I had a physics professor that would go to yard sales and thrift shops with a Geiger counter to find pieces for her collection.
An entrepreneur in Stewiacke, N.S., hopes a new wharf in Hubbards will inspire Nova Scotians to use recycled plastic lumber in marine applications.
"Be able to walk on it, you know, touch it and get a good feel for the advantage that we can have by using the recycled material," Dan Chassie, president of Goodwood Plastic Products, said.
Goodwood Plastic Products grinds up recycled plastic at its factory in Stewiacke and extrudes the plastic lumber in sizes from two-by-fours up to eight-inch-by-eight-inch beams.
Chassie claims his plastic boards will last many times longer than marine-grade, pressure-treated wood.
"Instead of having something that is going to last maybe 10 years, it's going to last a couple of lifetimes," Chassie said.
Sadly, I broke my casserole dish and haven't replaced it yet. We are still using the broken pieces.I had a physics professor that would go to yard sales and thrift shops with a Geiger counter to find pieces for her collection.
Chin up. That can count as what you learned.It is sad but I've learned noting new today ! .... I must be pathetic.
Can doing laundry in space can be attributed to what I've learned today ? In that case I'll try and stay positive.Chin up. That can count as what you learned.
Once again I must honour Daria Morgendorffer and wonder whether it is a phrase so profound that it seems shallow or the other way around.Can doing laundry in space can be attributed to what I've learned today ?
All I really know is that the Montreal Botanical Garden crushes my more local variety even though Canada is a frozen hellscape.
There are a dozen more just like it.

Afghanistan not that far away
I'm from St. LouisI was there once. It was like 15 years ago. But I thought it was really nice.
Where do you live? If you've said I've forgotten.
Been a pleasure - totally owning us mere peons in Civ IVI'm from St. Louis
The botanical garden has a fun amount of overfed Koi fish and a neat n-sided building, but no outrageous hedge sculptures.
It is sad but I've learned noting new today ! ....
Road network[edit]
The Neo-Assyrian Empire built a highway system connecting all parts of the empire. These roads, called hūl šarri (or harran šarri in the Babylonian dialect, "the king's road"), might have grown out of the military roads used for campaigning. They were continuously expanded, with the largest expansion occurring between the reigns of Shalmaneser III (r. 858–824 BCE) and Tiglathpileser III r. 745–727 BCE.[9]
Like caravanserai in the Muslim world (Kyrgyzstan's Tash Rabat caravanserai depicted), Assyrian road stations were purpose-built structures providing shelter and supplies for long-distance travellers. However, unlike the caravanserai, the Assyrian stations were exclusively for official use.[10]
To support the communication system, governors of the empire maintained a series of stations in their provinces at regular intervals along the king's road.[3] In Assyrian they were called bēt mardēti ("house of a route's stage").[3] At these stations riders passed their letters to new riders with fresh mules.[11] They were either located within established settlements, such as the one in Nippur, or in remote locations, where they constituted isolated settlements on their own.[3] The distances between stations were around 35 to 40 kilometers (22 to 25 miles).[8] The stations provided short-term shelter and supplies for riders, envoys and their animals.[10]
These stations were comparable to the later caravanserais built throughout the Muslim world for commercial travelers, in the sense that they were purpose-built to provide shelter for long distance travellers.[10] However, unlike the caravanserais, the Assyrian road stations were for the exclusive use of authorized state messages and not open to private travelers.[10] No surviving road stations have been identified or excavated[10] and historians only know their descriptions from Assyrian texts.[12]

Click on Near-Surface Smoke.Today I learned there's an experimental map thingy made by NOAA for predicting where fire smoke will go. I can't figure out how to make it work though.
