Thanks for the racing game options. I am not investing in a wheel/pedal setup to play one game, so I'll be picking something lighter that I can play on a game pad of some sort. I do have windows 10, and I am interested in both street and rally type games so I'll do some investigating. The best source of Cod is wild caught Alaskan, and that is generally true of any fish available as wild caught from Alaska. Alaska has the best managed fishery in the world, bar none. For further reading, check out Monterey Bay Aquarium's fish guides: http://www.seafoodwatch.org/ They have an app and little printable wallet inserts you can bring with you to grocery stores to help pick out sustainable, responsible fish options and I encourage everyone to do that. In terms of impact on environment, farmed, freshwater vegetarian fish are good, and that includes farmed tilapia from certain countries, but also catfish. Farmed carniverous fish like salmon are pretty bad - the farming operations are making improvements but they're still pretty terrible both for the environment and for the wild fish populations, plus they feed them fishmeal so you're just converting mass-netted fish from depleted fisheries into farmed salmon etc. Line-caught fish are better than net-caught because line-caught radically reduces bycatch (unwanted fish that are caught along with the target species, which generally die too). And very bad are fishing methods involving dragging along the bottom, because those destroy habitat. That's just touching the surface though, read the fish guides on seafoodwatch for a lot more really good info and they keep it pretty up to date with ongoing technology.

BraveUlysses posted:sometimes i buy fresh but i'm on the best coast, otherwise i've had good luck buying frozen from kroger and costco. also, I prefer grilled. Soak your thawed codfish pieces in a mix of lime juice, a tablespoon or two of cooking oil, (smoked) paprika, a little salt, chili powder, cayenne, cumin, and (unless you have the gene that makes it taste like soap to you) cilantro. Give it maybe 30 to 60 minutes. Then get a nice hot grill or pan going and grill over high heat for just a minute or two per side, add to your warm fresh tortillas along with a spicy mayo sauce, some kind of vinegary coleslaw/pico de gallo type concoction, and if you're into it, maybe a slice of avocado.

I very much liked project cars for a sim to arcade level game. I've only played it with a wheel though. My room mates and I try to keep a drunk driving leader board for it in the house. Also grid autosport was fun for an arcade-sim game.

As a fan of destruction derby back in the 90s I thought wreckfest was a pretty fun car game - but I haven't played it for 6 months now so I don't know if they have fixed any of the annoying bugs. my new car has a trip hour counter in addition to a trip mileage counter. Why don't all cars have hour counters? Over the last 13 days I have spent 23.5 hours driving

As far as driving sims go, it's not a full game, but BeamNG Drive is a pretty fun car based thing. If nothing else it's fun just to smash the cars into each other or drag a wrecking ball into them. Or fire a cannon at them

Seminal Flu posted:Cod has never been on my radar... what's the best source? Cod is amazing, tasty, flaky, wonderful fish. You probably shouldn’t eat it. It’s not sustainable anymore, and (most) “sustainable” fishing methods aren’t. Cod grows very Slowly to get to market size (15 years plus) and the overfishing in the 70s and 80s off the coast of New England really stripped out the cod. It’ll be decades still before you can guilt free eat cod. If you’re really wanting to get some, Icelandic cod is the least bad. Remember too, “pacific cod” isn’t cod.

I'm not using an arduino for this project, I'm using the TI launchpad the class requires us to use, hence why I'm using the Ti software package. i could probably have used whatever IDE, but that's what the class instructions said to use so that's what I'm sticking with. I do own an arduino uno (rev1 or whatever you would call it), so I'll keep that in mind for that. That said.. I think I got this fucker doing what I want, finally.

No problem. We've been getting chicken from them for what seems like forever now. There is some work involved though, chicken is not is individually wrapped, so you gotta do that yourself. The breasts don't come split and still has lots of fat on them so we basically trim it down the way we want, package and freeze em up.

Don't use the Arduino software for anything. It's slow, terrible, ill-designed, and generally useless for anyone who has any knowledge or even interest in either hardware or software, beyond the people who just want to blink an LED so they can say that they did a computer.

