Your definition of the meter leaves out the most interesting part. Yes, it was 1,000, 000th the distance of the equator to the North Pole, but how far is that? That wasn’t known accurately in the 18th Century. So, two Frenchmen, Delambre and Mechain conducted the longest meridian survey every attempted. They also did so while half of Europe was at war with one another. It was an amazingly dangerous endeavor. There is also significant evidence they totally flubbed and hand-waived their results. So, although their science ended up being questioned, the process and method was accepted and the Meter was defined.

It would take away a lot of the zing… But it’s cooking, you do you!

Seems like you could use a kick start for something different. Let me suggest Alabama White Sauce. Tangy, a little heat, and some lip sweat.

Alabama White BBQ Sauce: 1 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon prepared horseradish

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Salt

Ukraine MOD has a program in place that databases every cluster munition fire mission. Demining eastern Ukraine is going to be a years long effort. Any unexpended ordinance will go into that effort. Countries that gave up cluster munitions have had their rose tinted glasses on too long and assumed war would be limited to foreign battlefields and not their back yards.

Pop is my new go to distro. Even without their own DE, the tweaks to gnome are really well considered and I don’t spend an hour unfucking the default environment.

No. If it’s sticking you’re generally cooking too cool. Fast sear followed by a slower roast.

Which was the style at the time..

Get it right, Philistine :p

Social media is supposed to be the digital commons. Without a dislike button, then the media cannot be a commons. You go to the town square and start spouting offensive bullshit you’re going to get the proverbial rotten tomatoes thrown at you, mockery, and getting shunned.

With only having a like button, Twitter amplifies the message of bad actors and encourages rage responses. That’s the point though isn’t it? Engagement metrics to sell rage at a discount instead of the whole normal population buying a post with dislikes and moving on.

Correct, I got my account invite from The Screensavers show with Kevin Rose. They were giving them out randomly to viewers.

I snorted audibly on that one.

Typically, volcanic eruptions have a cooling effect. One of the principle emissions is sulfur dioxide which reflects high frequency solar energy (green house gases absorb and convert that same radiation into longer wave energy which excites atmospheric gases).

And that’s when you really get good at breaking shit.

Checo has got be close to being gone at this point. Bring in DR for the remainder of 23. Maybe this shuffle would allow Indycar’s Alex Palou to come across the pond.

I find there are few cult classics that can be found by future generations and maintain their cult status outside of the truly timeless greats like Rocky Horror Picture Show or similar. There’s a nostalgia associated with most cult films. I can’t imagine GenZ glomming onto Better off Dead or Ferris Bueller’s Day Off or The Goonies because so much of the camp and humor is tied to a time they don’t have a reference for.
