Shit. Can literally see the darkness encroaching and it's only almost thirty past 4. There were sunny blue skies not an hour earlier! Winter time, mayne.

I almost did tacos, but then decided to come home instead. Stupid snow!
 

Both drivers eyeballing the other's ball first, then looking at both balls, before looking at each other.

Driver 1 - "Yours drops down a bit."

Driver 2 - "It's an old truck - still hauls plenty-uh-wood."

Driver 1 - Nods

They put their hands into their pockets, nodding and glancing at each other intermittently, while simultaneously surveying the lot as if there's something to see or watch for. They clear their throats and walk off to go on about their day.
 
There has been a pretty momentous day in parliament today re brexit. Ian Dunt, the editor at politics.co.uk has been livetweeting it. Well worth a read, the dude is viciously funny.

water=H2O

Certainly true, but the oxygen bonded to hydrogen in water is unavailable to form rust. Required is additional oxygen in order to form Fe(OH)3 which then needs the process of dehydration to yield a lovely batch of Fe2O3.nH2O(s)

Add some Al and heat if you really want to make a flash prize.
 


The Brexit Betrayal
by Pointman


...What’s so bad about the supposed Brexit which was negotiated with the EU by Theresa May?

* If the so-called deal is ratified, the UK will have no future legal way of disentangling itself from EU laws and regulations unless the EU agrees to it. This non-bilateral clause to the deal is a unique type of agreement within the EU. Essentially, the UK is still in the EU for all intents and purposes, and there’s no way out.
* It keeps all the EU import tariffs to the UK in place, which nullifies any chance of negotiating any trade deals with countries outside the EU. Why should they grant us tariff-free access to their markets while the UK is still imposing EU tariffs to their exports into the UK?
* There is a “transition” period until the phony Brexit comes into force, but during it, all EU laws and directives will remain in full force.
* There is no legally binding end date to the transition period anyway, so the UK could still be inside the EU and bound by its rules indefinitely.
* If a deal is ratified then at the end of the transition period to completion, the UK is prohibited from any involvement in the ‘the nomination, appointment or election of members of the institutions, bodies, offices and agencies of the Union, as well as the participation in the decision-making and the attendance in the meetings of the institutions’. Yes, you read that one correctly. Basically, the UK will have absolutely no control over their laws or economy; that’ll all still reside with the unelected faceless bureaucrats in Brussels.
* The judgments and laws of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) will continue to overrule the local UK courts and legislation both throughout the transition period and even after it. Since the UK will not be allowed to appoint any people to the ECJ, the UK will become a country legally dominated by a foreign organisation they have no representation in.
* The UK will continue to make contributions to the EU, again, during and after the transition period...​

Sounds like something that Lincoln would approve of
