Word of the Day
Now initially you might think you don't need or even want to know aboutbutyrate (ˈbjuːtɪˌreɪt) noun,
any salt or ester of butyric acid, containing the monovalent group C3H7COO- or ion C3H7COO–, and when you then bumped into this, having first found out it is in butter, you might well panic:
Examples of butyrate in a Sentence
Recent Examples on the WebClear plastic screwdriver handles are usually made from cellulose acetate butyrate, a material developed in the 1930s.
— Roy Berendsohn, Popular Mechanics, "Why Do My Old Plastic Screwdriver Handles Stink?," 8 Oct. 2017But then you would realize that lately it has had a great rise in reputation and helps maintain your biodome and aids in the production of key neurotransmitters that help both our gut and our brains to work. Apparently we make it when bacteria in our bellies ferment high fibre carbohydrates, but it is also, and here is the punchline, found in butter! The highest food source for it. I am relieved, and think I will just butter up everything!
At least these verbose scientist think so:

Reporting live from traffic outtside of Lambeau Field:
“Life is good…bitchez…”
I’m fine with posting this way. 🙂
fwiw, the 200 day on gold is still way up north at 1460. Trend is still down. My advice at that other place to take the summer or maybe the rest of the year off still stands. Just thought I’d throw something substantive in there, so this isn’t just all tunes. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…
This works well, and I didn’t have to authorize you two.
I think I like the idea of not having to be authorized by you, xty. Let’s face it, you are kind of a spelling and grammar nazi. lol 😉
Those goofy avatars are being generated by a robot. I can change the robot and it will assign you arbitrary other awful avatars. But if I log you in, then you should be able to change it, I think.
i’m not just another pretty face 🙂
That bleary eyed green face it gave me is already growing on me. Let’s see if this picture will post.

Not really. Just the link, which is OK for now. I can live with that. The reader is not absolved of all effort after all.
This method of posting (name and email address required, and the fields are already filled for me) suits me fine. I doubt I will bother going to wordpress to create an account, avatar, profile, etc. As I said this morning, I already have one for posting at Ritholtz’s blog, and I’m still indignant about it not being of any use for a different wordpress blog. I guess I’m just used to the google/blogspot approach where things were more universal.
More bling…

I see there is an image thingy down there now. Maybe you just added it? Or I just missed it before. It doesn’t seem to want web hosted stuff, but I’ll try something that is on my computer.
Aha!
So if you want something that is webhosted, just drag it to your desktop first and go from there. I’ll try some bling again that way.
Hey, I tried and it didn’t like it. Just dragged it you say?
Yikes. I better find an edit comment plugin.
I guess image size is pretty important here, as it just puts them on at actual size. Yours was probably some giant loon image you took yourself, while my silver one was just a 300 x 300 that I stole off the web and the bacon one was 576 x 384.
New try with changed settings:
Not to get off topic, but browsing through some of the images I’ve taken over the past few years and saw this one that gave me a laugh. Old atlee had that blog pegged from the get-go. No wonder he disappeared a long time ago.
oops I wrecked it, hang on.
Did I wreck it?
Yeah, look at the date on that.
I think people are just going to have to be careful with image size. It looks like it has room for stuff maybe about 800 wide. Do any plugins automatically resize?
Here, I’ll try a huge one and see what happens. This one is 3072 x 2304. I bet it will be bad.
yeah, most of it is missing off the right, just like your loon.
So this time I resized my image myself first, to 800 x 600, and let’s see…
Yeah, March of 2011, and atlee already had a huge part of the problem already pegged.
I was looking for a plugin to limit size. I think I am going to have to be willing to mess with code – I have no idea what I am doing, but you can usually back track. I will try re-sizing my loon.
He really disliked me, though. Almost right. But I think his frustrations just boiled over on to me. I never took it personally.
And yes, a width of 800 seems to work very well.
This is actually better than at that other place. It was a pain for everyone to have to put their pics and charts on a website like flickr or imgur first before being able to post them. Here we won’t have to bother with that.
Nice loon, btw. “/

oops. now it seems to be working.
I think this is an excellent analysis of the debt ceiling fight. If either the Treasury or The Fed bypasses the debt ceiling, oh baby watch the Tea Party scream bloody murder!

I have my popcorn ready. And as long as we are doing tech stuff today, I think I’ll try a gif, though I’m pretty sure it’s not going to work.

And btw, a plugin to give us a chance to preview a post before actually posting would be pretty awesome, just sayin…
oops, I’m on moderation. dang.
Probably because I did two links in one post. I feel so dirty…
Maybe this one…

nope. I give up on the gifs.
see you cats tomorrow
for some people that I have pissed off in this lifetime…some..not all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LN9AQTCnYyM
from the looks of things I could knock out EO rather quickly. He looks tired and confused whereas I appear angry and energized…just stating the obvious.
while EO sits in the penalty box, and mfixty4 waits on the bench, i’ll try my first GIF…
I have no idea why EO went on moderation again – but I did change my email address associated with the account, and for some reason I got a notification there and had to approve it. Be patient with me … it is my first time. And Pete is off the bench and ready to roll.
But yes, preview and edit for comments is my next goal. And some formatting. I was able to get a great one for the posts, but it didn’t show up in the comments. It must be possible, for a lot of this is like watching tfmr grow. I am guessing the tech team knew next to nothing and were making it up as they went. Just like me, only no one is silly enough to pay me.
Can you preview? Yes, as you type the comment appears as it would appear below. I will try to add a photo. It did not appear in the preview field. hmnn.
And the resize photo thing didn’t work. New thread to escape from photo size hell.
