An interesting thing I didn't know until today

[ursus arctos]

I presume that you picked up a copy of Third Home Life in Napa

[San Bernardhinault]

The reality might be even worse than that.

$5 on 'shipping container conversion in Taos'.

[Hot Pepsi]

Nor have I, but we favour heathen climes

I have a few. I never gave it any thought. They were cheapo doors acquired at Home Depot or somesuch.

[WOM]

My interior doors are all a bit too short, having been cut high to accommodate shag carpeting in the '70s. After pricing a half dozen new ones with handles and hinges and such, i realized that the short ones don't really bother me all that much.

You could easily glue a strip of felt or something on the bottom if you wanted to.

[San Bernardhinault]

I tried to hang a door once. It seems to simple. And yet somehow the dimensions were off by my or the angles just slightly awry and the door never properly fitted in the frame. One of many jobs better left to people who know what they’re doing and get paid for it.

[Gangster Octopus]

WOM?

[WOM]

Hell no. Hanging doors is absolutely maddening.

Yeah, I've thought about adding a little something to the bottom of them, but a soft material hadn't occurred to me.

[DCI Harry Batt]

Jimi Hendrix suffered from sleep apnoea, which may have contributed to his death.

How so?

[WOM]

How so?

Fell asleep at the wheel and drove off Pike's Peak while driving a bus full of school children. It was hushed up.

[Lymeswold Snork]

I am betting that San B is the second wave of six panel doors. Standard Fare Bernardhinault.

Now I can see that the top two panels are smaller, I can at least see what they mean about the cross.

All of the varieties on that page are weird.

[Simon G]

I have six-panel doors in my house (rented, so I never chose them) and I'd never considered SB's theory. Now I can't unsee it.

[Satchmo Distel]

How so?

Apnoea stops your breathing; you're supposed to wake up but Hendrix, being stoned, did not wake up. His regular sleeping partner would have watched out for his apnoea but his partner on the night he died did not know he had the condition.

The theory was put forward by his long-term girlfriend Lithofayne Pridgon:

Hendrix, she said, suffered from a sleep apnea. “I used to have to wake him up, and make him turn over on his side in his sleep, because he was choking.” This was something, she noted, that German figure skater Monika Dannemann, with whom Hendrix spent his fateful night, was likely unaware.

More a 'thing I learned today that I'm having trouble processing'

Justin Bieber covered the song Wheat Kings by The Tragically Hip.

[caja-dglh]

I mean, he is a Canuck. He probably got them paid in the top 10 of any of their songs for it, too. Which could be a very nice gesture (I don't really think he is as awful as he is made out to be)

[Amor de Cosmos]

(I don't really think he is as awful as he is made out to be)

Apparently he is. Or was, according to someone who knew him growing up.

How bad is it?

I haven't listened to it yet. I'll report back.

I've got them too, and had never heard that theory.
I'd like to think that Ozzy Osborne will have his hung upside down.

I learned today that you can spend every day for 20 years interacting with people on an online community, but if you disappear for 3 or 4 months no one will even fucking notice.
It's a good thing I don't have a virtual cat.

I thought you were here last week.
