====================
 ML> I figure in my 70-75 years of life I will have had more
 ML> enjoyment than most people get in 80-85 years.
 GJ> You are getting on!  I do agree, however, and consider I have already
 GJ> had a lot more interesting experiences in my 80 years than my parents
 GJ> had in their 90 years.  And I am not finished yet.

Yes indeed, I am getting on. Getting on reasonably well, as well.

 GJ> A friend of mine was on Lipitor for years, before switching to

 GJ> continued mild depression.

Perhaps the lowered cholesterol is associated with the continued
mild depression.

 GJ> In another post you referred to "antibiotic poisoning".  That is
 GJ> something I have never heard of.  Do you only get it by taking
 GJ> antibiotics, by injection or orally, or also from eating meat from
 GJ> animals which are raised on antibiotics.  After my hip operation I was
 GJ> given antibiotics for 10 days but fortunately suffered no ill effects.

One hopes that the antibiotics used in farming don't cause such
problems or at least that the residual amount in the flesh is
small enough to be neglected. Anyhow, antibiotics can be poisonous
to you as they are to microscopic bugs. Some are worse than
others, and the sulfa drug cocktail that Lilli was put on a number
of times this year is one of the more troublesome.

 ML> Eppur si muove!
 GJ> I fail to understand the relevance to the kangaroos.
 ML> You described verminous behavior. I called the perpetrators
 ML> vermin. You said that you guys don't consider them vermin.
 ML> I thus point out that if it looks like a duck and books like
 ML> a duck, chances are it's a duck.
 GJ> What a convoluted mind you have!  That train of reasoning based on
 GJ> Galileo's supposed muttered comment would never have occurred to me.

It seemed reasonably straightforward to me; but then some
things that are quite obvious to me are relatively obscure
to others. Whether that's a sign of cleverness or derangement
it's often hard to tell: as my brother points out to me,
perhaps as a way of justifying his own thinking, a genius
finds patterns when nobody else can find them; a psychotic
finds patterns when there are no patterns.

 ML> Your mention of having weighted ones suggests an experiment
 ML> whereby you do a task identically side by side and see if
 ML> the gauge and the jigglers behave consistently. Using a
 ML> set of different weights you can do a graph
 GJ> Too many variables to get a valid comparison.

Two equal burners, two equal tasks, a number of jigglers,
why too many variables?

 Better to take the
 GJ> gauge to the local steam train enthusiasts for calibration testing.

Never having been one, and not having seen one since I last
set eyes on Greg (how are the Maymans doing, by the way), I'd
not have thought of that excellent and easy solution.

 GJ> If a jiggler-type pressure cooker is over-filled, so that a baked
 GJ> bean, for example, gets stuck in the small orifice used by the
 GJ> jiggler, the pressure, and consequently the temperature, could
 GJ> increase dramatically, until the fusible plug melts, allowing a geyser
 GJ> of uncooked beans to spray out.  The pressure gauge type of cooker
 GJ> would indicate a dangerous pressure before blowing its top.

What if the channel leading to the pressure gauge is
likewise clogged?
