Modern IE VMs. Nice way to get some time-limited VMs with Microsoft Operating Systems. I've downloaded the Win10 version just to give it a spin. Someone else pointed out by using cloning the VMs you can get one download to run "indefinitely" (for values of indefinitely == 30 days at a time.)     #>


Things I won't work with. I don't have enough of a chemistry background to know exactly what he's talking about but I do find every entry hilarious.

See, I told you that you didn't want to do this. "Scraping" is yet another one of those verbs that you don't want to hear brought up in this context. If your touch isn't quite delicate enough, someone's going to have to use a larger spatula to scrape you off the ceiling. I note that the experimental section of this paper not only recommends the leather coats that earlier workers in the field have used, but gives suppliers in Berlin and Cologne. And earplugs. And face shields. And helmets. And Kevlar gloves. If scientific meetings were more like fantasy cons, people would be dressing up like this to win prizes.

Looks like the successor to TrueCrypt is VeraCrypt, and I'm glad to see someone picking up the pieces. If you'd like to stick with TrueCrypt it looks like there's an archive download at TrueCrypt Final Release Repository. I'm still using TrueCrypt since I don't think it's suddenly worthless but during my next Operating System or computer refresh I'll probably switch over to VeraCrypt since it's being actively worked on.     #>


Image Composite Editor 2.0 adds auto-completion, stereographic projection. Looks interesting, I have heard that this version shows ads on screen though (just while editing, not for the output.)     #>


Chipotle: The Definitive Oral History. I noticed in their graphic of store openings they aren't in Montana, or the Dakotas yet.     #>


The MASH site in Malibu Creek State Park. I had no idea the site was still accessible. MASH started streaming on Netflix and I started watching (since I only remember seeing reruns and such on TV), which got me wondering where it was filmed.     #>
