Re: Miscellany
I took a chance on the borked Gallery to upload another image. We'll see if this one propagates itself all over the Gallery as well.
It would be fitting, since this is the Alien Baltan from the original Ultraman, which was a colony of microscopic invaders who could combine to create a larger version of the same monster, either several human-sized at a time, or one Ultraman-sized version so he could fight it in the customary time slot (19 minutes into the episode).
Only 5 bucks at amazon. I used the gift card I got from my latest "good job boy here's a bone" award for doing something nice for somebody here. I am actually grateful for that one because it was nominated by another guy in my group who is being forcibly eliminated, despite being one of the best team members I've ever worked with.

Unlike most clickbait-y websites like Buzzfeed or Upworthy, the article links on Huffington Post are special.
They’re arranged in a vertical format: a headline, followed by a photo, followed by a headline, followed by a photo.
This means it’s really easy to pair the photo with the wrong headline.

It doesn't for me either because I've got all Facebook related content blocked if it is third party.

Tweet that just popped up in my feed. I don't know the context, but I suspect it's better without it.

Re: Miscellany
New glass containers smell funny inside. I am surprise. It's not the lids. I made dummy lids out of cardboard or replaced them with plastic wrap rubber banded on, and they still smell funny. I would've thought they would be odorless inside. I wonder what it is that smells in there? Although it's a weird, stale sort of smell, I think it's probably from the material itself rather than anything biological going on in there. I don't think it's residue of cleaning agents they might use to clean them out at the factory either. I tried washing them out with all sorts of stuff, but the odor never seems to disappear completely. Maybe I have to store something in them for a while to make the stink go away.

You totally need a van with that on the side, maybe with a muscly barbarian holding up a drumstick... and a floating head looking on.

Today's "Agnes" addresses similar issues in a slightly different manner (see thumbnail).
As for the Guide itself (which you can download as a pdf, if you follow the link to Muckrock), it's basically a guide to using the Internet as a research tool (including as a tool to research the Internet). I'm converting the Guide to Word so that cut-and-paste is a little easier (ongoing now, but taking a while), and will extract the TOC for you in a little bit.
