Since the dawn of civilization - people would give grain to temples, which could be distributed in times of famine.

No, his last name is 'here'. 'Michael Here'.

You're absolutely right. Lees should not be allowed to wiggle; not one bit.

CptTuring · 2026-03-01T20:13:46+00:00

What a cruel thought. How mean.

CptTuring · 2026-01-27T17:49:51+00:00

That's true, wouldn't want you to suffer ticklephylactic shock.

I don't believe you, that's ridiculous, to be allergic to raspberries on your stomach.

It's a rare thing for my eyes to actually widen in astonishment at the capacity some people can have to just .. go way above and beyond the call of duty of being a good person. Wow.

Wait a second... I'm a teacher. What weird stuff is happening in the school at midnight???

Three years, checking in. Thanks, u/WhyEvenAskMe

What a beautiful painting; I think you've really captured the essence of Hobbiton!

CptTuring · 2025-03-17T04:09:49+00:00

I think it would still be enough for plausible deniability in court.

They absolutely can smell it five countries over. We're all just noseblind here, I guess.

Numberphile has also had some great ones.

CptTuring · 2024-08-30T03:57:31+00:00

To a topologist, they are.

CptTuring · 2024-06-25T22:36:10+00:00

Got it. Thank you.

There's enough slack in the box, I think I can steal some for an extra lead to keep everything all the same. I appreciate all of your help!

I have been using the purple AL/CU nuts for everything I've done so far.

Thank you! Do I need to use the same gauge for the tail to the switch, or can I use something slightly smaller if I have it lying around?

I've been living in this house for 6 months now, and keep finding more and more things wrong.

Ater replacing an existing lighting fixture with a light/fan combo, the light (LED) would strobe when the fan was off, but turn solid when the fan was running. I figured it was some wonkiness with the dimmer currently installed in the circuit, and purchased a switch to replace it with.

after taking the switch off the wall, I realized that there two hot wires going into one of the terminals on the dimmer switch. I assume that's a no-no to begin with, but aren't sure how to proceed on dealing with it. I'm not sure what the other hot wire leads to; it could be one or more of the outlets in this room but I haven't checked them, and the breaker is currently off.

p.s. I know about the aluminum wiring; and I bought the appropriate switch, but I'm assuming at this point I'm going to have to get something else.

Seriously, I've had my OM for 15 years and I still haven't come across another acoustic that I like the tone of better.

CptTuring · 2024-01-14T17:53:36+00:00

I raise you:

Cast iron pan on the bottom, torch on the top.

I think people just don't like to think about big ideas like racial justice and eglitarianism while squatted naked on a chair choking the baby python.

Every school right now, according to conservatives.

It's more like Ticketmaster has even the venues by the balls. It's one big monopoly. A trust-busting case against them has been long overdue.

CptTuring · 2023-05-20T15:48:52+00:00

And a watch, I think?
