A light bit of salt. Buffalo sauce mixed with Bleu cheese or ranch. Put some food dye in a cup and watch it grow up the stalk.

Well-played!

I do. May I enter your domicile and show you?

I have photophobia, which is not a fear of light (that’s heliophobia) but a high sensitivity to light. I have to wear sunglasses essentially sunup to sundown. I keep my office lights off. My display is set to the lowest brightness and contrast settings I can get away with.

I have Transitions lenses and even those aren’t strong enough sunglasses to cope with the brightness. Goodr sunglasses work really well for me as does my $600 prescription sunners. But mostly I try to avoid sunny days and live for the November through March days when the sun sets at 4 PM so I can go outside and enjoy myself.

This is a great policy for amateur (ham) radio. Start with the $25 Baofeng that barely receives and transmits all over the spectrum*, then grab the Alinco or TYT, eventually working one’s way up to Kenwood, Icom, Yaesu, etc.

A good transceiver is expensive so working up to the big boys is definitely worth the investment if the hobby takes hold.

*Baofengs are probably the worst first handheld transceiver (HT) because they are so poorly designed and quality control is non-existent. A new ham with a Baofeng is likely to become frustrated and give up. Check out the various ham radio/amateur radio communities for better suggestions for starter HTs if ham radio is of interest to you.

Odd man out.

Yeah I’m going on a bit of a victory lap here, I’m pretty happy with how this one turned out.

You should - this looks amazing! Nice work! I really like how the grain pops on the front of the drawer and the parallel grain on the sides is beautiful.

FOG for those things it can’t do (imaging, deployment, capture)

Remember kids, it’s not the fall that kills you…it’s the sudden stop at the end.

The tankless water heater located in the shower is the best.

I’d have been mad too

I was being jaunty, much like the dude who dared place in the driving lane outside of the Embassy Suites. Never saw a Chicago tow truck move in like that.

US Army, winter 1996. Just got onto base, pretty fresh from BASIC. I open my barracks door and McBride (RIP brother) says “Here, drink this!” with his devlish grin, blocking my entry and holding a shot glass of some clear liquid. 18-year-old private me swigged it down and nearly choked on the shot.

“WTF is this?”, I asked, gasping and choking.

“Everclear!” he said joyfully, moving away from the door while I gagged, challenge completed.

I passed his…test?.. and I was in the friend group.
