Yeah, I'm well aware; she's had some "dance" classes in daycare, and I figure this'll be similar.

Go do their free lesson and see what you think about the vibe of the place. If they're friendly and cheerful and the instructors are good, maybe try it out. If they're all KOBRA KAI NEVER DIE and THERE IS NO WEAKNESS IN MY DOJO then politely say thank you and never darken their doorstep again. Also, lots of places won't let kids under 5 attend classes. You just can't keep them focused for more than a few minutes until that age.

Never thought I'd be asking about flashlights but here I am. I want to replace my very old Maglites with LED lights. The full size ones I'm looking at around a price point of between $10-$30 all hover around 1000 lumens. Quick research shows my incandescent ones put out less than 100. Were they really as weak as the numbers suggest? Do I need a full size flashlight for household/backyard use?

No but it's nice and even a lot of super cheap ones are significantly brighter than any halogen you ever had, and have so much more battery life that you can leave it on all night once or twice and still get plenty of use out of it. Also, a tip: LEDs are low-drain (which means low amperage, really), and carbon-zinc cells can be so much cheaper than alkalines that you actually get a lot more mileage for your  .

But yes. Old flashlights are worse in every way than modern flashlights. Except that “makes light” is really kind of a binary state in household use cases.

That's one of the selling points that got me, over full day battery life (probably on low mode) on some D cell models. And thanks for the carbon zinc tip, I'll look into that! tuyop posted:I’d argue that your stuff sounds like it’s been working fine and you don’t need to rip more resources out of our poor dying planet so that you can replace your working stuff with marginally better stuff. Mine is old enough that the bulb is probably going to burn out right when I need it, so I'm just being proactive. And I'm extremely for being green but... it's a flashlight.

SAMLITE- LED Tactical Flashlight With 5 Options, Bright LED Light, Red Pointer, UV Blacklight, Green Light and Magnetic Bottom - Water Resistant - (3 AAA Batteries Included) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MZZOEGE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_sPHADbRFKXG9H I bought that a few months ago because a watch i got doesnt have tritium on the dial but some goofy coating you have to expose to light to see at night that only last like 10 minutes. Its decently cheap and has a laser for entertaining cats. Next time i go to the tucson desert museum at night i can use the uv to look for scorpions.

What is the best moss to use for wide tracts of forest floor? Should I start now in September or wait for spring? I'm thinking of helping my mother grow a continuous moss bed in the vast wooded area of her estate.

I'm thinking of helping my mother grow a continuous moss bed in the vast wooded area of her estate. You're going to have to be more specific about where this forest is. "Moss" is like 16 000 different species haha. Also, if it already doesn't have a bunch of moss, you're probably looking at an uphill battle. At the very least, you'll probably have to systematically destroy nearly everything else that's living on the forest floor to make way for the moss.

Is there a single-word noun for a slain adversary? Like, if I murder someone, that person could be described as a "victim," but if that person and I are in battle and I kill them, they're not a victim. What are they, then? Specifically, I'm writing a script for a thing that involves someone who is trying to kill these people, but because of his hubris he allows the others to kill him. He's still adversarial at this point, but he's not fighting, so using adversary in this context makes it seem like he's more active in the end. Something like, "Her attempt to obscure her escape had failed, and now was their prisoner, and as she would not surrender, she would thus become their ___________."

AlbieQuirky posted:“vanquished foe” really covers it a vanquished foe just means a defeated enemy, it doesn't necessarily mean they are dead. the same phrase can be used to describe an army in retreat etc or even a prisoner (which in this case the OP is trying to say she is not) i think victim or casualty, which are also technically ambiguous, make a bit more sense in this case. what you are describing is essentially a summary execution, those have victims Earwicker fucked around with this message at 16:43 on Sep 1, 2019 |

What I've always told my students is that if you have a sentence that you genuinely can't find the ending to, then the sentence fails at communicating, and it should be rewritten. eta: That came out a little harsher than I mean it to. The suggestions given are good ones! But if the author doesn't find them to be the answer they want, then there are structural issues with the sentence and a rewrite is probably the best option.
