Also, why do we have to be ungreyed from each individual Gawker subsite? I’m ungrayed on Lifehacker and Skillet at least.

Wheat gluten is the key to a good veggie burger. I make mine with minced mushrooms and spices with gluten to bind it together.

Yup. I don’t want to read a long winded email, so I don’t send them either. Even if a coworker is an actual friend, and not just a friendly coworker, my professional emails are short and precise. We can have a conversation in a different forum.

I haven’t needed to, so I don’t know, but can it not be reset over wifi? You can do that with a Chromecast, so it doesn’t seem like a stretch.

Cool, thanks for the clarification.

For us, at least, it’s more like, ‘this is a thing you’ve wanted for a while, but haven’t pulled the trigger on, would you like me to do it?’ or ‘should we buy a vacation instead of gifts?’

Any chance the VLC Chromecast support does on the fly encoding? I use AllCast a lot because I don’t HAVE to have H264 w/ AAC to stream like I would with the plain old Android Gallery app.

So... does not having tonsils help at all like it does with strep?

Alternatively, discuss with each other what you’d like, or get a shared gift. Surprises can be fun, but only if you actually know the other wants what you’re planning to surprise them with.

We have a joint account for shared bills and activities together, but we still have our paychecks deposited into our personal accounts, and then contribute an agreed upon amount to the joint each month. However, we’ve also been together for 12 years, so there’s a lot of trust.

Clutter is the hardest part for me cooking in other’s kitchens. I keep my counters clear, so when I go to say, my mom’s, I feel like I have to start by organizing the counters.

I don’t like people using my knives, not because I think they can really do any serious damage in one session (I do keep my high carbon knife to myself), but because most people aren’t used to how sharp they are, and they have terrible form.

Muhahahaha... another convert. I keep my work knives and house knives sharp. But my girlfriend is in your boat now, she can’t use other people’s knives. She’ll take one of ours if she has to cook somewhere else.

I figured at least one of the ‘save a life’ arguments would be that stuffing that has been stuffed inside the turkey must be cooked to 165, which will take much longer than the rest of the bird.

I’m not like, ugh chores, but I do recognize I’d rather do certain chores at certain times of the day or week.

Any advice from the insanely wealthy needs to be taken with a grain of salt. It’s just survivorship bias; their ‘revolutionary’ ideas were more likely to fail than succeeded, most of the time, it’s just luck. Right place, right time, right contacts, right finances, right family...

If I’m going through the trouble of making a sauce, I usually go for a Greek sauce. Beef, lamb, onions, red wine, tomatoes, oregano, cinnamon, touch of salt and sugar to balance everything out.

I was just nitpicking that example. it’s not really analogous, the kid will be there in the future.

“I have to teach him how to do the job, thus making more work for myself than if he had just left me alone”

I do this, though I just have a regular jar funnel; it’s plenty wide for the chunkiest foods, but fits both wide and regular mouth jars.
