LadyCrimson Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Today I watched more JunsKitchen videos (along with Rachel and Jun videos). Every time I watch people who are decent/good with a kitchen knife - the cutting food, not just cleaning rust - I get just a little bit jealous. They make it look so easy.

injurai Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 I love Jun's kitchen. I honestly don't think fluent cooking is all that hard if you have the equipment and spend a bit of time picking up some methods. The most important thing is having a really sharp knife, it literally makes things trivial.
Gromnir Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Today I watched more JunsKitchen videos (along with Rachel and Jun videos). Every time I watch people who are decent/good with a kitchen knife - the cutting food, not just cleaning rust - I get just a little bit jealous. They make it look so easy. Pffft. video for a home chef, elite knife skills are useful but hardly essential. sure, prep time is significant increased if you are clumsy with a knife, but is hardly a real limitation. make certain your steel is sharp. more important, plan ahead and make certain you do all possible prep work in advance o' applying heat to anything. e.g. pre-measure out spices and quantities o' ingredients. we do a fair amount o' cooking but we almost never watch cooking shows. 'bout a year ago we saw ina garten's (sp?) show for the first time. not particular great knife skills. am being generous. we current got partial paralysis in our left hand/arm and our overall knife skills is far better than she displayed. with her rather mundane (at best) knife skills, she is nevertheless making buckets o' money for her cooking skills. annoyingly valid bit o' pith: success is 90% preparation and 10% perspiration. cooking is no different than most craftsmanship. don't simple read a recipe ahead o' time, but plan. be willing to invest time in preparation so you can then focus on actual cooking. doesn't much matter if you can expert fine chop 10 onions in two minutes or not if you is cooking at home and can afford to spend a bit more time on prep. HA! Good Fun! ps alternative: you can do as our sister did and avoid cooking altogether-- baking only. can be a fine baker with pretty much 0 knife skills.

Gromnir Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Sorry to hear about your condition, Gromnir. Hopefully it is temporary? not temp. 'course is also not a particular big deal for us at this stage. type slower and riding a bike is a bit more dangerous with only one good hand/arm. takes a bit longer to prepare meals. no more visits to batting cages. etc. mostly minor inconveniences.

Bartimaeus Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 How so? I'm on 52.0.2 with auto-updating off for plugin compatibility reasons. Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
injurai Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Firefox updated and now everything is garbage. :/ There could be some bugs or issues with a particular target build. But in the grander scheme this is factually wrong. I've been following the development of this update very closely, and it's really nothing short of amazing. If you are having issues, I'd recommend sticking things out. Maybe using an older version for the time being. Btw the newest version is 57.
LadyCrimson Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Judging from the huge "members online" list, I'm guessing something big is going on today. Game beta? Today I ran out of my homemade chicken+chicken liver mix and when I tried giving Kitty some Fancy Feast to tide him over, he tried to bury the dish and gave me this dirty look. I guess I better hoof it to the store and do some cooking before I sit down to check out FFXV Comrades. “Things are as they are.

Bartimaeus Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Yeah, as Gfted said above. So the thing I'm wondering is, who the heck scrolls down past the 2 dozen game-specific subforums to see who's online anyhow? Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

LadyCrimson Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) Yeah, as Gfted said above. So the thing I'm wondering is, who the heck scrolls down past the 2 dozen game-specific subforums to see who's online anyhow? Someone who has every non-WoT subforum always minimized and uses the "End" key to get to the bottom of the page. Edit: Edited November 15, 2017 by LadyCrimson 2 “Things are as they are.

Gfted1 Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 I do it every time I log on. As part of my gig I always scroll to the bottom to see if there are any posts from new members in any forums that need approval. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"

I even had to install a new IRC client, because chatzilla - that I was using for years - doesn't work anymore. Also the interface looks like crap now... probably also because my classic theme restorer addon isn't working anymore. My web developer toolbar isn't showing up anymore either. tl;dr -- everything is crap now.

ShadySands Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 For about 20 minutes this morning I efreshed the backer page every few seconds to see if the beta had been released. Got my key as soon as it popped up and plugged it right into GOG like it mattered since I was at work and couldn't play it anyway. First there was a feeling of joy and a sense of accomplishment but that was quickly followed by an uneasy feeling and a bit of regret as I slowly came to the realization that I had absolutely no desire to actually participate in the beta. Now I wish I hadn't redeemed it so that I could give it away to someone who might enjoy it. Free games updated 3/4/21

Calax Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 Runnign my store, seem to be doing a decent(ish) job given little feedback. Had to fire a kid because he was using fraud to get his numbers up (and just pocket a bit more cash). We uncovered this over the course of a day where my boss basically said "So, we gonna fire him or you want something else?" It went from us deciding to maybe fire him over his attendance and attitude problems to my boss being on a conference call with the corporate security team. Got a call from the customer today, apparently this kid threatened to kill our customer if she ratted him out. She's a touch rattled and I can't help but consider that I might get shanked by a disgruntled employee in the near future. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Azdeus Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 Hope you stay safe and get that sorted out Calax, sounds like the little twerp deserves some time behind bars. --- Perk of having vacation time; Loads of time to play PnP.
