My wife calls me "half civilized" for some strange reason. I wonder why.
RF triumphs again. Without this thread I would never have learned about the serious risks they face in space.
Farts: An Under-appreciated Threat to Astronauts
A flammable gas is unwelcome in a tiny pressurized capsule or space suit
But if you’re an astronaut, every fart is a ticking time bomb. The gases in farts are flammable, which can quickly become a problem in a tiny pressurized capsule in the middle of space where your fart gases have no where to go. In this “oldie but goodie” study from the late 1960s, scientists fed subjects a then-state-of-the-art space diet compared with a “bland formula.” They discovered that the space diet actually produced more gas than the control diet, and noted that “volumes would be larger at reduced spacecraft and suit pressures.” This explains why astronaut food doesn’t include freeze-dried beans…

I've been busy.
A big antique engine auction is on.
I've been investigating & bidding.
Oh, I don't know shirt from Shinola.
Blind & desperate optimism?
An expert weighs in on the subject....The other day I was watching two astronauts getting back from the space station. And some of their tasks at the space station had been space walks.
So I was thinking.
What happens if they fart in spacethey can be on a space walk for 6 hours at the time.
What if one of them farted after 30 minutes
Did anything come of the french brass?
An oldie....
The funkiest most awful smell
is sharing a small diving bell
with old Jacques Cousteau
who minutes ago
"announced" that he had Taco Bell.
I've not pursued it.
I'm only buying things which serve a particular purpose,
or offer profit potential.
That leaves one disappointed french brass lady
To which my wife responded with laughter and "I'll have to remember that" when I told her the entire sequence of comments.
This illustrates the entire sequence of married life when it works: Ignore the fault. See the fault but wish it did not exist. Get annoyed by the fault. Demand the person fix the fault. (the last two continue for quite some time). Get resigned to the fault. And finally laugh about it.
Methinks i am up to the resigned (don't give a _______ ) about the fault although I do often laugh and have recently nagged him into fixing one of his faults
Nagging is forever. We both indulge but sometimes with resignation and sometimes with laughter. And sometimes both.
Send me $50,000, & I could act as your agent.
Shipping is extra.
Sailed far over me head.
French humor is too sophisticated for me....even Jerry Lewis movies.
Do I still get the $50K?
Slave money!
(I'm not turning it down.)
I did that, & no money appeared.
When son reconciles the bank accounts,
I'll see if any money appeared there.
