Last Notes npub1fdxkhtc8y07vch8nxzjk4v64sslyvmlnk8ldr99ktav5qcj8mvesny5qau M.S. Bellows, Jr. I love those buckle ones to put on little kids' packs and clothing, and I have one on each of my packs as a backup, but they're probably only 10-20% as loud. npub1fdxkhtc8y07vch8nxzjk4v64sslyvmlnk8ldr99ktav5qcj8mvesny5qau M.S. Bellows, Jr. Also, I prefer compasses with mirrors, which both are more accurate and also can be used to signal aircraft. npub1fdxkhtc8y07vch8nxzjk4v64sslyvmlnk8ldr99ktav5qcj8mvesny5qau M.S. Bellows, Jr. AND A COMPASS!!Paper map AND compass AND the training to know how to use them! Batteries die. npub1fdxkhtc8y07vch8nxzjk4v64sslyvmlnk8ldr99ktav5qcj8mvesny5qau M.S. Bellows, Jr. Does salt vs fresh water make a difference? Because I've always assumed that boats ("hole in the water you throw money into") were like British sports cars ("if you miss your MGB, just sit really close to a fan on high and tear up a $100 bill once an hour"). npub1fdxkhtc8y07vch8nxzjk4v64sslyvmlnk8ldr99ktav5qcj8mvesny5qau M.S. Bellows, Jr. No actually I'm pretty sure I actually am. npub1fdxkhtc8y07vch8nxzjk4v64sslyvmlnk8ldr99ktav5qcj8mvesny5qau M.S. Bellows, Jr. Sorry. I came across one of our kids' old books, a children's bio of J.K. Rowling, and plunked it in the recycling. npub1fdxkhtc8y07vch8nxzjk4v64sslyvmlnk8ldr99ktav5qcj8mvesny5qau M.S. Bellows, Jr. Also too? Just for fun I googled "lethal cucumbers" thinking I'd probably find either Rule 34 pron or a garage band, and... OMFG NOOOO! I'LL TAKE SNEKS INSTEAD! npub1fdxkhtc8y07vch8nxzjk4v64sslyvmlnk8ldr99ktav5qcj8mvesny5qau M.S. Bellows, Jr. Ricki's brilliant post is based on this: https://www.rover.com/blog/why-are-cats-afraid-of-cucumbers/ , probably conflated in our minds with this (really cool!) experiment: https://link.springer.com/article/10.3758/BF03197783 npub1fdxkhtc8y07vch8nxzjk4v64sslyvmlnk8ldr99ktav5qcj8mvesny5qau M.S. Bellows, Jr. This is one of the best obscure references ever. Well done. 10/10 no notes. npub1fdxkhtc8y07vch8nxzjk4v64sslyvmlnk8ldr99ktav5qcj8mvesny5qau M.S. Bellows, Jr. I'm gonna share some completely anticlimactic TMI for the benefit of other middle-aged men: npub1fdxkhtc8y07vch8nxzjk4v64sslyvmlnk8ldr99ktav5qcj8mvesny5qau M.S. Bellows, Jr. At least Howard Hughes had the simple courtesy to become a hermit. npub1fdxkhtc8y07vch8nxzjk4v64sslyvmlnk8ldr99ktav5qcj8mvesny5qau M.S. Bellows, Jr. For folks trying to figure out the new TikTok "ban" and understand Biden's role in it, [@mcc](https://mastodon.social/@mcc) offers a discussion here that I find serious and thoughtful even though I partly disagree with it: https://mastodon.social/@mcc/112327478848274607 ; and she and I have been discussing Biden's role in it (which I argue has been *pro* TikTok/First Amendment) in another thread here: https://c.im/@msbellows/112327226112309441. npub1fdxkhtc8y07vch8nxzjk4v64sslyvmlnk8ldr99ktav5qcj8mvesny5qau M.S. Bellows, Jr. The tattoos are on LeBron so he owns them, UNLESS he has a different agreement with the tattoo artist. npub1fdxkhtc8y07vch8nxzjk4v64sslyvmlnk8ldr99ktav5qcj8mvesny5qau M.S. Bellows, Jr. And I disagree with this. When police destroy homeless people's tents, they're violating their human rights. npub1fdxkhtc8y07vch8nxzjk4v64sslyvmlnk8ldr99ktav5qcj8mvesny5qau M.S. Bellows, Jr. I respectfully disagree. Trump actually isn't responsible for the juror identifications: the media reported on the publicly-available info (including employers, a mistake the judge fixed today), plus physical descriptions; family and friends then figured it out. Nor can Trump be held responsible *legally* for what his followers do, if he hasn't encouraged them to do it (which he hasn't done in this case – yet). And the judge is limited in how quickly he can impose contempt – it has to be an incremental process that protects the defendant's rights. The hearing next week is the correct next step.
