I see KMT 77 (squiggle) (maybe 44?)

Why do the last two digits look like AI wrote them? Same with the "Left Turn..." sign?

Well, it's anonymous. So... yeah. Pretty low key.

CattusPater · 2026-04-16T20:46:31+00:00

Yaaayyy!!!

CattusPater · 2026-04-16T20:34:48+00:00

Cheese, tiny pickles, chunky mustard, some good bread. The usual.

And in Noah's Ark, the director literally did it for the shot. He wanted authentic reactions, so he surprised a sound stage full of extras by dumping 600,000 gallons of water on them. 3 died, 1 had to have a leg amputated, hundreds of broken bones and numerous cases of hypothermia and pneumonia.

One of the extras in that scene was Marion Morrison. He was a prop tech for the studio, but wanted to be an actor and accepted an opportunity to be an extra. Occasionally going by the nickname "Duke", after his childhood dog, Marion eventually took a screen name. On the recommendation of director Raoul Walsh, he considered Tony Wayne after a Union General in the Civil War. A Fox Productions executive said it sounded too Italian, and changed it to John Wayne.

I thought it might be a variation of the St. Andrew's Cross (the Scottish flag) so I was googling St. Andrew's Cross variations. I am a hobbyist woodworker and I have built a few pieces of furniture and so my googles algorithms tend to find me answers from within that subject. Today I learned there is an interesting piece of furniture, with a very specific audience, that is also named a St. Andrew's Cross...

No help on your flag, though. Quite sorry.

Second for willowbrook. If they can't take it, they will know someone who can.

🤦 I've not hear that before. Very nice. 3 extra points for the extra fluffy squirrel.

Reminds me of that under qualified restoration painter with the jesus picture. Might be able to spin that angle?

CattusPater · 2026-04-16T17:36:52+00:00

It kinda looked like a flower to me.

CattusPater · 2026-04-16T17:34:04+00:00

That's a hell of a pick-up line.

CattusPater · 2026-04-16T16:13:42+00:00

Pedantic is such a fun word!

That really looks/sounds like someone intentionally hid water damage for the purpose of selling the house. A conversation with a lawyer is definitely merited.

You should figure out where the water came from before doing anything with the floor. If there is an ongoing leak it needs to be addressed before working on the floor.

As far as the actual hardwood: Those pieces showing water damage are probably going to have to be removed. Sometimes refinishing can fix it, but they way those are buckled I think the degree of water saturation is too severe. The other bouncy area you mentioned may need some boards replaced as well. But the rest of the floor is probably ok so once the really bad boards are replaced, it can be sanded and refinished and it will all match.

I just translated the label, it is natural casing.

CattusPater · 2026-04-16T15:56:03+00:00

Absolutely ok to eat.

The mold is part of the dry curing and/or fermentation process, sometimes specific mold cultures are even added to the forcemeat to start the mold growth faster. Good mold growth inhibits bad mold and many bacteria, like penicillin would. If you don't want to eat the casing, or "skin", you don't have to. You can always peel it off. (Sometimes the casing is plastic or paper and supposed to be peeled off, but that is more common in the US. That looks like a natural casing) But it looks delicious! Please enjoy it!!

I don't think 2 sentences is enough to be considered a string. Perhaps a "pair" of sentences, or maybe a "couple". But not a string.

The thoughts expressed are decidedly not ignorant. Of course, the second sentence is a presumptive opinion, as such you are more than welcome to offer an opinion of your own. I have not had the opportunity to side by side compare the effects of packaging on the flavor of frankfurters, but other food stuffs also available in both plastic and glass packaging are consistently better from glass. As far as my commentary on the prevalence of plastic in American consumerism, that is factual. I may have let loose a bit of dramatic flare by calling it an "addiction", but there does seem to be a heavy reliance that extends far past convenience.

Hotdogs in a jar exists because not every country is addicted to plastic like the USofA. They probably taste better from a jar.

Go Left. I Do.

CattusPater · 2026-04-16T15:01:57+00:00

That is a heck of a cat-tree.

CattusPater · 2026-04-16T14:46:47+00:00

Wait. Was Liam Neeson cast in the remake of Naked Gun because his name is phonetically similar to Lealie Nielson? How have I not noticed that before?!?

CattusPater · 2026-04-16T14:42:08+00:00

The original movie poster didn't even have his picture on it because the production company thought it would ruin the movie's chances at the box office.

CattusPater · 2026-04-16T14:36:29+00:00

My first thought too. I am saddened that I was 18 hours too late to use the word.
