No, my point is that I object to the idea that Jackie's friends are disputing her version of what happened rather than disputing Erdely's writing of Jackie's story. Johnson is a nitwit who should disappear.

Yes, I was objecting to the sentence in the post where the author writes that Jackie's friends "dispute several of her claims." I wasn't objecting at all to the idea that Johnson is a jackass who needs to shut the fuck up.

The other students at UVA dispute Erdely's characterization of Jackie's claims. It's pretty hard to tell precisely what Jackie told Erdely at this point and in what context.

When I split with my partner we had 3 dogs, but one had been her's for 13 years at that point and the other two we had gotten together about 6 months into the 3 years we were together. When we split, we weren't splitting up the dogs and clearly the oldest was staying with her. It wrecked me for a while.

First car was the white '88 RX7 GXL. Bought it from the woman I was with at the time after we split up (we stayed friends). Her new boyfriend had '89 RX7, coincidentally and they decided they only needed one, he argued they should sell her's as his was a year newer. She said cool, but he had to sell it. That went on…

The KDL30ARC discount code using Amazon Visa works even if you don't pay for the whole amount on it, it seems. Or, at least, I used an Amazon Gift Card balance to pay for all but $30 of it and it still gave me the $30 discount on the whole thing.

Yep....so long as there're bones and water you'll end up with something useful. It might not be something you'd want to use straight as soup broth, but it'll work for sauces or even as the basis to make another stock.

Yes! Do this. Other things to remember: if it's cold enough outside, you can set the whole pot outside when you go to bed, depending on animals. (I have, in the past, used a belt to attach the lid firmly to the pot.) If you don't have freezer space for your stock, you can reboil it in a few days and then re-chill and…

Gravy. I'm a very good cook, pretty much all of Thanksgiving turns out well, but the thing I'm really, really good at is sauces, particularly Thanksgiving gravy. It starts from a roasted turkey carcass with tons of fresh herbs and onions/celery that I get from a friend who teaches a cooking class. His class ends the…

The concern is not unevenness across various pieces of potato, it's unevenness _in_ a piece of potato.

If you don't get the potatoes sliced thinly enough, covering (for, say, half an hour) will help them cook in an amount of time short enough that you won't gnaw off your own hand while waiting for the dish to be ready.

The potato starch thickens everything up nicely as it cooks.

In which case they should really come in pound bags like Skittles. Probably should taste like Skittles, too, for that matter.

No, they didn't ask. I learned about it the course of doing research about what the legal requirements were when we first got the apartment set up. We bought our house in part because we were able to do minor rennovations to turn our basement level into an up-to-code one bedroom apartment. If we weren't able to rent…

I've been a landlord for 6 years now and I work really hard to stay well within all of the laws governing renting. For one thing, it makes decisions much easier to make and for another, it helps keep things from getting personal when things inevitably come up.

Oh....eggplant rollatini. Such memories of the pizza joint I worked at in college. That was the singular hidden thing on the menu....in every other respect the place was just a cheap college town pizza and sub place (though delicious and freshly made). But the melenzane rollatini brought Martha back to the kitchen…

The whole point of thanksgiving is leftovers. Everything keeps. Just make it, cool it, refrigerate it and heat it up gently. Stuffing, potatoes of any kind, green beans, peas and pearl onions, brussles sprouts.....all of it.

Yep, this is what we do. Both my wife and I have the highest level on the Marriott rewards thing and we are often able to get upgraded to the Concierge Level (they call it). One thing to note is that they're almost always closed most of the time on weekends. Sometimes you can still go for what is (normally) a quiet…

Yeah, I'd imagine you'd want to have the tray before sizing the crate itself. Could put something non-skid like a yoga mat or tub/shower mat under the tray, too.

If you already have a crate you could probably use the plastic tray from the bottom of the crate in the bottom of the one you make. Or just get a replacement tray.
