Sorry I'm a day late with this, people. Also, is there anyone who would be willing to do the mid-week reminders for me (for the next rewatch too)? I'm just not online during the week reliably enough to do the reminders (as I'm sure you all have noticed - sorry). Anyway, if you'd be willing and able, just let me know. Thanks! :) Also, thanks to all of you who have filled out the holiday hiatus ...
...bad as my French, but I think what we call "scalloped potatoes" is pretty similar to a gratin dauphinois , except the gratin doesn't have cheese in it. (P.S. Even though I can't reliably identify them, the vague concept I have in my mind of scalloped potatoes is responsible for me thinking "scallop" refers to that sort of wavy, frilly shape in general rather than to a particular mollusc or cut ...
... diode suppresses any inductive kickback from the coils, which might otherwise damage the optoisolator's phototransistor. Getting the pulse length correct in the software turned out to be important — it has to reliably get the heavy bell striker swinging, and then hold it against the stop long enough that it doesn't swing back and hit the other bell, creating a double chime. After experimenting ...
... before turning on the camera is very helpful. Physical switches instead of menus are great. Multiple aspect ratios seemed like a gimmick but I really like them. AF, esp. with focus assist light as needed, has been quite reliably. Still learning about the various focus modes. The camera is suprisingly useful, especially when it comes to making visual notes or imitating old film cameras.
... Wireless Connection advanced settings, looked at the details for the relevant "Preferred network" profile, and changed the authentication from WPA2 (which the router is using) to WPA. And then it worked. Reliably. Every time. Now, I'm no expert on wireless security, but even if that Linksys USB wireless adapter doesn't support WPA2 for some reason (even though Windows thinks it does), I don't ...
...Pussy's exceedingly aware her future financial coffers might be adversely affected by this scandalous planned press conference. And that's giving her tremendous pause at the moment. Will all the ol' reliably closeted machinery of Hollywood win out in the end—and Butter will continue to maintain her (fairly) discreet preference for the chicks? It's a fascinating dilemma. Particularly if Butter ...
... more than the Mooncup UK. The chart lists the Mooncup UK's capacity to the holes as 12-13mL. However, maybe because of suction, my Mooncup fills well past the holes; the times I've measured, I've reliably been able to empty 22-25mL of blood from it (depending on how much sticks to the sides as I dump). The capacities for the small Fleurcup and the small Lunette are listed as 20mL to the holes. ...
... our favorite unscripted truth-teller. Tina Fey We want to live inside Tina Fey's brain. From her seven-year stint as Saturday Night Live's first female head writer to her creation of the reliably zany 30 Rock, the 39-year-old has graciously invited America into her uniquely loopy, ferociously smart, unapologetically female psyche. It's a place where high school movies are a blast (as in ...
... in matching suits he just gets even worse!” Mark replied, his eyes sparkling playfully. “Only coz he knows me and Jay put him to shame,” Howard grinned, dusting his shoulders jokingly. “Eh! I’ve been reliably informed that I’m the best looking one in this band!” Gary protested. “By who, Dawn?” Jason teased, making Mark splutter with laughter. “Nah – by Mark!” Howard put in quickly, sharing a ...
...hear comfortably middle-class people say, "Oh, money isn't everything," or "Money can't buy happiness," it makes me think: Bull. Fucking. Shit. Because it's easier to be happy if you're well-fed and reliably housed and have clothes and heat and so on, than if you don't. And the reason it makes me angry instead of just frustrated is that it's sometimes -- perhaps even often -- used as an excuse. I ...
