This xkcd is a good excuse to post a picture of some core, including probably my favorite sample in my collection from Bingham.
The "puck" in the top left is a piece of timber from an old underground mine that we drilled through. No copper in there, but it's really good for targeting!

I have a feeling that this holiday season will be much more "until then we'll have to muddle through somehow" than "hang a shining star upon the highest bough".

If you want a person in a picture for scale, but that person doesn't want their face in the publication, don't do this. It's weird and upsetting.

the replies to this are really nice. It’s a good reminder that people are pretty great, mostly.

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

Just learned that I'm the same age Phil Niekro was when he pitched his last season. This felt wrong at first; he looks *old*. Then I realized that if my remaining hair were to turn gray, I'd probably look about like this...if I lost some weight.
I could still make it in MLB is what I'm saying.

to have an affair with one longshot presidential candidate twice your age that you’re profiling may be regarded as a misfortune; to have two looks like carelessness

Here's a "joke" I thought up tonight:
Q: What do you call a Scottish lady who's always berating service workers?
A: McKaren
That'd *kill* with the right audience of like a dozen Reno dads. Trust me.

Fun fact: kids can't even agree on what "6-7" means. The STEM kids all claim it's a reference to holmium. Others swear it's a reference to the Prince song Now, from his 1995 album The Good Experience.
