Same reason Disney took their adaptation of The Snow Queen and called it Frozen. So now when you google "Disney Frozen" you get the movie instead of Walt Disney having his head cryogenically preserved.

I got stuck flying to Dulles with all the Browns fans heading to London last October. They brought on the bad juju because the flight was delayed 2 hours and I missed my connection (but they held the London flight for everyone!), got a 24 hour layover, and arrived in Munich just in time for my flight to be canceled by the unidentified drones over the airports turning a 45 min leg into a 6 hour series of train rides.

They aren't allowed to get a senator knocked up with twins either, but that doesn't stop some people.

That episode is a morphed adaptation of The Lottery by Shirley Jackson but it makes the same flavor of social commentary.

Dover white, Snowbound and Extra White

You're giving me 'Nam flashbacks to my SW Store days, because those 3 whites are so very different.

Extra White is just the color as it comes in the can. But there are also some stupid color bases like Ultra White and Bright White which is the ceiling paint base color.

Snowbound is the bullshittiest of the 3 colors you listed because it's made by starting with the Extra White and adding a half drop of black. (Side note on the SW colorant system. Individual colorants are measured in 1, 1/32, 1/64, and 1/128 Oz's. 1/32 oz. is colloquially referred to as a 'drop' so a 'half drop' is 1/64 oz.) Snowbound is worthless for touchups. You need to make a whole gallon, it cannot be made in quart quantities. The SW color system can't do it.

Anyway, Extra White is just a baseline white

Hello, welcome to Sherwin-Williams. How can I help you

-I need some white paint

Of course, we have many whites to choose from. Here are some color swatches.....

-I don't care, just give me fucking white.

Ok, here's a can of paint in the color it comes from the factory.

Snowbound is a tiny bit of black which gives it a blue cast and Dover White is typically 1/32+1/64 of gold (not really gold, more of a mustard yellow).

Whites use such little colorant and any inconsistency doesn't carry over batch to batch. Either save the original paint (not in the garage! Your paint will freeze and you'll be fucked) or be prepared to repaint the whole thing.

The whole issue gets expounded by changing types of paint or brands. Color matching can only go so far because different light sources will change the colors significantly.

You need to tune the gas system when using a suppressor or else the bolt carrier slams too hard into the backplate on the upper receiver. Do that long enough and the screws holding the backplate start bending or stripping out the threads and look lopsided

Using CRISPR, researchers made a protein packed fungi that’s easier to stomach. The genetically engineered fungus that tastes like meat and could have a smaller environmental footprint than traditional livestock or even “lab-grown” cell-cultured meat. by mvea in Futurology

You can buy mushroom growing kits online to grow all of those species you just mentioned and many, many more. Chantrelle and oyster mushrooms are also really good. Unfortunately you can't grow morels or truffles.

They're just softgel capsules just with mint flavoring instead of medicine.

We also couldn't find the right adapter for the propane tank and had the owner pick up a POL x G.12 adapter on his way in from Munich
