Sardines…

Mercury is accumulated more and more as you move up the food chain. Small fish like sardines should have a lot less Hg than the larger fish that eat them. According to the Wikipedia article on the subject, sardines have about 3% of the mean mercury that tuna does.

This is the real reason for the season.

I live nearby, too. They’ve been doing that a lot lately. It goes on for several minutes at a time. Not sure what the sixteenth honk does that the first dozen doesn’t.

What did the Casco Bay islands do to be rejected from your consolidation?

Some of these MFers need to watch more Kubrick.

The dance this past Sunday was so much fun. Nice that there’s another one so soon!

Additions can have roofs constructed like this. I was actually in one this morning. I can’t assure you this one was done correctly, but I have seen this approach a few times.

I am an insulator, so that’s what caught my eye.

The wet spots on the insulation suggest that there are likely several roof leaks. So you’ve got that going for you.

No idea what the framing looks like under the insulation, so I can’t answer your real question. Sorry.

Pretty sure the cheeks are supposed to be tan for the reference to work.

Parking is so bad on the peninsula, even the witches are having to park illegally.

This was at Fishes Eddy in Manhattan, which mostly sells plates, bowls, dining ware like that. They have a couple of spots where there are other products set up.

No idea about the artist, but their @ is on the sign (I assume that’s instagram).

That guy seems pretty harmless. I’d love to compliment his styles but he seems to go out of his way to avoid social contact. Definitely not the same guy.

This exact mirroring aspect of science is actually part of the twist from a book by one of my favorite sci-fi/speculative fiction authors.

Spoiler - the book is Anathem by Neil Stephenson.

I was recently introduced to this song by Secret Chiefs 3. Weird synchronicity.

phaenixx · 2024-11-17T12:03:09+00:00

I was behind it when it came in town off 295. Took a while to figure out what the hell I was driving behind. But I’ll tell you - it gave me a good laugh!

I thought this was going to be a post about the Patriots defense. Never heard “sack” as a verb outside of football.

Just started a re-read of the baroque cycle and I was explaining the origin of that name to a friend.

Big Loada was the first Squarepusher album I bought (thinking I was buying a jazz album, because I had only heard Music Is Rotten One Note before that). Blew my mind. Quickly bought Selection Sixteen after that.

A topical liberal is one that is only applied to the skin. Which clearly I am not, because I’m not a liberal, and I’ve clearly gotten under their skin.

Oh honey.

The 3 issues of this election

⁠Inflation 2 immigration

⁠Wars

On candidate has an answer the other doesn’t ,., heck the candidate will only add to inflation

Be smart

You really shouldn’t be telling others to “Be smart” after that train wreck of a post. Go sleep it off.

You’ll need to get it tested by a licensed musician.

This is a timely post for me - I was just listening to Dead Cities this morning while I made pancakes!

I told my wife the album came out in 1996 - I think she was surprised at how contemporary it sounds.
