So you're the one breaking into people's homes, leaving unmarked boxes hiding God knows what, eating cookies and drinking their milk, giving children false hope, terrifying others into believing they're bad, spreading lies to cover your tracks and telling people about your fantasies about flying to the north pole with magical reindeer. Once we stop you we'll be able to put an end to your operation and those thousands of indentured slaves you keep in your hideout to make all those supposed 'toys' you use to hide all your contraband!!!
There's more than enough room for psychos like you at Arkham Asylum!!!
My local politician trying not to face the consequences of their actions.
Your name must be Ben .....Ben Dover
It's a Changling monitoring everyone ..... fire would probably kill it, so I suggest everyone throw them into the flames in protest of the Dominion.
This is why I would have never won anything on Wheel of Fortune .... because I was grasping for an answer and couldn't find one that made sense .... yours is much better.
Cardassian Sajak would have had me executed and given you the prize .... nice one!
Backyard tinkerer and wannabe Engineer: I'll just use this glass jar I used to drain some gas as the thing to drink my water now ..... this is water right?
Riker: .... I'd like to solve the puzzle ....
THERE ARE FOAM LIGHTS
Cardassian Sajak: ..... That's correct! ... You've won a trip for two to Risa!
Learn to eat healthy, in good portions, not too much, not too little and fast once in a while.
It's a pain when you're younger but gets easier with age because you start losing or degrading your sense of taste (like all your other senses) anyway.
If you get that habit early in life, you'll keep it forever. And if you take care of your system early in life, your older self will thank you for it. Otherwise if you abuse yourself, and you do end up living a long life, you'll be miserable for the last decade or two of your life and probably won't know your name or where you're from.
Crap ... this just reminded me to cancel my Starz trial account ... thanks Obiwan ... you were my only hope.
Walking around with armloads of newspapers and magazines from the grocery store rack shouting at everyone that we need to start the revolution now!
To me its the same as the thought about survivorship bias .... you want the best flooring material for the place that will most likely get the most damage.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias
You seldom use the bedroom floor because all you really do there is sleep ... basically wake in the morning and walk on at night before bed. And you seldom bring anything serious into the bedroom like liquids, hot / cold food, drinks or cups or containers.
The living room has moderate traffic and again you don't really use it during the day.
A high traffic area is the bathrooms because everyone goes there on a regular basis.
The most high traffic area in any house will always be the kitchen because everyone is constantly working and walking there .... and it is always exposed to liquids, solids, spills, hot stuff, cold stuff, broken stuff, glass, ceramic, metal, pots, pans. And you sometimes have crowds of people there ... all working and basically scrubbing the floor with all those feet.
It's the reason why you should have the best, hardest and most expensive flooring in any house.
If you are going to invest in expensive flooring ... put it in your kitchen because that is where it will be most useful and last for years in your house. If you install cheap floor in your kitchen, you'll be replacing it in less than 10 years or even less if the flooring is really cheap. After you replace flooring two or three times, it would have been the same cost as buying one good layer of expensive flooring anyway.
Just a friendly reminder of the November 11 Remembrance Day ceremonies.
Here's a photo of James Doohan, 22nd Field Battery, 13th Field Regiment RCA of the Canadian 3rd Infantry Division. He was part of the famous D-Day landings of June 1944.

Don't know how you all feel about Gene Roddenberry who kick started the whole Trek franchise and everything that came after it.
He is definitely someone that has affected a lot of lives beyond the work that he did and the life that he led.
For all his shortcomings, he is someone I look up to that has made humanity look at itself in the mirror and seriously think about what we all see in each other through all the shows and characters that he helped to create.
... btw ... this post is another Trek thing where in chatting with all you led me down to a page that noted that today is the memorial of Roddenberry's passing in 1991.
I thought I should take the responsibility to post this and remind everyone about what today is.
National Day For Truth And Reconciliation
Both my parents are survivors of the residential school era and my family have had to live with this horror all our lives ... whether we knew it or not.
For me the day is not to shame anyone or lay blame on those around me.
But rather to let everyone know about this history and never allow anything like it to ever happen again.
In The Original Series in the 60s, people had no idea what the future would look like or what technology would look like. In one of the early episodes, they had a paper print out machine on the bridge that looked like a fax machine, which was considered futuristic in the 1960s.
Like the example of the Enterprise fax machine, what technology or system do you think are we displaying in the current Star Trek shows that will show how dated we will become in the future?
I didn't see it posted so I thought I should.
I'm Indigenous, full blooded Ojibway/Cree from northern Ontario. Both my parents survived the residential school system in the 50s and I attended the last vestiges of Christianized schooling when I was growing up. We saw a lot of discrimination against us in my family and we were always made to feel less than every other Canadian we ever knew.
Even with all that ..... my dad always enjoyed celebrating this holiday because he just thought it was fun and a good time to celebrate with family and friends. Maybe he just didn't know but whenever this time of year comes around, all I can think of is how much he enjoyed just having a bit of fun today in the middle of summer.
In my own experience, I've travelled the world to 34 countries so I got see and compare how our country compares to the rest of the world. With all its shortcomings and blemishes .... this is still a great country and a prime example of decent democracy. It isn't perfect and it is very problematic and unequal in many ways ... but its on the top of the pile of mostly or more democratic places on the planet. I may be wrong on that but that is just my opinion.
So with all that said .... to all my Native, non-Native, nation born, immigrant, brown, white, black, and every shade in between ....
Happy Canada Day to all of you.
You probably know my brother 'Ballsack' .... he looks like me but his head is full of semen!!
