What you see is not what you get. Here's a home in Juneau, Alaska, a standard looking house priced at $399,900. But, walk around to the other side.

And, WTH? I was NOT expecting this.

Apparently, the Mendenhall River right next to it overflowed, but according to the description, it's been professionally riprapped now, (is that like to stop it from overflowing?), b/c it means a range of rocky material placed along the shorelines.

Anyway, this looks like a big hole that would have to be filled, and the house is condemned, although the part that's still standing is in good condition. So, what does the buyer get for $400K?

The buyer gets a kitchen w/outdated cabinets.

A large open-concept dining area.

A rec room that has weird nooks w/big lanterns on each end that opens to a terrace.

1 bedroom is left and it's VERY open concept since the wall is missing.

And, one remaining standard 3 pc. bathroom. Nothing special about the house.

Also, the buyer is responsible for removing all the debris. I think this calls for a price reduction and I still wouldn't trust that river.

McDonald's Restaurants by Magnitude of Mountain Backdrop / Rut

by u/Gigitoe

Eating a Big Mac® while gazing at Big Mountains is an experience that millions of Americans can relate to. But little do we ask ourselves, which McDonald's restaurants have the biggest, baddest mountain backdrop?

So I set out to answer this question, using rut, a topographic metric that does particularly well at identifying cities with badass mountain backdrops. (For more info, check out this Mercury News article by John Metcalfe, or my research paper)

Roughly speaking, this is how rut works:

The higher the mountains rise above a restaurant, the more impressive they appear, and the greater the rut.

The more steeply the mountains rise above a restaurant, the more impressive they appear, and the greater the rut.

Here's a tier list that shows the rut of the ruttiest McDonald's restaurant in various cities. The cutoffs are rather arbitrary, so please don't poison me with a Grimace Shake if your city doesn't get the tier you like :)

S tier - rut > 400 m (i'm lovin' it. would visit just for mountain views)

A tier - rut between 200 to 400 m (impressive, but probably wouldn't visit just for mountain views)

B tier - rut between 100 and 200 m (mountains nearby, or distant big mountains, or very distant huge mountains)

C tier - rut between 50 and 100 m (big hills nearby, or distant mountains, or very distant big mountains)

D tier - rut between 25 and 50 m (hills nearby, or distant big hills, or very distant mountains)

E tier - rut between 10 and 25 m (small hills nearby, or hills in the distance, or very distant big hills)

F tier - rut between 0 and 10 m (flatter than a patty)

For more locations, here's a spreadsheet with the rut of every McDonald's on this map.

----------------

Note: a rut of X doesn't mean the surrounding mountains rise a height of X above the restaurant. Instead, a rut of X means that a restaurant's mountain backdrop is as impressive as a restaurant at the base of a vertical cliff of height X. The less steeply the surrounding mountains rise above the restaurant, the lower the rut.

Also note: rut only considers rise above surroundings (relative height differences and angle of elevation). it does not consider absolute elevation, nor the "aesthetics" of a mountain, nor visibility (or lack thereof) due to weather or smog.

Attributions: Gavin Rehkemper (locations), FABDEM (elevation model), Google Earth Engine (calculations), ESRI (basemap), Kai Xu (rut metric and map)

If you like rut, you'll probably like its older brother jut even more. Jut measures how impressive, spectacular, or badass a mountain is—considering both its height above surroundings and steepness. If you want to find the most impressive mountains near you or worldwide, you may find the link above to be useful.

Let us know if you have any questions or comments—I'm happy to address them!

My Death Note Playlists (prt 1 of my fav lyrics)

They're basically all "emo" btw.

I have two: the full playlist

and the "canon compliant" version -- which does NOT mean the songs support a canon-compliant interpretation, but that they were released before 2010. Canon timeline, you see, ignoring the 9/11 thing. (I'm a little more picky with this one in general.)

Okay now I'm just going to highlight my favorite lyrics that I blorbo brain all over (predominantly Light, and lots of Lawlight ranging from platonic murder to romantic lovers to romantic murder). It will be long, so here's a cut!

I'll pick out songs going down "full playlist" in order.

"Liar (It Takes One to Know One)" by Taking Back Sunday

Obvious, but "we're all choir boys at best" deserves attention. "It takes one to know one" shouted at the end -- all of Light and L knowing each other better than anyone.

"Juneau" by Funeral for a Friend

"I'm nothing more than a line in your book." Hey, I didn't say all these connections were good.

