Hi there welcome thread. I'm B33rChiller. I've been reading this site for a long rear end time now, and registered for coming up on a decade. There are many corners of this site that I can't make heads or tails of, so I've mostly stuck to the places focused on my interests. TFR, BSS, PYF, some videogames, reading a lot of GWS and A/T it said on the tin that lurkers must post. I haven't lurked or posted much here, but I think I like this place.

Ok, will work on gathering evidence against the rowdy brothers, and their old step sibling. Wait, do I detail the crimes committed by my pets, or the crimes committed myself? Either way, I'm good to go. ETA minor confession: I chose my user name a long time before registering here, and it turns out to be a very poor choice, as I found out in more recent times that I am legit one of the few people who is actually harmed by gluten (celiac disease). Sadly, I was never able to safely consume beer. I may now only chill it for others. B33rChiller fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Nov 29, 2020

This is Lucille Johnson She does not suffer fools. at all. She only likes one being in the universe: Mrs. Chiller She barely tolerates me and my daughter. She does not tolerate other cats.  At the start of 2020, we thought it's been a couple years since our other cat passed. Maybe if we got a kitten, Lucy would get off her rear end and quit being so miserable. So we got us a kitty whose mama was a ragdoll mix (looks very ragdoll), and papa was a big ol' orange tabby. The house where he was born had young kids, and he got handled by kids frequently from an early age. This magnificent cuddle monster is Peter Parker  Unlike drat near every other cat I've ever heard of, this is actually not a trap. He loves his belly rubs. A toddler can slam their face right in that fuzzy belly, and he loves it. Well, Lucy sure was not happy with Petey constantly harassing her, so we scratched our heads, and came up with a grand idea: MOAR KATZ! Since Petey was such a great cat, we went back to the well, and picked up another kitten from the next litter. This is Charlie Parker  We nervously followed every bit of advice we could get on introducing cats, and crossed our fingers. At this point we were 0 for 2 introductions, with Lucy just hating every cat we put into her space. But, we had great success with the brothers.    These two are inseparable. In memoriam, This was Alexander Carlin:  He was my best friend Wanted for the following crimes (listed in descending age) B33rChiller: Smoking a weed prior to October 2018; hoarding vast quantities of pirated pornography Lucille Johnson: Being nasty towards, and hissing at everyone; bringing dead and living prey into the house Alexander Carlin: Deceased saint Peter Parker: Pooping on his human's t-shirt (blameless, as was accidentally locked in the bedroom) Charlie Parker: Waging an ongoing campaign against any and all X-mas decorations / spider plants.

Finger Prince posted:If you're ready to move on to the next level of "I hate this but it's worth it" chickpea making, add baking soda to the water and then rub the skins off and rinse them away. (it's not as easy as it sounds and all the tutorials make it look). But it makes for super creamy hummus! Thanks for the tip. sounds great I'll give a psa reminder in return I really started paying attention to picking through and thoroughly washing lentils when I found out I have a medically necessary dietary restriction. I read the back of the package, and it said may contain wheat. spread them out, and sure enough, in a kg of green lentils, there were two grains of wheat! come to find out later, that crops can be contaminated right from the growing stage due to voluntary plants. If there hasn't been enough time since wheat was grown in the field, occasional plants can just sprout and grow with whatever is now intentionally being grown. sneaky sneaky wheat. It's a big problem with oats too. But it wasn't just wheat I found in there. bits of grit and unknowable debris too. Everyone pick over and wash your legumes and pulses, even if you can eat anything generally edible.

How Wonderful! posted:Here's some other food news. When I first moved to Philly I lived l like a block away from what I thought was the coolest restaurant ever. I had just started in an MFA program and I lived with a guy who was also in it and almost every day we'd stop in this restaurant and drink beers and eat snacks and talk about books and big ideas and read each other's work and stuff. It was so perfect. Anyway then I moved across the city and that other part of town got mega expensive and we just never really went back much. The emphasized part had me worried about a surprise thin blue line flag or something similar at the end of the story. Super happy to be surprised to read a wholesome tale

Oregon secrects tip: Fort Stevens state park is home to the most potent hallucinogens in the wild on the planet.  The scienterrific fella who identified the species mentions recreational vehicles as an indicator species when searching for likely habitat. (they're dune mushrooms. If you're seen walking around the dunes, looking at the ground, the state troopers / park rangers / whoever has jurisdiction will know what you're up to, and you can expect to be searched)

Sometimes you get a miracle where someone like pharma bro ends up in front of a jury. Or sometimes other people that really need to be separated from society. In those cases, yeah, it probably is for the best, using what we have for a system, for people to sit on a jury and take it serious. If you could ask a question of the defendant, maybe ask how they came about the suit they're wearing in court. If they say they borrowed it, or their lawyer found it for them, or it was from a charity, just let them walk. If they say it's their own suit, pay attention during the trial, there's a chance it's someone who deserves to be there.

alnilam posted:the washer/dryer at my old house were super old and came with the house, when i moved to oregon i was worried i would never be able to find an old appliance again but instead i found some guy on craigslist whose whole business is buying pre-computerization washers and dryers (he gets them real cheap from the home depot people that haul away your old one when you buy a new one), fixing them up real nice, and reselling them. It was amazing how proud he was of these washers and dryers. Like literally brought our 90s washer over and slapped the hood and said "this baby was one of the first on the market with a shared transmission between the pump and the agitator... fixed up the clutch real nice." He also bypasses the door close switches since they break so often. This gets me thinking that in the future, and potentially right now, there could be a market for little drop in (or wire into a harness) micro controllers to replace the boards in newer machines. If the mechanicals still work, one could probably replicate whatever functionality fairly easily, even without any fancy pants reverse engineering or access to proprietary code. How pricey are micro controllers or things like raspberry pis?

Might need an additional bit of power supply circuitry too. Not sure if any of the electrics in my machine run off less than mains voltage, but it's an old top loader, which I've repaired a couple times myself already (drive coupling and agitator cogs, both under CDN$20 shipped to my door) eta: lol, the lid switch failed closed, so it doesn't stop when I open the lid, even at full blast spin. Fine by me, saves having to buy a replacement or bypass the switch.

Heather Papps posted:if all you eat is mcdonalds hamburgers your whole life you may think that certain menu items are really good food till the day you eat some truly good cuisine. It's not hard to learn to cook for yourself to a higher standard than the golden arches. Hell, these days there's instructional videos all over the internet. Home cooked meals for one should give you a baseline, from which you can get some idea of what kind of calibre entrees you're finding elsewhere yes, this is all a metaphor

If you're at the point that you're ready to walk, (and already having disputes with higher ups?), a sense of detachment, and having already mentally checked out can help add courage to confrontations. If I were in those shoes (and have been micromanaged severely in the past), and had more of a spine, I might say something like "Do you want a (insert job title here), or do you want a meat puppet? If it's the former, back off and let me do my job. If it's the latter, I won't be doing anything not directly instructed to, other than focus on making your life difficult. What's it going to be?" If you are in the position of not caring about holding the job anymore, and don't need a reference from that job, it might help to think of having already walked, and you're just getting paid to gently caress with the shitheads now. But don't take any of this as advice. I'm off work with a broke brain.

And if you don't have a tortilla I feel like the stuff to make a flour tortilla should be pretty universally available?
