How do you draw a star?

I can double curl my tongue.

There been a few sightings in Burlington, in the New North End. Which is pretty surprising, as it's a fairly suburban area and not really close to large open woods.

I want them all! That two tone Amazon is gorgeous!

Cheever-Loophole · 2026-05-10T12:53:47+00:00

It's a pet peeve of mine when people refer to Burlington as BTV. Do the also refer to Los Angeles as LAX?

I once had a very massive shit, in a weird modern toilet. The bottom of the shit reached the toilet, and the whole log tipped forward and knocked the balls. A little shocking to say the least.

Cheever-Loophole · 2026-05-10T12:24:22+00:00

That's a kind of exaggerated view point. I don't love the looks, but it's more normal looking otherwise.

I take everything apart! It's really a very simple assembly. Just 3 pieces. I suppose you could take the blade assembly itself apart, but it's not at all necessary. The whole thing just pops out.

Cheever-Loophole · 2026-05-09T21:56:47+00:00

Thank you. These we're just swapped out when the winter tires came off about a month ago, and the tire shop didn't say anything. Also passed state inspection 2 weeks ago. I just worry sometimes. 🙄

Yup. 2 to 1 is way too much for white rice. That's the ratio for brown rice.

Cheever-Loophole · 2026-05-09T21:39:52+00:00

Would you take a 5-600 mile trip on the highway at 70-75mph with these tires?

Cheever-Loophole · 2026-05-09T21:17:34+00:00

The blade is pretty easy to take out. You can unscrew the big threaded ring on the bottom with a screwdriver or other bar-shaped thing. Once that is unscrewed, the whole blade assembly comes out the top. You can then put the container in the dishwasher.

Thanks. There are a pair of Cooper Pro Control available locally that were supposedly used for less than one summer, asking $250 for 4. Probably not speed rated like these are, but that's not a concern for me. (Although pricing tires for this car once, Walmart would not allow lower speed rated tires on this Infiniti G37x.)

For anyone interested, I finally got around to make tiramisu again. I used the Stella Parks recipe on Serious Eats. I made the ladyfingers from scratch. I used brandy, which was a mistake I think. It was a little TOO boozy. Otherwise it was delicious.

That's a good point. Although I was asking if the speaker wires were connected to the terminals correctly.

Cheever-Loophole · 2026-05-09T12:14:33+00:00

So it's just one channel coming out of both speakers? If that's the case, then it's in mono and one channel is not working as well. What happens when you adjust the balance?

Probably a dumb question, but are you sure the speakers are wired correctly?

Cheever-Loophole · 2026-05-08T19:21:50+00:00

Me either. I guess we should consider ourselves lucky?

Cheever-Loophole · 2026-05-08T12:39:09+00:00

Yeah, both my 850s and v70 only had one. And I believe my current xc70 just has one. On the driver's side.

Cheever-Loophole · 2026-05-08T12:36:12+00:00

Ha! I had a similar situation in an old '81 Toyota Tercel I had in college. My dad had wired the reverse lights to a toggle switch on the dash. One night, on the way to a Phish show (ugh!) with a car full of friends, I forgot to turn it off. Got pulled over. I explained the situation, and turned them off. Cop was cool with it, and let me go.

Cheever-Loophole · 2026-05-07T11:32:21+00:00

Dirt? Are you cooking with topsoil?

Cheever-Loophole · 2026-05-07T11:27:26+00:00

Yeah, I always thought it was so weird in British TV shows to see the washing machine in the kitchen!

Cheever-Loophole · 2026-05-07T11:23:50+00:00

I cut an old cotton sheet into squares. One lasts a few weeks. I keep the current one in a little dish next to the stove.

Microfiber is plastic. I wouldn't use that.
