Just spent about two hours and finally named and organized all of my scanned documents, and did my round of backups (I have a dropbox that's specific to special documents, has its own separate recovery email address and stuff, login info is stored in a lockbox) to the relevant USB drives that get stored separate from each other, as well as the documents folder zipped, passworded, and emailed to a few separate accounts. It's something I used to do fairly often, but now it's down to like once or twice a year, tops. This round I had all of my military docs (ripped my iperms before I lost access at discharge), name/gender/surgery docs, school stuff, student loan and GI bill stuff, and moving stuff. More and more life seems to be about moving certain papers back and forth. With my big printer, scanner, laminator, vinyl cutter, fold-down spray adhesive and binding booth, and various cutters and folders, I think I'm at least an acolyte of the school of Documancy.

Went to a new physical therapist today to do some work on my back. Holy poo poo. She wanted to check my psoas muscle. And by check I mean she reached into my abdomen, under my ribs (literally, I'm not exaggerating), around my organs and hunted around like she was checking what I ate for dinner last night by feel. If you've never had it done, it wasn't completely unbearable, close, but do-able, but it wasn't fun. Saying to relax when it feels like your getting multiple shivs into your abdomen is easier said than done.

Fine car but holy poo poo the electronics are hosed. Touchscreen would freeze for ten minutes at a time and the GPS stopped working for twenty in downtown Chicago, deciding I must be driving through Lake Michigan. And gently caress auto-brights, I disabled that poo poo as soon as I figured out how. I mean GPS failing when surrounded by high rises is incredibly common (the device needs a lock on at least 3 satellites, IIRC?), I ran into that all the loving time in Dallas with every phone I owned, but Google Maps would just sit there until it got enough of a signal again to figure out which way is up. shy boy from chess club posted:Haha man it sucks when GPS fails and you dont know where you are and really need it.Coming out of New Jersey somewhere I was trying to get to 87 then 287 to get back to CT. Mine thought I was driving on surface streets at some point where I had a choice of probably 5 connectors to choose from with dubious signage. My friend and I were laughing and took the best guess to find out maybe 5 minutes later when the GPS came around that it was the right one. In Dallas, I-635 has a "TEXpress" section that's tolled.... and underground. It undercuts the highway by a bit. GPS still works down there (it's not completely covered), but on 635 Google Maps could never decide if I'm on the access road, the highway itself, or the TEXpress section. 635 in that area is 6 or 7 lanes, each way, with 2-3 lanes on the access road, and the TEXpress section is also 3 lanes each way.  If only it was a bit cheaper (and could be here in time for my flight Friday), I'd buy that for myself.

I got poo poo in 2011 for having "too many books" in my backpack as I boarded a flight to London, where I was going to be living for the next two months. I almost missed my flight until the TSA supervisor told the rest of the mouth breathers to let me catch my flight, and this is after they repeatedly used the explosive test strips on my backpack but never actually opened the goddam backpack and took everything out. I think a PornHub backpack for flying would either blow their minds to the point of breaking them, or more likely have them assume there's no way you could be a terrorist with such an obnoxious backpack.

I'm fully expecting to catch poo poo over my diabetic testing supplies, even though I've printed out the "TSA Notification Card: Individuals with Disabilities and Medical Conditions" card (which lets you fill in a condition and equipment you need to carry). I mean... worst case, I chuck a box of cheap lancets in the garbage at security, but buying them OTC in a retail store is $$$$ compared to online (a box of decent fine point ones is a couple of bucks online, vs  for name brand or a few bucks for store brand medium point). And I'm finding conflicting info on if generic lancets can be carried (some websites say no, they have to have the same name as the meter manufacturer embossed into them).Tossing those in the garbage isn't exactly a nice thing to do for the people who actually collect the garbage, either. ... obviously I haven't flown in loving years (probably a decade).

No. It was...good. Weird, huh? I do like Whittaker as the new doc, though. Full of energy like 10 and 11, but without 10's depression, 11's bipolar anger, and with a dash of honest oversharing added as seasoning. Capaldi was awful in every way and I stopped watching then.

