Freaquency posted:I am sure that a rule that looks to ban gas stove starts with new construction and renovations, and would probably focus on multi tenant properties at first. They aren’t going to tell 330 million people to all go out and buy a new stove at once. Yeah no one is coming to steal your stove or tear up your house making an electric stove work, that's just manufactured outrage. This is more of a 'well by 2050 we hope most stoves will be electric and we won't be producing more of these for in-home cooking' type of thing.

BlindSite posted:These things are such a blight on my state we're famous for them. Our state of origin rugby league team is even named after them. We kind of have this weird cultural thing to kill them on site here, that's instilled in us as kids. So much so my grandad used to have an old bayonet fixed to a broom handle for just that purpose. The greenies tell us to catch them in plastic bags and put them in a freezer but I don't think that's how most of them meet their end. It was funny one day at the range there were at couple on the hill and no one on the firing line bothered with a paper target for the first little while. I'm curious as to how the preferred method of killing them is supposed to be kinder. It sounds a lot like 'I'll put you in a plastic bag and suffocate you, but if that doesn't work I'll freeze you to death.' Also looks like you'd need a lot of freezer space.

So far I'm having fun? (???) looking up all of the people and events that are randomly mentioned and moved away from that I knew a little but not a lot about [note: much of the further reading is not particularly fun]. There's just a lot there and it's a well documented period that's easy to look up further information online if you're a history dork.

Skwirl posted:I've been slowly reading through the Sharpe series of novels. It's kinda similar to the Master and Commander series in that it's historical military fiction during the Napoleonic Wars, but it focuses on a low born infantry Rifleman rising through the ranks, instead of ships. Late to this, these are all kinda sameish narratively but work well. Same author I noted writing historical fiction about the Vikings a long time back when AC: Valhalla came out. Like every book no matter what happened before our main character is broke or in some sort of trouble and manfully dominates everything in front of him eventually while being screwed over by everyone around him. I don't say this as a bad thing, it's good to me, I like it. Just that's the way they go. And you pick up stuff about how much it must have sucked to have your face and hands scarred by black powder blowing back into it and other stuff. He has one formula but I do like Bernard Cornwell.

Sad to have missed Catholicism chat as a general student and outside hater: I have no clue how true the posthumous book is or if it's being suppressed but...if it does exist and is translated to something I can read I'd read it. [translating it to something I could read and understand rather than have chanted at me is obviously not something Ratzinger would want by his record] I wouldn't like it, but I'd read it to see what the bitter old man who abdicated being the freaking Pope is complaining about.

So should I bake with a pan of water/ toss em the toaster oven or throw the Pattie’s in a skillet and toast up the buns? Each of these options works from what I can tell, steaming will give you softer buns, other options a little more toasted. They're fully cooked so really you're just warming them up in whatever way works for you. *-as a fan of the worst fast food in the world in general I really miss having a White House somewhere in the city.

I told my mom who likes to do puzzles about your thing with taking pictures of them and putting them up on your wall and she thought it was cool. Do you print them out on an office printer or use a service to do this? (neither of us have any color printers and this is my job to figure out now that I've gotten it into her head). Looking it up I guess something like Shutterstock would be the way to go? I'm not a printing physical pictures guy so I'm walking in blind here if you or anyone else tells me how to do this the cheapest and easiest way.

Tulalip Tulips posted:I normally take pictures of the ones I'm not putting up, just so I have a record of it. For ones that I'm actually putting up I get glue sheets/backing stuff instead. It's how I hosed up my last puzzel -- I was moving it so I could flip it over so I could put the backing on it and it slipped off the mat I was using. Generally speaking though, for other stuff I'll use Shutterstock since it's pretty easy. I do have a color printer at work but it's not made for nice stock paper. Oh god the glue sheets might be even harder to do and I'm afraid of mentioning this possibility. Thanks, I'll give Shutterstock a try for now and...probably tell her about that other idea because I'm weak and she really likes her puzzles. And then try to figure that out.
