Fertilizer futures

Special K: One thing I'll miss about the pandemic is people weren't totally focused on buying dumb shit all the time.

Molecule KENO!

b1-66er: "As a giant clock counted down to 12:01 Tuesday morning, crowds cheered the complete reopening of downtown Las Vegas for the first time in more than a year, with live music and no mask or social distancing required."

Stearno: What happens in Vegas, stays aerosolized.

Careful with that air chamber in Eugene

b1-66er: Nice descriptive article.
(Probably old news to you.)

b1-67er: The salient fact that article leaves out is people get killed trying to take those air chambers apart.  The spring has many hundreds of pounds of spring force in the compressed spring.  If you take the clamp off the outside of the chamber, it will launch the chamber shell at hundreds of miles an hour, destroying everything in its path.  Happens often.

Like a flaming dragon of love...

What in the hell brought it to your attention?
(Or is this one of those opera singer related things?)

DH: Serendipity-doo. Happened to turn on PBS just as it started. Fully expected to switch channels, but ended up watching the whole thing (1 hour)

b1: Crazy.
So much for the "Public" part of Public Broadcasting Service from a community/safety standpoint...
......Good thing no one was just starting to shoot heroin when you tuned in.

DH: Hahaha I'd probably watched that too

b1: Watch is not the verb I worry about...
... with you.

DH: Haha, yah. I've been on jags with less trigger than a TV show that's fo sho 

Viewing when you don't feel like a 'boring yet spectacular film'
