nm posted:I am not certain there is a single native Californian who hates avocados. I didn't know hating them was even possible. Yeah for real, I eat avocado straight out of the skin with some lime/lemon juice and salt. Granted we get amazing avocado here, and when a 'cado is bad it's terrible. You have fondle a lot of them in the store to get the feeling for when they're just right. An ex's family hated guacamole because they were all picky eaters and didn't like the texture - I made them a bowl of my custom recipe and they ate the whole drat thing in an evening. My secret was that I threw in some finely-diced celery... you can't see or taste it, but it gives enough crispy texture. I have successfully done it with other texture-averse people since then.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Some people here would probably gag at the thought of sashimi. Yeah if I find a good sashimi place I won't stop ordering until my stomach lining is about to burst, cost be damned. I have pretty good self-control when it comes to eating but that is my weakness. gently caress sashimi is awesome! The best steak I ever cooked was miles out into the California desert - my buddy and I had done a 10-mile hike that day, and I had a nice steak & vegetable dinner planned. I was stoked; the night before we had discovered that the aged Desert Ironwood snags our camp was surrounded with burnt cleaner and hotter than any wood we'd ever encountered. Years of sitting in blinding desert heat had removed every single bit of moisture and it was just amazing firewood - I was excited to cook over it. I got a huge fire going and stoked it until I had an amazing bed of coals, and went to get the grill from the jeep. I left the grill at home. In a half-drunken panic I went out with a flashlight and searched around until I found the perfect flat slab of ~3" rock. I put that motherfucker directly on the coal bed, slapped the steak on it, and once it hit rare we started cutting thin slices off and eating them straight off the rock while sipping bourbon. It was perfectly seared, holy gently caress.

TV series, but if you haven't watched Narcos yet it is basically 1970/80s 4x4 porn most episodes. Great show even if you're not into that sort of thing.

scrubs season six posted:Get her a Pentax K1000 and tell her that any good photography class includes developing and printing your own pictures. Applebees Appetizer posted:That's a total waste of time unless you plan on using large format for fine art photography. That's largely true, but there's something about actually working with film and learning what the terminology really means outside of an Adobe menu that is incredibly useful, satisfying, and can help with more intuitively navigating Photoshop/Lightroom. *realizes his Photo 101 B&W class was over 10 years ago* Nevermind, I'm now grandpa talking about how he made and used a REAL dodge/burn tool

I've never done it, but it's on the to-do/bucket list I maintain with a good friend http://kybourbontrail.com/map/ We once did ten wineries in a single day by carefully planning open/close times, so I feel that we are prepared.

Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:Yeah if it had blacked out windows and was on the highway with that setup, you can pretty much count on that being a cop or parking enforcement or something along those lines - I know the city my parents live in have a few cars with the same setup, and they claim they use it to catch stolen vehicles. I've seen cops use some weird as hell unmarked vehicles... I've been stopped by an 80s Aerostar (in the 2000s) that was more bare metal than paint before (blacked out windows and red/blues behind them, and a uniformed officer that I'd seen before). I'm work-friends with a couple of the local PD guys. They have four 2010ish Altimas they use for undercover/sting work, all limo-tinted but different colors. Apparently they were staking out a stolen car parked on a street, waiting for someone to come pick it up. They had four officers in the Altimas parked within eyesight, covering the different exits. Around 3AM a car comes creeping down the street real slow, with the windows down. They watched the driver look at each of the four Altimas with great interest, then drive casually away.

Ferremit posted:The Evga 770 GTX superclocked 4gb GPU still holds it own but BF1 constantly bitches about frame rates. I have a GTX970/i5 6600k and for the first month or so BF1 bitched about frames constantly. It took a few driver updates and some tweaking to get it smooth; what helped a lot was editing some (iirc) .ini/config file to limit frames to ~60, and then increasing that number by 10 or so until it started getting bitchy again. Something about the CPU and GPU trying to render max frames all the time and struggling to do so. I've kind of already forgotten the reading I did, but I recall the number of CPU cores active/percentage being used had as big an effect as the GPU.

The Door Frame posted:I took my girlfriend to a gas station to refill her flat tire and half way through filling she pressed the flashing button that switched on the vacuum and disabled the air compressor As far as I can tell it varies a lot by region and I have never been able to find a straight answer on actual legality, but at least here in California I just walk in and ask the attendant to turn on the air compressor. They haven't said no yet. After having to do that three times in a row once refilling aired-down tires after offroading, I felt like an rear end in a top hat and installed onboard air.

scrubs season six posted:Yeah that's exactly what I'm looking for. I've got a little cheeseball one that I use to air up the tires on my Honda when they're 4 psi low but I want something that isn't going to get overheated going from 15 to 35 psi on a 35" tire. IIRC the 88p is supposedly "good" up to 33" tires (takes my 31x10.5 from 15psi to 32psi in 1min40sec). Most likely totally fine for airing up a low 35" every so often. If you're regularly deflating/reinflating for offroading or the like, you'll probably want something bigger i.e. Viair 300p.

We have a couple of those trees at work, imported to California somewhere along the line. Those cones make a truly impressive thud when they hit ground, which of course causes people to come running underneath the tree to see what happened. I get nervous whenever I see that!
