I disagree completely! There are preferences of course but for instance US Southwestern cuisine with the burnt flavors ("charred") appeal to a wide swath of people and the French AFAICT from a lot of visits can't stand it. I

Yeah that works on my Viking stove with my competent pans, and is basically how I do it, but people with shitty stoves, i.e. the majority, have burners with hot spots and/or mismatched pan widths or even too thin pan bottoms. I suspec

I have crossed the MX/US border many times and it's more annoying flying but when driving across I've never even spoken to the MX side either direction and the only thing I've ever been asked on the US side (after passpo

Yeah, those bbq baskets advertised for grilling vegetables are sensational for charring Anaheims and Poblanos over a big gas burner. Bell peppers become a no brainer. No problem at all to do a much better job getting the skins off than th

I am curious how one pops popcorn, shakes a pan, throws the pan, and heats the sides of the pan when eg reducing stock. How do woks work, exactly, on an induction burner? Why does spilling liquids cause the problems I encountered? Why do

The shorter later novels are not difficult but don't bring the full banquet. I still really enjoy them. As a character my wife and were quite fond of Maxine in Bleeding Edge. I immensely enjoyed Against the Day, which is big enough

Hmmm. I was told a long time ago that I needed to (personally) diversify my individual risks to the financial system if I was not going to expect to be morally culpable. The longer this list gets, the more each is morally culpable.

I have, rarely to be true, had too much carrot flavor direction in the stock, so I go light on carrots. I've never had that happen with the onion or celery. My whole family are garlic fiends so there's likely going to be garlic

Of course! Besides being delicious and nutritious to begin with, it's important to increase familiarity/popularity because amazingly, NIMBY happens to oyster farms, too. Ruins the viewscape, the waterfront landowners say. Even

Hah! Can't/won't read because paywall, but I can tell you what it feels like to utterly massacre about 250 linear feet of the residue of 42 years of a thoroughly enjoyed and carefully curated book collection. We moved across

In the US dental implants, bridges, and root canals are not cheap, and hardly affordable for anyone who is not well off (enough). I.e., me. For example, a central incisor bridge I can't stand cost me $2300 a couple of months ago.

Exactly: partition => divorce. The arrow symbol '=>' is not causal; the partition did not cause the divorce, but where there was a partition, the divorce, in our experience, inevitably happened. I don't even want to el

42 years in and it is still one pot of money. My wife makes the money now, and has for 15 years. But we have swapped a half dozen times over the years. For instance when the child was born and she took 3 years off, or I got a relocation

We have enjoyed riding metros in Mexico City and Guadalajara, and everywhere more prosperous where we have been, and were eager to try out the LA metro last February. NEVER AGAIN! The smell alone is sufficient, but the headways, good lor

Looking at wikipedia's list, I have walked all over Ensenada and Guadalajara w/o problems. In fact, I really enjoyed them. But I know how to walk a city and read a barrio. Mexico City is really something, FWIW. I will say that

Ditch the white shoes! Minimize staring at maps on sidewalks, and if you need a bit of time to regroup dive into a cafe or kebab/taco joint. If your random track gets you to a sketchy zone, increase your speed and outward sense of pu

Yeah, no, I meant that 30 orgs with an average of 20 employees is (likely) a trivial load but it begins to have an interesting complexity on the amount of code for RBAC.

Ah, thank you very much. I will happily investigate these and ditch postgresql for sqlite if still true, for my planned use case. sqlite looks like great technology to me (as is postgresql) but I am a bit of a fanatic for keeping the overa

I start by assuming a server-side bridge between the client and the database, and it's a given the queries are parameterized. So only the bridge is doing the "logging in". Why is it superior to put all of the (bespoke) acces

Do you implement something akin to Role Based Access Control for those 30x20 employees? If so where do you store and manage that data? I have zero experience with this but I am very curious how people do it in sqlite.

Our box turtle in winter goes as long as several months w/o eating. In fact some years it hibernates from a few weeks to a couple of months. This is inside at room temperature. During the active months it usually wants to eat turtle

I've encountered many soft shell turtles (if you fish with bait in South Florida you will catch turtles) and I would not classify them as close to humans. I think if this sort of determination were to get any social traction then pigs

Back in 1994 we purchased a box turtle at a Santa Clara pet shop. We still have it. It must have been fully grown then because I am pretty sure it hasn't changed in size at all. I don't think we have noticed any behavioral chan

People have been eating soft shell and snapping turtles in the SE US since... always? I grew up in the Everglades in South Florida and caught and ate many soft shell turtles. Fried up, tastes like... chicken? It's pretty good. The
