The Today Show ran a piece on releasing baby sea turtles. Some had satellite trackers attached which were powered by tiny solar panels. - Meg Sep 22, 09:22 2
- I'm all for flipping turtles the right way, but don't the fall-off trackers amount to sea litter and dangerous ingestibles? -- nm - Max Sep 22, 09:26 1
  - Good question, I guess so :/ -- nm - Meg Sep 22, 09:40

        Two festivals complete, one to go.... -- nm - JD Sep 22, 09:46
- That's an interesting setup. So there's essentially two sets of stages which I'm guessing they'll use to alternate setup and performance for the side - JD Sep 22, 09:05 2
  - Yeah. I mean, I *get* it - maximize the value - but, I don't get it. - JaxSean Sep 22, 09:07 1
    - Oh. Wait. I missed that there's actually a third set of stages and set conflicts are all about festival life ;-) - JD Sep 22, 09:25

Had to get a steroid injection for tendonitis in my wrist this morning. I think the shot made my wrist hurt more than the tendonitis. - sycor Sep 22, 08:43 4
- Been there, done that. It's pretty miraculous. But, not so sure if it's the long-term fix I'm hoping for. -- nm - Qale Sep 22, 09:16 1
  - I'm hoping once the inflammation gets out it will be okay. I've had this once before but it was like 10 years ago and resolved with ice and wrapping - sycor Sep 22, 09:22
- That was the goal. Tomorrow you will be talking about how your wrist feels so much better than today. -- nm - Spawn Sep 22, 08:46 1
  - I'm sure it will. But man that shot hurt and made my whole hand throb. Stupid shot. -- nm - sycor Sep 22, 08:48
TWuG news network: Electric carmaker Tesla is recalling nearly 1.1 million vehicles in the U.S. because the windows can pinch a person's fingers - decline Sep 22, 08:41 2

Something from Ken Burns "The US and the Holocaust" struck me as perhaps unintentionally snarky. - crash davis Sep 22, 08:37
Looks like the special master case just got even crazier - znufrii Sep 22, 08:36 10

      - FWIW, I'm a big fan of your Astro team name and catch phrase. - spamlet Sep 22, 09:39
      - at first I thought all these FedSoc clowns would only serve as long on the bench as it would take to cash in with a cushy white shoe partnership but - hollywood big shot Sep 22, 09:33

- Does your county/state have a nurse hotline? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 08:48
- I probably wouldn't put hand sanitizer on it if the skin is broken. Maybe dab some hydrogen peroxide with cotton balls? -- nm - JaxSean Sep 22, 08:32 1
  - Soap and water would be called for, IMO. Maybe the kid was having peanut butter. -- nm - con_carne Sep 22, 08:46

My trip last night to McDs. Trish had asked for me to bring her fries, no salt to the hospital. - crash davis Sep 22, 08:00 11
- We stopped at an Arby's late last week and our total was nearly $70. - JaxSean Sep 22, 08:31 2
  - I actually ask the price before I pull the trigger. If it more than double my own purchase, I usually refrain. -- nm - Spawn Sep 22, 08:48 1
    - I order from the app and pick up curbside. None of these shenanigans for me, I can entirely skip that anxiety. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 08:50

    - I have no experience with the rumored signaling device, but there are eight ranks, eight files, five pieces to indicate via signal. It gets complicated -- nm* - crash davis Sep 22, 08:14
