One of the problems with any of the “trim off the irregular sides” of round items like carrots to make planks/brunoise/mirepoix is the amount of waste for home cooks. Restaurants often have the luxury of working with produce that is physically just much larger than you get at the grocery, and you wind up throwing much…

People are fans of DTS, not watching F1 real time, which often occurs at really inconvenient times for US time zones.

Oh they didn’t *bloom*... :)

Also worth knowing that the 220 - age is both generally mentioned as the typical max HR, but is also known as the least reliable formula.

This.  Last fall, my wife and I planted 750 bulbs in 4 hours using augers and spade bits.  If you have an impact drill, use it with the auger, which will generate more friction/resistance than the little spade bits.

Biggest bang for the buck: downloaded the form for a middle console tray insert and had it 3d printed at my local library for $1.60. It now keeps change, pens, gum handy.

Auto Stop/Start Eliminator. My Subaru lets me turn the feature off manually every time the car starts, but the auto-eliminator lets it retain the…

First line of the review:

Odd question, but a scenario that happened to me nearly 40 years ago. Drunk guy in a bar picked a fight with someone I didn’t know. I stepped in to calm things down and drunk guy started throwing punches pretty much at everyone in a 5 foot radius. I got a bloody nose and a black eye, gave him a bloody nose, and gave h…

I’d been running it over ice and then serving straight up, but realized I like it better negroni style - pour ingredients in a glass and put in one big ice cube.

Enjoy!

Palomas are ancient history. Tongue Twister’s are the summer bomb.

Those two things are exactly the same and you are superb at analogies.

“...when in reality the facts show this to be false.” Can you elaborate on this? What facts? ie, studies rather than assertions.

I’m no fan of current [edit: LEO] hiring practices, but pretending that the job is easy will never result in good solutions for the structural problems of policing.

“Should the 99% of people who don’t drive drunk...” Nope - 65%. https://www.valuepenguin.com/drinking-habits-survey.

Separate from that (and separate from any slippery slope arguments), what’s the actual argument? Would you feel legitimately put out with breathalizer/seatbelt lockouts? Like, in some way, would your…

If a job needs significant mental/psychological/physical qualifications or significant training, then it’s not easy. That’s a characteristic of the job, not the hires.

At a previous job, someone multiple pay grades above myself wrote “Anotherwards, ... [rephrasing of original statement]”

Please note The Skin Job’s comment above, correcting my bad assumption.

Worth noting that COVID deaths, in a group that was relentlessly anti-vaccine, were double the number of deaths from all other causes *combined* for active-duty law enforcement.

On the other hand, while it’s probably nowhere near the top 100 most dangerous jobs, I’d be inclined to say that it’s among the top 10 most…

Compare and contrast
- “....after everything I’ve been through, I’m still a huge believer...” to my parents generation’s “...F*** the Japanese, I’m a [GM/Ford/Chrysler/etc...] until I die.”

True, some of that was based on line workers getting discounts, but irrational brand loyalty to mediocre vehicles isn’t new.

Newish here - how do I get out of the greys?

Wrong on:
