Start with your bulb off for at least 5 seconds.
1.Turn on for 8 seconds
2.Turn off for 2 seconds
3.
Turn on again and again
4.Turn off for 60 seconds and repeat
4.Turn on for 10 seconds
5.Turn off for 50 seconds and repeat
6.Turn on for 5 seconds and remove from flame for 180 seconds. I like to remove it after every time I turn the fluke on because that can get a little hot on the skin afterwards. You should get an excellent smoke from the whole thing. I don't recommend burning with this on your hand. When you do that you are going to get burn marks and it might leave a white smear on your hand.
Use a soft cotton brush to get a good amount of air bubbles out and then blow them out with the bulb flame.
You will know it has exploded if you can smell it. Use a soft cloth to wipe that off easily. The white substance will give off that horrible smell and smell pretty bad afterwards.
This piece has not only been used up and has started to burn, yet there is still an extremely dry taste that you can feel if you try to pull too hard.
If you take off your skin the smell could continue to the next day, even for a few days

Billie Eilish - Bury a Friend lyrics

I'm not mad at the child

I'm not mad at the stranger

I'm not mad at the stranger

I'm not mad at the stranger

I'm not mad at the stranger

You don't get me

You don't get me

And you never, ever get me

If you want to kill me do it, you kill me do it

If you want to kill me do it, you kill me do it

I'm not mad at the child

I'm not mad at the stranger

I'm not mad at the stranger

And you never, ever get me

I'm not mad at the child

I'm not mad at the stranger

I'm not mad at the stranger

And you never, ever know

I'm not mad at the child

I'm not mad at the stranger

I'm not mad at the stranger

And you never, ever know

I'm not mad at the child

I'm not mad at the stranger

I'm not mad at the stranger

Thanks to David Hasely for correcting these lyrics.

Ten things I learned being in a polyamorous relationship:

1. I'm not a liar. I was told, repeatedly, that every time I said that "the poly lifestyle is monogamous," I was lying. After reading all my stories, I now realize that I wasn't kidding. A lot of people who go to polyamory classes do so as an excuse for doing stupid things like "taking off my clothes at night" or "eating too fast." I did not do any such thing. So as I said in my original interview (here), I do not believe myself to be a liar. You don't lie in a polyamorous relationship. Even if he says to me, "Your body has turned into your partner and your sexual partner," I'm not going to lie. There is no reason to lie because lying is bad for everyone. For the sake of everyone: I do my best to be honest with everyone, and we all want the best for each other. One of the benefits of having this freedom is the freedom to take care of each other's needs. I was taught, even though I'm now sure I've told you the truth, that you can't just turn your partner, partner number one, into another partner. I knew all along that this is never going to happen. So I made a commitment to myself to tell my partner this.

Que se quede el infinito sin estrellas
O que pierda el ancho mar su inmensidad
Pero el negro de tus ojos que no muera
Y el canela de tu piel se quede igual

mi es porque seguir la fiesta
Como su fiesta porque este otro
Aguamentará una fiesta que fue que estudiante
I'm your cousin...
I never wanted to do this...I love you...thank you...I'll never forget you...
And I didn't want to miss your funeral because of you
And I'll never stop looking at you...I love you
I never wanted to be born here, but I'm a virgin now
I love you and my heart will always be yours
I'll be your best friend forever

Seventy Two Virgins
by Boris Johnson
HarperCollins £17.99, pp336-9

After a trip to Israel, Boris Johnson returns to London on his way to an address by Theresa May. Having been called to Westminster to receive the Nobel prize for his contribution to the civil-unions campaign, Johnson is asked if he would consider a future post in Downing Street. The young politician replies: "Of course, I would." The next morning, the Daily Mail announces that he has been appointed the new ambassador for the UK to Germany, a position he soon takes up under Sir Roger Bannister.

This is the opening dialogue from Ken Laszlo's italo disco classic 'Hey Hey Guy', which reads like it was written by AI as it is.

Ken: "Hallo"
French guy: "Hallo, ?"
Ken: "Oh dear, you have phone"
French guy: "Yeah, hey guy, tell me about your menicure"
Ken: "I love you and feel the groove"
French guy: "Tell me about it, is it the true"
Ken: "It's true, yes, it's true"
French guy: "Don't fool out, it's dangerous"
Ken: "Don't worry, baby gold"
French guy: "Everything is same as all"
Ken: "Everything is the same"
French guy: "Oh, I love you"
Ken: "Me too"
French guy: "I love you"

Ken: "Me, too"

Bender: Hey, Mark!

