Malcador Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 It's not like you're 80 and nearing death. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WDeranged Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Today I found out that I'm a Jew...kinda, we always knew we were of German descent but it turns out they were German Jews, my great grandfather apparently kept the faith and owned several jewellery shops in London, I got a chuckle from how stereotypical it sounds, makes me wish I knew more about my family history.

LadyCrimson Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Warm and summery, which I like. High ambient room temperature making the PC temps go up...don't like. It regularly gets 80F-85F by noon in here, most days. Time to put the A/C in the window. Might need a new unit this summer... Played some Diablo3 beta (meh). Did some yard work between bouts of sitting in the shade drinking cold water. Thinking about dinner. Mellowness. “Things are as they are.

Oerwinde Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Went to FanExpo Vancouver. Nicholas Brendan is actually incredibly funny, as is Adam West, though that one isn't as surprising.

Gorth Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I was sitting outside on my upper floor balcony (I live in a two plan house), about an hour and a half ago, reading my new Warhammer Empire army book, enjoying the last sunshine of the day. Then suddenly the screeching of tires started, seemingly going on for a long time and you know something bad is going to happen. Fortunately there is a small house on the corner property blocking the view to the crossing. When the sound of screeching tires gets replaced by the sound of metal getting twisted for a very long time, you know something bad has happened. When the screaming starts, you know somebody's day just got ruined very badly. Sort of proud that I didn't run down and stare, as I'm normally curious to a fault, but somewhere I probably knew enough about what happened and didn't need the visuals. Lots of police, ambulances, rescue vehicles with heavy equipment and eventually the "cleaners". 1 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Gorth Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 After having overcome the challenge of Pineapples, I've createe a new obstacle for myself to overcome... I've bought a coconut! According to the instruction manual, the first step is not so complicated, stick a skewer through one of the three "eyes" at then end and drain out the liquid. Sounds easy. Next bit however? Put in preheated oven at 200 degrees (celcius) for 25 minutes or until it starts cracking. I better make sure I have a fire extinguisher handy. Then tap coconut with hammer and cool of white stuff in cold water. Good thing I got some powertools. This is going to be interesting. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

LadyCrimson Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) What? Cook a whole coconut? Raw coconut "meat" is the way to go. Just break it open with a hammer and start eating. It's what I've always done. Edited April 23, 2012 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.

That's not what it said in the manual Maybe I should buy a second coconut. Then I can try both approaches... “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

LadyCrimson Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I'm sure the oven thing would work too. I just don't like heated coconut, and it isn't necessary. Raw pieces straight out of the shell is the only way I actually like coconut. Don't like it in dishes/confections etc. More than one way to crack that giant nut: http://www.wikihow.com/Open-a-Coconut “Things are as they are.

It seems like the benefit of heating/freezing the nut is an easier time getting the meat removed from the shell. I might just try it with a blunt spoon first. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

mkreku Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I once bought two coconuts and then just smashed them together. One of them broke and the liquid came flying out. But I could eat the white inside.. Unfortunately I can't remember if I ever managed to get the other one open too. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Oerwinde Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 On iron chef they always just crack it like an egg with the back of their cleavers. Looks so easy. Anyway, 2nd day of FanExpo, Michael Dorn and Marina Sirtis were incredibly entertaining. Marina is hilarious and still looks damn good. Was kinda sad seeing only like 40 people show up for Jeremy Bulloch though. Looking forward to next year. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Raithe Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Well tis an intensely wet and miserable day here. The sky is grey and the downpour is heavy.. The garden is definitely a mud pit.. But at least the dogs are somewhat settled. Trying to figure out what I need to do this afternoon and whether I have motivation to actually do anything. For some reason I keep having semi-flashback memories of an old girlfriends voice, has that hazy sort of recall and old emotions. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
