Yeah, it shows off the machines really nicely, displays them like they’re art.

I like the dramatic lighting in this

That sucks. Sounds like you two need to work on your communication.

I started The Hands Of The Emperor by Victoria Goddard last week (so good!), and tore through all 900 pages of it in a few days. Found out there’s a sequel - At The Feet Of The Sun - and poured that one into my brain as well (even better than the first!). Now I’m reading my way through the novellas that are in between those two behemoths.

Loose screw on the neutral bar. Maybe it loosened over time, maybe it was never tightened correctly to begin with. Probably both. Regardless, when the gap got big enough and the excess current on that circuit went back through the neutral, it overheated to the point of melting. Good thing you shut that circuit down, you very likely prevented a fire!

Now the big question is, why didn’t the breaker trip on its own?

Photo?

How long is your scarf? It’s difficult enough to find the 10-12’ space for a standard length scarf, but I know that Dr. Who scarves are considerably longer.

This makes a near-perfect opening shot for a grim, mid-apocalyptic movie

It feels like exploitation because it is

Ultrasound screenings identify cancers that can be missed in mammograms, radiologists say. And they are imperative for women with dense breast tissue, a condition affecting nearly half of women over the age of 40, according to the National Institutes of Health.

Uh, being a certain age has fuck-all to do with breast density. It doesn’t suddenly change when you turn 40. And yeah, not only do mammograms become impossible to read after a certain density, but they’re painful as fuck, and ultrasounds don’t have this issue. So what the fuck? Why deny covering the cost of screenings? It doesn’t make any sense at all.

 
 

I missed out on much of the Halloween fun as a kid (thanks to my very religious upbringing) and am picking up the slack now as an adult.

This year we watched Hocus Pocus, the original Beetlejuice, Blade, and Interview With The Vampire. The up next list includes The Fly, Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, and Labyrinth.

What else should I add to this list?

 

Technically they're littermates...

 

Obligatory not-my-cat. This is Holly, the new smol. She’s eating the stick end of a feather toy. I’m told it’s the tastiest part.