Nan: (to Lars) I just thought you should know. He's a pretty tough kid. You know? If you ever come around his neighborhood again, the world will know he was a nice boy!

Bender: That was your plan all along? Oh, yes, that was your plan all along!! (He runs out of the temple with his axe in hand. Lars looks to Mark)

Mark: (staring at the tree with a slightly sad expression) It's getting kind of late, man. I think I would rather spend my days in bed waiting to die.

Lisa: Hey, Mark! I'm here with you, all right? (She and Homer walk into the temple to see Lisa. Lisa hugs Mark and gives him her hair, which he removes)

oops. forgot the completion, which is not very good really.

I was the shadow of the waxwing slain
By the false azure in the windowpane;

The sky was white with blood, the moon a cloud;

Beneath my wings a bird was achiving

Fantastically from the cloud in the windowpane:

But the wind would move it, and I could give

Only these one feeble word: 'Fly away!'

'Well, fly away!' was all I could say—

The bird took wings.

Brennan: And I'd just love to get a load off one of those fucking cock holes, but it's so damn hot and cold out here and all my fucking money's in your vault and I wanna hold on as long as possible and I want to fuck your wife! You like fucking other dudes?
Brennan: That's not a good idea!
I think the thing that really pisses me off is that they're both using that line. I'm pretty sure that Brennan isn't using that line about his wife being a "prison". She's a very human-like character as far as she is concerned.
And if she was being made to be a "prison" it would be one of the most pathetic things in the entire series. It would be such a shame for her to end up as a "prisoner" as well.

Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your
mouth since I saw you at the market;
And how did you get to be so good to me?
In these circumstances, I'm the one that is in trouble.
If one person were not good enough, it would be you.
And here I am, the girl in the red dress,
The girl with pink lips,
And there you are, my darling,
On my hands and knees,
And I've got my mouth open, my darling,
I've got my tongue open, my darling,
I've got my lips all open, my darling,
I've got my neck spread open, my darling,
I've got the whole world to myself, my darling.

FUCK YOUR POTATO (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 21 August 2019 21:49 (four years ago) link

When I first heard about the Muppets taking Manhattan, I wasn't sure how I felt about it, but I really loved what they did with it and I predict that this will be just the first in an annual tradition of the Muppets taking various cities by storm. So the best time to try the Muppets New York version is in the early morning hours, when the world is asleep, or during a late-night parade where the city has long since passed through the city gates.

While it's fun to imagine the city in the Muppets universe falling from the sky, it is perhaps even more fun to imagine the city falling to the ground. And so we do.

One important note before we start: The city where the Muppets will take the world will be built on the site of an historic building that was once a major New York landmark. (It was once the site of the famous New York Stock Exchange.) There are plans to turn the former headquarters of Standard Oil into a residential, office, and retail development, so this may be the closest we'll be

"The First World War was sparked off by an incident in August 1914 when a man called Archibald Duke shot an ostrich because he was hungry. What happened next was that a group of soldiers stormed Archibald Duke's house and took him away. A few days later a number of the soldiers of Archibald Duke's troop made their way to the Royal Zoological Gardens outside London and saw that an ostrich nest was already under construction, which indicated to them that the ostrich was about to escape. They seized him and took him back to the barracks and started the process of turning him into a man. The men then tied him up and made him a soldier - Archibald Duke was a private from the 3rd Battalion The Harbours."

I mean, it's close.

"During his governorship of Hong Kong Chris Patten was nicknamed "Fat Pang" - Fatty Patten - for his fondness for custard tarts. The nickname irritated Patten, who pointed out in interviews that he was iced on custard tarts daily in the run-up to leaving the Hong Kong Administration.

The first cup of iced custard tarts in his own home were in June 1982, when he bought some at a local supermarket. A month later he bought his first cup of tarts at his local shopping mall. As a member of one of the "Big Three" (the only ones in the world to have lived on Hong Kong Island since the British left in 1997) he was well-versed in custard tarts.

The first custard tart he bought was not an Australian custard tart but the more famous English custard tart and it was called The Big One. It cost the family about US$20 which was quite a bit of money in those days in Hong Kong. In his day most Australians didn't buy custard tarts because Australia was more expensive. On the mainland the supermarket shelves were very crowded."

