How come the dinosaurs' tail is cut off? It's the same old story. Formatting. When I was a kid maybe 10, I sent some of my favorite photos in to be printed 5x7 and I couldn't figure out why the whole photo wasn't in the print. The clerk at the drugstore camera counter tried to explain that 35mm film was a ratio of 2:3 and there was no way to fit that into 5:7 without cropping or shrinking the photo to fit inside the 5x7 dimensions. All the intervening years in my own darkroom I had to decide how I wanted to crop my photos to print them on the standard paper sizes: 8x10, 11x14, or 16x20. Finally, in the age of digital photography, I have choices of paper sizes that match the format of my camera. My favorite is 17x25, so I can print full frame 16x24. And that's why the thesaurus' tail is cut off.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

Obvious question: Why not print the whole image inside the paper dimensions and then crop the print? I was only 10, so it took a while for the math to infiltrate my mind. Eventually, I saw that solution but it turned out to amazingly difficult to communicate my desire to the photolab techs. And then it turned out that no stores sold frames for the new cropped print sizes and I'm paying for all this with my lawn mowing earnings. Later, my wife and I had a full matting and framing setup as well as a darkroom. We still do, but the darkroom evolved into her computer lab.

And addicted to dihydrogen monoxide.
Dihydrogen monoxide is truly insidious, acting as a gateway to the stronger stuff like coffee. And when you mix the 2 components near a spark they explode, scary. Yet it looks like an innocent cup of coffee.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

I just noticed today that the Turd still hasn't posted on his new social media app that Russian Operative Nunes is managing for him. It's interesting observing that claiming he is accomplishing something (like a well oiled machine) is not as effective as actually accomplishing something. Surrounding himself with other incompetents has humorous outcomes.

BTW, ain't no such things as jillions, zillions, or even bazillions. Those are just synonyms for "lots." I remember my mom telling me the story of googol and the mathematician's son. I don't think she really understood it, because she called the googolplex as the largest number and I remember asking why you couldn't just add 1 to it. It's funny how some obscure conversations from childhood stick in your memory.Stop Tzar Vladimir the Condemned!