"Spin" by Taking Back Sunday

The whole thing is very Light to L.

"Looking for a Tornado" by Chiodos

Maybe I got a little lost while searching for my faith stuck to your cross You set fire to everything around [...] Do I believe in love; do I believe in heaven? (At the sound of church bells, they come running) All my clocks stuck on eleven; afraid if I hit my knees, I might get nothing

^ Lawlight /romantic intent /sexual intent

This is the sound of your savior running in need of anything to save you from nothing

^ bonus God/savior complex Light

"Always and Never" by Silverstein - "Don't have a heart attack"

"War Crimes" by Waterparks

kinda Light and Misa. "I wear a smile that's about a mile wide" lol. and "My death will be the fandom [sic]" for L.

"The Words 'Best Friend' Become Redefined" by Chiodos

The title as their fake-friendship-with-murderous-intent. Lyrics as romantic dying Lawlight. +"To hide from our twisted ways/I've been hiding in this bed"

"Fist Wrapped in Blood" by Silverstein

I love toxic couples. Cannibalism couples. Violence couples. (Some tntduo vibes in this one too, xoxo tntduo, still kinda my OTP.) "A Midwestern State Of Emergency" for similar reasons (we got the wild line "Bound and gagged but I enjoy it") + "Your saving grace, my final rites"

"One Day All Women Will Become Monsters" by Chiodos <3

That title but also "Always being the blind villain" -> Blind Lady Justice Light Yagami!!! + "Rip the haunting smirk from his face"

"Thank You for the Venom" by My Chemical Romance

Now I want to listen to Three Cheers looking for Death Note songs. (If I wasn't still finishing tntduo demolition lovers, Death Note demolition lovers would be sooo in.) Anyways: "I keep a gun on the book you gave me."

"Hard to Breathe" by Hawthorne Heights

"I spent my whole life lying/I just got caught." This one gets a big heading b/c that line is still the working title for my Light fic (yeah, it'll get posted. one day).

"There's no Penguins in Alaska" by Chiodos is a rare Misa moment on the playlist.

"Timberwolves at New Jersey" by Taking Back Sunday

"Literate and stylish/kissable and quiet/that's what girls' dreams are made of" and "This is you trying hard to make sure that you're seen/With a girl on your arm and your heart on your sleeve" = Light. Plus, the "me at my worst (committing murder)" theme of second half of the song

"Where Can I Stab Myself in the Ears" by Hawthorn Heights - "This is the ending, here's my surrender" & the complementing each other bridge theme. and lying.

"Why the Munsters Matter" by Chiodos

"I don't want to fit into your world/your heart/I hope I scare you"!!!!! It's NOT what happens in Death Note but it IS what Light and L are about IN MY HEAD.

"Ole Fishlips is Dead Now" is another rare Misa song. The "she's in love with herself" line but the subject is Light.

"Goldmine" by Paper Tigers

(link leads to song b/c the band is pretty indie)

Maybe that's something I admire Maybe you've made another enemy of me ... You goldmine Every little thing that you say It blows away my mind ... They say that pride proceeds the fall And that the sword is weaker than the pen

rare L to Light song on the playlist

"Your Sword Versus My Dagger" by Silverstein

Another Discovering the Waterfront track. "I'm cutting through, you're bleeding out/And I would tell the truth, but I can't help myself" + "I wasn't asking for the world" as another Light inverse/lying line (or kinda Misa) + "And I can see your face, and I can hear your name" in reference to Death Note rules lol.

"Is it Progression If A Cannibal Uses A Fork?" by Chiodos

"Listen up, sweetie!/We all know that you're a beautiful girl in this horrible world." - Light lol

"The solemn tolling of the funeral bells. I want to know what's going on in that pretty little head of yours where everyday's a Bone Palace Ballet."

"Divine Intervention" by Taking Back Sunday

rare soft song -- cutesy by Lawlight standards

Despondent, distracted You're vicious and romantic These are a few of my favorite things ... Something real, make it timeless An act of God and nothing less will be accepted ... We're stubborn and melodramatic A real class act

~a little skipping ahead to songs I wrote up out of order... part two will probably come next week!~

"The Brothers Karamazov" by The Used

all of it. but especially "I'm more than just my father's son" as an inverse of Light who is so little more than the son of a cop, "I see myself in everything I hate about you/I shut my mouth to stop myself from sounding like you" as him and L, and "Take me away from who I could become" as the conflict between Light and the influence of the Death Note.

