Kunlun

The book dates back to 1965. I'm not an SF freak, but I read it a few years after that. Dads /should/ have heard of it!

I passed the book on to a lecturer at college, pointing out certain passages that accorded with some of his weird theories. As a result, he struck up a correspondence with Frank Herbert!

I heard a guy talk about it on the radio this morning...he read a quick synopsis and was like, "Sounds kind of like Star Wars."

@YMO Judging by measurements on a HF review it's a little less bright than the FD5 FWIW. The price is right too for a pure BE driver...

Periodic Be mods well or so I've been told

Fiio FD7 looks promising.

I use Ety plugs as well! I even take them to movies and plays too, as amplified sound levels are all over the place nowadays.

IMO due to how venues + engineers conspire, I found it easier to enjoy the music with them in at shows.

Actually, that graph that shows how what each helmholtz resonator does to the FR is interesting. The page is surprisingly sprinkled with info amidst the ad-hype.

Also Wombats and Platypuses.

Yo they need to isolate the gene that encodes this protein ASAP.

You won't hear about this on mainstream media:

And…a new AC/DC album!

New hearing-aid tech is always welcome. Always hoping

And: Happy National Butterscotch Pudding Day!

I did a quick bit of research on top of what I already knew, and if I'm reading the reports in the right way, there isn't a JetPack that is publicly known about that would fit this description. There is a JetPack type bike helicopter, but that doesn't fit the description. This is incredibly strange.

There is one JetPack that would *maybe* fit the descriptions, but it hasn't been used at the altitude reported, at least not publicly.

My best guess would be either
A)Sky Diver with some sort of propulsion assist?

B)Something out of the black world, or perhaps a DARPA project.

Its certainly the right area for it to be a black project, but that would be an incredibly unusual time and area to carry out the test.

Or its fucking Iron Man

Where's the surface phonon resonator for the high frequency quantum acoustics? :)

Now all they need to do is drop their politeness act and start roasting other museums a la Wendy's Twitter.

It's always about uranus, what about my anus? It has a very bubbly personality. Especially in a bath.

Now we'll REALLY need some toilet paper...

The crackers are probably fine but i wouldn’t try to choke down the first two no matter how hungry you get.

I enjoyed this far more than I should have.

^ lol!

Have been following Customer Service Wolf on instagram for quite a while. Love it.

新年快乐！

Or Teochew yam mooncakes. Basically yam paste (which is cooked with some lard) covered in a flaky pastry. Better value for calories gained.

Of course ice cream mooncakes would taste better but no one ever gives me those.

@Thad E Ginathom Nah, most Chinese say they love the flavor. They're not horrible just dont do anything for me.

Why is my first thought the body being sprinkled/garnished with the ingredients, rather than than a bottle of oil, a saltshaker, etc. being placed in the coffin?

shiiiit, I'm gonna need to add a rider on my funeral contract. A bottle of yucateco green MUST be in my shirt pocket.

Cremation, I presume?

IDK what it was or if they pulled it but I get the "something went wrong" page...
Edit, it's working now.
Yes indeed-holy fuckstick. Awesome.

Try this one?

At this point, she's doing something that nobody's ever done every time she competes. People almost take it for granted now. That's how good she's been.

So when will cats land on the moon and claim it for themselves?

They sent a dog into space, but you won't catch a cat doing that stuff: they make sure the humans go.
