The next day…
😇: Hey thanks for babysitting the kids last night. Little Bobby says he picked up some new dance moves you showed him. That sounded like it was really fun!
😯: Oh, wow. What did he show you?
😇: …

“…Mom, they were all in the kitchen like… and Aunt Kathy was like… and Auntie Rachel was all… and then Uncle Darren went all like…”

If a gif could represent an entire article…

Don’t give up. Keep it growing!

Every dog park will look like that 1986 Cleveland event…

I’ve had this image forever. Today’s the day! Enjoy.

Well, a pack of batteries, more precisely.

Taking from the phrase “pork belly futures” to predict pork in the economy…
And taking the name of small laptop ram…

(⁠⌐⁠■⁠-⁠■⁠) “SO DIM” FUTURES.

My apologies; I assumed COBs were a single chip. I had to search it to be certain. So it’s single\multiple raw led chip(s) [“bonded directly to the die”] inside a substrate as a single encapsulation package. In a SMD package the final encapsulation is just a lens.

Someone correct me if I’m mistaken.
Cheers.

True – it would require a external heat source (wood, gas, coal, concentrated solar, etc) to boil water for turbine generated electricity.

They go out of their way to make a product look like cob lights. But I never found a true COB led in cheapo lights. It’s always a row of tiny leds under yellow tape.

For curiosity tinkering, grab some dark film (or a stack of 3 sunglasses lens, turn on the light, and be amazed just how teeny tiny the led die chips really are.
Similarity, about 5 to 8 tiny led chips are inside the filaments of these kinds of lights…

Wow. I never thought of bottling and selling water.

Was surprised xkcd didn’t mention steam boiler turbines.

Yes. A sign of a healthy native ecosystem!

A pic from a Fb post…

I bet a guy suggested OFFaiCE and they prolly said “that’s confusing”.

When you ask the copilot to do a 365…

Here’s that scene when Arnold Schwarzenegger camouflaged himself in the mud…

I dunno if I want to go back to throwing newspapers again every single morning… for $80 a month when (then) minimum wage was $900 per month.

The exercise was nice. But the sound of my mom falling off backwards on a bicycle will never get out of my head. She was okay, but ss a kid, still haunting.

When then Gray Davis was being recalled she threw her hat into the ring. ̶U̶̶n̶̶s̶̶u̶̶̶c̶̶e̶̶s̶̶s̶̶f̶̶u̶̶l̶ She dropped out, but her effort set a modern-day open door for any celebrity to enter the politics arena. This solidified Arnold Schwarzenegger’s later win.

edit- clarification

A family of opossums visited recently. This time of year my garden usually gets an abundance of snails and worms – because of the rain. But this year, none! I guess they had an absolute feast. My overwintering succulents and Canna plants were not eaten to the ground. So spring flowering will be awesome.
