No, the farmers design bridges and dams.
The engineers work in hospitals.
The doctors we shoot for being nerds.
Perfect society.
Edit: we also kill all the sparrows for some reason.
I forget, is that before or after we contact the Trisolarians?
Do they pay Anthony Burgess for the rights to their band name?
We could call it "The Large Jump Ahead" or something.
Fruity Oaty Bars come to mind, but there is no way Blue Sun didn't also have Fast food restaurants.
How can you forget McBari's! They only have fresh spoo, but the flarn is out of this world.
Is this just a way to get his mail delivered to his cell, since An Post won't come to his house any more?
Growing up, we had a game called "fight the tide" where we would build sand castles in the intertidal zone with a stick in the peak of the castle. Last stick standing wins a chocolate bar.
Ebb is the state of the tide going out, Flow is coming in.
Intertidal is an interesting thought, but isn't it already taken by the area that is covered by high tide and exposed at low.
I was wondering about the point where it is halfway between high and low, whether it is ebbing or flowing. Slack is more the high or low point where it switches from ebbing to flowing.
Isn't that more like Slack-tide when a high or low tide turns and becomes still (Stau like traffic?)
Never liked the way half-tide sounded, I think I'm liking Mean-Tide, or Median-Tide if I'm feeling fancy.
I think you're right about slack and stand, and ebb and flood would work but it's usually just a glimpse when I drive over a bridge that makes me think about it, so I don't know which way it's going.
I grew up on the coast, so I never really thought about tides just that that was the way it was. Then I married someone from a landlocked country and every time we drive over the bridge over the cove near our house I comment when the tide is high or low since they are used to lakes, and I'm never quite sure what to say when it's in the middle.
Half-tide doesn't sound right to me, slack-tide is something else entirely, my google-fu has failed me.
I've killed a couple up here in CT, but now that I know they eat grapevines, which make a run at choking everything in my garden out , I'm having second thoughts.
It's a bit "old lady who swallowed a fly" but if they develop a taste for bittersweet...
It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while.
Just some nip, a new box and a sunbeam.
Recipe: https://www.themediterraneandish.com/farinata-recipe . It cooks a bit like a Dutch baby, but you have to soak the flour longer and it doesn't puff up.
Left is with onions and herb de province, right is artichokes and dill, both were tasty.
Please excuse it's dirty, dull, and scratched state.
It doesn't look like much, but the unique opening motion where you push and pull the right scale will stump your friends.
Not pocket EDC for me, it's really heavy, and the jimping is too sharp. Also, I hated the pocket clip, it rides too high for my taste, cut up my jeans, and the opening got caught on everything I walked near.
It makes a great car knife though. Easy to open with gloves on, big enough to be easy to find in the cup holder, and great to fidget with.
(optional)Toss tofu cubes in corn starch and spices, fry, set aside.
In a large pan, Stir fry vegetables (carrots, onions, bell pepper, bamboo shoots, zucchini, chili to taste,) and some green (or red or something else, I'm not the boss of you) curry paste until they get a little wok hay.
Add some water and soy sauce to deglaze, then add one can of coconut milk, one can of pumpkin puree, one glob of creamy peanut butter and some more curry paste, simmer until vegetables are almost done.
Add tofu cubes (pro-tip put the block of tofu on a cutting board in the sink, put another cutting board on top, then put a couple of cans on top of that. Let drain for at least 15 minutes.) and simmer to warm through.
Serve over rice.
En guete!

2nd generation leftovers.
Nasi Goreng a la Bule - put fried rice in bowl, add a splash of water, crack eggs on top of rice, cover, microwave using the reheat 5 setting in my microwave plus one minute on 100% for a beautifully runny yolk. Top with fish sauce and hot sauce of choice, shown with Pick-a-Peppa because "someone" used the last of the sambal in the fried rice.