"Chemicals" by Armor for Sleep

Lyrics about "you" dying ("I can picture your coffin"!!!) and the general vibe and:

And I’m on my back, on your floor. Tell me how you fooled the world again, I like how you laugh when you tell it

^ both L and Misa work. Light's evil laugh.

Play dead, cause I’ll be playing dead with you. I’ll play you when you’re dead in a year or two.

^ Light pretending to be L after he's dead.

"Three Simple Words" by Finch

"My hand's around your throat/who will stop me now?" !!! throwback to "Until the Day I Die", which I didn't highlight but also has "hands at your throat". I like the aggressive & repetitive usage in this song better. Light to L, of course.

Tune in next week for more of the same! (btw I had a lot going on so it's still not up but will edit this when I do it)

#death note #light yagami #lawlight #light death note #lawlight songs #yagami light #chem's death note arc #I said this #music #playlist #this is almost half the playlist and i'm pleased with how short i've gotten the post to be hehe #made the tough descision to take off Call it Karma #just didn't have strong enough vibes at the end of the day.

Saskatoon and Tignish Temperature Charts stitched by Erin Sutton. 2020 SAL designed by PeppermintPurple.

“I have a finish!

I did the 2020 SAL pattern every week this year, as a daily average temperature stitch for my city. I used a few of the PP SAL 2021 fillers as well, I hope it’s ok to post as-is.

The coldest day of the year here was in February when it was -50° C. The hottest day was in July and it was +42° C. I’m in Saskatoon, on the Canadian prairies.

We’re usually the coldest place on earth a few times every winter. I chose to live here! 🤣 We love it!

I’m Canadian and my husband is American. We almost moved to Juneau in 2010 but settled here in Saskatoon instead. My husband is from Texas and he’s acclimated pretty well. We’ve lived together in Canada for 22 years, but we lived in Houston for 2 years when he worked there.

This was a really fun project!

I just used metallic silver for anything colder than -35 and metallic gold for anything over +35. I left the legend like it was.

I also did one for my mom and dad, who moved from Southern Ontario to Prince Edward Island last Christmas. This one is on 18 count fabric and I framed it up and mailed it last week.

I messed up the first long box (shorted the height by one stitch) so I had to fill it in with stars. I refused to rip out the entire outline for that 🤣”

Thanks to Indiana Landmarks for this story from Mental Floss:

“A Look Back at When Thanksgiving Was Basically Halloween” By Christopher Klein

Thanksgiving ragamuffins; Bain News Service c. 1910 (Library of Congress)

“Masked children roaming door-to-door, begging for treats. Well-lubricated adults dressing up for costume parties. Sounds like a normal Halloween—except it wasn’t. Less than a century ago, this was Thanksgiving. It seems as bizarre as decking the halls on the Fourth of July, but it’s true: For decades before World War II, Turkey Day was the day for putting on false faces.

...New York City brought the trend to the next level. Officials staged a regal annual parade to commemorate both Thanksgiving and the British evacuation of New York...Kids raided their parents’ wardrobes to join in the fun: Boys paraded in high heels and old evening gowns, as girls marched in over-size Prince Albert coats...So many kids were sporting tattered clothes and darkened faces on Thanksgiving that by the 1900s, it was known as Ragamuffin Day.”

This anecdote is surely supposed to inspire a reaction: “ When Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving a holiday in 1863, towns from Juneau, Alaska, to Tampa, Florida, began marking the date with masquerade balls. The Tombstone Prospector took note of 1890 costume prize-winner Miss Will Sneed, dressed as a gold mine ‘in a gown that would inspire even the most dejected prospector to try again.’”

One wonders just how much double entendre was written into that sentence.

holly

Thick, milky manchineel sap paints the chateau walls as Victoria Bitter goes to work on the snapdragon. It drools out of its broken stems as it throws its massive body at her; when VB feels her knuckles push not just against but through a peduncle, she’ll pull them back covered in the stuff.

It burns like hell. In the wild, this would be the end of VB’s day. Her life might follow if she touched her nose, eyes or mouth with her hands still contaminated.

Here, she feels it bright and brief, like sparks on her skin, before Janelle’s ward sweet-talks her body into a fast recovery.

All of the snapdragon’s eyes are trained now on VB. All its menace has been redirected into their duel. It circles, snaps its jaw, lunges, and occasionally barrels through other sections of the battlefield — but it is, like all faeries, catastrophically vain and myopic. It cannot rest until it has repaid the indignity of being struck by a human hand.

