OH one of the most common things here is that and also people in their 60s 70s forgetting which pedal is the brake and crashing through houses, or buildings

Well, we have a long lifetime of living and memories clogging up our brains, I guess.

I don't know about other parts of the world but it seems to be almost weekly thing here and reported on the evening news when it happens. I'm thinking after a certain age maybe testing and taking people's license off them if they can't function well is a good idea.

No way. Was the driver charged?
Over here cops would intervene if they were around

I have no idea. It's a popular gif. Don't know where it came from. There is an endless supply of bad driver footage on the internet.

Fail Army is a good source.

There is also a dashcam website for this kind of thing too

My son has started making his own plastisol baits for fishing. He made some today by mixing different colors and they turned out kind of a greenish color. He calls his baits Phlegm Flam. Or maybe that should be Phlegm Phlam.

I am normally really fussy with food because you know being clean is a good thing and all. Must have been something I did earlier but today when I opened the butter to get some for cooking it was moldy.

I think this time I was a little careless the last time I used it because I spread some on bread last week and used the same knife for two slices of bread. Can that do it?

I always use the same knife on three slices of bread when I make toast, and it's never been an issue. I didn't realize some people had a problem with using the same knife for multiple pieces of bread.

No, I was wondering if something might have come off the knife and made the butter moldy. It's never happened before to me, so I can't explain it.

 

[JD]

Oh, now I see. I'm not sure if mold can be transferred like that, but it wouldn't surprise me if it could.

The TV station I put on in the background while I work that plays several hours of a procedural in a row every day added Bull and holy crap, it might as well be science fiction with how out there it is.

Kind of agree

Usually, the problem is the transfer of crumbs from the bread into the butter and it's the bread that causes the mould. That's why, traditionally, you use a butter knife to move butter from the pat to your plate and then spread the butter onto your bread with a different knife. That way, only the butter knife touches the butter pat and there's no possibilty of cross contamination.
Same with jam or marmalade. You use a spoon to transfer the preserve and a knife to spread it.

I'll do that next time.
I'm normally not so careless.

Watching Ghost And The Darkness

I think I turned prudish......

I got a present for my birthday in the form of a book by Adam Koons, a photographer I have never even heard of. It's called "All natural beauties" anyway I open the present, notice the cheeky front and back cover with the book title splashed over a model who is posing nude so the title obscures everything. Anyway I open the book and start looking and then suddenly realize that hey this isn't what I want and while yes the pictures are pretty they really don't do anything for me or excite me in any way.

I organized them to return the book and instead give me the money.

Did you really turn prudish or were the photos just not to your taste?

Honestly they turned me off...
I guess I'm not the target audience for this book. Link below

Honestly the posing of the models, the photos it didn't feel what I would call tasteful.

Just from the cover, I say, "Meh."
