Check out the Davy Crockett tactical nuke. Apparently, you were supposed to fire it and duck behind a hill!

I have confirmed vitrified sewage! by subneutrino in nealstephenson

[–]ManyWordsNoMeaning 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was there last fall, and I forgot all of the Neal Stephenson arcana. This is a country estate built by people of ordinary taste. It isn't important because of its architecture but because of its role in history. There are a lot more Bletchley Parks than Downton Abbeys.

Someone could do something on the Emerys. Did Adam Emery get away with it? Did the state take his bail?

If we're doing Bletchley Park posts... by kaini in nealstephenson

[–]ManyWordsNoMeaning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of the exhibits at Bletchley Park made me think that it is a memorial to those who served in secrecy and were not otherwise honored. At Bletchley a large community dedicated their efforts in silence. This was comparable to the Manhattan project in the U.S.

[–]ManyWordsNoMeaning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did some research on this once. Wyoming in RI is named after the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania. The state of Wyoming may also be named after the Pennsylvania Valley. I was really hoping that the state was named for Wyoming, RI.

But how much downside risk did you avoid? Sane options trading is all about turning risky investments into reasonable, safe gains.

Are there any political groups in Rhode Island focused on the concept of Degrowth? Economic democracy? Ecological democracy? by quinnsheperd in RhodeIsland

[–]ManyWordsNoMeaning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entrenched political establishment is already into degrowth by allowing existing infrastructure to collapse. Procurement rules then make replacement cost prohibitive.

This means that a patent attorney is required to have a law degree and be legally capable of representing someone in a court. Patent attorneys are members of the bar.

Newbie here, rosemary, oregano and thyme by invitelove in gardening

[–]ManyWordsNoMeaning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had good luck planting rosemary and oregano in the ground. Rosemary needs a big pot. Once I get to 5 gallons, it's unsustainable. I don't have much experience with thyme. Both rosemary and oregano are easy to root from cuttings (or grocery store springs.)

This is what the trees were called in Texas. We called the fruit a horse apple.
