That's a terrible uniform, if it needs such constant adjustment. It did look better than the first TNG uniforms, which appeared to be extremely uncomfortable.

Way down California close to Joshua Tree
Way back up in the desert with the sand and scree
There stood a log cabin made of mirrors and wood
Where lived a country boy name of Johnny B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play the guitar just like ringing a bell

5. Ignore the vegetarians.
I agree with the part about vegetarians. Those who deliberately restrict their diets for reasons other than illness deserve what they get. If they are vegetarian out of conscience, then they must celebrate under the cross they bear, knowing that they suffer for a worthy cause. If they are vegetarian for reasons of having a healthy diet, then . . . thanksgiving. The whole point is to eat to morbidity, drink too much and argue politics with relatives. It's not about health.

That is some excellent work! I never would have figured that a winch of this type would work, even though the math actually works out quite well (given the mass of the car plus water, length of the lever arm, radius of the spindle embedded in the ice, etc). Without having seen it, it would never have occurred to me. Now that I know, I will keep it filed away, in case I have need for something like this.

This taxonomy of tools will be useful for organizing my workshop

A really moving piece. I had to suspend disbelief with the radio, though. I am pretty sure these types of radios work on half-duplex mode (like a CB radio). If Anigaaq is speaking, he's holding down the microphone button, and so his radio cannot receive. That's why radio speaking practices include the call "over" when the speaker is finished. It indicates that the frequency is clear to receive.

What an act of love. Beautiful.
It may be time to watch the anime "Wandering Son"

An instrument that uses strings that are pressed onto rotating wheels with rosin should be called a hurdy-gurdy. This is a multi-wheel hurdy-gurdy, but otherwise is the same as its smaller cousin.

The article linked is really very cute, and quite a testament to the love this couple hold for each other. The comments were a bit disturbing, because many pointed out the many different ways in which the Victorian era was, well, pretty nasty for those who weren't white and wealthy.
Some people are maybe too serious. I mean, this is mostly an extended cosplay, and it's kinda cute.

You know, I disagree with Bill O'Reilly in so many things, but I cannot help but feel that his recitation was absolutely heartfelt. As much as we may be at opposite views on many issues, his dedication and love for the words and spirit of the Address are clear. He and I find commonality in that dedication, and I find it in myself to respect him. Perhaps I can hear his other words in a new light tomorrow.

That's a really tidy sheep barn. I'm impressed with the all-wooden walls and gates. Barns that I have seen have chewed-up pens and lots of welded wire instead of solid wood.
It's also interesting that none of the sheep have their tails docked, even the adults.

I'd be totally hopeless.

But, how will the cats get into it?
