Technically, a wireless guitar cord would be a string.Quote:

A sleeve becomes a string when stretched sufficiently.
Advanced string theory from our resident piscatorial master! The best of both worlds! We are all blessed!Quote:

I haven't bothered shoveling the walk, yet, and probably won't. The ground was warm enough that the walk melted most of the snow...until it cooled down enough, so now there is ice with a dusting of snow on top of it. Other places got 2-3 inches. Maybe even 4, really, but the sidewalk melted most of what hit it, so it's mostly just lumpy ice. Shoveling it wouldn't work so well, and might be counterproductive. Right now, the bit of snow provides a bit of traction.
It's still snowing, too, and might for the next several days. That's a bit of a surprise. We certainly need the snow in the mountains, and getting a bit in the valley isn't so bad, but this is kind of late in the year.
We were supposed to get snow, in South Louisiana.
I have lived below I-10 nearly all my life with a brief exception for a couple of months after Hurricane Rita. Long story short, I am not built for snow.
It looks like now it won't snow on Saturday but it might snow on Monday.
That has to happen only about once every couple decades, or less.
I know that it has snowed in Miami at least once in recorded history, so I assume that you'd have snow, being so much further north as your are, but it has to be mighty rare.
When I was a boy, I saw snow once in '94.
What is crazy is that my son was born in '14 and he has seen snow 6 times already. In the past 7 years we have had more snow than we have had in the past 30 years.
The jet steam acts like a fence between the arctic and the temperate zones. As the arctic warms, the jet stream becomes increasingly sinusoidal, which means that arctic air can dig further south over the middle of the country.
Went up skiing. That was fine. Also got back home safely, but it wasn't great. Four mashed cars on the way down the mountain. Two had mashed each other, the other two may have mashed one another, or hit trees. I wasn't clear on that.
Normally, once I get to the valley, the roads are fine. Not tonight. It was ice all the way home. Several interesting accidents on the interstate. Top speed was probably about 30 mph. Nice, steady, slow, cruise home.
One small car had managed to rear-end a semi. Both had stopped. The car was only moderately damaged. The truck...looked about how you would expect a semi to look when it was bumped at low speed by a tiny car. I'm surprised they even realized they had been hit.
Something is missing from this thread hmmmm..............

is that the kind of fishes that Shaggy is studying ? :cool:
Only half of them.
Mermaids are impractical.
Soooooo we are definitely getting snow on tomorrow. 19 degree low with 100% chance of snow.
Careful, Niya. You know how that turned out last time.
We have been getting snow for two days, now. It's rare to get snow in the valley, and even this has been melting out a bit. Some places look like they have about a foot, some places look like they lost a bunch. There was a gap in the snow, yesterday, but it's back.
It won't last much, though. The snow is supposed to turn to rain by noon, and the temperatures should get well above freezing.

My parents on the other hand got a ton of snow in Lake Charles. It is hilarious because there are pictures of friends using debris from the hurricane to scrape off ice.
Now there are videos of people using their hurricane debris for "snow boarding" :afrog:
We got loads of snow, then it warmed, the sun came out, and it was melting fast this afternoon. Eventually, it also rained, which further dampened and melted it. Still plenty of snow out there, though. With the coming forecast, it won't last more than a day or two.
Snowed today in Athens.Quote:

Nobody knows. That kind of stuff happens all the time. Frankly, I don't think the providers know, nor do the insurance companies, nor anybody else. It's pretty messed up.
and the winner of the 'Most obnoxious company' award is......... facebook - for it's blocking of news feeds to its Australian users... :p
Are you aware of the law that was recently passed in Australia that was the driving factor behind Facebook's decision? What obligation does a company have to continue offering a given service?
It seems to me like the government of Australia wants its cake and to eat it too.
I'd say that Facebook was capable of winning that award without the help of Australia.
I do like the fact that Facebook completely botched pulling out their Australian news feed.
People like doctors without borders got temporarily banned just for being tangentially related to "news" and this sort of thing happens all the time to libertarians. During the great purges of 2020 many libertarians were banned (some permanently) for holding ideas that aren't necessarily right-wing(or alt-right or neofascist, or whatever you want to call it) but weren't "mainstreamed".
Ultimately, Facebook is a private company that is serving as some kind of international platform, a role it was never designed to play. They're scrambling, improvising, and even floundering (that's when both of your eyes move to one side of your head), but what could anybody really expect?
I'm no fan, nor a member, but they sure are popular.
