Bibliophile Thread
Hey @Gaucho do you know why the German versions of The Expanse books omit the S.A. from the author(s)' names?
I'm assuming it's a reference to the Sturmabteilung, but could it be something else?

Yeah, I thought about it but ultimately it would have made my wife's work life very difficult. Not worth it.

The all of a sudden tryout was a passive aggressive way my son's baseball coach used to get him off the team. My son basically was done with baseball and it was very evident to the entire team and coaches that his heart wasn't into it. The team played their last game of the season in late June, and ...

Crazy **** going on at a neighboring high school. Two days in a row, bomb threats were called into the school. The twist today was that one call went to one police department that said there was an active shooter on campus. At the same time, another call went to the county police and said there was ...

Shōgun, episode 10 - the finale They stuck the landing. Letting Yabu linger for those few extra moments was cold, but earned. I'm glad the showrunners held their bravery and refrained from the pointless spectacle of a giant battle sequence, and please do not do a Season 2. A flower is only a flower...

tifosi77's thread of Musk
I logged in to Twitter for a quick drive by and noticed that Morgan Freeman was trending. Uh oh! Is he promoting a new film? Or worse, has he passed away?
Nope, he praised Elon Musk. So Elmo goosed the algo or the fanboys came out and did it for him. Nice.

My wife got an orchid from one of her students at the end of the last school year. It bloomed for a few months and we just continued to water it...very infrequently. Like sometimes a month between waterings :lol: I've almost thrown it out a couple of times, but the leaves have remained green. Well t...

That particular machine was the first I used, and when it jammed, the staffer cleaned it out while I got the print job started on another machine. When that went down with the bad feeder gear, I went back to the first machine - which was newly cleaned. They do get heavily used and they have reels an...

So stage one (the lid) is done: https://i.imgur.com/aU75k2u.jpg Very durable, solid feel to it. Lots of issues with printing, of course. First of all, I picked a blue filament to print with. This was an older filament and had absorbed a lot of humidity which clogs the nozzles. They have to dehydrate...

It was closed somewhere between the stadium and the station before you go up to Mount Washington last summer when we were there. Same place?

In 12 years. With sliding doors and the heat down here that kills batteries.Nah, none near me. Also, you having to replace a battery three times is one hell of an endorsement.
I have one in our '17 Accord that's 4 years old and still strong.

Do you have O'Reilly's up there? I've had great luck with their batteries and the warranty is great. I bought one battery for our Odyssey and they replaced it 3 times for free.

Did one of yinz use online landscaping design software? I remember someone somewhere (which means here or reddit) using software that pulled in Google Earth data that allowed you to map out landscaping plans, using sun info, local vs. native plants, etc. Does this sound familiar?

We are flying Southwest out to LA in June. They have changed our flights twice already. One was a gate and slight time change, the next change was a completely different connecting city.
What do I need to start worrying about with Southwest? I've never flown with them before.

Yeah, it's like 80 grams for the base. They charge us $.066 per gram.
1:20 on the lid and 3:40 for base. As the makerspace is setup for often derelict students, I have to be in the room monitoring it for most of the time unless I can pull the faculty card with the makerspace director.

Ah, that's what I thought. I'd read elsewhere that "no coaching changes were expected" but I guess that just means Sully, who's extension hasn't kicked in yet.
