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.

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.

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.

Can you dig it? I knew that you could.

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.

Quote:
According to Money, the grand total is roughly $420,000.

Money breaks down the amount like this: $3,000 in gift cards from Kohl’s +$5,000 travel expenses for talk shows + $2,500 gift card from Hasbro + $7,500 Disney World vacation for the family + $2,000 for the VIP treatment at Fan Expo Dallas + $400,000 in college scholarships for her family.

That’s a whole lot of money. It’s just under half a million dollars, and it all came out of posting a 4-minute video where she laughs in her car over a CHEWBACCA MASK. Clearly, this wookiee is winning.
My god, what a country.