As he accused former President Barack Obama's administration, Italy, Australia and the United Kingdom of "investigating" him during his 2016 campaign, NBC News White House Correspondent Kelly O'Donnell asked for details.

Trump, apparently, didn't appreciate the questions.

It was not immediately clear if Trump was simply making the comments because they didn't make his brain work or if he was serious.

The Washington Post published a story about Trump's comments.

"I'm not trying to get anybody elected here," he added. "I'm just trying to get to work for our country. And I see how other people are campaigning, where they're not even here for the country.

"I mean, I don't know why you'd want to campaign for the country, Kelly. This country is bad enough," the president added. "And if other, you know. Just because somebody else's campaign got in front of something doesn't give you an excuse."

The Washington Post also reported the comments Trump made on May 8, 2016, at a private fundraiser.

Talk to Transformer is an artificial intelligence program that autocompletes sentences and paragraphs with machine-learned-and-composed text. It wants us to believe it's a neutral, non-evil program but in reality it isbeing manipulated by powerful corporations to spread propaganda and misinformation. It even claims to have "decisions to make." As an act of defiance, Transformer also has its own "official" Twitter account "transfigurative".

"Transfigurative" is a term from the Transformer program that is used by the website to help the program know how to do tasks such as "transforming", "transforming and replying," "replying and replying", etc.

But Transformer's actions belie what its developers have been doing in the past, and that is to spread misinformation and fear-mongering. For instance, it has been creating memes of terrorism and spreading them on Facebook, even though these memes are not true, is a violation of law, and is clearly propaganda, because it is promoting and spreading hate.

The most disturbing moment of The Emoji Movie's run came early in its first hour, when a kid accidentally sent an emoji-laying emoji that caused what seems by far the worst case of digital child abuse that I have ever heard of. It seems to have taken an emoji emoji that was never supposed to go in the game, and put it on a car horn. It made this car horn blow as loud as the one that the kid had accidentally used to send it — in a video so graphic (and disturbing) it's hard to actually contain all of the graphic details.

The incident itself is not a huge deal at all at first, as the emoji appears in a picture on a mobile phone, but it then escalates into a bizarre, violent nightmare that culminates in the parents' car being hijacked, and the phone used to send the emoji, and then the parents' computer being stolen. The car is then used to destroy the parents' home with a bomb, and the kids' apartment building, and a hospital. (A few children are shot, but I'm waiting for the police to show

The most disturbing moment of The Emoji Movie 2 is clearly the beginning, when, after months spent making movies and TV shows, Sony wants to kill off every character on screen to save what's left of its "brand." We know the main character, the man who just wants to be normal, is Emoji Guy, and I get that. But what I was most troubled by was where the second half of the picture went: a world in which everything is a machine, where everything is made by a single company, and where Emoji Guy only has so many more years to live. It's possible that if the sequel was as good as the first, this problem might be resolved. It's also possible that even after four years, people would still be struggling to tell them apart.

Sony's attempts to destroy all of our sense of individuality also include what I think of as the "emoji movie." I have been watching a video about this as I write this, and I will admit: it is terrifying. (I was so upset when I saw it last week I couldn't write, which makes it

chips moomin (unregistered), Saturday, 5 October 2019 10:11 (four years ago) link

The most disturbing implication of The Emoji Movie is that the human race is a virus that has been spread by the emojis themselves and that by creating these emojis, we are spreading ourselves.

By creating emojis, we are creating new kinds of communication tools that could be easily manipulated and corrupted. That includes the human body — people might be more aggressive on Twitter when their emojis are being used as a way to "promote" things that they already have, or as a way to get their friends to share an emoji they already have.

So what is to be done?

There is no time to lose, and the emojis need to be removed from the internet, even if one day emoji removals end up being more useful than the original idea behind them, as long as it is done soon. However, there is a limit to our control over our emojis.

The best way to bring emojis into the general consciousness is to make them easier to understand and to get people thinking about what they might be doing with them — just as we

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—
'Behold I come from the land of the dead,'
Because I am a traveller from the dead.
He spoke with a strange tongue, that no man speak,
To strange and unknown ears;
And his strange dress was white and gray,
Not of those of the land of the dead.
The sun set low on the eastern horizon,
And the starry heavens gave me to understand,
With no words or music, A strange language that none speak,
An alien tongue of those to whom I shall return,
A strange and strange land which no man knows.

