gwalchmai Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 How does your BBS software (Invision?) handle all the wonderful graphics we put on here? Is it smart enough to convert multiple posts of the same pic to links to a single pic or does it actually store all the pics natively?

Paul53 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Once asked my daughter (Then a high school student) something long forgotten now, but will never forget the reply. Asked, then added "But it's one of those which came first, chicken or the egg questions" her reply floored me; ""Dad, dinosaurs laid eggs for thousands of years before chickens came along" 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tous Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Probably. But, it's hard to be certain. They didn't leave any notes laying around. Too late to ask one. I wonder if they had gender-reveal hatch parties? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Images can either be uploaded and embedded or linked to here, but the system doesn’t consolidate repetitive images. The image directories here require an enormous amount of storage, but the overhead of the image redundancy is preferable to the overhead of the processing power that would be required to manage the images to that degree. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was working at my uncle's lumberyard for the summer. It was HOT. That humid heat you get in GA in late July when the dogs melt under the front porch and the skeeters don't even bother to bite you. My uncle didn't care (he had A/C), the lumber had to get through. We peons use to eat lunch dinner at a little dive called The Blue Star Tavern at the corner of Piedmont Highway and Prior Station Road. The Blue Star had been around since the 20s at least. They had a five gallon Mason jar filled with pickled eggs at one end of the bar. Legend was it had been there since the place opened. The first one was free. So, at the end of an executive three five Bud dinner, I took a dare and ate one of those eggs. The experience is hard to describe; suffice it to say I wouldn't eat another one. The Blue Star was demolished in the 90s. Lumberyard's gone. My uncle is on the back nine with St. Andrew. My old drinking buddies are either sober or departed. BUT I'M STILL HERE. So maybe I am a little pickled. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until Uncle Sam decided to adulterate gasoline with moonshine (or was it the other way around?) much corn went to market in pint jars rather than bushel baskets. Recently the moonshine is also adulterated and put into containers and sold as hand sanitizer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
