Water vapor, a little unburned petroleum and some soot.

No great conspiracy.

How will New Hampshire enforce a law against something that doesn’t exist?

A gracious reply to my snarky comment. Apologies, fren.

BTW, it's probably not a good idea to use your callsign for a user id here (or anywhere outside of arrl.org), it's too easy to doxx you.

Guessing you wouldn’t know Yiddish or Hebrew from Sanskrit.

Just so you know, that’s Hebrew. Yiddish uses the German alphabet and German type fonts. Yiddish is also rare outside of a few population centers like Pearl River, NY.

Well, pick up an ax handle or a pick handle and start giving free “hickory shampoos” to the miscreants.

Where, oh where are the men of Ireland?

Funny, they bought BACK my 80,000 mile ‘14 Passat TDI manual for enough money for me to get a ‘15 TDI SEL automatic with a compliant ECU for free and $4k change back. I have > 150k miles on it now and it still gets over 50 mpg highway. It’s just as peppy (as a diesel gets) as it was with 33k when I got it.

The SEL trim package also has a Fender-branded kick-ass stereo.

Just keep your mash under 79 degrees centigrade in the still pot so you don’t get any 1-propanol in the output. This is why the old-time bootleggers kept the “first cut” or early distillate for themselves or their favored customers. As the mash temperature rose over 80 C, the unwanted products started coming over with the ethyl alcohol.

I keep a bottle of 91% isopropyl alcohol on my bench and use it to clean flux off soldered joints on circuit boards. I also use it to clean the lady’s pierced ear earrings. It does a great job on both.

The article mentions propyl alcohol, AKA 1-propanol and n-propyl alcohol.

It is very different to isopropyl alcohol, AKA 2-propanol.

They are structural isomers but have very different physical characteristics and metabolic products.

1-propanol is classified as a fusel alcohol and is an unwanted byproduct of grain fermentation and distillation. It is responsible for the “popskull” effect of cheap liquor.

My head hurts from remembering organic chemistry from forty-five years ago…

Wreck them and see which get repaired.
This will give an indication of which politicians to replace to get the law changed.

Remember, however, in the US, you have no expectation of privacy in a public place. This needs to be changed to exclude remote monitoring by government agencies.

No, because we live in a state of lawlessness, especially on the part of government agencies.

I am so sick of the bullshit surrounding a reoccurring astronomical phenomenon the only physical manifestation of which is a few minutes of dimming of sunlight.

I have never seen states “with an excess of caution” (remember that phrase, we saw it at the beginning of the “pandemic” fraud and we are sure to see it again) declare a state of emergency for an eclipse.

The religious nutters and the prepper crazies are out in force over this as well. BTW, I am fully in favor of religion and prepping but, as is common in humans, some take them to pathological extremes.

Decades ago, an airliner took off and flew two flights in opposite directions around the world. It carried two very accurate clocks. The clocks had been synchronized prior to take off to a third clock remaining stationary on the ground. When the plane landed back where it started a couple of days later, the clocks were out of sync by the amount predicted by relativity.

This was the Hafele-Keating experiment. More here:
