I applaud this as well. I should donate, but I still hold onto some resentment, as I was unwilling to lie about my sexuality in the 80's, and my donation attemps were not only unwanted, but I was treated extremely rudely by the blood bank staff. You'd think I'd have gotten past that by now.
Maybe you can work out a "you stick one in me, I stick one in you" trade? Art of the Squeal?

I hate to keep hijacking Al's Birthday thread, but getting into a state-off with me is a bit like bringing a knife to a gunfight. What resources does Tennessee bring to the Country? Mini Pearl?
Dolly Parton and Elvis Presley.
I believe that's what they call "checkmate."

How is anyone supposed to compete with a comeback from a MENSA member? That was a brutal takedown!
For an 8 year old.
Well, the average Amerikkkan has a 5th grade vocabulary. I had to tone it down a bit for Alaskans and lawyers.

RIP to James Harrison, the man who saved 2 million babies.
I don't have this, but I'm O-Neg and CMV-Neg (universal for neo-natal emergencies.) I learned about this guy when I found out I had some pretty special blood (7% of pop has O-Neg, and 15% are CMV-neg, so I'm in the 1%). He hasn't been able to give in a bit, but he made a huge impact.

2" Rack, as much as I love 1UP (and I do), after losing 5-6k of bikes/tools/skateboards, I wanted the most secure bike rack I could get/afford. That wound up being a Thule T2 Pro XT 1.25" 2-bike rack. (You know me and deals, I got it for free from Performance Bike after I mathed the fuck out of them.) That was my 2nd choice, behind Kuat and just above 1UP, because the built-in security was the best.
Cost no object? Kuat Piston Pro X
There's a Thule T2 Pro XTR now that supersedes mine, and a more rational choice, but don't overlook the in-between Kuat Pisto Pro.

Outdoor Gear Lab is a great review site, and a good starting point (trusted by both me and the Ginger Avenger) for most things outdoorsy.
If you have your own system of securing the bikes on a rack? 1UP HD still has tons going for it.-

Hmmmm... 7D II was on my radar for a while, since most of my lenses are EF-S these days.

Hippy birbday, @cetoole!
I asked Bing.com to make some images for the occasion and I couldn't pick just one, so here are, well, all of them. Note, there was nothing alcoholic or drink related in the prompts (my bad), but Bing knows you (or me?) too well. I mean, this one even got the lime!
This had a super cute pupperz
This also has a super cute pupperz
This one has pupperz of cuteness and a longboard style that I belieb you may have one of already. Don't you love the truck mounting?

Happy birthday, you vintage bastard!
I'm glad that I was with you when we found out about the SCOTUS decision in 2015, then got to go meet some of your Apple buddies at the parade. Good times.
Also, figure you may like this Mensa shirt
Though perhaps you'd prefer:
Either way, happy to listen to you tell stories of your time as an extra on:

Was suggested this by a friend, but he couldn't give me much info due to giving too much away. I'll do you the same courtesy and just say "it's worth the watch."
Hour long episodes, 4 have dropped so far with 4 more coming. Next one on Tuesday. Looking forward to it.-

Flickr turned 21 and did post on Instagram about it because
Zucc won't rest until he consumes us allthat's the age we live in. Apparently a shot I took in 2006 is featured in it.
Instagram ruins the shot, as it does to all things
including the mental health of anyone who uses it.
The original isn't bad, if I do say so myself.
So, did they actually ask permission, or was that in some ToS that you signed away everything years ago?
Also, did they let you know, or just... you found it? -

Anyone else spend hours listening to young people reaction videos? #anyone #bueller #tobeyoungagain #fucktrump
I'm not sure who this The Band is, but I LOVE the REACT channel. Kids/teens/adults/senior citizens/etc. reacting to things. It's great!

I've told you, or you've heard of, this movie, right?
This is one of the best documentaries ever. I mean, I may have event watched this with you, I just can't remember anymore.-

Steak day two..
Yesterday's was a little heavy on the smoke for me. So I set the Chimp again to 225 until internal probe temp of 115f, but at a lower smoke setting. Then used cast iron pan on induction stove top to sear for 2 min {30 sec per side}. Steak flavors much more in balance with just a touch of smoke. Very close to what I wanted.
Science!
I do enjoy a good science project!

They lost me on the pads, obviously, but Todd still sells flats. The price isn't particularly competitive with used HP1/2/3, even. That said, I'd love to hear them.
https://gradolabs.com/products/grado-headphone-replacement-cushion-f
Look familiar?
Grado is now selling "F-Cushions", aka "Flat Pads... and these headphones come with both G (salad bowels) and F (flats) cushions.
They also have a nice little chart on their pad page that shows all the things that they work with:
https://gradolabs.com/collections/headphone-cushions
One thing I'm happy about, as someone who has had HF-2s that have been down for a couple years due to a bad cable and I just haven't gotten together with @cetoole (who has a Tyll-esque appreciate for Grados) to recable them, is that they have an effective-standard of mini-XLR jacks for cables. That opens up SO many opportunities to make something ridiculous.
Who is the first person to make the plunge and then have @n_maher woody them?-

So this is 3 hours, but well worth it. I know people who've put it on at 1.5x or 2x, but there's a point where a company shows a spreadsheet of their actual numbers and how the tariffs affect their product.
Spoiler alert: on a product with a 5$ margin that's MSRP is 130$, it's costing them over 90$ for each one that's sold.
