wishiwereintheup Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but yes the original Pyrex pieces were made of borosilicate glass while the newer pieces are made of tempered soda lime glass. One can clearly see the difference in the photos of the custard cups above. Borosilicate is clear while soda-lime is green. Pieces currently made under the pyrex label in the USA are made of soda lime glass while pyrex brand pieces made in Europe are still made from borosilicate glass. As is unfortunately the case with so many other products, price (cheap cheap cheap) rules in the USA. BUT the Catamount glass company makes a small amount of household items, including measuring cups, in borosilicate glass. Catamount Glass
Elmer J Fudd " A few were quite rude about how easy it is to not bother with stamps and letters.....this is why I choose to buy stamps!!! " I don't think there's even a remote connection, this doesn't relate to the "pay by internet" discussion at all. Not close. According to the Houzz writeup, no personal information was obtained. And if people use noms de guerre and a secondary email address for sites like this, as they should, there will never be any inconvenience nor personal information to obtain even in the worst situations. The security measures used by banks and others that have financial info are quite different than those like Houzz. Are they impenetrable? No, of course not. There may be a remote risk of inconvenience but no risk of loss. Sorry Arcy, your comment is no more sensible than if you had said you use stamps to prevent cold weather.
watchmelol: There are simply too many holes in her story. She doesn't remember meeting Kavanaugh, she doesn't remember details of where it happened yet she claims she feared for her life. "I thought he might inadvertently kill me". What an interesting choice of words. Please find me a confirmed victim of assault of any type who believed at the time of the assault they might be killed inadvertently. If this actually happened the way she tells it basically a drunken teenager pinned another drunken teenager at a kegger. She kept her clothes on and despite his friends or friends (if you believe the therapist's notes) NOTHING happened. OMG Her husband stated she expressed concern during therapy, back in 2012 that he might someday be on the Supreme Court. Yeah everyone was thinking that during those years. The Obama years. She claims she never intended to go public but lawyered up months ago. Palo Alto. Professor. Research Psychologist. Liberal enclave.

Chi: It's so interesting to me how people are split along political lines when it comes to something like sexual assault. I know many of the KT member's political affiliations and I'm seeing a stark trend with posters and people "liking" their comments. Generally speaking, those who support Kavanaugh are, unsurprisingly, Republicans and those who support the accuser are Democrats. I wonder if Hillary had been elected and her nominee had sexual assault allegations, if the pro-Kavanaugh supporters would still be supportive of that nominee in regards to alleged assault? I'm guessing not. This is a fundamental problem with our government where morality is influenced by political affiliation. It's beyond sad, and I predict it will be the downfall of the US. It's already happening.
Do you use the US Savings Bond Calculator maifleur01on Sunday I know not many buy savings bonds any more but we still have a few. The old Savings Bond Wizard no longer updates and there is a Savings Bond Calculator in it's place. Wondering if anyone uses it to save your calculations or have you just given up. Earlier this year it was not compatible with the Edge that comes with my computer. Now Google Chrome. Internet Explorer they warn that it may not save correctly. So I need to either manually update and then enter the amounts into a spreadsheet or use another type. If anyone has used this what browser have you been successful with?
petalique Thanks, annelisse32. Your post reminded me on using lighter fuel (used in old style lighters; not butane) to spot clean things like chewing gum residue from fabric or certain surfaces. Fortunately there are better things these days. Great illustration with the lawn mower refueling spill evaporating quickly. Been there. I would like to ask people to please not take fouled or disgusting items that you wouldn't consider washing in your own machine, to a laundromat or commercial facility used by the public. If you must, toss the item(s), or invite the services of a dry cleaner or laundry specialist. People who depend on public commercial coin-op laundromats do not want or expect your objectionable items griming up the unit they must use. Often these machines are used by those who don't have the luxury of their own machines at home. It is disrespectful to other users of the laundromat to do this. Growing up my folks had to drive a good distance to wash our non-dark, non work clothes at a commercial coin-op. Expensive, time-eating and very inconvenient. While we did have a washing machine, our well water was loaded with iron rich minerals. A new white T-shirt would look as t...
