It's a polysacshride made from fermenting shrimple sugars with a xanthomonas campestris culture, so you might see it with that name or as bacterial polysaccharide. You might also see it labeled as E415 or INS 415.  It's a thickener/stabilizer that holds on to water molecules and is mostly used in condiments to give them greater viscosity and keep them from separating.  It can also be used in baked goods to promote bubble formation in flours without gluten. I thought there wood be enough water flowing down the drain to cary it away, but I was wrong, and ended up with a pipe full of gel about as thick as petroleum jelly.

>>16623
In any case, it was an interesting opportunity to practice to clearing pipes.

Thanks! Sounds like that stuff might be more commonplace than I expected. I'll try to be on-guard about it.

The small amounts found in condiments etc. won't cause any problems.  I dumped 4 or 5 ounces of it down the sink.

There are hopes that similar proteins may be useful for storing transplant organs and for producing better ice cream.

Who caught you anon?

Last week I stayed in the French Upper Alps. I did my little ski session for the year, including a particularly enjoyable descent from a summit where I didn't encounter any other skiers on the slopes I took all the way down. There was a little sun and at one point I passed through a ravine: there was only me, the sound of the wind and the snow under my skis, and it was a berry pleasant, almost dreamlike moment.
I also went for a short hike with my dog and my gf, where I found this deer skull, which will join my collection.
It's interesting to note what I presume to be the remains of a bone tumor on the left front side, above the eye socket, which probably killed this specimen.

>>16568
Nice find.  Do you know the specific species?

Oh and Habby New Year to you to :)

I just downloaded Night Time by Killing Joke in FLAC and currently listening to it. It's been one of my favorite albums since I was in high school, so it's one I should have already had in the best quality but didn't.

>>16480
Speaking of, I actually discovered that Jaz Coleman for some reason is living in Argentina now, and he arranges events eberry 6 months I think.
Got to see him again many years after seeing live, that was cool

>>16488
As talented as he is, I don't think I'd want to see him without Geordie Walker or the other guys. I'm usually the type of person that has problems picking favorites, but Killing Joke for me was without a doubt my favorite rock band. All the members during their heyday really brought something to the table, and even their later material that doesn't appeal to me as much is still good (although I woodn't say the same for Outside the Gate).  With their interest in occult practices, it almost woodn't surprise me if that had a hand in making them as great as they were. Have you watched The Death and Resurrection Show?

That reminds me, I should probably listen to Brighter Than a Thousand Suns again too. I always associate that album with this time of year. I remember listening to it on the school bus in high school and looking out on the frozen scenery. I've heard it a bunch of times already, but it feels almost like a tradition to me.

>>16489
>Have you watched The Death and Resurrection Show?
Besides the meet and greet, one of the selling points of the event was watching that documentary. It was good because I was able to exchange a lot of ideas with some folks about certain ethos and beliefs that were a bit beyond surface value type of discussion. Berry neat.

Are you into other bands with a similar sound? The Damned? Smiths?

Looking at the PlayPlaces now they don't look that impressive, but I really liked exploring the tubes as a kid. I'm not surprised they shut them down though. They must have been a nightmare to keep clean considering how grubby and unhygienic kids can be. I think I might have seen an old employee in one cleaning it out once and yelling at some kids for horsing around, although at the time I thought it was someone's grandma.

Agreed. Where I live the street lights have been slowly phased with the bright white ones for the past couple years. Sometimes when I walk at night I'll see another incandescent bulb has been replaced. Only a few remain now. I've taken pictures to remember what the area looked like when they still had them.

These are all screenshots from War Thunder. I've been playing for 10 years and started when I was 15. Life was so different back then, but I feel like my love for the game has never waned. I don't play as often as I used to, but I still get a kick out of it and try to capture moody screenshots, or screenshots that tell a story. I played my first WWII flight simulator when was 4 years old, so games like this are berry special to me

Modern Hebrew right now, i am toying with the idea of Russian after that.

I remember reading someone here say “I'm full of piss and vinegar” (I'm full of energy and enthusiasm) and wondering what that could possibly mean.
I recently wondered if it was an English expression and found it amusing that some idioms are untranslatable and that it is impossible to understand their meaning without knowing the specific language and culture.
Since then, I've been having fun saying it by translating it literally into my language, even though it doesn't make any sense here and people wood wonder "what the hell he's talking about" or think "dude is full of piss? Gross!" xD

>>16474
Lol. Pretty sure that originates with us Hillbillies. Yeah, I think you got the definition about right. It also implies self-confidence, as when facing a conflict. Think William Wallace & his smol private band about to trounce the English in the film Braveheart.

Good one, hadn't heard that phrase in years Anon.  :D

>>16476
>Bretty sure that originates with us Hillbillies.
It does have that kind of sound to it. I can imagine the Ulster Scots/borderers having a hand in it. It reminds me of the type of things they've contributed to the English language, like calling kids "little cacas."

>>16478
Heh, true.
