A side product to the spreader bar is it provides some rocker and some added maneuverability.

Looked it up, I've only heard it as a "conversation between two or more people as a feature of a book, play, or movie." Not as a conversation to resolve. Learned something new. I am pretty sure they use it as a known though I'll have to listen next time. Thanks for dialoguing with me.

But "vlogger" has such a wonderful mouthfeel. Dialogue is another word that seems to have become popular. I know what they are trying to say, but it seems so suitable when the news outlets say someone or something needs to have a dialogue. They mean conversation, but to me dialogue means t...

Boardroom speak/jargon (or what ever it is called) is the stuff I cannot handle. It mangles the language to obfuscate. The boardrooms should really circle back and touch base with the guy on main street to visualize the way they impacted the zeitgeist.

Poorly used idioms are a close second.

In general large bores favors the lower octave. I have no idea how the small bore's low D sounds power wise, but I'm sure it is fine if a respected maker lets it out his door. One thing I do wonder about is pitch. I have 2 whistles an Oak and a Trad. The Oak is narrow and tuning is flexible, the Dix...

Salty and overpowering I ended up making it again with plain pork shank which balanced the flavors out. I have found that several recipes are better with fresh rather than preserved ingredients which am sure they would have used when available. If I can get fresh or even frozen cod I'm not going dow...

This post got me to thinking about the recent spelling-and-grammar-thread, here . Are we going back to a more free-form version of written English? Is the new technology taking us back to someplace old? I think with the rise of the internet people have been writing often but informally. Back when I...

Most cookbooks have something in them that just seems questionable given time. I am a fan of the Jas. Townsen and son cooking videos and some of the recipes make my Midwestern "marshmallows on sweet potatoes" stomach turn. I got some salt pork (pork preserved in salt and soaked to remove m...

I was just being silly. Look at user name. I'm not all that deep.

Or the need to find reasons to use "Smilies" even if he doesn't.

Yes, but can you hide a photo in text? I am not sure what you are asking. The amount of data required for an image is much, much larger than the amount of data required for a piece of text. And the accuracy of the data required for the image is much lower than the accuracy required for text. So the...

Late to the party but this reminded me of something.

I have given pleasant compliments to people that were close to me and they knew that my intent was malicious.

Yes, but can you hide a photo in text? All in all cool stuff. I'll have to use something like this if I ever put photos on the internet with my information hidden in it so that if it is lifted it can be verified that it was my work. What happens if someone reduces image size to a thumbnail, is the h...

But what a wonderful snowy morning. I am sure my apple blossoms are dead, so no picking up apples off the ground this year!

Just curious about their keyed F polymer and if it would be likely to be a paperweight.
