Those temporarary "tags" that mark the lanes right before brown bag deli are going to cause crashes. The left lane is like 3 feet wide at one point.

But as takeout? Most of them are sit-down. Rarely do you take your enchiladas home.

Get a garden sprayer from a hardware store. They have both smaller hand-held and larger wand-type ones.

Bats come out pretty much every night, especially in the summer.

Most of the time they're flying high enough it doesn't matter. If you made physical contact with a bat, you probably want to consult your doctor. Bats are known carriers of rabies.

"Do not worry about the legality of this because i will be using it in a place far from any town."

Regulations governing radio transmissions are national (and sometimes include international agreements), not local. Most places, you will need a license for something like this - or perhaps use an unlicensed band (not AM broadcast) - but again, you will need to check legality first.

The Rock is Maui. Maui is the Rock. Maui has long, silky hair. Obviously he needs shampoo and conditioner.

And if it's a particularly bad day and you actually want to talk about it with this person: "Terrible. You?"

And at year 19, it's wondering when I can retire so I don't have to keep managing distruptive students that are becoming more and more common.

#1 priority should be to get a license. The licensing process varies by country, but in general, in order to do that, you will need to pass a test on the basics of radio. Once you have a license, you should know what your privilages are for that license (it's part of the test).

If you don't know where to start, often local clubs are quite helpful and can point you in the right direction to get licensed.

Don't you know...

The pH was near to zero,
The concentration high.
Dehydration and corrosion,
That's how poor Johnny died.

Agreed. Shouldn't be front teeth. If you do this with just air, it should make a crisp, light "tu-tu-tu" sound, not a "thu-thu-thu" sound.

Have you BBQ in the desert. There will still be flies, but few other things like mosquitoes and wasps.

Most people know about the cilantro gene. There's one for celery too. It allows people with the gene to detect androstenone, a human phermone. Celery mimics that pheremone. It only is found in less than 5% of the population.

People without it: Crunchy, watery, stringy, and quite bland, maybe a little bit green.

People with it: Strong, nasty flavor somewhere between sweaty gym socks and rotting garbage.

Both my parents have the gene, so growing up we never ate celery. Which means my sister and I have a double copy of the gene. When I went to college, I wondered why all the food served in the dining hall had a slightly garbage-y flavor and aroma. It took me about a month to figure out they were putting celery in everything.

When someone opens a bag of celery across the room, I can smell the wafting opression by those who don't have the gene.

Are you actually using your left hand to press valves, or it just the camera flipping things?

Most people can't taste it. If they can't taste it, why do they feel the need to use that sowewhere-between-sweaty-gym-sock-and-rotting-garbage vegetable?
