That's really excellent work, but I read the title as 'Carolina Reaper Center Reaches Patient #27,000!' and got quite worried.

Every time I come across this I end up almost crying from laughter, the pacing and humour are just about perfect.

The hind legs also have the joints in proportionally the wrong places compared to the skeleton. I reckon they gave it to the intern to reconstruct, and they just hastily banged it out last thing on a Friday afternoon after a liquid lunch.

You'll have permission if you go $HOME.

I'm assuming you have a lovely, caring partner there otherwise that sounds wrong.

Cat: Wow this snow is cold! Ahhhh, this is SO COLD!!!

It does have that slightly preoccupied look that suggests it wishes it had more insulation in certain areas, but it's determined to pose for the photo anyway.

DUCK FOR COVER DUCK FOR COVER

Quack! *BOOM*

You can securely run IIS on Vista, you just have to unplug the network and power cables.

It might already be packaged for whichever OS you're running, and it comes with a utility to do the conversion. On Debian or Ubuntu it should be as simple as installing the pst-utils package and running something like readpst <path to .pst file> and it'll leave an mbox file for you. It's been a fair few years since I used it, so reading the documentation would probably be wise, but I remember it being pretty straightforward.

I don't have a Redhat machine handy right now, but it looks like the package is called libpst there. On a Mac you'd need to follow the build instructions in the git repository, but it's not python, the main library and utils are written in C. The tarball they refer to it just a tar of the source, that you can download form the releases page. I can't help you if your running windows, I don't have a machine running it, and haven't used it in many years.

I've used libpst to be this in the past. On Debian it's packaged as pst-utils. The readpst util will convert your PST to a variety of formats including MBOX.

That doesn't mean you can't work with them on a common cause, and maybe even show them the benefits of your way if thinking, but don't get caught out when they turn on you.

Living past childhood.

Yes, lots of people feel their lives are awful, but compared to material living conditions even a few hundred years years ago nearly half of all children died before reaching adulthood, and the vast majority of the rest lived harder, more grueling lives than our own, with more illness and injury than us.

That depends on whether I can separate the bills and keep the ones they don't find, or if it's an all or nothing system. There's a loose floorboard in one room, so if it's all or nothing, I'd lift that and chuck the package as far as possible under there, replace the board, then mess up multiple other places in the house.

If they can be separated, there are 100 notes, and they're individually going in every gap, crevase and hole I can find. Between the floor boards, under carpeting, in the gaps in the bottom of the couch, I have a stapler, so pop the bases loose on some chairs, then restaple them shut, tape them under floor level cupboards. I'd have to move fast, but their unlikely to find everything, so I'd be finding random $100 notes for ages afterwards, because there no way I'd remember everywhere I put them.
