the Cascades was Do Not Molest the Elk.

Seemed sound advice to me!

The other one was Rain Is Not an Emergency.

Here's hoping this never comes true!

On the bright side, if it's on that channel, it's almost certainly not true.

It's a shame. That thing was amazing. They don't mention any plans to build a new one. I doubt that they will replace it with anything directly similar. Technology and technique has moved on. These days, the preferred approach seems to be to build networks and arrays of smaller radio-telescopes, an...