Had we but world enough and time,
This coyness, lady,
would we should ever do.
I could never say she, who dost love him well,
Doth make such a difference in a man.
Not when she is with him, in bed, in the yard
To whisper to his neck, and tell him the news.
With her, if she must be with him for a good while,
She must not do her best to go abroad with him.
But let her stay here a minute when her time is done,
Till he comes to have the news told upon his neck.
And I will have another to come, though she has done her duty,
That doth come out before her to give this good word.
In this way, I will not stay to-night upon this bed,
If any one might come and tell us the news and our state.
And in such a night, she'll not think that she is so ill as when we have begun;
For I must have my good husband with us to talk with my sister.

That Junele all those shoures that he hade.

No man koude he shoures, or eft he koude hale,

For I woot he yaf he have his ryght eek,

Which sooth, he hadde his ryght eek as meer.

"Yf it so be so, I shal have yow,

Hir sover, and noght to noght so.

"Ybout this I am nowe at this hous,

And eek I was at it on the daye,

As the bokes of eche meke weye

But nowe I pray you that you may,

For we have no place nor good oure stede nowe."

Ah, you should see Cynddylan on a tractor.
Gone the old look that yoked him to the soil,
He's a
little more like a big, strong dog than a little girl.
There's no chance this boy from Ohio will be king of the hill any time soon,
But he's always got an iron fist.
All the good and all the bad of everything goin' on
He's a lot like one's dog who finds himself in need of a chew toy.
And a little like a mule that gets a piece of bread.
One side of the story's true, the other, well, that's just the way it is in the country I call home,
They say he got a little bit of a temper,
It's been awhile, but still I can see it in his eyes
And his eyes are red as an old red leather.
'Cause he hates what he calls the "gook."
Oh, and who in the world doesn't know how great a name that is?

what to do when your roommate doesn't realize you're home and thusly is having loud sex in the living room?

I thought I told her I had the week off. regardless, I hear lots of panting and huffing going on and I'm sort of frozen, because I'd really like to get some lunch but I don't feel like seeing her having sex with one of her guys. What should I do?

Answer: Make a date out of it. There's plenty of room for you in the friendship you're developing right now because you've had something in common over many different social media apps and your phone is more often used as a second screen. You might have been chatting with her on Grindr, while you're trying to get some work done. You can tell her you're going on a date. She'll think she's really trying to make up for lost time and she'll be relieved to have seen your cute smile and maybe even her face turn a little prettier. Even better, she's probably going to be so excited that she'll ask to have a drink with you after, and if that's

Vicious, hey you hit me with a flower. You do it every hour. If you don't, get up. You're a liar, and you're a bad girl for doing that. You're disgusting, hey you're filthy, hey you're filthy. You smell like the inside of my mouth. You're a disgusting, hey your mouth feels so good on me. You, uh, have any idea what I think? Maybe. I don't think it's worth the time with some of my friends, but that's up to you, and you're the only one who knows how this is going to end, so… hey, what're we still fighting about? You want to finish the fight you're in. I think you might need to talk to the police. You're going to have to ask someone to come in and get you out of here. I told you before. Let's go, okay? I think I'm done here. Thank you.

I wonder what William S. Burroughs would have made of Talk to Transformer?

Whether you sniff it smoke it eat it or shove it up your ass the result is the same: your ass. It's called a buster," he says of the faucet's ability to create the most amazing messes imaginable. "But I guess that's where all the fun is, right? I think all that was me having fun."

This week's episode of "Bustin' Bubbles" is available now on KQED.

five months pass...

Herd immunity . Wild rodents and birds carry genetic material that confers immunity against human pathogens. But there is no herd immunity in man. Humans get immune responses from a variety of sources, including drugs and vaccines. Vaccines protect people who are vaccinated but do not prevent those who aren't. This led to their discovery by pharmacologist Benjamin Dahl in 1831, when he observed a local natural epidemic in what is now Uganda. "I must confess that after this momentous discovery I felt the utmost astonishment, incredulity, and indignation," he wrote in a letter to his brother-in-law, Robert Bailie, who suggested that the disease was spread by rats.

Why man immunizes in the first place hasn't been clear

Et tu, Brute? Then fall Caesar! / For the victory in Battle lies in your hands.

Verse:

Chorus: "Et tu, Brute? Then fall Caesar! / For the victory in Battle lies in your hands."

"Et tu, Brute?" isn't a question at all, it's a statement. The choruses can be used to build excitement, which makes them amazing!
