Not sure how I missed this 17 years ago, but video of the first Pizza Hut pizza delivery made to outer space:



(Despite the fact that the delivery vehicle traveled at nearly mach 25, the pizza took more than 30 minutes to get there. Cost? US$1 million even. Not sure what the expected tip is on that.)

Cook it yourself? No more than 15%.

That's great! The numbers regarding human consumption per person is so staggeringly large as to be incomprehensible.

The tank helps so people on an individual level which helps them connect. Excellent.

Since I drive for work, the company provides one of these for the fuel:



And they pay a handsome monthly vehicle allowance on top of it. What I don't spend on the truck I get to pocket, but I'm technically supposed to be driving a truck less than 5 years old. They don't enforce it because they don't care and they consider it to be a perk of the job, added compensation.

This wrench feels more like a movie prop than an actual tool. Not the weight (it's plenty heavy), just the size. It's almost comedic.



But, on the plus side, the jackscrew on Dish 9 is now loose.

My oil drain on the turbo came loose one day. Only way I could tighten it was with a custom wrench. Even the special AN fitting wrenches don't fit.



We have 1" drive air impact gun at work. Takes 1/2" air line. That thing is fun.

Do the chickens that produce eggs also make the ultimate sacrifice to nurish us?

Yes. Pretty much 100% of egg-laying hens are used for meat once they reach menopause, unless they are unfit due to disease or injury.

The "It's not the dog, it's the owner" crowd can crow all they want, but the basic statistics are that Pit bull dogs (American pit bull terrier, American Staffordshire terrier, Staffordshire bull terrier) are responsible for 71% of all fatal dog attacks in the US, and a slightly higher percentage of maimings. (Sorry, four year old girl who no longer has a face and a right arm. Your neighbor likes owning a fully-automatic assault dog, and your parents are powerless to protect you from this.)

And, unlike AR-15s, Pit Bulls routinely commit murder all by themselves.
