Well that makes total sense to me. I thought it was well known that the speed of light as measured in metric units is actually determined by the placement of the pyramid, not the other way around.

It smote that one dude! Rubbing balloons in our hair will kill us!!1!!

Well now I know where he got the idea, and I doubt he could have remembered the word capacitor. So that became battery in his mind.

This would have been a decade before that.

You don’t realize how much batshit stuff you’re told as a kid and I never examined it as an adult. A lot of this shit is coming back to me and I’m realizing just how much of a thing all this crazy shit was even before it became widespread on the internet.

This unlocked a memory for me. Back when I was a kid I remember one of the religious whackos told us that the reason the ark of the covenant killed the dude that touched it was because it was a battery. He used the fact that there was no battery technology at the time to support the fact that god is real.

I know it’s off topic, but harnessing energy reminded me.

You’ve got to refrigerate it and keep it in the “Sta-Fresh” pack until ready for use.

You don’t eat mango stones? Weird.

I’m partial to El Cerrito Taqueria on 249 during the day because they only serve breakfast and lunch. Any other time (literally, it’s 24 hours a day) is Taqueria Ruby. There’s a dim sum joint in Chinatown called Golden Dumpling that’s pretty dope. It’s cash only. Thien Thanh is pretty great if you’re into Vietnamese food, also cash only. I think every decent barbecue joint has been covered by a hundred TV shows. Xochi downtown if you’re looking for upscale Oaxacan food. You can’t really go wrong downtown because they’re all fighting for your business. There’s a dude that sells tamales at the bars in Spring and between 6 and Cypress on the northwest side of town. There’s a little too much masa for my particular taste but he’s a great guy, they’re delicious, and he sells homemade red sauce and green sauce by the jar. Tony’s New York Pizza is really good and the only place I’ll go for real New York style pizza. I lived up there for a while and this scratches the itch.

If you want a little more well known, Pinkerton’s Barbecue is good. Texas de Brazil is spendy but if I died there I’d die happy. Burns BBQ is really good. Truth is really good. Don’t go to Papas or Spring Creek. They’re fine, but they’re only one step better than going to an Applebee’s.

I know there are others but it’s 6am and I was out until almost 3 drinking. Good luck!

Damn right they are!!

Happy treason day! My ancestors fought to make sure we didn’t have to live under a monarch. SCOTUS would do well to remember that.

Flank, skirt, and hanger are three (technically 4 if you count inside and outside skirt) different cuts. Skirt comes from the short plate, flank comes from the flank, and hanger comes from the diaphragm between the rib and the loin.

It is true that skirt and flank can be used almost entirely interchangeably, but they’re different.

Y’all only get to hear about our shitty politicians, and they do suck diseased horse wang. However, there’s a lot of cool shit to do and a lot of cool people to hang out with.

“Come to Texas! We have Mexican and TexMex food, delicious brisket, and some drunk idiot will blow shit up for your entertainment! Just don’t come if you’re pregnant and planning to get an abortion.”

Uncle Nub (yes, that was a real person) would be proud of me for bringing people to watch that and eat.

I’m concerned that they’re grinding the whole chuck. Chuck eye steaks are good. I see no mention of skirt steaks or hanger steaks either.

I see leather and stock has been mentioned, but not marrow yet. There’s some tasty marrow there.

I didn’t have a chance to be this year, but I’m usually that uncle. I’ve also been known to repackage individual fireworks into much larger fireworks. I used to make thermite but I’m too nervous for that now.

I do take safety precautions and the kids don’t get to play with the shit that will blow you up. If an adult wants to blow off their fingers that’s their problem.

Blasting a bucket into orbit is fun!

I’m hoping that tomorrow the owner will dress it in beachwear.

And the trashier a town is the more likely it is to have weird ordinances from back when they were trying to keep the trash out that they selectively enforce now.

I wonder if she’s pandering or if she’s a believer. Surely she’s been all around the world on planes.

I never liked her but I didn’t think she was a complete moron, just a shitty person.

No. But “anyone Killary doesn’t like commits suicide bytwo bullets in the back of their head and locks themselves in a suitcase” definitely was. I’m not claiming the shit you said never happened. I also don’t think it stopped a lot of politicians from getting elected. Sure as fuck didn’t stop Bill. The dude she was up against has about the same level of shitbaggery. Didn’t stop him.

Are you such a rabid dog that when you see that last name you lose your shit? Because we’re having a nuanced discussion here. If you can’t comport yourself like an adult please go back to the kids’ table.

My arteries are so strong that you could shoot me with the breakfast gun and I wouldn’t spring a leak.

Well according to commercials from the 80s when I was a kid that’s part of a balanced breakfast.
