At first glance, I honestly thought it was a woman in body makeup, taking advantage of a dramatic setting for an artsy photo.

I love the results of a Corgi-xxxxx mix. Every result is the xxxxx contributer shoehorned into a Corgi shaped frame. Sometimes comical, always cute.

EDM, Electric Discharge Machining removes material using basically sparks, and as you see, is so accurate(40 millionths of an inch all the way down to 10 millionths of an inch) that the manufactured hole and plug mate absolutely perfectly. The machine shop guys at my company earned their keep by "burning" out the very occasional jammed drill bits or totally seized fasteners in thick, critical aircraft structure without actually touching the sides of the existing hole. F'ing magic!

That's scary, but forewarned is forearmed. I guess the bright side is that that mushrooms aren't quite as ubiquitous as something like peanuts.

Imagine how dazzling they looked before the hand polished, virtually seamless, white limestone shell was worn and stolen away. Search the-great-pyramid-used-to-be-so-shiny-it-glowed for a peek.

Never knew that was a thing. Guess you have to avoid a lot of obvious sources-pizzas, pasta sauces and Chinese plates, but are the spores ever an issue?

West Lebanon N.H. is over 5425 miles from Beirut, so probably only minor damage. I just hope this doesn't trigger those fish to start stress smoking.

@coldpasta Found a reference to it in the Bangalore Mirror. It looks like a pile of pine needles when it's not hiding out on its usual haunt, some mango leaves. They mention that you could easily miss some when collecting mango leaves for Ugadi(South Indian New Year-evidently the leaves can be cooked and eaten). They also say, and I quote, "Make no mistake, touching one of these will cause intense irritation for hours." So avoid helping to collect and cook mango leaves and you should be fine.

My wife works for an international shipping organization. The company pipeline said their offices at the port were obliterated but the employees had left for the day 20 minutes earlier. Hope they were well on their way home by then.

If you followup on the site that @darkness_within posted, you'll find dozens of other apps, that like TikTok, require parents to either proscribe or monitor closely. It's the double edged sword of our 20 year old connected reality. Predators of all types can prey from behind a keyboard. Pervs, con men and scammers abound, and it's up to us, as individuals and parents, to remain vigilant for ourselves and our kids.

The story might be interesting, if it wasn't bullshit. Just search for teenager-sue-parents-naming-gaylord-fact-check/ It was originally posted on World News Daily Report, which has the following disclaimer:

I used to watch Route 66, so this colorized version is equally nostalgic. :)
