WARNING: do not eat Purslane unless you're sure it's Purslane.

Spurge looks very similar, usually grows in all the same places, and is poisonous.

Try searching for "trencher" instead of "trench cutter". Or possibly "vermeer trencher" to avoid photos of WWI and people wearing trench coats.

(pronounced /ˈʃɪbəlɛθ/[1] or /ˈʃɪbələθ/[2])

Just be sure to use the correct one.

I wish someone would put together a compromise cut that restores all the material that was cut solely for moralistic reasons but chops down on some of the more needlessly wordy sections

I wish someone would do this with Atlas Shrugged. I think it would make a fine sci-fi novel if about 500 pages of redundant monologues were trimmed out. Also, maybe some back-story could be added so that we could know more about what caused everyone except sociopaths to become mentally retarded.

I find it humorous that a subreddit dedicated to relationship advice is completely littered with silly drama and mod-fights like this.

tjw

Call me cold-hearted, but I'm actually happy to see the diligence displayed by the lenders here.

tjw

Also, the name they've chosen for their DSL plans: Naked Home 1-6 seems to be marketed directly at subgenii.

tjw

Even accidental references to Bob are probably orchestrated by Bob in one way or another.

tjw

Hah, I've never heard that one. I was referencing this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Peter_Pumpkin_Eater

TIL that both rhymes probably have the same origin:

Pre-mixed sack-crete isn't much more expensive than mixing in your own cement, sand, and stone. Besides, it's worth paying a little more for the peace-of-mind that comes with a carefully measured and uniform mix IMO.

Why are they called stock cars? Do they all have the same specs?

The general idea of stock car racing is that you start out with a car that is stock and modify it for racing. Of course, this has devolved into making a fiberglass mold in the same general shape of a late model car and placing that over a custom-built race car.

NASCAR is very similar to Formula 1 or IndyCar racing except that they are handicapped by a set of rules that forces their cars to look like passenger cars.

No, Peter Piper was the guy who had a wife and couldn't keep her, the Pied Piper was the guy who drove all the snakes out of Ireland.

Please do not mistake my upvote as a request for pictures.

I think this is good advice, but those guys are so hung up on the first coming of Christ that they may not believe you. I think /r/Jewish would be more receptive to the idea.

tjw

That's pica. Anorexia means you have super-human strength.

Better to be taken for a SUCKER by Bob than to get SOLD CHEAP to the Conspiracy.

tjw

How is it that these Acadian settlements were allowed to remain while all of the other French-speakers were expelled? Is it just that these were the only people who agreed to swear allegiance to the British?

tjw

I highly recommend watching this recent episode of PBS's Nature. The whole episode is amazing.

tjw

If this didn't happen I'd be speaking french right now.

Good thing you weren't born in Chéticamp then or you might be anyway.

tjw

You misspelled alfalfa :)

I wouldn't recommend buying a Lodge. Buy polished cast iron cookware instead. It's much easier to season and use thanks to the smooth cooking surface.

They make these new here:

Otherwise, you can usually find old ones at garage sales. They were highly popular before the invention of Teflon.

tjw

That looks a lot more fun that trolling jerks on reddit.

tjw

Yeah, but I'm not sure this roll of stickers would fit in her pooper.

tjw

I wonder about the materials for this thing.

First, just consider what the material price for a brand new BMW is.

The guy could probably low the price, find a number of more buyers

It doesn't look like he's set up for manufacturing, it's an artisan-scale operation there. Besides, if he was manufacturing, it would be cheaper to just have it made in China anyway.
