"How does combining canned fruit cocktail, mayonnaise, and mini-marshmallows sound to you? I can tell you how it sounded back then, it sounded exciting."
I have never heard of this beast, but I am intrigued. When did it go extinct? And where can I get a recipe? Or should I just begin experimenting?
Maybe they are not factory turkeys? Who sells heirloom/heritage/whatchamacallit turkeys if not Wholefoods?
Inorganic turkey would be a major scientific discovery in any market.
(Yes, I am being snide for a chuckle. So sue me.)
The southern Democrats were the party of racism and anti-black terrorism. They were conservative, anti-negro, aristocratic and anti-democratic. They were opposed by the southern Republican party, which was a working-class party that attracted all african-americans and 10-40% of the white vote depending on the southern state. Once Reconstruction was abandoned, the aristocratic whites in the KKK assassinated all of the african-american leaders and terrorized the rest into submission, thus ending the southern experiment in democracy for a century. The southern Democratic party was the party of white supremacy, and there was no other party. This ended in the 1960s, when leading racists in the southern Dems, realizing the distance between themselves and the national party, first founded their own explicitly southern party (the Dixiecrats) and then finally relented and joined the GOP, which was their natural home.
In this case it means: "Stupid headline; clickbait that will lie or disappoint." The only possible news here is that NASA is doing something stupid, but I cannot be bothered to check for sure.
Information cannot be delivered faster than Einstein's constant even using quantum entanglement. The concept is well-understood. Would you read an article about how NASA discovered how to make your car run more efficiently by using tap water instead of gasoline?
It's a basic principle that branded products will lose market share if people are momentarily forced to try something different. This is why Kraft foods spends so much money maintaining a cheese reserve; if--due to some temporary disaster--there was a shortage of cheese then they might not be able to keep shelves stocked with their brand and loyal customers would be forced to try something they might discover that they prefer.
What a great "idea". Unfortunately you still have to divide first in order to determine your multiplicand.
For example. Dividing by 34.527. How do you know what to multiply by instead? Do you have a very, very large lookup table? Now there is a solution. Get rid of multiplication AND division and just use lookup tables. That should be fast.
And now I feel ill
It was an accident in the same way that drinking and driving recklessly through a crowded schoolyard while fleeing from a bank robbery is just an "accident." Except the bank robbers still got away with a fortune and are still robbing banks.
I see cars on fire on Google traffic reports quite often. I had to make a detour earlier today because of one. Otherwise I have only seen one in my life, when my professor at Brooklyn Polytech forgot to put the oil cap back on his engine. He rode into the parking lot with a lot of smoke coming from under the hood. Then it ignited. We couldn't say for sure whether or not he was better of keeping the hood closed.
This is true. If you eliminate all the nitrogen from the air what is left is about three pounds of oxygen. Trouble is, they didn't use three pounds. Normally they used five pounds on space flights but apparently it was normal to flush out nitrogen by overpressuring with O2 before launch.
Ironically, it was Gus Grissom who's Mercury capsule sank on landing after its hatch bolts inexplicably blew. The investigation and redesign resulted in the Apollo 1 hatch, which opened inward. IIRC the cabin was not just pure O2 but was actually over-pressured for a completely different test for leaks in the cabin. [WTF?] Of course once the fire started heating the air, the overpressure would have been insanely high. No human could have opened the hatch against that force.
Studied these in Nuc Pwr School. I imagined some engineers saying to themselves "It's completely crazy, but they aren't paying us to warn them about that."
Not sure what "explosives sniffers" have to do with clocking in, unless you are complaining about yet another morale-boosting privilege lost to the burning need to increase efficiency.
In other news: doing something to excess might not be good for your health. Actually, that's not news; it's a tautology.
