Probably not. Slow cookers and rice cookers have very simple thermostats. Bread machines, not so simple. I think you'd be happier with a rice cooker or slow cooker.

The rice cooker has the advantage that it slams out more BTU's, so it will get to cooking temperature more quickly. Rice cookers are designed to get HOT and stay hot until the liquid boils off.

Vegans and vegetarians who go into a bbq joint and ask for vegan/vegetarian options make me want to go into a vegan or vegetarian restaurant and ask for a steak.

All the automated applicant tracking systems I've seen offer a way to send all the people who weren't hired a form email. "Sorry, we picked someone else." Many companies don't use that function because they've seen all sorts of movies that feature stalkers. They are afraid of getting phone calls, "WHY NOT ME…

The Norton Editor, mid 1980's. About 1985 or '86 I think.

Is Sprint the worst carrier, or just a very bad carrier? If this sounds attractive, check with friends and coworkers in your area, ask what carrier they are using and if they are happy. Ask about coverage and dropped calls.

What do you suggest for higher altitudes? When I lived in the mountains of Colorado at 7,700 feet above sea level water boiled at 195F. Even with preheating the kettle, you're going to be way below the desired temperature range.

Actually, you assume too little. I am excited by good books I've read, by good bottles of wine I've drunk - and brewed, by photographs I've seen and taken, by movies. I am excited about building web pages and blogs. Starting new businesses excites me. Training dogs excites me, though I have a feeling you'll…

And I'd be happy to see you leave. If you're so uptight you can't talk about what excites you, what breathes life into your body, well.... there are bound to be more interesting people to talk to at the gathering.

That hit the nail on the head!

All generalizations are suspect. Including this one.

The site that is touting the idea that hiring managers are impressed by online resumes/personal websites also sells a service that allows you have a personal website with a resume on it.

A friend was teaching a creative writing class. When a number had trouble thinking of anything to write about, he gave each person in class a piece of chewing gum with the instructions to "pick someone on campus and give them the piece of gum, say, 'This is a gift form me to you', and write about what happened next."…

OK, so I've scanned my credit/debit cards into my phone.

A classic battle between corporate giants who want you to do it their way and yuppie entitlement (or left over hippie rebelliousness).

One other excellent option is from Jeffrey Steningarten in his wonderful book, "The man who ate everything". Cooks Illustrated has picked up on it also. And, before we go on, Cooks Illustrated reported the fries pick up less oil than double fried fries.

I'm as obsessive about my audio as the next person, but most of the time it really doesn't matter. Yeah, the stuff that the recording engineer had intended for you to hear in your right ear will be heard in your left. And the stuff intended for your left year will be heard in your right.

May is a fairly strong word here. I'm not sure what you have, but domestic high speed internet in the US ranges from 5mbps DSL to 50 to 100mbps FIOS. Cat 5 can handle 100mbps, so even putting cat5 between your switch or hub and your cable modem won't impact your LAN to Internet speeds.

It really isn't clear how you're cooking the meat in question. If you are cooking it in an oven, there is a good chance your oven temperature is off. If we're talking oven, get an oven thermometer and check the oven temp.

Yes. Not a lot, but it adds up.
