After watching 3/4 grandparents deal with Alzheimers..

I'd rather be 80 years old and hit a bridge doing 80 than deal with that. You watch your loved ones die twice.

Alzheimers is a son of a bitch. I have a cousin that has early onset alzheimers, it really came on hard in her late 40's/early 50's. She's mostly lucid for about 2-5 hours a day right now, but from 3:30 until she goes to bed, she doesn't know really what's going on. Her mom had it and her grandmother had it as well, it seems to affect females on that tree, fortunately she had 2 boys, however they both have daughters so it's going to be a nail biter to see if it skips or not.

I don't know how I feel about losing myself mentally. On the one hand yeah it'd be terrifying, but on the other hand the less I understand as my body slowly succumbs to old age, the better. If I end up having no idea what's going on in my final months, I think I'd be OK with that. Better than being completely knowledgeable about it I think.

I think. Not really sure.

I don't want to lose either, and hope I keep the mental clarity to somehow off myself if I see the slope coming.
My grandfathers body started failing, and his mind was sharp as a tack. Near the end of his life, he was angry and bitter all the time. A once strong, proud farmer was trapped in a husk that wouldn't let him speak coherently, eyes that wouldn't let him read any more, and ears that didn't work to listen to people. It was loving awful, and I truly would not wish it on anybody.

I had a great-aunt who's mind went, and its just as bad. She didn't remember people, names, had panic attacks since she was randomly lost and didn't know where she was, etc.

My mother has the best plan - as soon as she determines she's done being any kind of useful, she's going to wait for the first good blizzard, go for a drive, ditch the car, and just let herself freeze to death. Apparently a peaceful way to go, and she swears she never wants to be a burden. Legal, doctor-assisted suicide cannot come quickly enough. Let people die with dignity rather than keeping a shell alive.

Freezing to death just sounds awful. I fell asleep drunk by the campfire once in wet socks with my coat unbuttoned in November and waking up shivering uncontrollably was not my idea of a good time.

I vote for skydiving without a chute. Sounds like a more exhilarating way to go.

If I'm young and ever diagnosed with something terminal, I'm going to do that. But aim for an office building with some CEO's that are assholes. Try and nail a conference table with my meaty remains or something. Go out with style!
Also, apparently freezing, once you hit a certain point, is just warmness and a sleep that you never wake up from. Given my moms threshold for pain I wouldn't be shocked if she could pull it off. Its also a way to make sure there's no muss, no fuss, and no chance of hurting someone else.

Turns out I'd make a lovely meteorologist. Roads were... okay during the day, went to absolute poo poo once the sun went down. And yeah, my concern was the other drivers. I lost count of how many times I had to dodge people who lost control trying to pass me (hey jackass, there's a reason I'm doing 30 in a 45, and I'm already passing most of the traffic at that speed, and only doing so because I know the limits of my car and tires). The worst was on my way home, a Blazer had been tailgating me, decided to try to pass me, stomped it, and did a 180 next to me. I had to swerve into the next lane, but since I actually did it without doing stupid poo poo like stomping on the gas, standing on the brakes, or yanking on the wheel as hard as I could, I avoided them easily (then did a slow when they caught up to me at the next light, they refused to look in my direction for some odd reason).

Had a BMW SUV blow past me doing about 70 (in a 60, I was doing ~50 since there were icy spots, but that was on a highway - 121 for DFW goons)... they learned a lesson about ice and bridges. Almost wound up wrong side up, but recovered once they hit the end of the bridge. Once all the slush re-froze I couldn't comfortably get above about 25 on major roads unless it was a heavily travelled road, 10-15 on side streets. Of course, I'm factoring in the fact that I don't have ABS or traction control into those speeds, and there were at least a half dozen times when I had to threshold brake to avoid some dipshit who decided "oh I can pull out right in front of that car, they can stop in time to avoid me!". And on ice, threshold braking turns into "well gently caress they locked up as soon as I hit that icy patch, better let up just a little, okay dry patch again, poo poo, locked up again when I hit that next icy patch". This is why I refuse to get a concealed carry permit, and also why I keep a dashcam in the car.

I wound up working open to nearly close - i left the store at 8:45 (we close at 10 normally; closed at 9 tonight). We stopped taking deliveries several times through the day because we were just so overwhelmed, and switched over to carry out only at 8:30. I talked to my old boss at Pizza Hut, that franchise closed their stores at 6pm.

