I didn’t equate “314” with π. OK.
The “ZDEC” part is sort of reminiscent of how the Russian work ‘zdes ’ (English here ) can be transliterated into Roman letters. Hmmm. Maybe that “Z” is actually a turned “И” ?
OK, got it figured out.
“314” = pi , or in Russian " Пи"
Пи + здец yields “Пиздец” :
Literal meaning : damn it
How to use it : Another word hailing from ancient language; its original meaning of ‘vulva’ distorted over time. It is among the words that have existed in the Russian language for almost as long as the language itself. Pizdets is the general description of a situation that went very wrong, so it can be used on its own as an exclamation or in a sentence: Vot eto pizdets!
I posted a photo on Imgur, and copy/pasted the url on a separate line. But I got a message: “Sorry, you can’t embed media items in a post.”

Not sure what went wrong, @panache45 . The official SDMB instructions are probably in the FAQ. I was paraphrasing from memory because that’s how I do it and that’s how others do it too.

Bingo.
My coworker said it’s pronounced like, “peez-DYETS”. Hope that helps.

Glad you got it, @panache45 . You’ve shared that one in the eclipse discussions. It is stunning every time I see it.

Bald Eagle, seen December 11 in Niles, IL.
Niles is a suburb just North of Chicago and I’m surprised that I saw an eagle there. I wish I could get a better pic.
Alright, this category isn’t gaining traction so I say we end it. I created this category so I’ll create a new one.
Okay?
Your plans this weekend, or this week, or this month…

Now that I’ve had that wine (red zin), take aspirin and drink water and hit the rack.
