The dregs of birther remainders.

If you zoom in on that area in the archived image, you can just barely see the seal in the same spot as the Guthrie photo. The right and lower left edges are the easiest to see, you can actually pick out the roped border.

Raised. Seals. Do. Not. Photocopy. :horse: I became a licensed Professional Engineer in 2011. The final requirement to become licensed was to buy my embosser and ink stamp and send samples to the state board.

State of New York vs Trump, et al - the civil fraud case against the Trump Organization

Hankey the Christmas Pooh inspired one of my favorite mnemonics for Calculus. If you sub x=hi and y=ho into the equation for d(x/y), the solution is (ho d(hi) - hi d(ho))/(ho ho) Doesn't that come into the category of memory aids that are more difficult to remember than what they represent?

Jim Wright's blog is Stonekettle Kitchen (it's possible I got the name wrong, but something along those lines, anyway). Some years ago, he laid out a proposal to hold gun owners/buyers responsible for the misuse of their weapons, even in an "accidental" shooting. The prosecution of the Cru...

Clueless Youth Struggle With Old Technology & Stuff We Grew Up With

The TI-30 SLR was the one I used growing up, a solar powered version of the TI-30 (we also had one of those). I got the TI-81 for AP Physics in 1994, a year after it was released, and a TI-83 for college the same year it was released. I used to have all sorts of functions for electrical engineering ...

When it comes to slide rules, I'm a clueless youth. When I was in middle school, all the cool geeks had calculators on their wrists .

I have my father's and grandfather's slide rules on display at my desk at work. Last weekend, I was sorting through some boxes that I had in storage at my parents* after my father passed away.

There's also a double drawbridge out in St Joseph, MI (not far from Chicago) that needs a part, preventing ships from navigating the river (vehicular traffic can still cross).

Walberg overlooks the fact that Putin has nuclear weapons with which to respond.
That just means you have to defeat him quigly.
