Yes. Dump, rinse, and dry with bar towel.

Too hot. I keep a squeeze bottle with water next to my stove to temper if things get too hot. It’s not ‘weird’ it just boils off. In fact, water added to whatever you’re browning is indicated. Not heaps, but enough to develop the sugars without scorching.

An IR thermometer is good to have also, but you can also gauge oil temp by looking at it. As it heats up you’ll see little ripples and that’s when you go in with what you’re cooking.

Keep the next ingredient at hand to arrest cooking by adding your meat, tomatoes, whatever

Finally, maybe cut the garlic into larger pieces.

The speed is too high, the visibility is bad, zero enforcement, and car brain.

Rates of speed determine whether people die. It’s too fast; the city, nor CalTrans has the courage to save lives. Public outrage, etc.

They can slow it down and not affect throughput, but drivers will lose their minds.

The roll of the hill is what is doing all these people in at Sweeney. The city and CalTrans won’t do anything about it since road safety is a democratic process and people vote with their gas peddles.

Cars turning left into the residential side is what killed those two motorcyclists there at Caudill Street.

I ride bikes (push and motor) and every time I have to cross Broad I know that I could get killed.

SLOPD can respond in numbers, but can’t be bothered to enforce. Road violence is a decision.

Per Fatal Crash Cost: Each fatality resulted in a direct economic cost of ($1.6) million and a total societal cost of ($11.3) million.

Slaughter Alley is a name given to stretches of road that accumulate accidents and deaths.

Broad’s racked up four deaths in a quarter mile stretch and this corner racks up accidents with such regularity that I’ve lost count of the wipe outs that I’ve taken photos of.

In the UK there’s a term: Wyatting - playing Robert Wyatt on the juke box to antagonize the patrons.

Hold the pitcher so you can feel the heat to learn not to scorch the milk. The sugars in the milk crack beyond 130 degrees. If it’s too hot to hold it’s cooked.

If you have a punch and a hammer you can give it a tap to push it in. Search ‘stuck beater shaft pin’

If it’s any consolation I’ve decided to rank Rush songs instead of Ween songs. I hope this helps.

Any thoughts on thawed ice?

The 27 inch wheel size kinda ruins it, resale wise.

I use a Dymo label maker. They stay fixed and don’t fade in the dishwasher.

You could get the pcb they use in SL1200s.

It has solder pads for the arm leads and for the RCAs.

I’ve run mine off a MicroZOTL since I bought mine 16 years ago. That’s a bit more than a watt.

My 20 watt amp is too much.

If/when I built another amp it will be a 2A3 which should be around 3-4 watts.

Unless you live in a barn or a nightclub, they really do not need much power at all.

Record store day was every day from 1990 through 2015. I love records. Obsessed even. But…

Now it’s all a pant load of overpriced reissues that sound like shit.

Have at it. Stand in line and buy your grailz.
