Oh well that would explain the ‘instability’ I kept experiencing on voyager with a vpn on. That error didn’t pass through so I just assumed the instance was struggling and swapped to be with the Finns.

Seems like pedantry

For the next TV look at commercial and industrial panels. You can usually find the display you want with none of the smart tv junk.

Search for ‘commercial display + brand name’

Lead poisoning is a hell of a thing

Hot damn is that a good book recommendation!

on second look it seems its somewhat sloppily misrepresented. Apparently the book is not actually structured around the same walk taken 11 different times with different perspectives. some of the walks are the same, but others are in completely different locations. There also are reviews complaining about an excess of filler content.

I see your point, but yes. The French method was created specifically as a means of efficiently and reliably getting the job done without having to rely on the skill of an executioner.

If a vengeful display is what you’re after there are better methods suited to that goal.

Maybe in material alone but the labor costs in cutting, sharpening and honing that steel sheet stock into the blade is gonna run at least another couple hundred in labor at a first guess. I also seriously doubt 16g steel is going to have the heft needed for an effective blade of that type.

Name of the game is efficiency and if you’re having to do multiple runs or add extra weight to the blade mechanism it just slows things down.

Holding out hope for that extinction burst theory…

So we move to LA. My father gets a job at the Palm Restaurant. My Uncle Junior works there who was a Jehovah's Witness, believe it or not. He went from Catholic to Jehovah. So basically, my grandmother wanted us all to switch from Catholic to Jehovah, you know? Meanwhile, we're from Harlem; my father's doing coke, you know; my mother thinks she's Ann Margaret; she's teasing her hair with a bottle of vodka, you know; so dysfunctional, cross-addicted family, still cooking pasta on Sundays… Um, and uh, and the meatballs, they- they wind up being burnt, you know? It just got so dysfunctional. It got pretty bad.

 

Subsequently TIL chocolate is a salad.