(killyoueatyoutearyou, its blossoms say to each other. growinsideyou. unfurlourpetals. inthegardenofyourskull.)

It doesn’t even know what Australia is, or it would be mad about that, too.

Dionaea, meanwhile, opens her body like an umbrella as the Leslies multiply, casting a wide shadow over the arena. Her human silhouette is almost entirely lost in the action — she is closer to the thicket of briar that surrounds Sleeping Beauty’s tower than anything. Appraising the illusion, some of her eyes crinkle in condescension. And the next thing she says makes it clear that she may have gained more than passage into Juneau’s chateau as she traveled between worlds.

“Little fool-princeeeess.”

Just as you knew Janelle’s story entire in the moments she spent away, Dionaea’s learned a few things about you. Not many. Nothing Janelle’s mind did not carry. Little snatches of information, whisps of thought.

And nothing like the truth. The truth is transformed beyond recovery when it enters a mind like this.

“Spreadest thou thy infinite failure among these shadows?”

Her vines sweep out at the various Leslies, passing through them in search of the real ones. But the ploy is working — as her pet chases VB, Dionaea’s attention is split dozens of ways by a single woman.

“We should hardly be able to stand the sight of ourself, had we squandered as much as thou. Let us put out thine eyes as a kindness. Replace them with —”

Little white flowers and tiny red berries bloom all over the spindly distorted form. Holly.

(Known in Gaelic as celyn.

Holly-garden is laes celyn.

And many centuries ago in Scotland, that phrase ran together into a single word: Leslie.

Mortals have always been so envious of their masters, the queen thinks. Rightly so.)

“Something beauuuutiful.”

Her leaves fan into something like a smile.

And that’s exactly when Nevros shouts.

Dionaea pulls herself back in. Not all the way, still a looser approximation of human shape than before, but most of it. The Leslie clones are so loud and abundant she has to search for a moment to identify the source of the taunting.

They’re entertaining me instead!

She’s still searching when Nevros’s teeth sink in deep, spilling more of that milky sap all down their chin and front.

And she does, in fact,

S C R E A M.

It is not like a human scream. There is no instrument on Earth that could replicate this sound, nor would you wish to invent one.

And although she had come to know, in the days before her banishment, the stories of magic-eaters that even faeries feared —

She has never met anyone like Nevros.

“THIEF!” she howls, thrashing against their teeth. This only aggravates the wound, tearing it open further. As much as she bucks and twists, she cannot dislodge Nevros. “BARK-BORING INSECT! EATER OF BROKEN MEATS! Thy touch — augh!“

The iron hurt her badly, sent its cold fire lancing through her. Nevros’s power is something else entirely. Her leaves are spotting. Her petals are falling dry off the bloom.

And she’s still talking shit.

“Thou — thou striketh ever at the heart of thine envy,” she says, continuing to struggle, wrapping them in thorns. “We should pity thee, were thou not beneath it. Fighting on behalf of the fleshthings? Coveting their affection as thou coveteth magic, undeserving of both and incapable of holding onto either?”

The thorns tighten.

But speaking of love, Baku is here.

The faerie queen raises her vines to defend herself from the bakemono, then. Freezes entirely for the first time since her arrival. The eyes all go still.

She is lost in a dream.

Lost being the operative word, here. These fond memories of warm intertwined hands and tender quiet moments are terra incognita. Nothing could be more disorienting than expressions of human love.

Human friendship.

The experiences of living in a littler-than-usual human body (awful, wretched constructs, full of blood and worse) that is being held, crying with joy, savoring the feeling of sand against its fleshmitten hands.

“What is this?”

The voice she uses to ask it is quite small, but the question echoes among all her mouths.

(whatisthiswhatisthiswhatisthis)

“STOP IT STOP THIS WE WILL NOT SUFFER THE INSULT OF HUMANITY ST—“

Mayumi, shining like a valkyrie, cuts into her midsentence. She attempts to shrink away from the blow but doesn’t know which direction to move, mind still spinning at the gala. Her form dodges into the next blow instead of away from it, and her attempts to course-correct are hampered both by Nev’s bulldog-like grip on her and the litany of Leslies still jingling all around.

(“Huzzah!” Adelaide shouts suddenly from the sidelines, no longer cowed into silence. Her fists are clenched. “Strike clean and true, champion!”

A moment later, too overwhelmed by emotion to continue filtering her speech: “You guys are so fucking cool!”)

