Spatchcocking a turkey is almost like carving a Blood Eagle, except that you don’t have to pull the lungs out and salt them because they were already removed.

It's been maybe 30 years since someone brought up the blood eagle at one of my Thanksgiving gatherings.
...
Now I have to figure out where my life went wrong.
Ah. Thank you for pointing out my difficulties with these dratted subordinate conjunctions. However, you seem to have answered when it went wrong, so they are not just insubordinate to me, it seems.
If we stick with the literal, I suppose the answer to my question must be somewhere in Oklahoma, but that wasn't really the question, of course.
I could rephrase it as 'how,' but having seen the danger in that type of conjunction, maybe I'll play it safe by asking, "What conjunction of ill-thought-out life decisions some three decades ago led me to this sad dearth of Viking torment references at Thanksgiving?"
Or maybe, if I am not to rune the day, we should just have another horn of mead and / or a good brawl. I do find that a good brawl or wrestling match clears the mind wonderfully (assuming no brain injuries are incurred).
When and where are versions of the same question, as we learn from space time theory. People say things like, “George Washington slept here in 1791,” but not really: the place where he slept is in 1791.
You should definitely find a martial arts group to join. It is good for the mind and body.
Well, currently* I'm rather skeptical of physics, ever since they abandoned natural philosophy.
But, just for the sake of argument, wouldn't any answer have to include both? That is, if it's a space-time thing, wouldn't you have to include both space and time? So, one couldn't say that Washington slept in 1791 (where / what space in 1791?) any more than one could say he slept here (when / what time here?). So, it seems your first statement that "George Washington slept here in 1791" would be the only correct way to give that information, wouldn't it?
I've been looking around for an MA group to join, as a matter of fact.
*Since starting the PhD program, I'm going through about 2 books a week, so "currently" tends to refer to the last week or so, which is about how often I change my mind about something.
What I suppose I’m trying to say is that “here” means something different than it does in natural language. Just as you can’t go home again and you can’t step in the same river twice, you can’t visit the room where George Washington slept.
In terms of providing coordinates, though, “here but in 1791” would suffice.

Clearly, about thirty years ago.
