I’m sensing it may be time for an open thread, in which to share links and bicker. While you mull, here’s a lesson in persistence and redoubling your efforts. Oh, and some totally harmless party balloons.
If the cravings are too much, you can always poke through the reheated series and greatest hits.
After that unpleasant business with the…
the drummer deserved it …
Hydrogen burns with a clear, colourless flame…
It burns with a pale blue flame visible in low light conditions, like 1900 on an overcast day.
It can burn orange if the air and hydrogen are not mixed completely .
Hydrogen requires something like as low as around 4% oxygen to ignite which is considerable less than gasoline (there is a reason why hydrogen is used as a rocket fuel).
…suffered a catastrophic loss of lift…
Caused by the rapid and explosive burning of the hydrogen, the thing would stay aloft as long as the hydrogen cells were intact and the frame in one piece (which is why it came down stern first as the forward cells remained intact longer).
the drummer deserved it…
No music lover would have done differently. And besides, there’s a certain edgy glamour in being known as Darleen “back-from-the-Big-House” Click. Shank-mistress and heavy-for-hire.
Look how defiant I am, Daaad*!

I’m hoping someone can make houmous.
That’s what I just signed up to make for the office summer “picnic” luncheon. Would be no trouble at all to take that jar and whip up a nice spread from it; it’s the least I could do. And if you fire up that kitchen flamethrower and aim it at those expired breadsticks, get ’em a wee bit toasty, it’ll knock the stale right off ’em.
Although, given my Person of Pallor condition, wouldn’t making houmous be considered Cultural Appropriation? It’s so hard to keep up with all this woke business.

Is there price list? Asking for a friend, of course.

This is, I believe, the same team that got their collective tuchases kicked by a 15 & Under boys soccer team, not to be confused with the Australian women’s team, the Matildas, to whom the same thing happened, but hey, there are no gender differences, except the boys aren’t being paid as much as the wxmyn. #agegroupandgenderwagegap

She has business cards and everything.
Just remember to burn the receipts.

It’s the same with any team sport which involves speed and strength: a decent u15 boys’ team will beat an elite womens’ team.
I say that as someone who coached girls’ and womens’ teams and who took great pride in their achievements and enjoyed watching them play.
BREAKING NEWS FROM THE WOKE US COLLEGE FRONT: Gibson’s Bakery wins US$33 million punitive damages against Oberlin College.
https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/06/oberlin-college-hit-with-maximum-punitive-damages-capped-at-22-million-by-law-in-gibsons-bakery-case/#more-286093
This is on top of the $11.2 million compensatory damages the bakery has already been awarded. The amount will probably be reduced due to state regulatory caps,
Oberlin College has previous in these pages.
Oberlin College has previous in these pages.
Indeed it does.
Though my favourite incident was when one of Oberlin’s student Mao-lings, a lady named Della Kurzer-Zlotnick, was emotionally devastated by a two-letter word that was apparently unknown to her, and which she later described as “violent and triggering language.”
I thought the statutory limit for punitive dmg was double the compensatory, ie Gibson was awarded the total max of $33MM.
Hopefully the dean’s recent pleas of poverty were genuine.

There’s a very high probability that the Mao-ling in question has had very little exposure to said word in the entirely of her little lifetime. Too many college students today seem to be highly cosseted, indulged humans, who think the world owes them whatever they want.

…which she later described as “violent and triggering language.”
My sister-in-law was going to raise her children without such “violent and triggering language.” She also planned on raising them as vegetarians and they weren’t allowed to play with guns or “war” toys.
Well, the terrible twos hit and suddenly the language wasn’t so “violent and triggering” anymore. In fact, the word “No” became fairly common around her household. Meanwhile, grandma and grandpa introduced their granddaughter to bacon and that was the end of vegetarianism. As for guns, her toddler son made a shooting sound every time he picked up an object…whether it even remotely resembled a gun or not.
