Tomcats are Territorial bastards. If you are exploiting your pet for purposes of extracting income, keep it inside or face the consequences of well meaning neighbors policing what is probably a neighborhood bully in what they consider a charitable way.
I laughed out loud at a couple in the last half of the list.
I would add to this torture (possible future article alert) some bad waiting room office 'muzak' I have had to endure. At least official Muzak (TM) is often full songs run through sappy string arrangements, or better.
My Doctors wife runs a bit wholistic in her choices for office decor and music which she chooses, and there is this odd new age cross of Tin Drum Jimmy Buffet ala John Tesh minimalism that is quite maddening, which the scented candles she prefers (what about allergy patients?) only makes worse.
This is a sign that Scrabble is having its clock cleaned by competitors removing the more draconian rule sets. All it can do is join them.
Scrabulous had a better online app than scrabble did, and others doing electonic knockoffs still do it better.
Then, simpler, lower hassle (easier to carry around, share and score) variations on the concept are doing terribly well. Bananagrams is the fun part of making words with much easier means of scoring. Gone are the prescriptivist rules and bean counting; in comes the creativity and fun.
So, it is probably a good move, and necessary, that Scrabble 'allows' probably the most irritating stricture on gameplay, that of allowing proper Names, which often themselves, have become generic nouns.
Of course, the way some people spell names these days, you might wish that rule was still in place.
I vote Peppers Ghost too. You would still have to have the video triggered by the turntable (probably as easy as turntable control of mp3s) and the drums (pretty simple trigger there).
Beyond the Haunted Mansion Ball room, another famous use of Peppers ghost is when The Gorillaz play a live awards show.
The most difficult bit (other than the room on stage needed to do Peppers Ghost with a huge piece of glass) is that the footage on a turntable would have to have been shot similarly, with the samples being spoken on a turntable. And probably multiple monitors, one per holographic head.
If you wear glasses, the typical ski mask knocks your breath back through your eyeholes, fogging your glasses. This 'gas mask' design could actually be more practical for people wearing glasses, the 'feed bag/ air filter' nose portion would allow the force of ones breath to dissapate rather than being forced out through the eyeholes, and ones glasses would not get fogged.
Madelungs rule lets you know -how- the electrons are likely to combine. There is the elementary chemistry of simply stating an element has available plus or minus a certain free electrons, which is simpler and roughly works in a lot of simple situations. this just digs a bit deeper into the different orbitals, the energy states of the electrons.
It is specifically necessary for proper understanding of Organic Chemistry, where the shape of the molecule is often based on these electron energy states. Carbon can have several charge states, can offer or accept one or several electrons, and the orbit and energy state of the electrons will let you know the angle that the other ions may be likely to attach, whether a carbon based molecule is likely to have a ring structure, or be linear, etcetera.
I saw kids start to 'tattoo' themselves 'prisoner style' like this as early as fourth grade. It often grows out because although they know ink and blood is required they may not have the technique down with their improvised tools, plus they are growing quickly enough that what they have been able to do can grow away.
I do wonder if there will be a generational shift AWAY from tattooing in the same way there was a generational shift TOWARDS tatooing for those born after the mid seventies early eighties, because the kids see how ridiculous their parents look with tats.
Power for -California-? About time for California to consider some sort of resource independence rather than shipping everything in from the surrounding states.
Counting your chickens before they hatch is bad mojo.
Now, if he forgets, he just has to stand a certain way between a pair of mirrors.

That is, it could catch on.
Midi Karaoke never suit his special talents.

I would have checked out the stuff had he skipped the BS and merely said "Hey, check out this mashup tape I made" as it was I just left the site.
