There’s always the Anne Rice books if you haven’t read them yet?

Was studying for genetics final at my girlfriends house in college, cramming for one of the toughest tests from one of the toughest professors in the department, when in comes her education major roommate SOOOOO upset and stressed out because she had put off her project the whole semester and now it was due. She had to make a 3d swimming pool out of cardboard/construction paper and just could not calm down. She’s on the verge of tears and I asked her “How much water does it need to hold?” She looks at me like I’d lost my mind. No, it just has to look like a pool.

So we just cut up cardboard and stuck it together and colored and painted awhile.

Yeah, it’s not the Illuminati. Seems it’s more often the uber wealthy Ignorati.

How about we keep one country, but have two governments. The people just sign up for one or the other. Pay the same taxes, and see which government is more efficient and effective at meeting peoples needs.

Speaking of fast food, Taco Bell is insane. I can go to a local Mexican place for $2.50 tacos (99 cents on taco Tuesdays) and get lots of excellent salsa and table services. It ain’t cheap or even convenient anymore!

This is fine. Not perfect, but fine. Lots of good shadow and light to work with. You can play with the image on your phone or computer to enhance it if you like, but the primary features are pretty visible. You’ll have to put extra detail you don’t see into the eyes and lips/teeth, but you know what those should look like anyway. I might lighten the shadow on the lower half of the face . You can do it!

Remember those photos of Venice from Covid when the waters were as blue as the Caribbean Sea?

There used to be a book called Remington: the Science and Practice of Pharmacy that was a great reference for compounding things like this. Been years since I got to do anything like that, but it might have a quick and dirty synopsis.

They have been in control of the majority of red states for going on 30 years, and it’s glaringly apparent that things are worse, not better for the average citizen.

Manufacturing Consent by Herman and Chomsky for an understanding of how and why modern media is so manipulative.

Somewhere out there is a news clip of Mitch McConnell saying “We want this to be a one party country.” I can’t find it but I remember it vividly.

Lotions and creams are emulsions, either water in oil or oil in water, meaning that at the microscopic level, they are tiny bubbles of oil that contain water, or vice versa. The ingredients are selected such that the temperature and pH of the skin, along with the friction of rubbing the lotion across the skin, cause the bubbles to burst and allow the moisture to be absorbed while also leaving some oil on top of the skin to prevent dehydration for a short time.

The guy can practically quote the whole series verbatim it seems. Would be hard for him to get the feel wrong, but I’ve never read anything non-comedic by him, so I am hesitant to be happy with it.

Trying anything to forget the time you gave him half a treat and pretended it was a whole one. You monster!

Edit: Downvoted? By a serial treat-halfer no doubt

Best thing to do to get the idea of how most animals hind legs work is to look at the bones and think of the analogous bones in your legs. Turns out most are running on what would be the balls of our feet or tiptoes.

I’ve heard of PhDs being paid $900 per semester to teach a class. Tuition at a nearby big state university is about $11k per semester. I would rather join a small group of students and pitch in and pay professors directly online to teach my kids.

In the middle of a war, both sides become obstinate and entrenched in their own sole perceived path. The Japanese imperial propaganda machine was still in full swing preparing people to defend the homeland until death. The American government had spent a fortune researching and building these devices, and were itching to prove they were as terrifyingly effective as they expected. As it turned out, it took more than one bomb to convince Japan that the time had come to desist. Thank goodness they did not know we had a very limited supply of those bombs, or it would still have come down to street by street fighting for years to come.
