What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?
RE: What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?
Yiddish proverb:

A yid hot akht un tsvantsik protsent pakhed, tsvey protsent tsuker, un zibetsik protsent khutspe.

Literally, 'A Jew is twenty eight percent fear, two percent sugar, and seventy percent chutzpah.'

Yeah, if you speak German, Yiddish isn’t that hard to suss out.

You can cook eggs by sous vide. You just cook them in the shell. Not my thing, as the goal is a gooey egg, and I don't like my eggs that way, but it is interesting.

Also, there's an argument to be made for searing meat both before and after sous vide, instead of just after. Food for thought.

KC and The Sunshine Band are still touring, and playing some decent-sized venues at that.

Kids used to play with the Panama canal.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

1) There are apparently two different sizes of microSD card. Regular and M2. dad discovered this through a GoPro ripoff that turned out to be more usable than he thought.

2) In the name “Andrzej”, the R is apparently silent. So, it looks like, I’ll be watching a film by OND-zeysh Zhu-WAF-ski for Halloween.

I was born with the gift of laughter and a sense the world is mad.

Blackberries are NOT an acceptable substitute for blueberries.
