Also, make the dish exactly to the recipe the first time, then use the recipe as a base to work from for subsequent dishes. Think about what you liked and didn't like about the dish, and what would make it better, then tweak the recipe a little to make it more to your taste, or even just to experiment a little to see…

One of the filters in my email client at home automatically junks any message to "undisclosed-recipients", and another junks anything that doesn't have my email address in either the 'To:', 'Cc:', or 'Bcc:' header lines. I figure that, as a first sweeping cut, if they can't be bothered to send the email to me as a…

From the Wikipedia page, Carver itself folded in 2009. In 2007, a US company, Venture Vehicles, announced that it had an exclusive license for the DVC technology behind the Carver-One in the US, and would be producing a line of vehicles based on it. After a 2008 name change to Persu Mobility, they continued to hold…

The man who can only put his pants on one leg at a time lacks the imagination to sit down before pulling them up his legs.

It's the "Oh, God, now everyone is going to think I'm a furry, and I can't run away screaming" expression.

Perhaps it's a highly localized tumor that just makes you intractable and less willing to compromise, and we're seeing the first widespread effects of this in Congress.

However, you'd never be able to tell that you can't accommodate the new arrivals, since it would take an infinite amount of time for all the existing occupants to move to their new rooms.

They have a minimum range of about 500 meters, but the maximum range is five miles. That''s "in the miles" by my book.

A case of the Navy looking at the other services and saying "They've all got digital-camouflage BDUs, we need our own" and coming up with a design that is utterly useless for the purpose of concealing personnel hiding in the environment (the uniform stands out nicely on a haze-grey warship) — that is, until they fall…

It's a component of MAD. A bomber on the ground can be destroyed, or the runway destroyed, before it can take off. A bomber in the air has to be found before you can try to shoot it down. Having planes in the air meant that even if some way had been discovered to take out the land-based ICBM silos, there would still…

That's what I did, and now they've got the Google Redirect Virus, and they're expecting me to clean it off his system.

"The ratio is currently 6 false stories to each true one."

Why go for a starter pistol? Just get yourself a Nerf gun and a can of metallic-grey spray paint, and you've got yourself a defensive-shooting-worthy assault rifle. After all, if it's good enough for Terra Nova, it's good enough for Halloween.

And, like so many other religious beliefs, you get 'true believers' and 'heretics'.

"It is time to remove politics and politicians from the equation."

"Post hoc, ergo propter hoc" is alive and well, and is the basis of the AGW alarmism.

It's also being discounted so heavily because Paint Shop Pro X4 has been released, and discounting it is a way to push old stock out the door to the people who aren't aware that it's an old version.

It doesn't matter which ear it's under, as long as the 'running' end of the noose (the side that passes straight up through the round turns to the anchor point the victim hangs from) passes around the front of the neck, so that as the noose constricts, it torques the victim's head around to break the neck by rotation.

Although I remember having a laugh about the identity of the corporation being revealed when you see the red-and-white checkerboard on the door to the computer, and the subsequent jokes about Purina Alien Chow.

Without going to the site, my first thought when I see 'vagicons' is some new, NSFW variety of Transformers... And I do not want to think about what would follow the call "Vagicons Assemble!"...
