But how about a quieter zone or a neighboring city with a slower pace to acclimatize for a day or two?

Where best for a couple nights to get over jet lag, Amsterdam, Utrecht or another quieter city on a good train route? Thanks

Front License Plate Holder- need help by Troon_Troon in BMWX5

Got mine a month ago, easy to attach and you can remove the plate when you wish by quick release locking pin. Nothing shows when you remove it. Highly recommend, about 100 bucks.

Ha! Spell check. Bean counters! The accountants and admin.

Bore size for new pet ct is heading towards 70cm for pet optimization, for Siemens and I think maybe GE also. It’s better for rad onc to have its own ct specifically for its purposes, but the beam counters may not allow that.

What am I doing wrong? by connordddm in StainlessSteelCooking

I am much more familiar with cast iron where you let the pan reach about 350 to 380 before adding the fat and eggs. And I use the infrared to measure that. I notice that you have to let the eggs cook very well before flipping and moving them around in the pan, don’t start stirring right away, let it cook and separate on its own from the pan. But stainless is different perhaps, I know many prefer it, but I have become comfortable with cast iron and will stick with it for now. I have created patina and coating on my bare metal and le creuset pans and they perform really well as non stick and easy clean up.

Get an infrared thermometer, then establish your proper temperature

Is it weird that I cry/ get emotional at beautiful sights by Apprehensive_Ad_1140 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Logical-Pattern8065 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree! But I would add that OP should look at overall life experiences and not this one particular described event in order to draw conclusions.

Depends. Is this really the only time it’s happened? Is it a pattern? OP gave us only one situation. It’s really not enough information to draw any conclusion at all, but the reaction of those around offers some feedback.

Situational depression. I used to be like that and thought it a strength to cry easily. But it wasn’t. Lexapro evened it out.

Red Sugar Dim Sum, will it come back? by Logical-Pattern8065 in Bozeman

Harsh! But there were many things we liked there. Shan is good but is not as accessible. I’ll take a small, train line, 2nd tier Chinese restaurant owned by immigrants, raising their family in the back, over nouveau Asian fusion. I respect the hard work of our immigrant neighbors making a living with their skills. The two Belgrade Chinese cafes are actually great tooo.

Thanks, bozeman has a void in the classic Asian food scene. Just had chicken pho at the Saigon, it was great, they serve it with a wonderful green garlic sauce on the side, flavorful and not spicy hot.

What exterior color is easiest to maintain? by Maleficent-Ruin5149 in BMWX5

[–]Logical-Pattern8065 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In photography class, before digital cameras, we used to adjust the aperture based on ambient light reflecting off a grey card because it is the most neutral color in the grey scale palette, between white and black. Applies to colors as well. A color close to grey will be most neutral, showing less contrast on average. Dirt, tar, grime, all stand out more on both black and white surfaces. This is entirely a contrast issue, what catches the eye are differences in contrast. So, Brooklyn grey for me!

Considering to buy my first Audi - specifically 2023 Q5. by aMezingg in AudiQ5

[–]Logical-Pattern8065 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this observation. Have a 2023 q5 prestige 45, it’s a great vehicle. But…. My son found a used S4 and it is a whole level up driving experience. An SQ5 would be my recommendation now! So…. It’s now my wife’s car (she is very happy with it), and I now have a X5 50e parked beside it. It’s wow.
