I wouldn’t clip onto a hose, but maybe some plastic flashing or a plastic bracket. Most cars have something near the battery that would work. It’s not essential; just can make it a little easier.

The important thing is not to complete the circuit near a battery, since it can cause sparks which can ignite the flammable vapors that batteries tend to emit when discharging. This is especially important near the dead battery, which has potentially been discharging quite a lot recently.

So the usual sequence is:

1. Dead positive
2. Live positive
3. Live negative
4. Dead ground (to the metal chassis, ideally not right next to the battery)

I usually start by clipping the dead negative cable to something non-conductive to keep it out of the way and then move it to ground as the last step.

Right, my comment was more tongue-in-cheek than serious, though it’s always seemed odd to me that “bleeds more easily” got named “loves blood”.

What’s the reverse of hemophilia?

Hemophobia?

I’m almost disappointed to learn you don’t use Þunderbird.

No, people don’t. I’m pretty sure it’s in front for artistic license. He wanted to show the ducks talking but also wanted to show a funny bumper sticker.

It means the same thing as the name of that company, too. It’s marketing.

Chicago has often been used for inspiration (as well as a number of other cities) but it was originally based on Manhattan/NYC. The name “Gotham” was coined by Washington Irving in 1807 as a nickname for New York City.

We always thought Gotham was Manhattan, but it turns out it’s actually Seattle.

The title is something like “Several Species of Small Furry Animals Grooving With a Pict.” But I think there’s more to it

The animals in question are also gathered together in a cave.

Doesn’t the need to specify those in addition (“and he’s gotta be …”) mean those are characteristics that aren’t necessarily inherent to being a hero?

The fact that that link directs me to a page that’s trying to get me to install the Voyager app, rather than directly to the post, makes me never want to even try Voyager.

So your plan is to become a professional kickboxer?

SSO is “single sign on”. DNS is “domain name service”, which is just a way to turn a hostname (like www.google.com) into an IP address. It’s sort of like a phone directory, but for the Internet.

I wouldn’t say it’s toxic, but many dogs are lactose intolerant, and cheese tends to be high in fat which can lead to pancreatitis if given too much or too frequently.

So you’re saying that just a couple of lab mice could start a successful campaign to take over the world?

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

I believe that “a” is either “a” or “an”; it depends.

You mean in addition to the place where the deer and the antelope play?

It’s a pretty big hat. A mite menacing, even.
