    ice. on the ground. this morning.

    the cold hurtin me bones. oww.  

     

    ...even on the "F" scale still way too frigid for me.  .

    literally unimaginable cold for us, think everything in our garden would die if frost got into it 

    The F and C temperature scales cross at minus 40 (i.e. -40F = -40C),  so anything in the -35 to -45 range in either scale is almost the same temperature.  Chilly by any measure.

    complainnnt grosss  -  our breakroom has a twice filtering water machine.  i use it to fill the keurig water reservoir thingee,
    i thought all of us did.  
    just saw someone use the sink nozzle hose to fill the water thingee.  
    ugh ugh ugh  yuuuggh airport industrial park water

    lucky enough to catch rainwater for drinking here, in other parts of continental oz there is only bore water from deep wells, tastes like chemicals cos of all the lime in it I guess 

     

    doesnt taste like lime?

    lime in da coconut

     

    ground/bore/aquifer water tastes more like rocks, especially in mostly arid places like here, sometimes there are sweet springs but rainwater iz best :)

    https://nt.gov.au/environment/water/groundwater

     

    Modern rainwater forms around tiny particulates in the air.  Things like industrial smokestack pollutants.  For a different experience try mountain stream water.  aka: Goat piss and bear poop soup.  surprise   Groundwater is often tainted by septic tanks, fracking, and undesirable minerals. sad

    Best stick to beer. enlightened

    I used Hat Hair for Genesis 2 autofitted to Genesis 3 and somewhat managed to get it to work with Monique 7.  What makes the Hat hair for Genesis 3 better than autofitting the Hat Hair for Genesis 2?

    latte du jour, gingerbread latte with gingerloaf treat smiley  no treat receipts doh,
    there's a snowman head cake pop on my radar, he/she sure looks delicious

     

    minor complaint - no sprinkles , latte is happier with color sprinkles.

    is this true?

    Speed of light; c = 1.8 terafurlongs per fortnight

  • MistaraMistara Posts: 38,675

    wahzzuuuupp ?

  • nattaruknattaruk Posts: 536

    Speed of light = 299792458 m/s

    Seconds in fortnight = 1209600 (14*24*60*60)

    => light travels 362628957196800 metres in a fortnight

    Furlong is 201.168 m

    so light travels 1.802617499785 x 10^12 furlongs per fortnight

    If you're measuring the speed of light in furlongs you've been plowing too many fields! surprise

    Basil has both male and female flowers in the same plant that can be pollinated by its own parts as well as produce fertile seeds. So she/he. smiley

    Unless you twist your tongue, contract your throat and vibrate your uvula to pronounce "plough" the way it's spelled, the spelling is "plow".  Too many dead letters in "plough".  Even Monty Python knew when English spelling tradition was ridiculous.  As in the following partial sketch dialog:

    "Interviewer: Good evening. I have with me in the studio tonight one of the country's leading skin specialists - Raymond Luxury Yacht.

    Raymond: That's not my name.

    Interviewer: I'm sorry - Raymond Luxury Yach-t.

    Raymond: No, no, no - it's spelt Raymond Luxury Yach-t, but it's pronounced 'Throatwobbler Mangrove'.

    ... "

    This, of course, is why we don't spell "cow" as "cough" devil

    And why is it that the British go out of their way to pronounce the letter "H" with a clear throaty "hay" sound when reciting the alphabet, as in "Ee, Ef, Gee, Hay-ch, Eye, ..." yet when "H" appears in words it's treated like a phonem-non-grata and is totally ignored?  Going so far as to change which grammatic article is used in front of it.  In the USA we say "a house and a horse", but over the pond they say "an ouse and an orse", using "an" instead of "a" because of the vowel sound at the beginning of the next word.  Don't you just love English? yes
