Happy Birthday!

Doomed!

If you're looking to order, you might also try joining up with a local high powered rocketry group. They often need 4f for their parachute deployment.

I didn't know that definition was strictly American. How novel!

I don't mind thread necromancy at all! It was just that it is usually Mission doing the resurrection. Now I'm all curious if they fixed the flag gaffe or not...

Thread necromancy at its finest and Mission no where to be found..... I didn't know the exhibit was in Minnesota. I might have to go see it again!

It could be parabolic, we could also go to higher orders. Or make it dependent on the change in post rate using derivatives.

We could do that! We could set it up so that there is an optimal amount of posting per day that could figure into the calculation. We could weight the formula on various statistics. I like this idea!

Oh sure, first the post count, then our join date.... Actually I quite agree with ditching the post count. But definitely not the log in date.

I find I can't ignore this birthday greeting! While we've never met in person, it has been my pleasure to know you virtually for all these years!

Lovely!

Never let the word sewing make it seem more complicated than is necessary. More like tying. Just use the wire to attach the pin to what every you want.

I have a couple of old broaches I use for hat decorations. I wrap some fine wire around them and basically sew them on with the wire.

Allow me to set the stage by saying, I've been working my way through the Aubrey/Maturin series again. This morning I was grading papers from my students regarding a project they'd done last week. A part of the project called for measuring the length of a ~6meter, somewhat flexible, PVC pipe with a long cloth tape measure. As scientists in training they were instructed to come up with an estimate of the error in their measurement and propagate that error through to future calculations. One particular group had decided that 0.0001meters was a reasonable error. To which I replied "Far too small! A tenth of a milimeter, forsooth!" I suspect they already think me insane. I have no idea how this will be received, though I did opt to not cross it out...

I was fairly certain if I made it this year I was going in the Ottoman Empire outfit. Also out of place.

Did you notice that Redd Dawnn has actually been a member since 2004?

Well the feeling is mutual! Ships in the night or something...ships with misdirected navigators I am left to assume.

Didn't Monty Python do one with mice?

Somewhat unrelated, but depending on the piece, I might be interested in jewelry if your friend as any...

I think this is the same issue you were having before. Your computer stores information about a webpage to speed the loading. One of the things it stored was your profile picture. Clear the cache and it will be fine. Your cropped image is what appears for me on this page.

Physics and math. I'm doing consulting on firearms and ballistics. The trolling lessons are community ed.

You are resurrecting my thread with a cat torturing post?

I was hoping to try for it, however, it's looking unlikely as my course during that three week period is rapidly filling up. Not that I'm complaining too much.

You could always attempt a middle eastern pirate. We had a somewhat active thread here a few years ago.
