I do not live somewhere people can easily just stop by, particularly if they are not invited. No friend of mine would come here without checking first. Even my family would call or text first.

Uninvited guests are met with an armed response from a polite but firm home-owner. How it plays put from there is going to depend how you behave when I inform you visitors are not welcome. Yes, I am also fun at parties.

that means once every two years, right? …right?

Americans don’t learn about John Brown

Horseshit.

I learned about him in public school 40 years ago, and so have both my kids more recently. My 8th grade class visited Harper’s Ferry.

edit: It would be accurate enough if you qualified it saying “some Americans dont learn about Brown.” Trying to make it a sweeping generalization is horseshit, presumably aimed at being inflammatory.

A joint team from POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) and Jeonbuk National University has shown that mechanical waves can be fully trapped inside a single solid resonator. Many researchers thought this was “theoretically impossible” in compact systems. The work was published on April 3 in Physical Review Letters and focuses on bound states in the continuum, or BIC, where waves stay trapped and do not lose energy, even though, in a continuum, there are paths for them to escape.

No, but bonus credit. I went Vax VMS, DEC Alpha DUX, Slackware, slowaris (x86 Solaris), Redhat, then LFS, Gentoo, RHEL, Solaris 9, and then eventually a little of everything else.

Please do the needful.

Correct. They are ubiquitous in US airports.

Propaganda.

Planting seeds.

Materials handler at a chemical plant.

Pretty weak argument, that. Humans have also been murdering, raping, and enslaving other humans for our entire existence.

Intersection of CMP and Backwoods people. Yeah, that tracks.
