I thought Catalonia had declared some years back?  I may have my regions mixed up.
And JFK files, the event that launched 1000 tinfoil-hat conspiracy theories, meh, what's a few more?

Meh. Catalonia failed miserably. No nation recognized them.

JFK had a bunch of files held back for "national security" reasons. So yea.

Thinking about starting a politics thread some time soon. Since I don't see one.

scuttlebutt among the branch of the government I work in is that the files that were held back are more recent analysis of of old files, tapes, documents and eyewitness accounts done in the late 90s in preparation to meet the 2017 release timeline and used techniques that are still used currently, hence why they were left in storage for the time being, additionally about 50 pages are the inventory logs of the snack machines in the Texas book repository that are never going to get released to "keep the tinfoil hat crowd guessing".

This was my Halloween decor.

Very cool! I'm jealous of your fire-coloring skills!
You could even say I'm green with envy.

You can embed animated gifs into posts using the [img] tags, just so you know!

Imgur doesn't treat all gifs the same way, and I'm honestly not sure as to why it does this, some are regular gifs, and then they've integrated a new format called Gifv that formats the gif simmilarly to, but not exactly like a webm but without sound iirc.

You can't download them like regular gifs either, you have to get directly to the gif, and then download it through the download button on the righthand bottom side.

That is very strange! Yeah, I'm seeing the difference now that I take the time to click around imgur. Weird! Well, embedded gif or not, that's still a really cool halloween decoration (something to consider next year: potassium gives a purple flame!)

And copper oxide also gives a green flame, that may be easier than your methanol/borax solution.

Social Network Tarot Cards!
I know that this is a complete jerk thing to do, but I can't help but point out that he left out an "an" in the description for the dickpic card.
I have no regrets.

This morning I was reading on a local Wisconsin paper's website about an old, fondly remembered, Norwegian tradition called Julebukking which is described as "a rowdier version of Halloween".  I was just wondering if it is still a thing in Norway?