arcy_gw I continue to be SHOCKED at the on going hate that is stirred up, spewed, rallied behind over one election. In the history of elections a LARGE number of voters lose every time. This is the first round I recall where the "disappointment" has lasted THIS LONG, has taken on a life of its own had inspired daily if not hourly attacks on a sitting president. Civil discourse calls for an expression of ideas and ideals without feeling personally attacked or judged. In two years those that dislike the outcome of the most recent election, can try anew to elect a different leader. Until then can't we all just find a way to get along? The OFFICE needs to be respected and America really needs to show a better side to the rest of the world. They are watching. We have become a laughing stock and we have done it to ourselves. Truth is it isn't about whose in charge it is about the moral fabric of our country. Many of us are frightened by the changes that have happened in a fairly short time. Relativism has taken over where for hundreds/thousands of year Judeo-Christian principals guided us. We are not better for it. 11 Likes Save Yesterday at 4:27AM 6/30/18
6/24/18 2:15 PM KT petalique Edit|Delete petalique Science is your friend. Common sense (informed, common sense) is your friend. PANIC & FEAR (uninformed) are not helpful. Don't go soaking the clothing until you allow it to "line dry" (or branch or patio dry). Think about it. It is the VOLATILES (compounds) that cause harm and that are flammable. It WOULD be silly to wrap them up and toss them in the trash. Everyone take a deep breath and not panic. (Pencil in a basic science class for the next semester.) And going to a commercial laundry is irresponsible. For crying out loud (said with a smile and affection), it is a simple problem to solve. HOME WORK EXPERIMENT: pour a bit of also line into a clean, dry, empty tuna can. A fourth (.25 or 1/4) cup will do. Leave the can (well away from children, pets etc) where it will not be disturbed in a dry area of your yard or deck (note: if you have smokers, foolish people, inebriated people about, don't do this.) Within a day or two the fluid will evaporate. Remember, gasoline these days is 10% ethanol which readily evaporates, attaches water and can partially break down into water. I thin a day or two there will be nothing but a dry emp...
watchmelol So just where would you who are calling these temporary shelters cages to play on emotions place these children? There are large rooms and they are divided by chain link because chain link can go up more quickly than building solid walls and ceilings. There is simply no place to place these poor kids, many who have been used as pawns by people trying to get into this country ILLEGALLY. 6 Likes Save last Tuesday at 11:05AM Thanked by JeCrigler
robo (z6a) Keep in mind that most of the families and minors are coming from Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala with the majority from the last two. Given the *ahem* rich history of CIA intervention in these countries, along with the utter failure of the war against drugs and the rise of Mexican cartels and hyper violent organized gangs, the US also has to admit it has had a hand in creating the present day crises in these countries, and, I would argue, bears some responsibility to help the vulnerable families and children fleeing cartel violence. http://www.unhcr.org/news/latest/2017/5/592d432c4/urgent-help-needed-central-american-children-run.html "But as we look back on the last two decades, we can identify clear causes of the new conflicts. The collapse of military dictatorships and guerrilla armies left stockpiles of weapons and soldiers searching for a new payroll. Emerging democracies are plagued by weakness and corruption. A key element is the failure to build working justice systems. International policy focused on markets and elections but missed this third crucial element in making functional democracies: the rule of law. The omission has cost many lives." http://...
Annie Deighnaugh arcy, the virus doesn't care what your religion is so I'm not sure where anti-christian anything comes in here. What matters is how the virus spreads which is from person to person. So the more you are in contact with people who have been in contact with other people the greater the risk. If you are in contact with people who are working yet, then they are far more exposed than people who are not working and that puts you at greater risk. If their job is a public-facing one, then that puts them at greater risk and consequently you at greater risk if you are in contact with them. If they are associated with any job where they might have frequent and regular exposure to the virus such as in the medical field, first responders, etc. then the risk is even greater. I view children as among the biggest risks as, while they don't seem to get sick with the virus easily, we don't know to what extent they can be carriers...and children are notorious germ factories under normal circumstances. So intergenerational exposures are very risky, IMO, esp since the older generations are so much more vulnerable to the disease. How you are in contact with those other people also ma...