It will probably depend on your area, how your prices run and whats available, but for us chicken is almost half the price compared to local grocery stores so it's a no brainer. BUT their steak prices are right around par with Publix so we haven't ever ordered steaks from them as of yet. They just recently added Beef Tenderloin to their list and it's super tempting, would love to grill an entire beef tenderloin to medium rare and gobble that poo poo up

beep-beep car is go posted:Cod is amazing, tasty, flaky, wonderful fish. From seafoodwatch: http://www.seafoodwatch.org/seafood-recommendations/groups/cod/overview?q=Cod&t=cod quote:About Cod There are nine green "best choice" options for cod, and they are all pacific cod save the first, which is atlantic cod from recirculating aquaculture systems. Both types are referred to as "true cod". All of the pacific cod Best Choices are from Alaska. quote:Pacific cod caught in Alaska is a "Best Choice" because the population is healthy. Also, there are no major concerns with bycatch of other species or with the effectiveness of management. Here is the full report (PDF) on Alaskan pacific cod. I think it's safe to say that alaskan fish is "guilt free" to the extent that eating any wild caught fish can be guilt free. The Alaskan fisheries in general are considered the best-managed in the world, and they are now as far as we can tell, sustainable. Also, pacific cod is Gadus macrocephalus; all four of the members of the Gadus genus are cod, although G. chalcogrammus is called "alaskan pollock" and was only reclassified as a member of Gadus, and G. ogac (Greenland cod) is now considered a subspecies of G. macrocephalus. There are a bunch of other fish in the family Gadidae that are called "cod" too, and it's not really wrong to refer to them as that just because their scientific classification has been shuffled around. It is correct to call pacific cod a true cod. Leperflesh fucked around with this message at 06:17 on Jul 29, 2017 |

Let's see... got pretty nasty heat exhaustion halfway through my shift for amazon. I drank over 3 gallons of water through the day, and only pissed once. Yikes. Tried to get ahold of a good friend in the town I was in to see if I could go hang out at her place and cool off a bit, never heard back. Adulted and finally got my own washer and dryer. They're beat up, but work fine, and not that old for something like that (06 and 07, Whirlpool). And hey, $100 for the set. Had to buy the right cord for the dryer. No biggie, just kind of a surprise since the seller included both a 3 and 4 prong cord set. Fired it up. Rats nest flies out of the vent. Well, the guy did say it'd been sitting awhile. Unhooked the hose and ran it for a bit on air dry while rocking it a bit to try and shake everything out. Then saw water coming out from under the baseboard. Took a closer look. The plumbing box is cracked. Touched the wall under it (very gently, as in just trying to see if it felt damp), and my hand went through the wall. That's bad, right? Turned off the valves.. or tried. They're still dripping pretty good around the stems.  I can turn off the hot water supply at my hot water heater, but can't turn off the cold water supply (and natch, it's the cold side that's really pissing). Called 24 hour emergency maint 3 times, starting at midnight, haven't heard a drat thing.Wonder how many  My hate level is a bit high right now. edit: huh, so if I crank the valves open as far as they can go, then give em an extra gutentite twist, the hot side doesn't leak at all, and the cold side is just the slightest bit damp (no visible leaking, so it may just be whatever hasn't evaporated yet). I feel a bit extra special after realizing that. Packing washer/nut still needs some love eventually, but at least I can actually do laundry without worrying about water damage now. I was worried about opening them all the way, worrying that they'd go from spraying around the shaft to full on geyser (I have no idea where the shutoff is for the building...) randomidiot fucked around with this message at 11:57 on Jul 29, 2017 |

Yeah, seems like the shaft seals. My garden tap is like that. Slightly open and leaks around the shaft, fully hard open, the brass on brass seal is good enough to stop leaks. Though look forward to water hammer if your building is susceptible to that. I can't have my washing machine taps fully open due to that.

I love Halibut. It's about the only meat other than beef that I could probably eat every day. A buddy of mine did a fishing trip on the best coast and caught a few of them over the course of a week. Once cleaned and filleted, they were these beautiful massive pieces of fish which were fed-exed home. Each was easily worth many hundreds of dollars. We got half of one as a gift. It was heavenly and possibly to this day the best fish I have ever eaten in my life. About 1 week later his wife accidentally unplugged the deepfreeze and didn't realize it for a couple days. All gone, only ate maybe 10% of it before this happened, the rest spoiled
