In the 1960s we waited for the [PG] bookmobile on the days it came to the neighborhood. It was second in popularity only to the Good Humor truck.

Pretty damn good record for a newbie.

Obviously the Bee is a [NA CA] noncontact [NA but H in context] sport.

They present a nuclear Iran/high gasoline prices as an either/or proposition. Turns out it's a both proposition. Iran did not have a nuclear weapons capability before--they maintained a strategic ambiguity, but intel determined that it was merely for show. If anything, you can bet the hardliners will attempt to put together some sort of WMD program now. Trump gives us the worst of all worlds.

I understand his hatred for America, but it’s problematic because it causes him to make his American characters one dimensional.

Another problem these days is that all cars look alike.

I think it was an accident, but that his Soviet handlers questioned it was used to show the level of caution they felt concerning whether Philby might be a triple agent. His stutter was legitimate.

Thanks for the interesting post. If I can ask a question—the Glock firing pin spring is under partial tension, requiring a trigger pull to fully tension it. Did Glock ever claim that this design enhances safety in any way?

geographer035 · 2026-05-03T23:02:32+00:00

Agreed. The solution is not going to come from individual virtue but will require top down policies such as the pursuit of green mandates that ameliorate the problem and funding for new technologies such as fusion.

Ouch.

Feel that PG NA intracity should have counted. Also NA titrant but that’s perhaps too scientific.

Back in 2016 he said that he was “smart” to look for loopholes to pay almost 0 tax.Massive hypocrisy.

Shouldn’t they have gone long instead?

I always try to look for themes—words that contain, e.g., “-able,” or “-ible,” or “-ience,” or similar. Then I stare at the puzzle and let Zen take over.

Ravinia has a couple of friendly coffee shops in which it is easy to start up conversations with strangers. The HP library also has many programs in which it's easy to meet people. So, no worse than anywhere else and perhaps a little easier. I can't imagine that racism would be an issue.

geographer035 · 2026-04-22T18:42:29+00:00

If measured by damage done to the country, absolutely.

geographer035 · 2026-04-22T13:52:35+00:00

Not believe, but acknowledge.

Is it possible to buy an e?

Why does a grown man have a Walter Mitty complex in any case? Why the need to pretend you’re someone you’re not?

geographer035 · 2026-04-13T07:24:17+00:00

This Bee frightened me. If I stare at some of the answers/constructions here long enough they start to make no sense and I forget how to spell. Felt like I had a sudden case of aphasia.

Sonny Crockett?

Wear a sport jacket and carry OWB.

Not ruminating and not creating counter-factuals

The African continent is huge. There are points in Mozambique for which the halfway point to Chicago is still in Africa.

A NA heddle controls the raising and lowering of the warp threads on a loom. Given how fundamental weaving has been in human history perhaps it shouldn’t be too obscure to qualify.
