We really left an impression

Wonder if I'll be able to remember that the UK-ism for a traffic cone is a witches hat. It makes sense of course, just not what I'm used to. Plus the oscilloscope probe add-on takes first spot for that in my mind. Would guess I'll need more british comedies to reference it for the memory to stick.

I feel sorry for the orcas.

I expect this to get a lot of negative input, but the Orca's free roam space is actually 3x the size they've highlighted. And granted, it's really small compared to the oceans of the world, but someone's purposely lying, and to make the point they don't even need to. Just had to try to get the multiplier to move a tiny bit more, like that would be the sway point.

Still not sure what people expect SeaWorld to do with the orcas they currently have. Should they all be shot? Is that better for the orcas? They would starve to death if released.

cooking question

Used to belong to a Homebrewing forum (beer, not computer servers), and they had monthly post about someone wanting to infuse their beer with tobacco. Which is where I learned that it will kill ya dead. Tobacco can be used externally to reduce swelling, chew on a wasp sting will prevent a lot of it. Or if you're looking for trouble late in life I guess you could smoke it also, though that one seems a great deal less compelling to me.

Re-iterate - Don't eat any food made with tobacco, it will harm you at the very least.

Right? This is a 14yo's version of what they need to be doing. They don't need to be walking in the street, they need to be impeaching and removing every part of this administration. Voting on bills to end this horror, not be physically present where they have little power.

Ideas on what to do with this space?

I want you to start with the idea that I'm an idiot, but don't those exist to be a fire escape from the basement? Wouldn't filling it in negate that, or at least make it more difficult? Again, idiot that lives in the state with the water line two inches below the ground (Florida), which prevents us from making basements.

If that's not true, maybe you'll get someone that comes here to tell me how wrong I am, and gives you great ideas to do with the 'not fire escape'.

Plan N

A bullshit argument "Hen Mazzig" has. That land is owned by the Palestinians. They don't want to leave, it is Israel forcibly removing people from their land, and then whining that the Palestinian's friends won't let them crash on the couch. They want to live in the land that they either bought or inherited from their family.
