What is one thing you learned today? (Deciicated to Kato)

[MrX]

Agreed.

Look at that, I missed an entire page on tits. I gotta pay more attention around here.

 

[MrX]

You gotta pay attention to this thread. This is where people learn things.

I learned that when buying a Bengal kitten, one should make sure it is 4 generations removed from the original breeding.

 

[MrX]

What's the "original breeding?"

Is that like Adam-kitty and Eve-kitty?

 

[MrX]

I learned that the internet has conditioned me to believe that any image imaginable is available upon request.

I was very disappointed to not find a depiction of the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve portrayed as kittens.

What the fuck, internet? You're useless!

I should have said original cross- breeding... More specifically (from Wiki)

After three generations from the original crossing, the breed usually acquires a gentle domestic cat temperament;[1] however, for the typical pet owner, a Bengal cat kept as a pet should be at least four generations (F4) removed from the leopard cat. The so-called "foundation cats" from the first three filial generations of breeding (F1–F3) are usually reserved for breeding purposes or the specialty pet home environment

[MrX]

That's not bad!

Now I want a Leopard Cat.

They added plastic bits to Tonka trucks. The plow thingie is plastic. Lame.

The meaning of the word effete. I don't think I have ever heard this word in a sentence which is a pretty rare occurrence. Thanks Matty. I'm going to throw this into my regular vocabulary. It's looks a lot like "f it" which is cool.

I learned that when wine-tasting connoisseur type folk talk about different tastes and aromas within a wine - like I hear people talking about oak or apricot or black pepper or WHATEVER - they are being metaphorical. They are not identifying actual stuff that goes into the production/storage. They are just trying to find some apt comparison that allows them to verbalize subtle things they notice..

Did not know that.

Of course when I drank wine the primary consideration was the size of the bottle. i.e. - extra large or extra extra large. Identifying a faint soupcon of asparagus was not a priority.

 

[Cami]

Cami only describes wine in four manners - like or don't like, sweet or too bitter. that's about it. I don't care about identifying the subtle taste or hints of things, it's just quite as simple as I either like it, or I don't.

 

[Mudcat]

One should not put air in the tires of one's car based on the number you find on the tire itself. That is a max pressure and is probably too much. The number you go with - in the case of my car anyway - is on a sticker in the doorframe of the driver's door.

Like you open that door and there is a sticker in there with some data including optimum tire pressure.

I was using the number on the tires and inflating to 40 PSI, but the recommended number is 30.

Quite a difference.



I guess the other thing I learned is that my tires are not leaky at all because it must be many months ago that I last over-inflated them - but they were still right at that pressure when dudeguy checked today.
