Paint dot net has layers, rotation, magic wand, and layers. The Editable Text plugin completes my amateur photo editing requirements. And no bloatware! No spyware!

This my top-used non-windows-component bestest utility for finding info on my pc. It’s da bomb!

Waddaya mean “reclaiming”? Science is a process, a method to make sense of (parts) of our world. It never was and never can be a “human right”. Propaganda.

Everybody who lives long enough reaches a year when the bucket list becomes the f_(k-it list!

I went to school on base, grades 1-4, mid 1960s. My takeaway: planes with Ramjets!

This is what happens when the rules don’t apply to everybody equally. The military is at the top of the class for doing so. Still it happens; where it appears a “guilty bastard” avoids the usual punishment thru influence, rank, or some other reason. It sets a very bad example, and the troops can get testy if they don’t get the same (perceived) treatment.

Sunscreen sounds unmanly, but think about how you’ll feel with half your nose excised. Put it on your face especially!

Bravo!

Vigorous shaking mixes the thicker areas (where the sauce has settled) and the thinner (more watery) areas so they now have the same viscosity (pouring characteristics). Most importantly, this lets the mass of sauce slide cleanly down the bottle, helping the air bubble to also slide up in one unit at the same time, preventing the “air-lock” blockage at the opening. Important Note: Before vigorously shaking any container, ensure that the cap is truly secured! Now you are in control!

In keeping with their embrace and transformation of The Blues, Led Zeppelin lyrics are hopeful in the face of sadness.

I am looking forward to the anxious and exciting frisson of waiting for Monday, when the Edmonton Oilers will lift “the hardest trophy to win in professional sports”, the coveted Stanley Cup, to trophy of the NHL! Meanwhile, the hopes of me and my fellow Canucks may well be dashed before the weekend barely gets started.

I have long known that plastic “recycling” in less-developed countries meant bury or burn. Now it is becoming apparent that the same applies to developed countries too. Six percent actually recycled is worse than a joke, due recyclers’ contribution to micro plastic pollution. Waste-to-energy is the only way we’ll ever get a handle on the problem. Hopefully the dioxin-like byproducts will kill fewer of us than micro plastics themselves.

I can well imagine that is difficult to be passionate about some installation’s heating and cooling system. But problem solving IS something that many people are passionate about. Good distinction!
