but this is the guy who insists that he is following "gold standard" science.

just pathetic.

I have a different way of calculating percentages. That's a 200,000% increase!

If we are doing qualitative math, who's to say?

7 days after covering cheese in ash, the two wheels have turned mostly white as a rind forms

day 7, getting close to complete coverage

he is bad with numbers: Wray took about 40 days of leave per year, meaning he was in the job over 200/yr. Iatel says he has worked "twice as many days" which would be over 400 days in 1 year.

at least you had a warm potato, straight from the fire, to keep your hands warm, and provide lunch, on the way there. the return was the real killer.

THE TIME BEFORE CATS

garlic is a challenge here with relatively short daylengths. I've had mixed success as well with getting decent sized bulbs.

they must have an interesting relationship

and her husband was banned from the Labor Dept hq after sexually assaulting 2 employees.

yes

it was interesting.

my hs physics/analytical geometry teacher, Perry McBroom, used to talk about it quite a bit, how radically different perception is in a 2 dimensional world, and I eventually read it

Good for you!
This is not that performance, but it always makes me think of this from Nick Hornby in his book "Songbook"

we haven't had broadcast tv or cable since the 90s. Other than seeing his name pop up occasionally on social media or in a magazine, I never had to acknowledge his existence.

lufe was a lot better when he was just an odious buffoon who you could completely ignore because he was irrelevant.

tbh, I was a little short of ash this time and saw that old cartridge laying in the corner...

not at all, its powder like consistency, vegetable ash. it's a mess to work with though

a small Nerina type cheese

ash, like that stuff in the fireplace, though I do buy some food grade ash. it makes the rind less acidic which allows the molds that were added to the cheese to grow on the surface and create a soft rind, very edible and colorful. like this:

2 Nerina goat cheese wheels starting to form a skin

day 4, the rind slowly starting to form and covering the ash

Quinn resting in his wheels.

Quinn emphatically announcing wheel time is over

what different route?

its definitely a place to visit

I do

I think the bait is a secondary, or even tertiary, thing. Their sense of smell is so good that they pick up your scent on the trap, or a previous deceased rat in the trap, anything amiss, and they avoid it. And they are horribly suspicious of anything new.

there is the story of the crushed Ritz crackers.....my friend and I set out one summer morning with a paper bag of Riz crackers. 9 yo ne attempted my Tom Jones impersonation and the crackers were no more

i definitely believe drugs were involved writing the lyrics to this 5th D thing. it just brings this to mind:
