You see it in Japanese and Chinese cooking and it's a cleaning step.

Reminds me of a September drive on I-10 from Florida to New Orleans. A couple of mated lovebigs hit my windshield. One survived, the other was goo, but the living one couldn't disengage.

Yes, in a limited sense. It was in a heated dorm, so there were no temperature challenges. Also it probably wasn't a viable lawn; the sprouts would mainly just be consuming whatever calories were stored in the seed, with no way to make real roots and not much light to eat from the window and fluorescent overheads.

My college had a dorm resident who transferred during winter break and spread grass seed and water over his room because he hated his roommate. 2 weeks later, the roommate arrived to a pretty thick lawn over every surface. This was the early 90s, so no ubiquitous cameras, unfortunately.

Indeed, and based on a radio show from the 1950s. Sponsored by Fatima cigarettes. Bill Gannon wasn't on that one, but Harry Morgan had a few bit parts here and there.

I was thinking if you carried these, you've gotta have a pen on you to mark the boxes. Then I realized the better move is to get a hole punch, made for punch cards (small hole, custom shape) which makes a bigger impression than a tick of a pen.

I'm kinda curious what shirt OP has that could be cooler than a Ramones tee.

I'm in Seattle proper so I'll be okay, but my parents are in Lacey, kinda close to the Nisqually, which is going to get the hot mud treatment. It's definitely on their minds.

This thing has erupted 5 times in the last 6 years, so they probably think they have a good idea of which areas are unaffected. And that sort of thing is true, right up until something changes and those areas, full of people, are "affected" with lots of hot ash. But it's also hard not to think of a mountain as a permanent thing. I say this living near two volcanoes, one of which blew its own top clean off back in '80.

Volcán Fuego, near the city of Antigua, Guatemala. It's a stratovolcano. Last eruption was in May, and it's pretty darn active; 5 eruptions since the start of 2018.

“We had a fantastic time. It was a two-and-a-half-week trip so we decided to get tattooed to commemorate the whole thing.

“We were at lunch one day and talking about how beautiful the Arabic language is especially written out.

“We picked up a mayonnaise package and we were like ‘even mayonnaise looks really beautiful’ written in Arabic, so it became an inside joke.”

Mountain Dew always sounded to me like a rum-runner's slang for illegal booze, another term being "stump juice." (Because the bottle would be hidden in a hollow stump.)

A hostel that close should have the malt plumbed in!

The hospital is gouging the customer, which is the insurance company, not the patient. And this is just the opening negotiation; that's before the hospital and insurance company look at the secret price book they both agreed on and insurance pays the actual price.

Watch it again! The plot is a contrivance for the character stuff anyway.

Also, taxes aren't the only form of airport revenue-- you have to pay to land someplace, pay to fuel up, pay for other services. (Fortunately, they let you land your plane first and pay later.)

In fact, they aren't 1/6 of the flights, they're 1/6 of the flight hours of turbojets-- the IPS screwed up their reading of FAA stats. Also these here stats don't include all other types of aircraft (prop/turboprop/experimental planes, rotorcraft) and flight roles (chartered cargo, instructional, business no-crew (like FedEx)), and so on. We need a whole different set of stats to begin to answer your question, though.

If you're talking actual amounts, they pay far far more than poor people. The word you're looking for is "percentage."
