Her daddy needs to grill her as to how she ever got involved with a meathead like that. She really should have known better than to date someone named Porter House.
Hard liquor is now sold in metric units, as are 2 liter soft drinks, and our monetary system has always been metric. Many firearm calibers such as 9mm are already metric. Dual units appear on many containers. So it is not as one-sided as one might otherwise conclude. The cost to convert would be great but Washington probably squanders that much in a week. I am adept in dual units myself - it is like learning another language - and I have no problem. But Americans have been so dumbed down by a failed education system that a major change such as metrification is just not going to be possible even if it carries no cost.
Well, I should have researched a little more then, for I hadn't known that Lorne Michaels had been a write for RAMLI, but it makes sense in that SNL was certainly a late-night imitation of RAMLI. John Belushi and Steve Martin would have fit right in with the regular cast. Kudos to the F&W quote, which also eluded me - and I did this mostly from memory.
Chili con queso is simply chili with cheese, the same way that chili con carne is simply chili with meat. Note that chili does not have to have meat in it, but chili con carne has just become known simply as chili. Ro-Tel's recipe for chili con queso is as follows: https://www.readyseteat.com/recipes-Chile-Con-Queso-8792?brand=23 And it's still a dip although many a Texan eats it like soup, using tortilla chips instead of croutons. To further confuse there issue, Texans often use either queso or chili con queso when making Frito Pie.
I ran across this topic in my Jack the Ripper days, concerning how the murders were actually committed.
The article referenced is wrong - he did NOT simply hold their heads underwater. Tests proved that could not be accomplished if the woman was unwilling. What he did was to get her in the bath, put her at ease by tenderly talking to her, playfully teasing and touching her naked body, and ending up at her feet, which he would then grasp, playfully, and suddenly pull, yanking her head underwater and also forcing water up her nose, which caused her to black out. THEN he merely held her head underwater until she drowned.
The detective in charge of the case, before doctors and other witnesses, did the same thing to a (dressed) policewoman who had volunteered for the job, although he was careful not to tell her what he was going to do. She blacked out as had the actual victims and the doctors were able to resuscitate her. The recreation was good enough for a jury.
The Sun is too small to go supernova; what is expected to happen is that it will become a Red Giant star, and it may engulf the Earth, but this will probably not happen for another 5 billion years. See https://earthsky.org/space/what-will-happen-when-our-sun-dies for a better explanation.
This is my source of the image (which I had not expected Miss C to turn into an article; good job, eh?) https://flashbak.com/picking-hops-in-kent-1900-1949-415583/

And, yes, it really is a dip. Ro-tel habanero is my favorite. I use blue corn tortilla chips.
