You are 100% right. I was typing on my phone and wasn’t paying close enough attention. Thanks for catching that.

He cannot go *anywhere* else. There is an extradition order out for him, so anywhere that has an extradition treaty with the US may try to extradite him. I believe he is a French citizen, and the extradition treaty with France say they don’t have to extradite their own citizens. A couple years ago he left France and…

Because it’s an airplane crossing international boundaries, there’s probably very little they would be able to win in court. They may be able to threaten a lawsuit against United and shame some money out of them, but there’s not much they’d be able to win in court. The passenger’s conduct doesn’t rise to the level…

The women in the case are claiming a civil rights violation. Don’t federal courts have the right to review if there’s a civil rights claim?

Does anyone even know how the government would extricate itself from existing consent decrees? Where I live in Seattle, the police department has entered into a consent decree that is under the oversight of a federal judge. Wouldn’t the judge have to agree that the decree has been met before either side withdraws it?…

I’m still back on 10.1 because I heard all the battery issues with 10.2 were pretty bad. Does anyone know if those have been corrected just yet?

If you decide to do the corned beef and cabbage, there’s a couple things to keep in mind. First, when you cook corned beef the traditional way it’s going to simmer in water and lose some of its salt content back into the water (Is this osmosis or diffusion? I can’t remember). When you do it sous vide, the salt loss…

To give more red meat to the conspiracy theorists, McCloughlin and Brewer definitely knew each other when McCloughlin was with the Seahawks and Brewer was writing for the Seattle Times.

Get your thumbtacks and red twine out!

That’s not actually relevant. If he did use it to promote his work at The Post, that doesn’t change anything because The Post doesn’t own that account. In most states he could be fired for that tweet even if he never posted a single thing about his work at the Post. The only thing that is germane here is the…

In my opinion, the triangle fold is great for dumplings you plan on pan frying because the increase in flat surface area really helps you to get a good, crusty bottom.

Gotcha. I’d love to hear how the next one comes out if you do end up trying it.

I think where you use the words “impact texture” I would use the word “overcooked.” Just because it can’t rise above a particular temperature doesn’t mean that over exposure to temperature won’t affect the quality of the final product by giving an unpleasant texture, flavor, or dryness. No matter what the medium, I…

When you butchered the bird, why did you think it would take the same amount of time at 150 degrees, given the fact you exposed more surface area? I think it came out worse the second time because you overcooked the bird. Just because you have a constant temperature in the water doesn’t mean that you can’t overcook…

I suggested this last time but I really want do find out about long-cook beef & veal stocks.

I have bad news. 2016 got someone on the way out...

What about something like stocks? I’ll do chicken stock at home because it only takes a couple hours of cooking, but, for something like a proper beef or a veal stock with good extraction, it can take hours. I’ve wondered if sous vide could be a hack for this. If it is, it can open the door to things like…

When breath Becomes Air, by Paul Kalanithi (on 9 lists)

Lemon juice and salting your veggies properly offers a similar effect, but won’t burn like the mustard grains will if you’re roasting veggies at a high heat (which you should be).

I admit to not watching the video because that’s something I just don’t need to hear. But he knows he’s being recorded and still doing this shit, and the doesn’t do anything about the recording?

Legal question for anyone who might be educated in such matters...

It’s my understanding that California is a “two-party consent state” when it comes to audio recordings. I would assume that this recording was made without McDondald’s knowledge, so how can it be used in legal proceedings?
