…i tie back my hair or tuck it behind my ears when i eat…

…bin laden won…

…ah, i can’t recall whether rivendell included two separators, but it was also packaged in sub-boxes with separate instruction books, which made teamwork a snap…

…we (my wife + myself) were so disappointed by barad-dûr afterward!..we didn’t buy it, so we haven’t built it, but based on the photos it’s neither inspired nor crafted to the same exceptional standard as rivendell…

…why does it include three pry-tools?..

…came here to post the same: we have a lot of flagship lego sets but rivendell is an unparalleled masterpiece, so exceptional that it makes almost everything else seem unworthy of shelf space by comparison…

…homo sapiens sapiens: so wise we named ourselves twice…

…so the thing is that, after accounting for time dilation, light is instantaneous and perhaps better-described as the speed of causality…even a ‘perfect stick’ comprising quantum-crystal wonder-material can’t move before it’s pushed, so you’d find that it, too, transmits information at the speed of light…

…besides, potatoes are a new world crop: danish probably developed while eating turnips…

…just give him a sharpie and let him doodle on a big wall map; problem solved…

do you do that with greater-than symbols?

…ah, looks like you do; good to know…

…i think the early stages will be fuzzy over the next four years but the `states will be fully engaged within six…

…that looks pretty modestly-sized in the foreground, honestly…

(this is a huge red flag:)

…i think it’s just a poorly-ripped recording; they weren’t out of synch in original broadcast…

…a lot of folks love bill nye!..he’s not my cup of tea but he’s certainly more widely-known thirty years later…

(the newspaper feature started in `91)

…nah, bill nye was a cheap beakman knock-off formatted for terminally-ADHD millenials…

…multi-whole-grain sourdough and way more dairy than i should be eating…

…my experience before ‘high-efficiency incandescent’ halogens was the same: i have thirty-year-old proper halogen lamps either still going strong or which have been replaced only once over that period…these little A19 halogens, though, have an such absurdly-short duty cycle that they’re viable only by virtue of stocking up dozens of cases for pennies on the dollar when they were phased out a couple of years ago…

…i do hope that we have respectable consumer bulbs available in perhaps five years after those few hundred halogen bulbs are gone, but i’m not optimistic as poor spectra appear inherent to LED technology and the market seems to have settled on ‘good-enough’…proper incandescent bulbs are of course still available for specialty applications, but they’re not easy to get…
