Sucker shoes. Wheee, I'm a fly on the wall.
Non-complaint: Wow, Melbourne, Florida has made it into the news again for something other than a "Florida man" article. I spent my college years in Melbourne at Florida Institute of Technology. Then lived in the area for many more years. I know it intimately. I actually like it. It's almost the perfect Florida city. Not too big, not piddly small. Not too exclusive, not too underclass. Ocean, beaches, rivers & lagoons. Fishing, hunting, cattle ranches nearby. Moderate Florida weather. Modern industry, excellent education opportunities, midway between all the other major cities of Florida (Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville). You can easily watch rocket launches, and it's just a stone's throw southeast of Orlando (1 hour). And it has a decent small airport. I remember flying in and out of Melbourne Regional Airport back in the late sixties while in college. It was a tiny little airport where I had to walk out onto the tarmac past the chain link fence and go up the built-in stairs into the Boeing 727 aircraft. for a 2.5 hour flight home to Buffalo. The airport has grown over the years but I think you still don't have a jetway to the plane and still have to board the old fashioned way. But it's really not a big airport. (photo below) (Note: the big body of water in the photo is not the Atlantic Ocean, it's the Indian River Lagoon. The ocean is another mile farther east, beyond the lagoon and the barrier island.
But now, this news https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/as2-supersonic-jet-florida-hq/index.html
The area around the airport is littered with electronic industries but there is still a lot of undeveloped space despite the airport that was once outside of the city now being in the middle of the city. There has always been an airplane manufacturing company homed at that airport but it always seems that their product never gets off the ground. But never a project this big. It's always been small private jets similar to Lear Jet. But this project, if it works, could possibly put Melbourne on the map for something other than "Florida man" stories or episodes of the "Cops" TV show.
actually is helpful. good safety tip. np eatem heapem peanut oil. jimmy carter.
sso prolly pbj not so healthy
also squirrels might beat me up for peanut oil
what avocado oil? is it a silent killer ?
sooo cold. thank goodness for rapid boil tea pots. emergency hot tea.

stop n shop doesnt take order for birthday cakes no mores. another thing to blame on the virus.
wanted a mylilpony themed cake for my bday. i started whining, ' my birthday is ruined' my really nice cousin said she'd make a unicorn cake. she's a really great kid.
...have you tried to walk up a building with a glass facade, kind of like Batman and Robin did but without the Bat Rope ©?
...
...speaking of cold, the forecast for Tuesday afternoon and evening calls for frozen water from the sky down to the valley floor. That means in and around downtown, where I live. Fortunately I am pretty well stocked up for the next stretch of cold rainy weather and don't have to go anywhere.
i want to retire somewhere my bones wont ache all the time.
expecting sleet today.
set my alarm 7am. didnt recognize the sound. eek
got some dayjob stuff to do. work from no the same as a vacation. i work more hours than when i actually go there. cua i greateful to still have a job. it's backwards. they should be appreciating me more. lol
mann i could really go for a ihop breakfast.
That's really nice of her...store bought unicorn cake never has any real unicorn in it, it's usually retired circus ponies or worn out Russian mining donkeys...
Good unicorn cake should be made with fresh unicorn.
Some stores will cheap out and use frozen unicorn pellets or concentrated unicorn shavings, which is mostly hooves and snouts... and never fall for "100% UniKorn" which is a synthetic polyurethane unicorn substitute.
A reputable bakery with a fresh unicorn in the freezer is probably the best place to get a good unicorn cake... if you aren't sure check the dumpster for horns and hooves, if they have a rainbow glitter effect in sunlight, they are the real deal... that's one of the best ways to be sure.
But the really best way to be sure is to make the cake yourself... Get your unicorn fresh from a unicorn farm or from the unicorn tank at the grocery store... if they don't let you pick your own, don't buy it... they'll alway pick the one with mange or diarrhea, so you need to choose the happiest looking one... one that still seems to have hope left.
You also should make sure you have a good meat grinder or better yet a dedicated unicorn grinder at home.
Oh and when making unicorn cake at home, remember to save the tears, as they have magical healing powers and are good for removing red wine stains from wool.
Don't bother trying to sell the horn, ever since they started commercially farming unicorns, the horns really have no value... they make great coat hooks and hole pokers though... Actually I was just picking my teeth with one a moment ago... they really have a lot of uses, but nobody buys them anymore.
