Inuit was too good to be true!

True, that!

I thought that “True” was still important in an educational setting.

Political burn!

They don’t make trash bags that big.

Haven’t seen a dual port shop vac in twenty years.

Those words got replaced by “alternative facts”, “fake news” and “biased media”

Eskimo was one specific group of early Asian people that inhabited the western shores of what is now Alaska. It was a territorial jungle at that time and they were never a majority. As the white explorers have never cared to identify the different native peoples, we somehow picked up on the one term to identify all of the indigenous races.

Kid is sharp and inventive. Good traits these days. Too bad most pols have let the talent atrophy, IF they actually ever possessed it.

Yupik the best pun today.

Construction workers plastic bags are huge.

Sad but… …true…

Well “true” still has meaning in programming, as does “false”.

So how many people in snow country are going to try that with a large plastic bag full of air?

This is a variation on how schoolkids make, or used to make, globes (to paint a world map onto) using papier-mâché and an inflated balloon.

Or am I oldsplaining what everyone here already knows?

Gee, I still like the Spandau Ballet song.

So true.

It occurs to me that what we’ve made here isn’t an igloo so much as a snow tent. Which wouldn’t be that big a deal, except that it can be shortened to “stent,” which you have to admit is a pretty cool deal indeed

That is what they do, first widen it with a balloon then place a device to hold it wider called a “stent” for arteries that clog.