Super. A charge for $6.20 from some place I don't recognize just went through ("ISLXCAM CYX in UPPER FAIRMOU US" per the text alert). So there's decidedly a non-zero chance that two loving days before Thanksgiving I'll have to cancel the card. I have the number memorized and everything, and I'll gave to hunt down everything that uses it for recurring charges.

I watched the first one with Whitaker and enjoyed it but haven't watched the other ones. It just feels too forced. Like, I don't want to watch it but feel obligated. I loved ten and eleven, and Clara with twelve, I just...stopped caring. So my dad's getting heart surgery today. He's at Northwestern in downtown Chicago and they're doing a pretty cutting edge procedure (as I understand it) replacing or repairing two heart valves without open heart surgery. I'm having the Volvo looked at today to see what's up with the one front caliper that's rubbing. I replaced the caliper in January and it was fine, but when I replaced the front pads and rotors last month I noticed the piston was super hard to push in, and now it feels like there's a slight but constant brake force on that wheel. Smell and heat from the wheel confirm it. Having a pro look at it so I don't keep throwing calipers at it. In the meantime my $50 XJ is a monster on slick roads, I just wish the heat (and therefore defrost) worked. I wasn't expecting ice/snow this morning but lo, white poo poo everywhere and when I took the Challenger out its rear end was all over the place. Instead of feathering the throttle for an hour I opted for the 4WD and gloves. CornHolio fucked around with this message at 13:40 on Nov 20, 2018 |

MomJeans420 posted:This is probably like asking what's the one true religion, but I need a corn bread recipe and my friends from the south insist you can't use sugar, and all the recipes I see online have sugar in them. Thoughts and/or recipes? My friend who makes very good corn bread but is from California uses sugar, but it tastes good so I may just use his recipe. 5 tb butter, unsalted 3/4c flour 3/4c cornmeal 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 2 eggs 1 cup buttermilk Oven to 425. Butter an 8" pan, or oil a cast iron skillet if you prefer. Melt the butter. Whisk together dry ingredients. Separately whisk together buttermilk and eggs. Add butter. Mix into dry ingredients until just combined, don't over-stir it or you'll get tough cornbread. Pan, bake ~20 minutes, or until golden on top and a toothpick in the middle comes out clean.

There's hardly any corn in your cornbread! I like Ab's recipe when I make it: Alton brown corn bread preheat 10" cast iron pan in oven at 425F combine in bowl: 2 eggs 1C buttermilk 1C creamed corn Combine in separate bowl 2 C coarse cornmeal 1t salt 1T sugar 2t baking powder ½t baking soda Add liquid to powder, adding extra buttermilk if mixture too dry and loosely whisk Add 2T oil to hot CI pan, pour in mixture, bake 20min until springy.

Only because their friends from the south says no sugar. AB is pretty 'south', Coca-Cola is pretty 'south', iced tea sweetened so much a pebble could float on it is pretty 'south'. Ergo nothing wrong with sugar in corn bread, and I live in the far, far, far, faaaarr south and I approve of it.

The sweet versus savory cornbread issue can be divisive. A nearby restaurant has some fantastic (sweet) cornbread. They put just enough jalapenos in it to spice it up a touch. Edit: My mom made pickled beets and eggs the last time she came to visit. Jesus, I love these things. Is that a Western PA thing? tetrapyloctomy fucked around with this message at 15:09 on Nov 20, 2018 |

Fo3 posted:Ha, that's lame...Plenty of regular flour breads have a tiny bit of sugar in them. Related side-note: What everyone calls pot pie is 100% not what I grew up with as pot pie. Pennsylvania Dutch pot pie isn't meat and vegetables in a crust, it's meat and noodles in a gravy. There appear to be warring factions in this subgroup as well, with some using eggs in the noodles and some not. My family was the latter. This looks close to my grandmother's recipe's final results; she always used ham instead of chicken. On cold winter days, it's the food I miss most from growing up, I think.

Mine was tight too. I see her again in 2 weeks, I suspect for similar treatment. My Taekwondo instructor who recommended this PT to me texted me this AM to ask how I felt. She knew exactly what I was in store for as she has had it done many times by her and has really helped with movement. She didn't tell me the process though. Probably best I found out on my own anyhow LOL.
