From what I remember from the Millersport Sweet Corn Festival, they filled a huge wire basket with clean corn on the cob, dunk that into a big boiling vat of water until done, pull the basket out, and let the water drain back into the vat, and then dunk the drained basket into another vat of melted butter.

Yep. Exactly what I was thinking. Time to make a VM of it tonight/tomorrow (since it'll be 11PM when it's available my time. :-p)

How about getting threads a bit finer? I don't think you can buy a computer that doesn't have at least two cores now. Yes, it might be at the expense of older equipment, but still, we've had HT for how long, at least? Better use of cores (especially when you're looking at 8+ in some instances...)

FireFTP. I have it installed with my installation of Firefox as well as my portable version. Programatically I use the default command line ftp.exe, although I have the sites I usually use available under Explorer as well.

Same here. It would be nice to at least even know that something is dialing home.

Too bad Google is freaking out on me right now. Trying to save in my Documents, I get a 404. If I try to save the sheet, I'm in a redirect from hell, which Firefox catches, but Chrome just continues to churn away on.

It used to be that I could buy any gallon of milk, even one expiring in two days, and it would be gone before the expiration date. Now that the kids are gone, not so much. Now we're buying half gallon jugs, and we're good if it's gone before it goes sour, which is what I base my "is it good, or is it bad" decision…

Yep, I was going to point that out #corrections

Except that if you look at the actuarial reasons we're living longer, if you make it to 55, you're not really living that much longer today than you were 50 years or even 100 years ago.

@blackeyedgurl: Yeah, even the scar on one finger was completely missing/flat. But I haven't had it happen to me in decades now.

Nobody else got it, and the doctor said it wasn't infectious. Although I still don't know to this day that the doctor was right. It was very weird.

Is anybody else noticing that even in the VIP feed, Gawker is now chopping out 3/4 of the post?

When I was a teenager, my fingers would peel, and I would have no fingerprints. According to the doctor, it was a fungus infection, there was nothing I could do about it. Every year for five years after that, I'd be fingerprintless. But I have them now. Who knows.

I guess it depends on what you grew up with, but I find grass fed beef to not have the taste of the grain fed that I was raised on.

There's the Start Google Plus extension, but I haven't found it yet. They mention it, but they don't put a link up?

Thanks. I missed that the first time around.

I want a retractable one. I suppose buying a few of those mini to micro adapters might be the way to go actually. But this way you can't lose the adapter.

My name use to point to my blog as the first result in Google. Then that damn baseball pitching coach had to get in the way. Now, he's below me, and it's that pitcher from the Reds that beats me. I have my handle/login name, but I also own bytehead.org, so that's not really anonymous.

FB only posts the subject of the email using the mobile address. I've even tried to leave a blank subject just to see if I could get it to post the body instead. FB ignored it.