Dionaea retracts into herself, clearly in agony. The scream is building again. It hums through the room and presses on your eardrums. Her remaining vines all curl at once. Her petals snap shut.

Then they seem to bulge from inside.

“Enough!”

The flowers explode open. You are showered in lush, dewy petals like confetti.

And something else.

You might spot the spores before you breathe them in. You might instinctively blink, catching one between your eye and its lash.

There’s no avoiding them no matter what you do. They float through the chateau like motes of dust, so thick in the air that you are likely to find your visibility suddenly limited.

The more you breathe, the more you feel your body reacting to them. They burn you from the inside. Your thoughts start to run together and strength begins to drain from your body.

Of course the plant lady can send out poison spores. Of course she can.

Sur la côte sud-est de l'Alaska, près de la capitale de l'État, Juneau, le climat est tempéré, maritime, avec beaucoup de pluie

Plus de 710 000 personnes vivent dans l'État de l'Alaska (47e place aux États-Unis), tandis que la densité de population moyenne ici est la plus faible des États-Unis - environ 0,4 personne par km2. Anchorage est la plus grande ville d'Alaska avec près de 300 000 habitants. Les autres grandes villes de l'Alaska sont Fairbanks (environ 35 000 habitants) et la capitale de l'État - Juneau (environ 30 000 habitants).La plus grande agglomération urbaine d'Alaska s'est formée autour d'Anchorage (environ 375 000 habitants, près de la moitié de la population totale de l'État).

Au sud de l'État, dans la région de la plus grande ville d'Alaska, Anchorage, le climat est subarctique, mais adouci par la proximité de l'océan. Il y a aussi beaucoup de précipitations ici, mais surtout sous forme de neige. Ici la température moyenne en hiver, en janvier, est de -12°C à -5°C, en été, en juillet, de 11°C à 18°C.

A l'intérieur de l'Alaska, dans la région de Fairbanks, le climat est continental, subarctique, avec de longs hivers froids (de début octobre à début mai) et des étés courts et relativement chauds.

It was a sad day in March 1949 when the Steinmeyer grocery store on 3rd and Highland Sts. closed its doors. Long a Milwaukee institution, it claimed to be the nation's largest independent retail grocery under one roof. Steinmeyer's got its start in 1865 when Capt.William Steinmeyer, who had served in the 26th Wisconsin Infantry during the Civil War, returned to Milwaukee and bought half interest in John C. Bauer's grocery at 4th St. and Juneau Ave. During those early years, Steinmeyer began his firm's tradition of personal service, making deliveries to customers' homes by wheelbarrow or by carrying a sack of flour and sugar on his back. He died in 1892, and the store passed on to his son-in-law, Emil Ott, who moved it to Highland the next year. The staff of Steinmeyer's either at the store or in its large delivery fleet, was well known for advice and service given to customers, including many old families in the social register. Times changed after World War II as supermarkets began to lure shoppers away from the small grocery stores. In this photograph, taken in 1930, some of Steinmeyer's unusual delicacies are on view, as well as the wonderful overhead trolley system that mysteriously (to young eyes) delivered customers' money to cashiers waiting in a balcony at the rear of the store. "Remember When" is prepared by the Milwaukee Public Library with resources from the local history collection.

“CHAIN STORES SAY THEY WILL OBSERVE BYLAW,” Winnipeg Tribune. June 24, 1930. Page 11. ---- Stayed Open Last Week Only to Force Issues; Police Court Cases Remanded ---- Chain stores, having last Wednesday disobeyed the early closing by-law in order to draw attention to the manner in which it was being enforced, will close tomorrow afternoon and on all Wednesday afternoons in future, according to statements made this morning by chain store officials.

This afternoon 38 grocers appeared in city police court charged with breach of the early closing bylaw. Most of them were managers of chain store branches. Counsel for them pleaded not guilty and their cases were remanded until July 2. Not Defying Law Chain store officials, interviewed this morning, stressed the fact they had no intention of keeping their stores open in defiance of the law. They were heartily in favor of the early closing bylaw but wanted to see it more strictly enforced. It was unfair to expect the chain stores to close if other stores were allowed to remain open, they said.

"The only reason we kept our stores open last Wednesday was to force the issue," said R. E. Barnett, market manager, Piggly Wiggly Ltd. "We are in favor of a bylaw which would force all retail establishments-grocers, butchers, hardware merchants, shoe shops - to close on Wednesday afternoon. We think both the executives and employes need the half-day holiday. But we don't think it fair that we should be called on to shut up shop when other stores are still doing business."
