LadyCrimson Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Peanut butter cups ... to me it's not about rancid and more about moisture loss being more of a factor, so you lose the softening yet binding of the fats or emulsifiers, becoming kind of crumbly/chalky over time. Although for me it's seemed more like a year for store boughts. Hard candies/lolipops and some toffee and brittles etc are the worst when it comes to room air moisture absorption, imo, becoming not-brittle and a little outer-layer soft in 3-12 months depending on storage (hard cough drops do the same thing). “Things are as they are.

Keyrock Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 When I was a wee lad growing up in Poland both the 24 hour and 12 hour way of telling time were well understood, but the 24 hour clock was more common, in my very limited experience. Whether you told someone let's meet up at 4 in the afternoon or 16 o'clock, either one was understood and in both cases no one would so much as give you a puzzled look, but 16 o'clock was more common. Granted, this was decades ago. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyrock Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 It's time for my biannual daylight savings rant, and this is the good one, the one where we get an extra hour of sleep.

I wish the rest of the world would follow suit. got a canine family member who is unwell. our current schedule has us sleeping when the dog gets something approaching sleep, but we do not follow any kinda normal schedule save for when we provide meds. pre fall back, we did meds at 8:30 and 20:30. now we do meds 7:30 and 19:30. even before the dog were suffering cushing's, he were kinda a d!ck 'bout his feeding times and as he could not read a clock no matter how many times we explained little hand and big hand positions in the most simple and straightforward manner, he did moan if we did not feed him at the right time every morning at crack o' dawn. were similar to when we were taking care o' human family with round-the-clock med needs or when we had a major case. daylight savings affected us not at all 'cause schedules were defined by patient/client needs as 'posed to traditional clock-in and clock-out considerations. has been decades since daylight savings impacted us to any meaningful degree. we do recall a time when losing an hour were a major blow to our sleep schedule. those were the salad days.

Keyrock Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Yesterday I took my sister and her fiancé to the shooting range. He did shockingly well for someone who's never fired a gun before, he was almost as accurate as I am, and I've put roughly 1000 rounds through the gun. My sister didn't fare as well, though, in her defense, my Glock 40 is much too big and heavy for her. It's literally the largest handgun Glock has ever produced. On the bright side, she handled the considerable recoil of 10mm Auto well. Next time we go we'll rent something smaller and easier to wield. With my membership, the rental is free, I'll just have to pay for ammo (unless I rent another pistol chambered in 10mm). 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
