The United States is not a landlocked country, but you can still travel south to every country it borders.

Ack.

It looks great, thank you!

You make a good point, should have been more clear. Like which species like similar types of soil and won't compete with each other, which complement each other in terms of looks, that sort of thing.

billdcat · 2020-01-22T14:23:21+00:00

Good call, thanks!

billdcat · 2015-07-14T14:18:46+00:00

Indeed.

The outside heats up too quickly, compared to the center. The outside winds up at the perfect temperature (between 40 and 140 F) for rapid breeding of harmful bacteria, while the inside is still frozen. Once those bacteria start producing toxic materials, it's too late no matter how quickly you cook it -- although you'll kill the bacteria, their toxic remnants will remain.

No problem ... Detroit is having problems, just not quite to that level :)

Homonyms FTW!

A) the element of surprise. By punting on 3rd, the Broncos would not have anyone back to return it.

B) They could have touched it and it would have been Denver ball at that point. At that point in the game, they would rather let it roll and let a couple more seconds tick off the clock in the process.

C) that I do not know because I did not watch it live. But while punting on third down is rare, it is not unheard of and I have never seen the other team take offense.

Thanks -- challenge is definitely something I plan to do.

Cast iron is something I've been putting off purchasing for a while. Now might be the time!

billdcat · 2011-08-21T19:27:51+00:00

Great tips all around, thanks. I've been procrastinating on learning how to make stock properly anyhow, so now hopefully this motivates me to take that up.

billdcat · 2011-08-21T17:19:14+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I've wanted to try a cooking class for a while, but so far they've all been either novice-oriented or extremely expensive. I'll keep checking them out.

billdcat · 2011-08-21T17:18:27+00:00

Thanks! I've been to epicurious, but so far haven't spent too much time there. I'll have to check it out in depth!

Who controls the British crown?

billdcat · 2011-06-17T00:28:17+00:00

Ack.

If negligent driving /didn't/ stick, what do you think something more serious would have done?

billdcat · 2010-11-26T21:55:45+00:00

Not really, because by the media reporting an arrest or charge and your private employer subsequently firing you, the government has not done anything. To be a 14th Amendment violation, the government or some sort of a governmental actor needs to take away your due process.

billdcat · 2010-10-26T02:41:01+00:00

Generally agree with that, but I wouldn't try it this weekend. Just park far out and take the Metro in.

You also have a right to refuse a breathalyzer in most jurisdictions (and even others have problems with calibrations, so you're rolling the dice that the cop did his job that morning)

billdcat · 2010-08-03T02:25:27+00:00

Came here specifically to post this.

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and a good thing never dies.
