Park City, Utah - although there were meters that could accept card or cash available, none worked. App was the only functional way to pay. This was 3-4 years ago, not during ski season but getting close to it (October or November).

If you’re making for family, poach the eggs in the shell with an immersion circulator as used for sous vide. The whites will not be quite as perfect, but the taste and texture are there, and you can store the cooked eggs (I forget the temp

Why? A cheap probe ultrasonic mixer is $500 on Amazon, small, and would take forever. An immersion blender is $17 at Walmart and does it in seconds for a half-liter of mayo or hollandaise. If you need more than 500 mL of mayo but can’t just

Surrounded by a bunch of stuff that isn’t the ovum. “There is at most one cell in an unfertilized bird egg” is not the same as “an unfertilized bird egg is one cell and nothing more”.

(Not the person you're replying to.) The original sauce is, in fact, a pain to make. However, it's not the 17th century any more. You can, with an immersion blender (which is not a particularly obscure piece of kitchen hardware)

Yes, NY has similar policies. Many of us do not have that option.

Assuming you have a public library that offers these things, of course. Much like people talking about how great Libby is; you can get it through my library, but the selection is extremely limited. And very few libraries offer a good set

Letter to MP: one letter to MP, nothing to show for it. Complain on blog: several letters to MPs of different districts, all of whom can now say that their constituents are writing to them and complaining about the same thing. I don’t know

I'll unjinx you by replying to you instead: I'm aware of and like it, but prefer TRON. De gustibus non est disputandum.

Made more or less this point at the time. As a movie? Eh, it was fine. As a Daft Punk music video? Easily their best.

Note that it doesn’t dry out; it polymerizes, and the reaction is catalyzed by water, which is why cyanoacrylate glues will stick your fingertips together instantly but will not as rapidly stick plastics or metals together.

The Roman Catholic Church has a lot of things wrong with it, now and in the past, but it’s a human institution older than almost any other, and it’s composed of a lot of very intelligent people. Agree or disagree with them, but a papal enc

Yes, the OS is locked. I misunderstood the point of your statement. But all you are losing is the ability to use the Amazon store and borrowing that requires DRM. It still works fine as an e-Ink reader. Anecdotally, the OSes on the really o

The device isn’t locked, and you can continue to read anything on it. You just can’t put new things on it directly from Amazon via its built-in interface. An original-model Kindle has more of its original functionality than an original-mode

Yes. And you can sideload without jailbreaking. They aren’t bricking the devices, they are making them not work with the Amazon store and library features anymore. My Kindle Keyboard (3rd generation device) still works perfectly well with s

It wasn’t a horrible OS. It just broke XP’s “it runs on practically anything” before the hardware was really there. And 7 was, as we all know, the most perfect Windows has ever been. Windows 7 Media Center was a magnificent DVR and a great

“General road safety”? I’m curious where you get this idea. I’m not accusing you of making it up, just wondering where it comes from. As for health, it’s fine as long as you aren’t chronically dehydrated. Your kidneys won’t fail if you don’

Eh, my response was about as funny as the original joke. Seriously, though, don’t drink anything and you won’t have to pee. That’s only 4 hours. There’s usually one stop an hour or two after leaving, but after that? I typically don’t eat o

I don’t dislike electric cars, but I don’t poop every 3 hours, and it doesn’t take 30 minutes to do so. When EVs can reliably (including charging infrastructure) do charging as fast as ICE refuels, with 300 miles/500 km between 20-80%,

1) Only 10%? 2) I can read either way, but with a road map what’s in front of you is generally more important than what’s behind you. By selecting the rotating map you don’t just get a rotating map - you get your position pushed to the edge

The one practical use I could imagine would be something like remote gate controllers and such with the mesh network coordinating activity. But that is very niche.

SkyTeam in general has superb service. I have in the past decade flown Delta, Air France, KLM, and Aeromexico, and all have curbstomped my American Airlines and British Airways experiences. The service on the plane isn’t a big deal, but in

For passengers, yes, but primarily it’s poor for passengers because the infra is owned by freight companies that aren’t interested in passenger service. And rail freight service in the US is mostly pretty good. And, at the time, they needed

Meanwhile, first class today is not very much more than coach cost in the regulated era. Try flying Delta. It isn’t the cheapest option, but you really do get better service. If you want to feel special, do Aeromexico first class. The check
