Turns out he just wanted to discuss things like "Will you be taking calls while you're off" and "Do you have that giant Cognos query done yet." So you know...it was heartwarming.

Phummus posted:Phum-grandpa died last night. I emailed my boss to tell him that I'd be taking time off and he replied, "We'll discuss in the morning". Reminds me of the time a friend of mine's grandmother died sort of suddenly and she emailed a professor as soon as she found out on Friday asking to reschedule an exam that was on Monday so she could fly up to Canada to go to the funeral. Apparently it's her fault that the dead don't give at least a week's notice as per the syllabus and she had to either take the exam or take a zero. People are loving jerks.

Right. We had a woman who's father died suddenly here and she took her 3 whole days of bereavement. The next calendar year, she got dinged on her performance review for "unscheduled time off"

Took three unpaid days off and got dinged for it in my review.

I was pretty sure he was trolling with the instant rice, veered back to thinking he was serious with the real-sounding recipe for poached salmon, but the fondue pretty much nailed it on the trolling side. If you were told to do a best-buy you tube cooking show, what would you do?

There is also the infamous Doritos® Cool Ranch® Consomme from CHOW, so I assume they're absolutely on the level with this one.

Speaking of bad YouTube films, over at CineD we've been chuckling over Surviving Edged Weapons. It's hilarious. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-lDtCHFmvg Here is a 5-minute teaser. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFr30p0aZl0

Hey dudes! Remember Leroy Diplowski? The rad candy-making goon who had that cool thread in GWS and another one in SA Mart? A few months ago he struck out on his own and started his own candy-making operation and now he's got a Kickstarter (I liked his new store on Facebook which is how I know). I know Kickstarters have a certain reputation on the forums these days but I thought I'd share with you all cause his candy is good as gently caress and that thread was pretty cool.

Was knife crime ever so endemic in the US that this sort of video was needed? I understand it's important to be safe but I can't imagine that there was ever a time where police were at risk of being stabbed, decapitated or disemboweled by every person they stopped in their day-to-day activities.

Thanks to our liberal courts knife culture is epidemic in America.

Police get training videos / lectures for all sorts of things that don't happen every day. Given how dangerous, concealable and affordable knives are, it doesn't really surprise me that there'd be an hour or so spent on ostensible best practices. That said, the video itself is something else.

Cops, doormen, everyone who works with security loving hate knives. Easier to conceal and use, and quicker to draw than a gun, and still kills you stone dead. If you're defending yourself against a guy attacking you with a knife you can at least draw a circle seven or eight paces around you where you won't have time to raise and fire a gun if he makes a run for you, at least twice that if your gun is holstered. I loving hate knives.

Who has experience with maltodextrin powders? Been messing around with it at work, but its not acting the way I expect. Its taking substantially more malto to dry out oil than the recipes I've seen online, and its still not as dry as I was hoping for. It also has a really clumpy sticky mouthfeel that makes it weird to eat at best

Welp. Just found out my grandpa passed away last night. Thanks for putting up with my culinary experimentations when I was young and I would cook you scrambled eggs with waaaayy too much sriracha for breakfast and for buying me my first electric guitar. And for letting me win at chess sometimes. I will miss you Lolo.

That could very well be the source of my problems though. Is willpowder still the site of choice or should I try somewhere else?
