The worst-named best guitar solo I know of, and another epic track I love: Funkadelic, "Maggot Brain"

TIL male dragonflies are less disturbingly driven to mate than birds. Because birds are (sometimes) necrophiliacs.

Casual racism is a fact of life in most schools. Just like shootings.

This is how one knows that the "Presidential Medal of Freedom" is less than - far less than - the Congressional Medal of Honor: Bill Cosby has one.

OMG. 🙄

I spent a weekend visiting friends in Lemoore, and I stepped into some deep mud on a creek bank. The next week I got pneumonia. Treatment was mainly supportive - I was an otherwise fit 28-year-old.

For 3 weeks I was laid out - simply being awake for 15 minutes exhausted me.

@Ironworker229 @ps9714

I contracted a mild case in 1986, and 10 years later it still showed up on x-rays. Persistent, and difficult to treat.

@GrazingintheGrass
It seems like the authorities had checked on them, and were assured that the guns were secured.

My dad's gun cabinet was secured, too. But I knew where the key was.

@northernbassist

My high school, built 1974, had a "mod pit" in the center of the "quad" - basically a central open area with wide steps down to a 6' deep hole.

@BlueStateBabe lol.
Sneaky damn editors.

Use pine tar, available as cans of equine hoof treatment at farm suppliers, for Tar & Feather events. Heat the product no more than 112°F (45°C) to avoid burns - set the can in hot water to heat, like using a double boiler.

Feathers are readily available from pillows. Not 'MyPillows', those are foam.

Strip the victim to the waist, pour a quart (liter) over their head, then dump the feathers on top.

Carrying them out of town on a rail is optional.

Remember, Pine Tar - not Roofing Tar.

Holy smokes! The chief's mess running an illegal Starlink wi-fi, controlled by the Command Senior Chief? And all that happens is Captain's mast and a drop to E-7?

This is very disconcerting.

We really need a way to measure the IQ of an AI; because a stupid AI is worse than no AI.