As far as the sonic spider thing... as far as I know, that's a big fat scam... I know several folks who swear by them, but I've seen spider webs on the ones in their house, so yeah, maybe it was a masochistic or deaf spider, but to me it's evidence they don't actually do anything... it might work on rodents though... I dunno.

The early version of the AS2 in the pictures looks cool... like the old Cold War F-104 Starfighter.
The newer version (2020 redesign) looks like the love child of a Concord and a Learjet... not bad, but not as sleek as the other earlier versions...
I wish them luck, lots of other companies have toyed with similar projects and it usually never gets past the rendered images phase.
I have a weird feeling, people will be doing suborbital traveling before any sort of airline type concord replacements can catch on, so this sort of corporate jet idea is probably the most financially feasible in the short term.
Big breakthroughs in the corporate space race could ruin supersonic passenger aircraft development.
Look into Melbourne, Florida. Much less exclusive or expensive than Sarasota or Venice.
sleet and snow, way passed pretty
Complaint: Arghhh..., my microwave oven is making mechanical rattling noises as the platter turns. 2nd day of this malady.
an omen to order take out today. quickly before the snow starts. if it hasnt already.
One of the wheels might be funkified... soak the wheel thingie (carriage?) in hot water, that works sometimes and make sure the glass is level and the trackway is unobstructed... unless it's the motor... but mostly is something to do with the wheels... sometimes the tiniest bit of gunk or a stray crumb can slow down the rotation, causing it stutter, squeak, or rattle.
shee ssa snowin now. the sky is falling the sky is falling
badda bing badda fall
Good idea. I imagine that if I were a drop of oil living in a bath of microwaves and flaking, spraying, baking, food debris for 5 years I'd get a little stiff too.
...frozen water from the sky started about 40 min ago. Not sticking to pavement as it's warmer and wet but is starting to collect in grassy areas. Local weather service issued a "winter storm warning" with about 2 inches, which for Portland is a major snow event.
Meanwhile, as we used to say in Wisconsin...
does pesto harden arteries? i think is pignoli oil. pine nuts. dont think is from pne trees. pine tree babies are acorns. it was scrat's acorn that cracked hte pangea supercontinent to the world it is today. talk about a lil guy changing the world.
snow cones!!
Acorns come from oak trees. Pinecones come from pine trees.
"Mighty oaks from little acorns grow". -- paraphrased/translated from Geoffrey Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde, 1374
Pine nuts are from pine cones, not from acorns! Acorns are from oak trees!
Dana
just noticed the RRRR game threads not around no moars
chaucer was kewl in 'a knight's tale'
not many blind poets. wouldnt be much vividry to write about.
'darkness, o what is darkness?'
the sound of rain drops falling,
humid and dampness is calling
car alarm car alarm
lourder than an angry school marm
We have a very basic, low power microwave. I wanted to replace it with a fancy overblown one whenever it stopped working. But the darn thing won't stop working. It's been just horribly reliable for more than a decade. The person who bought it for us doesn't remember buying it. Maybe he didn't buy it. Maybe that thing has always been there.
pine nuts sure are tasty.
"The mightiest and bravest elephant will always grow from the smallest and humblest of acorns." --Anaximander of Miletus, 638 BC, during the festival of Dionysus, translated by Stanley of the Bus Station, 1983 and inscribed on a dried, pressed rat.
Historians will argue that the original statement was actually a question...
"Does not the greatest and mightiest of elephants grow from the smallest and humblest of acorns?"
This is because Anaximander during his alcoholism phase (after he studied from Thales, he adopted some of the teachings of Alcoholus) was fond of putting everything in a the form of a question as he felt it challenged the listener and covered up the fact he had no idea what he was talking about because he was usually drunk.
But who are you going to believe?... A stupid boring historian or some weird hobo who makes books out of dried rats?
the snow is xtra crunchy today
...I used to have an early Amana Radar Range™ that came with the old flat I previously rented. It was pretty basic with no revolving platter. Worked perfectly fine for the 18 years I was there and even outlasted the fridge and flooring.
..but the important thing, does it taste good?
Some people say that of Rocky Mountain Oysters.
