New Amsterdam makes a great G&T when you have a good quality craft tonic you don’t want the gin to step on.

It depends on if you like B-movies that obviously don’t take things too seriously and make obvious plays at being as “B” as possible. I liked it, but I also liked “Rubber”, so take that as you will.

Try their Rifftrack Live stuff, their Live format gets rid of some of the disconnect. When I’m buying their stuff, I always go for the Live version over the studio version, if available.

Why are there rules against this but there are apparently no rules regarding the minimum pulse-width for powering LED’s. Some Cadillac LED tail lights, for instance, have a slow enough pulse-width on their dim mode (headlights on, brakes off) that, to someone like me with eyes sensitive to that sort of thing, it…

I discovered that bringing the equalization back to flat levels rather than my usual settings for classical seemed to take the rattle out, but still some of the low tones are somehow disconcerting to my ears. Not sure if it is a function of the headphone or the music itself.

Just a little heads-up for anyone looking for this on the iTunes Music Store... the iTunes version seems to have some strange sub-bass frequencies that my headphones (eskuché Control v2 as well as JVC HA-NC250) just don’t want to handle and this results in a rather jarring rattling sound instead of what I’m sure the…

Soooooo, that little toy is why I’ve never heard of this person, huh?

All that’s left is for Flash to finally go gently into that good night.

What I find funny is that one way I was told to kill stink bugs when we had an invasion in our area a couple of years ago is soapy water (it’s one of the few things that can penetrate their ‘armor’). Somehow, I’m thinking there probably isn’t a lot of soap among the Burning Man participants.

Ummm:

My wife has always been the type who is happy to find a chef who will send out a blue steak. Me? I grew up in a well-done household.

Some duck dishes are served medium-rare bordering on rare. My wife had a wonderful rare-to-medium-rare duck breast a couple weeks ago at an upscale restaurant we visited while traveling. Not sure how that might work out in an immunocompromised person.

Far too many coders don’t analyze necessity. I hate to be that guy who posts an xkcd, but here it is:

Then you have the sites (including one national bank I can think of) that allow only CERTAIN special characters. How ridiculous is that?

I prefer my dishes be bussed as soon as possible... I am quite clumsy and the longer a plate sits in front of me with sauce remnants, the more likely I am to find some way to either get my sleeve in it or flip a fork halfway across the restaurant because of errant gesturing.

I’ve used a pipe wrench many times (I particularly like using one for tensioners).

Looks like the work of a Mechanical Engineering graduate.

Ours likes to pull a potato out of the potato bin and roll it around the house.

Wow, and I’ve been just pronouncing it “Pee En Gee” for a decade.
