I was kind of excited to see that, too (I know - bad, right?) and felt some relief. I normally eat four scrambled eggs with bacon bits (real, not Facos) and sharp cheddar every other morning. My wife was concerned until our physical exams last year when my cholestorol was normal, and hers was unfortunately high…

The one dish that I’ve always wanted to attempt (just because Gordon Ramsey makes it look SO delicious and because it’s a challenge) is Beef Wellington. Water-bathing is the best technique anyone could have brought to the table to make this dish oh-so-more possible. I no longer fear and question the royal cuisine.

To eat. I’m not sure why, but since I was a kid, the only part of the egg that I truly like is the yolk. Full of flavor and other stuff, unfortunately for some - cholesterol.

And most people wonder why some want to live off the grid.

What’s even more sad (or not) is that the last ‘social media’ site that I actually had a ‘web page’ (brace yourself kids, this is old-school) was Geocities. Those were the days - just your own creation made from HTML and gifs. Javascript optional, but sometimes dazzling.

I totally agree. I just hate being lumped in with the ‘stupid’.

I agree, this does happen with many employers especially with salary positions (which I currently hold), and I commend you for trying to bring attention to it. Thank you for the info.

IT Support person here. The only social media presence I have is LinkedIn. I don’t hate other platforms, but the activity that goes in with FB, Twitter, Instagram, etc. It’s like a bunch middle school kids that get all giddy about their latest ‘awesome selfies’. I almost feel like I’m unsulting middle school-aged…

Like most places of employment today, I’m guessing you are a member of a union. I’m not saying that’s bad, I’ve been a member of a union and quite happy with the support it gave to myself and fellow colleagues. I completely understand that your time is your time unless paid and being profoundly early is a contract…

The Monty Python reference alone is worth the star!

You got a laugh from me. :)

I’m not an expert, but if you are both right, then yes - this would be a good idea in a pinch for temporary use only....as if you were in an emergency situation. It’s still good knowledge to have in case someone is in need of emergency water, just not on a regular basis.

I agree. Not that many people would have a contraption like this handy at any time, but if you can whip something up like this up in a jif, distilling the water is the better alternative to drinking the water blindly and hoping Montezuma doesn’t visit you.

I’m the same way. Mushy bananas are for making bread or if you have no teeth. For me, the taste is even better with slightly greenish bananas, not just the texture.

Always the best idea in my little world.

IOBit Unlocker (if that’s the one you’re referring too) has been a life saver for me on quite a few occasions with the normal Windows apps issues. Don’t use it hardly at all anymore with Windows 10, but it is handy to have, especially when fixing friends/family’s computers.

Living alone has its perks, and one of them is that I was able to chow down on this leg over the sink, juices dripping down my face like some sort of starving T-rex.

Seconded.

Science has come a long way since the days of pickling and salting, and I do agree preservatives play a key role in the food supply for humans. For most people, this seems to be just fine. I think the reason that preservatives get a bad rap is because a portion of the world’s population has allergies or side effects…

One thing I’ve only seen rare mention of is that changes in diet need to be permanent lifestyle changes. There is *SO* much research and so many new studies that are constantly being released that many people have a hard time deciding which is the best. Everyone’s different, and tweaks here and there will be…