I consider myself a pretty competent driver when it comes to the ice poo poo we get here, but I still managed to get stuck when I stopped for a red light on my way home, on flat ground no less. It took the full light cycle for me to inch 2 car lengths into the intersection, then I finally got traction as the other part of the intersection got a green light. Even starting in 2nd gear was just spinning the tires.

Apparently my car drank Red Bull, as it slowly grew wings through the day.

I think that poo poo is headed my way next. We had freezing rain all day yesterday with a forecast for snow + sleet + freezing rain throughout the day tomorrow.

Going to be just warm enough to melt the fresh snow a little bit then freeze over night. I think we're making up for the past few winters being mild and dry.

Make your own chicken broth. It is 100x better than anything you can buy and super easy to make. Get a big stock pot, put in a whole chicken or 2 depending on how big your pot is(or what ever bone in chicken is on sale), couple onions cut in half, a leek, a head of garlic, some celery and carrots, fill with water and let it simmer for a few hours. if you do it right you end up with chicken stock that turns into jello when you put it in the fridge. Makes anything you cook with it delicious.

gently caress those things. Most of the servers I deal with at work(HP sl390's) use them and they are a pain in the rear end. Especially when the NOC team can't follow instructions like remove the loving infiniband dongle so I can have 2 10GB ports.

For best results burn a side of the onion on the burner's flames for a minute or two and then toss it in.

You should be cooking with a gas stove top anyway :colbert:

I do similar, though don't spend money on it.
Every time I want chicken, I buy a few whole birds, butcher them myself and just save the carcasses in the freezer.
Usually when butchering the chickens I save the wings and drumsticks for roasting, so those roasted bones are added later too.

Every time I buy/use celery, onions, carrots, garlic etc, I save the peels/ends and freeze them too. When I have enough 'waste' products, I chuck them in a pressure cooker with some pepper, thyme, water and cook 45min.
Free no salt stock*. Freeze in a silicone muffin tray, (so easy to pop out when frozen solid), and then chuck the frozen pucks in a zip lock bag in the freezer.

* Just said that for the benefit of people that want a low sodium diet.
I can't stand unseasoned food, but I don't eat fast/junk food or pre-processed food much. When I cook, I do love salt, vinegar, spice, dairy, sauces inc mustard and/or chillies. Wouldn't eat at all if was bland food, food is just a vehicle to get those flavours into my mouth. I'm hardly ever hungry anyway and would just get some alcohol instead if it wasn't for the want of those flavours.

E: VVV
Then do what I do. Every month or so you'll have enough offcuts and bones in the freezer to make a litre of stock and freeze into pucks. If storage is a problem reduce the stock as concentrated as you can, then re-dilute with water for use in cooking

Freeze it! We have a giant stock pot that can fit 2 whole chickens and makes a ton of stock, but it also gets used in almost everything that gets cooked in the house so it only lasts a month at most. When we get down to 1 container of stock in the freezer we make another batch. I really need to buy a chest freezer or something, the existing one is tiny and usually is full of stock and frozen chicken from costco.

If it's cheap the rear suspension is pretty neat in addition to four wheel discs. The biggest issues I've had with owning a semi-obscure 20+ year old econocoupe are finding model specific interior and especially exterior parts. Drivetrain and suspension items are rather cheap and a quick browse of Rockauto show the MX-3 is no different. The question is do you want to deal with the problems of a 20 year old 2,582lb japanese car while only getting 0-60 in 8.3 seconds with an open differential? Seals and hoses on my Toyota are rather tired after all these years and I'm guessing that's par for the course.

The NX2000 (SR20DE with a LSD) appears to be the king of naturally aspirated early 90s FF 2+2 coupes if you can get one though. The Eclipse GS-T/Laser RS Turbo/Talon TSi poo poo on everything else summarily. The whole market is full of unicorns like the Geo Storm GSi, Isuzu Impulse Turbo, Hyundai Scoupe, Toyota Paseo, Escort GT, and Nissan NX2000.

Instead of a stock pot, y'all motherfuckers should go buy a pressure cooker. I can make stock in half an hour or so, instead of the 2-4 hours it takes to make stock in a conventional pot.

I'll admit to being colour blind.. but it seems like the brightness might be off a touch?

Yesssss, I oven-roast them and my favorite parts are the individual leaves that have fallen out and turned into crispy salty little bastards. I wonder if I could do something similar with cabbage, since it would be all individual leaves...
