No love for Duluth Trading? Really?

No love for Duluth Trading? Really?

In Brazil? So Portuguese. Try learning ‘sculpa*, nao possa dizire muita coisa’ (Sorry, I can’t say much), then trying to order in Portuguese and pointing at the menu at the same time.

Heading to ABQ? Don’t miss breakfast at the Cucina Azul. 

Ages ago (I was about 18-20) I was heading home on my motorcycle. I’d usually cut the engine and glide down the hill and into the driveway, as it was quieter (quiet motorcycles weren’t something you could ‘just buy’ before Honda came along).

I’m pretty sure we’re talking about different things. The technique I learned was a hold-over from WWII. No soda or beer in cans then. Those things came in returnable bottles, which once returned, got sterilized and reused. IMO, that’s still a better way to do it than recycling

Sounds useful.

Super common in NOLA to get crawfish with the heads on - and suck on the heads to get the good stuff out, not crunch down on the whole carapace.

You mean the thing with a screen across the nozzle?

As a kid growing up, I learned to flattten ‘tin’ cans (remove both ends with a can opener, put lids inside body, flatten. I learned this from my mom. I think it was the ‘best way’ to submit steel scrap for steel drives dufing WWII - and my parents kept doing it for another 50 years - and taught their kids.

No love for keyboards with Kailh low-profile switches? I have a Havit HV-KB390L (TKL with Kailh low profile blue switches). Feel is surprisingly similar to the old IBM M series kbds I have around. No louder than an M (but quiet-clicky rather than quiet-clattery, but low profile and TKL.

I did similar maybe 15-20 years ago. I eventually regained feeling in that spot, but it took a looooong time.

And I saw someone send Vichysoisse back because it ‘was cold’. Well, duh! It came on a bed of crushed ice.

Be damn careful with a mandoline. My issue with them is that if I cut myself, I cut my right hand, not my left (and I am right handed). Maybe get a cutproof glove as you are def gonna lose that food pusher thing, or be constantly tempted to skip using it as they’re IMO awkward to use.

I haven’t tried this but it looks like cela, c’est vrai de vrai (the real deal).

This is basically a front element on a flexible lightproof bellows, rear element attached to mount. Yes, tilt/shift is pretty cool, but you have to hold that front element in exactly the right place for focus/tilt/shift, watch the VF or backpanel to see that you’ve got and press the shutter.

Yes, it’s a small amount of desk real estate, but it’s right where you’d want your touchpad/mouse to be. If you need one, get a separate one, get your setup a bit more ergonomic (best to have your home row centered with the center of your monitor(s) )

Old tech guy here. The M keyboards were, essentially, a PC version of the 2370 terminal keyboards, minus the lights (a running app could light up particular keys, showing the user what input was acceptable). I had a series of M keyboards, until IBM stopped making them. Still think they’re great.

It’s a code, enter it when you checkout. There’s also a coupon. I tried using both - and they stack. $22 for two switches.

There’s a coupon you can clip (right on the page linked to from here). Drops the price 20%. Then enter the code at checkout - drops the price to $22.30.

Very rarely did I overcook\undercook anything and when I did, it was a more of an issue of me being distracted by doing something else, which a thermometer without a timer wouldn’t help with anyways.
