They just changed it to say "Tater" instead of
"Tator Tots." How freakin' hard was it to spell
"Tater" correctly?! I'm pretty sure the "tator"
is a part of one of those make-an-electric-motor-

Anyway, I like Tater Tots, but that casserole
makes me feel like the French have been unjustly
slurred for andouillette.

Thanks. I worried it had been lost to posterity. I can't stop reading
the recipe for layered ice cream cake, which includes the advice "eat
as desired."

err, Stator Tots. How to make a generator hub out
of Yukon Gold potatoes, I think.

What if not desired? You have to respect a cuisine
that can render even ice cream cake unappetizing.
Even cultures with trashy cooking generally manage
to make decent dessert.
Possibly the only things on that page that sound
like food are the baked things: like cookies, brownies
and banana bread, perhaps because they use real
ingredients rather than premade stuff.

The first time I looked at that page, I didn't
realize that all their kids had names beginning
with "J" ("Jinger"?) And it took them 17 to get
to Jennifer.

Shouldn't it be: Forth Yoda programs in?

My thesis advisor had a bumper sticker (in his
office! He had too much sense to put it on his
car) that read:

He used to program stuff in Forth in part because
you could get space-qualified microprocessors that
had Forth onboard, since it only takes about 600 bytes
to code a Forth interpreter.

I briefly used an object oriented Forth for the
original Macintosh (called "Neon"). That was weird.

Just a guess; really? I thought that even here in Holland, water from
the hinterland was established as the main threat to flooding, more so
than the sea.

Add a layer of vodka and they'd really have something!

I'll put my evil-brain cards on the table: I have been to several places
in the world that are already under water.

Amsterdam and Richmond, BC, are doing okay.

To put it another way, I think we have a way better chance of making
Bangladesh rich than we do of changing the weather 100 years from now.
And I'm virtually certain the fiscal and social returns will be better.

There's a lot of coastline in the world. And just
because we can defend Amsterdam now doesn't mean
it will be equally practical later. By the time
this problem gets more pressing, the first world
countries will be so busy keeping the Connecticut
River out of Bill's ground floor and keeping the
Atlantic out of Myrtle Beach that alleviating the
Bangladeshis' problem by lifting them out of poverty
will take a back seat.

To get to the root problem with this theory, you're just making stuff
up.

Actually, I think changing weather patterns (like
more strong flooding in various places) will be a
big problem well before actual sea level rise is,
but this is just a guess on my part. In any case,
trying to continue with emissions-as-usual and
figuring we can grow economies to pay our way out
of it is hoping to cure the disease by palliating
the symptoms.

You can tax Canada. That boring column I referenced upthread is pointing
to a government report that says, with a lot of caveats and doomsaying,
that a rise in temperature would make Canada a nicer place to live.

There's a lot more Canada (and Russia) than there is coastline.

Yeah, there will be more storms to mess with the crops. On the other
hand, the amount of arable land will massively increase.

As for growing economies, please contemplate the economy of 1908 and its
capabilities. For that matter, contemplate the air quality in US and UK
industrial centres at that time versus now. It gives some hope that
economic growth will be sustainable, cleaner, and more probable than
environmental measures which, last time I checked, many doomsayers swear
up and down will be insufficient to solve the problem!

Ah, yes. I remember looking up the Duggar family's favorite recipes.

I see Mom and Pop are "licensed real estate agents".

Wonder if JimBob and I have anything else in common

Don't worry, unlike BillC you at least have a boat. Perhaps you
can outfit it like one of those pedalling boat contraptions and
pedal and row at the same time.

"The Good Roads Movement was founded in May 1880,.."

See, the power to build roads was always granted in the Constitution.
They just didn't notice for a 90 years.
