Alton Brown’s pretzel recipe uses a short dip in boiling water & baking soda, rather than having to bake your baking soda and then give it a long soak. Wondering how that would work here. High Temp + lower pH = same results?

Its simple.  When you’re a cop, your life literally depends on those other officers responding to a call and backing you up. If you don’t show loyalty, then maybe those responding officers coming to your call for backup don’t turn their lights on and don’t run any red lights getting there.  That’s what they’re all…

Don’t say nuts

You learn this in engineering school and your first few years out in the real world. No design is ever perfect. You have to decide on the priorities of the project, set achievable goals, and meet deadlines.

You see where she is standing, maybe 6 feet from the fence?  Yeah, there’s a deep trench right in front of her that’s mostly hidden by the landscaping.  The lion knows he can’t leap the gap.  

You know what this means?  With a good diver’s dry suit you can get into Disneyland Paris for free.  

I got the impression Snoke had laid the seeds of the Dark Side, but Ben had not acted on them yet. Making Luke’s reaction all the more tragic. Like, the worst Ben had been doing was hanging out with the wrong people (the future Knights of Wren). 

Just like people understand terms like “Business Casual”, “Black-Tie”, “Formal”, “Casual”, etc. People have an understanding of “Sunday Best” and would agree that those two people don’t even come close to the meaning.

Good advice. I would add “Look for someone in a uniform.” Store employees are usually trained to bring a lost kid to the Customer Service desk and have the parents paged. At the beach, my kids know to look for the nearest lifeguard stand.  Even the ride attendants at an amusement park are trained to deal with lost…

A sign that said “Sunday Best Required” would be more inclusive and clearly get the message across.

In the South, people want to be polite and start a conversation before asking for directions or advice. But, up north in the “big city”, just get to the point and move on.  People are busy. 

Alternative:. That's not makeup.  It's a mud mask skin treatment.  Can't tell if they're in a dorm room or what.  So, they all put on the mud mask and someone pulls out a camera and says, "hey, do that Black Panther thing." They do. The picture is immediately posted.   Whole thing took 30 seconds.  White privilege,…

This sure is loosely based on the books about Jack Ryan Jr. Which were written by other authors and Clancy just slapped his name on them.

This is exactly what theater is for. Re-imagining in every possible way.  There was a theater company that reimagined Shakespeare taking place in ancient African kingdoms.  This is what theater should be doing. 

Statistics you don’t hear.

Used to have a combination LJS and Nathan’s Hot Dogs attached to an arcade near me.  Until it got renovated and the place put in different food options. 

Do you have White Castle near you? They’ve been doing Impossible Sliders for about a year now.  

You’re actually proposing a more complex money laundering scheme as opposed to just handing over a piece of property.  That is a more sophisticated strategy.....

Why? A hydrogen fuel cell powering an electric motor and producing water as a byproduct is so efficient.  Once you get past the whole blowing up in an accident issue. 

And now I’m wondering if there’s a Maker Community around RV restoration and refitting. Buy someone’s 20 year old rat trap that was rotting in the driveway, strip it to the frame and rebuild it.
