Police say Sinead O'Connor found safe, no details released

:neutral:





Sorreh. Sorrrry, urrbody.[/clevelandbrown]

Good for her. I hope she gets better.

I liked her one hit.

I really liked her first album, The Lion and the Cobra

This was my favourite from the album: (she was about 19 here) Shades of Siouxie Sioux to this one



We're all well acquainted with her look now, but back in the late 80s, she was startling.

This was also a great track - this was the one that was more of a chart hit

It's been seven hours and fifteen days...!

We used to wail that line (along with the rest of the song) while prepping the day's ingredients at the Domino's Pizza where my friend and I worked.

Old quarry near runway now saves airport $430,000 a year

Attachment 56586

They are using the lake as a heat sink, but what happens when the heat sink warms up? I hope they have done their math and don't find in a couple of years they have heated the water and surrounding rock and it is no longer efficient, or heating the water increases evaporation and dries the lake.

I expect that the quarry folk struck a spring, which filled the quarry, and, springs usually being cold, keeps the water a steady temp.


[drift] A buddy of mine was approached by a neighboring farm to use his spring-fed pond as an irrigation source. During the egineering, the water temp was tested several times, as was the actual water entering the pond. The spring water was a constant 49 degrees.[/drift]

Quarries are often much deeper than lakes, so it should take longer than you might expect to warm up. But the math point is still valid.

I would sometimes swim in a quarry not too far from home as a kid, and it was much colder than the lakes in the area. It was worth it though, because of the cliffs.

Yes, but they're pumping a shitload of BTUs into that quarry. Evidently the evaporation rate and inflow balanced in the past. If the evaporation rate increases from the added heat, I wonder if the inflow will increase also.

I didn't know there was a race.:eek:

Gravediggers compete in race judged on speed and style

The winners dug a hole 2'7" wide x 6'6" long x 5'3" deep in "just over 34 minutes". Daaaayum.:3_eyes:

Can you dig it? I knew that you could.:cool:

Maaybe.

Depends on where and with what.

Backhoe, no problem.

A shame not to plunk 18 coffins into those holes while they were open.

I'm sure you've seen the video of the woman who bought the Chewbacca mask at Kohls and posted a 4 minute video.

My god, what a country. :facepalm:

It resonated and she got her 15 minutes of fame and a big check too. Good for her. It seemed genuine.

I was surprised there was no youtube money, I guess because she put it on basefook.

Waitchewbaccamaskwhutnow?

Wow. She enjoyed that waaaaaaay too much.:lol2:

Thank you, Bruce.

It’s not a Fourth Amendment search if a cop swipes your credit card

Man Charged with Murder After His Ex-Girlfriend Commits Suicide to 'Escape the Relationship' in Rare Case

:eyebrow:

Driver license contains bar codes and other information readable only by a scanner. Should one win on appeal because an officer read those bar or QR codes on his license? Even if a security code is not printed on the license - only in a computer readable code? Same difference.

Mine don't.:D

Not yet, anyway.:fingerx:

KY does not have any security features on its driver's licenses? I thought that makes a license unacceptable for other purposes such as boarding a plane?

Dammit, ya made me go look.

There is a bar code/QR code-looking hybrid-type thingy across the back.

Attachment 57200

I'm not sure if I knew that was there.

This license prolly hasn't been out of my wallet since I got it. Nevermind. :facepalm:

Why wear gloves when checking a KY drivers license?

Anthrax. Them hillbillies have cattle and horses and whatnot and don't even wash their hands!

Hey! I'm right here!

:D

We must see what that TSA guard sees. So that what an Anthrax victim looks like? KY breeds an anthrax epidemic! We know it is true. It was written on the internet.

He didn't want to get the KY on his hands

Or, he wanted to get it on his gloves.

In preparation for the second step in the boarding process...cavity search, his favorite.

Which only proves that going to work early is unhealthy. Best always be late (as in still alive).

The irony. Or something.

That's almost poetic.

Duelling Officers Set Fire To Mess
 

Army, RAF and RN officers are known for their 'creativity' when it comes to making their own entertainment.
The longer the evening goes on, the more 'creative' the entertainment becomes, except in this case when it became destructive.
I imagine that this will result in more than an uncomfortable 'hats on interview without tea and bickies'.
I couldn't upload the images in the story as the file sizes are too big, but you can see them for yourself here: Link.

That was a great story.

News just in...
 

At least the cheese board was saved from the inferno.

Fearless Freep

At one point, his heart rate was shown at 148bpm!

Why would anyone want to do that? Just why?

perhaps not the best phrasing...

Suicidal, but can't go through with it.

So he could brag about his net worth.

Adrenaline junkies do a lot of strange things.

We sees what you did there.

Q: What's his net worth?

A: About the same as his golden parachute.

I briefly considered posting this in Idiot Of The Day but I think that the poor chap has suffered enough, however his surname provides added comic value.

The article was in The Times and is behind Uncle Rupert's paywall but The Register has its own take on the subject.

‘Criminal Minds’: Thomas Gibson Fired in Wake of On-Set Altercation

Attachment 57543

The first article I read said he was suspended for two shows. Now he's fired. How do ya fire the star of the show?!

They had no choice when they found out he was a polygamist leading a double life and cheating on Dharma.

"Hey Tom, haveaniceweekendyou'refired!"

They fired him because he KICKED a writer during the filming of an episode he was directing. None of the stories I've seen so far mention where or how hard the writer got kicked, just that Gibson lost his temper over "creative differences".

I read that he kicked the person in the shin. Perhaps it was a case of Olimpick fever!

In his autobiography, John Muir describes a similar game he played as a child in Scotland. The boys would face off toe to toe and grasp each other's left forearm then using their free hand they would beat one another on the shins until one cried uncle.

He claims this, and other deprivations gave him the mental fortitude to withstand the difficulties he encountered during his travels.

That's one hell of an over engineered sausage, or BMW construction standards have slipped. :)
