My oil costs almost that much (my Mustang uses 9 quarts at $8/quart). I do my own oil changes because everybody's head explodes when I tell them a) how much oil it needs and b) that there are two drain plugs in the oil pan. I also don't trust anyone else to do it right.

Scientists discover mysterious repeating radio signal from deep space | Euronews[^]
I go along with this theory:
Robert McNees: It 'could be' a signal sent back in time by humans to warn us that we write too many 'could be aliens' stories, and everyone in the future is kind of embarrassed for us Yeah. That sounds about right.

Was just reading that story then came here.
I think it's a universal message sent out by a superior race on a distant planet telling others not to come to earth because there's no intelligent life there!

It's actually location data from alien smart phones. They appear to have had the same data privacy problems that we do now.

Yea, that was me... Sorry about that, my bad. I was trying to hookup a Raspberry Pi B+ to an old fashioned hot plate to cook up the perfect plate of bacon. I followed JSOP's advice on how to setup Linux to get the perfect settings. The only problem was that the bacon was cooking too slow, so I ramped up the power and the coil from the hotplate produced photons that entangled with those half way across the universe. I tried to stop it, but it started producing short burst radio waves and apparently bounced back. I could tell, because they smelled of bacon.
Update:
Apparently, I did more than originally thought. The device I built also caused the northern electromagnetic field to shift at a faster rate.
Something very strange is happening to Earth's magnetic North Pole and no one knows why
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.

Its undoubtedly an alien's social media post sharing the details of a recent snack.

Its repeating, it must be alien Christmas day TV.

If a plant gets hungry, does it need a light snack?

Such a fertile imagination! No need to rain it in, today, sunny. How long did you plow through the leafs of the puns manual before that selection took root?

You bet. If the leaves start drooping, add a bit of H202 (hydrogen peroxide) to the water will do nicely.

I was at the Sistene Chapel when I saw a plant making its own food, so I took a picture, but lost it somewhere inside. I guess Photos in the sis.....

I work in a dungeon so have no outside windows. However, I have small desk lamps that provide more than enough light to work by. So why on earth do we have to have huge swathes of fluorescent lighting on the ceiling that some unidentified person insists on switching on each morning.
I had to come into the office one weekend and left the lights off and found it a much better working environment with just a single desk lamp.
Opinions?

I'm jealous, wish I had no windows. I work in one of those glass tower things, the whole wall is one giant window. I don't even need a lamp, just monitor glow.
Curious, did you just read my post?

Yes, I did. That "goomba" remark is what inspired this question since we have our own goomba here, not yet tracked down and quietly killed - because there might be more than one and killing one goomba may not be enough of a deterrent to the others.

Coding and Romantic Lighting - seems like a good idea, to me.
For millennials, however, I think the disc-lighting is preferred. Or do they work by the light of a cell phone?
