HE'S A ROBAT


E: gently caress two pages in a row what the poo poo


E2: tomorrow is my first day of work, haven't even been back a week but want to get back into the swing of things. Except I don't have a regular partner anymore and I technically can't drive the ambo because of the accident I had the last day I worked before I left (rear ended a car on the freeway, but it was actually his fault and the cop didn't cite me after looking at the dash cam footage) and I haven't taken the safety course again. That means I'm an EMT that can only chart and not drive, which means we only get BLS calls, which means an easy four days. gently caress yeah.


E3: or it means a very difficult four days. And I actually gained weight on the deployment so I barely fit into my uniform anymore. Time to cut back on breads n' poo poo for a few months.


E4: and I showed up in Phoenix during the hottest time of the year. Yeah 100 degrees with a constant 95% humidity in Cuba sucked balls ("stainless" indoor fixtures were 100% surface rusted after a few weeks), but this 110 degree bullshit has to stop. kingofthehillbobyphoenix.jpg

That's actually a bit more done, the center was incredible. Freshly ground salt & pepper rubbed on, olive oil in the pan, then thyme & garlic. 60 seconds, then flip, then 60 , then flip then a few tablespoons of butter, then flip then baste the steak in the butter and oil mix and OMG THE FLAVOR.

FLIGHT SAFETY TIP: Fatties out first

I love me some steak, but it's outrageously expensive these days. I just bought a bunch of AAA ribeyes (God's own cut IMO) for $35/kilogram. And don't even get me started on tenderloin prices; a whole one at Costco these days is like $150-180...a few years ago it would have been $90. :sigh:


That's an awful thin steak there cowboy.

At least you sort of cooked it the second best way; better still is to a) get a thicker steak, and b) cook it the same as you did, but at a much lower temperature, to get the Maillard reaction going real strong on the surface.

Best way to cook steak though is sous vide, if you've got the gear. Holy poo poo I can't even begin to describe how awesome a sous-vide steak is.

It's been an incredibly mild summer here so far, other than one week (back before you returned) that was brutally hot. We've had more humidity than usual, but the average temps have been running at or below normal most of the time, so don't know what you are complaining about really (unless you are new here, in which case, enjoy the mild summer!).

No, I've just gotten extremely lucky with training events coinciding with the hottest parts of the summer. This will be my third summer here, but the first one I spent Jun/Jul/Aug in Kentucky for medic training (and I had the Subaru with A/C the rest of the year), and last year I did a similar thing in Alaska. I mean, last year the beetle sucked even in May so I was glad to get away. Today I waited until 1600 or so when the sun started getting lower in the sky to do the valves on the car, so I could sit in the shadow and do one side, then push the car the other way around to do the other side. And it's not like Cuba acclimated me to heat or anything - I spent most of the time going from air conditioned box to air conditioned box. The work was stressful and the drive between sucked (all we had were Kawasaki Mules limited to 18mph), but we did PT at around 0400 in the morning and were back in buildings by the time the sun came out at 6.

For those without a sous vide, anyone can do this with a beer cooler, hot water and a thermometer.

Unfortuantly I doubt I'll have the time. That or I'll get distracted and make a sate sauce then do diced beef / seafood mix - the best sate is the one that sneak attacks you after five minutes and you sweat your rear end off as it works it's magic. What a ring of fire the next day but soooooo worth it.

Are we talking poor food choices? Im down in virginia on a roadtrip. I had a pepperoni and cheese roll because there were like 30 sitting on a table at a sheetz, which aren't in ny. Then for dinner I went to wafflehouse which we also don't have. Poor choices when one is on the road.

Edit: the night before I stayed at a cabin. Bought a bag of rolls, 4 pieces of cheese, and a pound of ground beef and made the best burger I've ever had.

Edit2: and then I drove on this road which would make anyone quesy if you drove at a proper speed. The limit was 55, those yellow signs are just suggestions right? Its really more like a rally codriver, there was 15, 20, 25, 30, and so on that let you know how much of a curve you had coming. Wasn't expecting to record so enjoy my wrongly orientated potato video

So an update on "cakefool will design us a robot" at work. I floated some sketches/designs/measurements/calculations etc to my boss, who sat there looking at me like there was dogs cocks growing out of my eyes.

I think I may have lost him in technical detail, but I'm now at least 70% confident I can do it versus the 3% I was previously. I have an integrator coming in to discuss next week and a couple of automation vendors lined up to talk to. Feeling better about this.

Also new house is looking like it'll line up nicely with my work commitments, I just need to build a fence and book carpet fitters.

That said, unfatting myself seems to be working since I'm now finding that a burrito bowl from Chipotle is like way too much food. I think this will change after once my squat gets back up to 2+ plate working sets. :getin:
