Friday Ephemeraren’t
As I’m still sniffling and wheezing, you’re getting a chance to throw together your own pile of links and oddities in the comments. I’ll set the ball rolling with something that cats don’t do; a bacon-fat ratio of note; news from Katmai National Park’s Fat Bear Week; via Fnord, a chap doing this better than you do; some hatchlings of note; and a film about Nepal’s psychotropic honey hunters.
Oh, and a miracle breakthrough in grease-avoidance technology.
a) A modest proposal;
b) World class troll;
c) Some San Franciscan wound up in NY.
Pick only one.
Get well soon!

Australia – it’s not just the animals that can kill.

The cat framed him. 🙂
Morning, all.
The cat framed him. 🙂
It’s hard to imagine a cat expressing an approximation of guilt, or “Please don’t be cross, I’m adorable really.”
Laser blasters.
You will be forced to believe.
Some people are more accustomed to habitual pretence.

Blimey. And it glows in the dark. A level-10 yarn-mistress walks among us.

My brother got bitten by a baby croc once. It was large enough to give him a long-lasting scar. True story – he was working at a croc sanctuary at the time.
Goddamn lazy-ass speed of light.

Speaking of costumes of note, stolen form Ace, another costume of note…
Thanks for posting those costumes.

Oops. 🙂
Today on “What’s My Line ?”

I’m tired of all this diet-shaming. Some people just have unique nutritional needs. Others just have refined palates that make it excruciating to consume anything except some tender, succulent long veal.

Oh, admit it, it is your own Frankenstein’s monster. You have created here such a cornucopia of crazy that we mere mortals who do not have a dedicated army of henchlesbians to tabulate and cross reference in a CRAY (how appropriate) mainframe all the links are bound to miss some on occasion.
Meanwhile, placing cochlear implants in babies is an act of violence. They can’t consent, you see.
I’m definitely going to have to start taking attendance.

I’m very anxious to see how I did on this test.

In light of these shocking oversights, I’ve had the seats here fitted with biometric arse-cheek recognition, so I can monitor attendance. And if necessary, assist the authorities with their enquiries.
It also authorises debit card payments.

And now, thanks to David, the watchful eyes have watchful hands.

Miss Hoover, I just got snot all over mine!

Heh…This is a real thing, ICYDK. Or at least it was in development several years ago. Not sure if it ever materialized, however. Don’t ask me how I know…or more accurately, knew…

That is awesome – and I say that as someone who crochets on occasion.
Farnsworth,
I love that costume. I made a plague doctor’s mask for one of the twins a couple of years ago. They’re too old to trick-or-treat (just turned 17) but they love to dress up and stand out front as part of the decoration and scare the hordes of candy seekers. Not too many are familiar with the plague doctor but in a long, medieval, hooded cape, it is a startling look. The other twin got himself a WWI style gas mask and that’s very eerie, too.
Heh.
Heh.
Heh.
Welp, the party’s over, boys. Looks like we gonna hafta close this place down. Y’all don’t wanna be charged as an accessory, now do ya?

Ironically, the New Yorker publishes plenty of defamatory, hate-mongering lies, albeit rarely using curse words.
Looks interesting.
And timely.

Not at all ironically, this New Yorker writer’s op-ed was in the New York Times.
The Big Apple may be the City That Never Sleeps, but if these two august publications have their way, it could also be on the way to becoming the City That Never Over-Censors.
Regarding censorship, this aged well…or did it?

Last one before I take a drill to my face to let this goo ooze out.
The Beatles’ “Abbey Road” returns to the No. 1 album slot in the UK nearly 50 years after it was last at No. 1.

As the man says, it gets cold in Alaska but that doesn’t explain the tail.

Undercover, eh? Was he trying to find the guy who thought this was a good idea?
“biometric arse-cheek recognition”
It seems to be all the rage right now.
“Single screw inserter for iPhone6 speaker.”
I used to work for a major multinational electronics manufacturer that subcontracted from Apple and believe me when I tell you he was working in luxury. iPhone 6s and 7 is after Apple cleaned up their act after the subcontractor slave labour scandal was exposed.
As Glenn Reynolds would say, “Faster, please.”

Well, that design was stunningly stupid. OK, I’m sure I am grossly ignorant in this regard, but how the living f does a design like that, assuming this video itself isn’t a troll/click bait, ever get into production? I’m certainly not qualified as a hardware design engineer, but WTSF? Why bother with putting that fan in at all?
And while we’re on the subject, and I’m sure I’ll catch sh*t for this as an “engineer” but this “heat sink” thing has always bothered me and I’m wondering if that terminology isn’t the root of this problem. If the manifold device or WTF it’s called beside “heat sink” wasn’t called a “heat sink” but more properly (to my half-drunk yet still ignorant ass) a radiator, would this problem have occurred? Perhaps, and yes I’m reaching here, maybe some dumbass who designed the device in this video thought that the “heat sink” had a drain somewheres. Of course, again, this whole thing could be a troll but I’ve always hared that term, “heat sink”. OK, I’ll shut up now.
hared = hated. Obviously. Or not.
I’ve always hated that term, “heat sink”
The term is generations old, so I have no idea how it originated.

Like “the bee’s knees”? Yeah, I get it.

Douglas Murray spies more leftist dishonesty. Note, again, the casual shamelessness. As I said upthread, some people are more accustomed to habitual pretence.

(The original tweet is fine. It’s the comments that are disturbing.)
The Guardian strikes again…
Ngaree Blow “…a Yorta-Yorta, Noonuccal, Goreng Goreng woman and doctor”, informs us now is the time to disrupt the colonialist model of healthcare, because it “…fails to cater our peoples’ values and results in many people not receiving the care they need.”
It could just be me, but that whole dying at 35 thing might have something to do with it.
“Appendicitis, no, an operation would not cater to our values, fetch my didgeridoo and some wombat liver, stat !”
Really ? That’s news to this gentleman.
