My insurance is so shitty right now I’m not paying for a sleep study. I know why I sleep shitty. It’s cause I have a big old herina that fucking hurts and kinks my body up due to compensation. Wish I could take Aleve, but it gives me heartburn for days.

Also, can’t take most long acting meds since I don’t have a colon.

Yup, but the alternative is drinking myself to death or getting hooked on fentanyl/heroin.

I try to work hard enough every day that 2-4 ibuprofen put me to sleep for 6 hours.

It is a balancing act. Uclers vs acceptable level of sleep deprivation.

I worked at the old wiffle horse at Jordan and University. There was a skid row motel behind it. Might have been the Scottish Inn. When they tore down the motel all the roaches moved into the restaurant. They tore it down and built the new one that’s there now.

La Alameda used to be right there as well on University. They had coin op black and white TVs in the booths. Watched the Columbia disaster on one.

Your analysis is spot on.

I worked as a cook at Wiffle Horse when I was a kid and had just left home. They put us up in a hotel once in preparation for an ice storm. I fucked a waitress that was much older than me, crazy party.

We recently moved out of the south. During the moving process I made sure the kid and I ate there enough to get tired of it.

Damn. It had the drowned prison ghost and the casket bobbing up while the two guys were fishing. I need to get a copy of this. Forgot all about it until just now. It was genuinely frightening in an eerie way.

I like mine jello shot style. (2-4 every night, chronic pain management and healthcare sucks in America.)

I’m starting to think it is part of an insulator. It’s just so big to be one. It’s almost double the size of the the vintage 1950s one above. Maybe one section of a huge high voltage assembly?

The surface is too rough for use with food. It’s like small gravel or big sand at the surface.

It’s absolutely huge if it’s an insulator.

Obviously I can block them. I wouldn’t call bot spam a community, however.

Coil was originally aluminum, so it had a higher resistance. Even with a ‘perfect’ wind, the resistance might still be low.

Scramble should be fine, it’s a DC application. So long as i get close enough: it should work.

Yup. She wants to help her people and the most effective way of doing it is by educating the kids.

Giving books to children is a super effective way to spend the money. They can educate themselves out of the hole.

It’s actually really subversive. Smart lady. She plays the game quite well. She can’t take an open liberal stance as she would be marginalized, but educating children is difficult to attack.

I have no doubt that she’s a closeted liberal in the south. It’s often how you have to be to survive.

I was a fundamentalist. (Raised in it.)

I actually read the bible and studied it. No longer a Christian.

Funny how that works.

Thompson Chain Reference KJV represent.

The tamale lady is like the perfect example of what we were taught about the idealized USA and immigration as kids.

They fuck with the tamale lady and they have no idea the hell they’ll unleash.

Hay is generally cut from fallow fields in late summer/early fall. It contains sugars in the stalks as well as the seeds/grain of whatever grasses it is cut from. It is used to feed livestock year round and is the primary feed in winter. It is often supplemented by grain or feed.

Straw is basically an industrial byproduct and is the leftover stalk from grain harvesting. Usually produced from wheat after harvest. Used as bedding.

Real time operating systems are important for CNC machines and other industrial controls. Been a while since I kept up with Linux CNC and the open source control world, but I think this may have big implications for motion controls including printers.

This is why the big name CNC controls are mostly proprietary OS like FANUC, HAAS, Siemens, Mazak. Lot of them have Mitsubishi down in the guts. Heidenhain has Linux, at least in the top layer, iirc. Citizen had windows in the top layer.

So you are or were a smoker? How many years?

Says someone that doesn’t understand the first thing about smoking or nicotine addiction.

Die Hard is the best Christmas movie. My son demands we watch it every year.
