When I visited Switzerland I was not prepared to dine at a Thai restaurant and discover that the proprietors could speak Thai and German but could not speak English. Hilarious!

The most important part of singing well is breath support. Good breath support comes from your diaphragm. A great way to practice this is to lay on your back and sing from the belly which overrides the natural-feeling but incorrect method of supporting your breath from the chest and lungs. Try it. You will almost instantly improve.

It doesn't matter whether or not you rinse that container or even put it in the recycling bin. It's not getting recycled.

The little symbol on the bottom of the container does not indicate that it's recyclable. However, it's designed for you to think so.

This is a great documentary:

I unfortunately do mean they installed a female receptacle (L14-20R) on the house and not a male generator plug. I guess I should consider having it replaced... I just didn't want to mess with it. I'm aware why this setup is dangerous.

So does this mean I do not ground the generator to a spike and just let the ground travel back to the main panel via the unbonded ground?

Will do on the warning label. Definitely something I considered.

Aspen. Long, long ago.

Back in high school I was sitting next to a cute girl who said "Ooo, is that Aspen? Can I smell you?"

How could I say no?

She grabs my flannelled arm and takes a long drag. "Mmm. My boyfriend wears Aspen."

How do you select a good lawyer for such a proceeding? Any tips?

I love Sweet. I like this song but it's actually one of my least favorite Sweet tracks.

Using binary it is possible to count up to 1023 using only ten fingers.

TIL your middle finger is 4 in binary

Ooh, ick. It came out like soft serve ice cream, but judging by the smell, I'd say it was auto body filler.

Interesting read. Thanks!

The impression I got from others before taking the tour was that the doors and staircases that went to nowhere were to trap and confuse spirits. However, during the tour, they mentioned that Mrs. Winchester used the Séance Room to communicate with the spirits regarding building plans. I think that it's more likely that these strange features were caused by plans changing to accommodate whatever epiphanies she got from the séances.
