Quick tip since we're on the subject.

For those still using the glass bottles, the easy way to get the ketchup flowing is to tilt the bottle with the opening where you want the ketchup to go. Then bang lightly on the side of the bottle, not the back. I use the knuckle on my middle finger, but feel free to do whatever works for you.

Ketchup isn't quite a non-Newtonian fluid, but it's close. The vibration gets it moving under the air bubble, allowing the air to flow in and breaking the air lock. Hitting the back only pushes against the air lock, making it harder.

Not many glass bottles around these days though. Don't miss them.

I go to my local city hall. Notary, fax, copies, and certified copies are all free. Don't know if other small towns offer those services, but worth checking.

Instant karma's gonna get you....

It's no coincidence that the majority of astronauts are from Ohio. It's so bad that they don't just want to leave the state, they want to leave the planet! :)

The U2 incident nearly started WW3, so they decided to temper that a bit. Any lower level incursion does get an intercept, though usually along the lines of "yes we see you". We played a lot of cat and mouse games with the Soviets over the Bering Sea. :)

The image shown matches a scientific device quite well, especially the balloon itself is typical US Meteorological Service. The path it's taken has me thinking it may have originated in Alaska, where the USMS has a major facility. Could also be Canadian, but I'm not familiar with their programs.

There was much more to KAL007 than just a spy plane would have been.

After the U2 incident, the major powers came to a gentleman's agreement that they don't shoot down our stuff, we don't shoot down theirs. China has not held to the agreement very well (or successfully, they fired on our SR-71's but never got a hit) but we likely don't want to start that whole mess again.

Considering the number of spy satellites China has over the US at any given time, this strikes me more as a psyop or a unrelated project that went off track than specifically a spy balloon.

Where your rivals the Mustard packet gang?

You're thinking of round shot. It was made of iron because lead would deform on impact, and not have a tendency to bounce, or would expend it's energy in deformation when hitting a solid structure. Iron shot's biggest advantage was momentum. It would bounce along as basically a wrecking ball, causing massive injuries to anyone/thing caught in it's way, or impart it's energy into the masonry of a fortification or the hull of a ship. The early round shot was actually made of stone, around the 15th century or so.

There were a number of shot available for cannon, some which were made of lead, such as some grape/cannister shot, an antipersonnel round made up of much smaller balls.

Some Dinosaurs have been found partially unfossilized, one even in a fully non-fossilized state, with even the skin pigment preserved (mummification). It all depends on the circumstances surrounding it's burial over time. Of course, such finds are exceedingly rare.

It's not about drying speed, though increased surface area does speed drying, the surface area of a piece of clothing is too small to have a practical effect. From the practical standpoint, it's about how the cloth will be affected by it's position when drying. Cloth will take a "set" as it dries, which you will want to use to your advantage, and avoid an improper set. For example, hanging a shirt by pinning it's tail end will put the greater weight of the shirt at the bottom, which helps decrease (but not necessarily remove) wrinkles by using the weight to help draw the wrinkles out as it dries. Avoid folding in the middle and placing clothing over the line, as it will put a crease mark in it that can be difficult to iron out.

Drying time is much more affected by temperature and humidity levels of the area you live in than position on the line. When I lived in the Southwestern desert, during the summer, by the time I had hung the last of my clothes on the line, I could go back to the first item and remove it, as it had dried. Down here in humid Florida, that is not the case. A more extreme example is hanging wet clothes in the winter in northern climates. The clothes will still dry even though they will freeze first, but it will take much longer.

I get the tetanus shot as part of my routine office visit every 5 years, saves me an extra trip to the Dr. at some point during the year. (Wound management schedule timing) Tool Time Taylor has nothing on me! lol

Every year is overkill for rabies vaccine for pets. It lasts 3+ years unless there is a weaker version I don't know about. Are you sure the law requires the vaccine, or just that the rabies vacc be verified and a new tag issued each year?

My vet wouldn't even give a rabies vacc under 2.5 years from the previous one unless the circumstances required it. The exception is for puppies, they get it at 4-6 months, with a booster after 1 year, but it's 3 years from then on. The vaccine actually lasts a little longer than that, but the expiration has so many variables that they revaccinate every 3 years. Much better safe than sorry in this case. This is one vaccine you don't want to take chances with.

I acknowledge that some state/local laws aren't based on reality or common sense though......

It would be close to the original saturation, if not the same, if the bottle remains sealed for at least 12 hours after thawing. The expandability of the container would be a determining factor, basically by determining the final ambient pressure for the duration. Boyle's + Henry's laws.
