Adjective of the day, to describe a $30K millionaire who's rude to people:
Triflutin'.
(We have some of these in Dallas.)
There once was a man
From Nantucket who could not
Rhyme, so he haikued.
Yesterday, as I was cleaning up after a class I'd taught, I heard music from the exercise room upstairs, and it was brassy and chaotic enough to sound like Resphigi. I found that idea surprising, so I kept listening. Eventually I heard a familiar musical line, and then dialogue. Ohhhh, that's an Indiana Jones movie. That makes more sense.

Does anyone have recommendations for a reader and source of e-books not run by Google or Amazon? I still own a bunch of books on each platform but would prefer not to buy more.
I really should check out what's available from my library...

The Case of the Welsh Autoresponder
The English half of the sign is printed correctly and says, “No entry for heavy goods vehicles. Residential site only.” Clearly enough, the point of the sign is to prohibit truck drivers from entering a residential neighborhood.
Since the sign was posted in Swansea, Wales, the bottom half of the sign is written in Welsh. The translation of the Welsh is, “I am not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated.”

40+m long, but you get the idea in the first 10m or less.
He's just using the 9-12C constant temp found at a depth ~3m. No actual geo-thermal like hot water or steam is involved. Just buried pipe and moving air.

Perhaps worse is that when people attempt to research their own biases, and find opposing views, they often default to Google/Bing.
Folks: Google and their friends will show you results you'll click on, probably preferring results that display google ads. That means they'll pick results you'll _agree with_ because that's a really strong cognitive bias. Google will lie and reassure you to win clicks. You cannot challenge your own beliefs with Google: they won't let you.
