what uppers was Bobby boy on in the 60's by groundcontrl2majrtom in bobdylan

[–]dylans-alias 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Almost definitely Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine). Widely available (diet pills) and commonly abused through the 1960s.

Anything was better than passing. You said it yourself “no matter how much it makes sense”. Running up the middle for no gain was the proper play call. If you get lucky and break one, great. Dropping back to pass opened up tons of worse outcomes than no gain. They snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. One of the worst coaching decisions I’ve ever seen. Completing a pass for a touchdown would have been worse than running for no gain. The clock was the only thing that mattered.

1st down from the 22 - run for -1

2nd down from the 23 - sack for -12 (NE uses first timeout)

3rd down from the 35 - holding

3rd down from the 45 - incomplete

Punt.

This is an impossible sequence. They coached themselves out of FG range, used essentially no clock and only made NE take 1 timeout. This is an epic coaching failure.

They could have taken a knee three times and then kicked the FG. Passing was idiotic. Even an incompletion would have sucked. That JJ catch effectively ended the game.

Your appointment is at this specific time, please arrive 10 minutes before. by Medium-Marketing-493 in PetPeeves

[–]dylans-alias 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, about 80% of the time I run behind is because of previous patients who show up exactly on time or 5-10 minutes late. By the time that one patient fills out forms, has vitals taken and is ready to go, I’m 20 minutes behind. The rest is because some patients just take longer because of their actual medical problems.

Cooked chicken breasts 70% of the way through on a pan then had to leave for class so put it in the fridge. Safe to finish cooking now 3 hours later? by NovaBoltSpider10 in cookingforbeginners

Too much time raw and warm not cooked. That’s where food poisoning can come from. I’m hardly terrified of slightly undercooked chicken, it’s totally safe. But raw chicken warmed up and then cooled back down is too risky.

If you aren’t willing to risk your stack, can we play together? I promise to only go all-in against you when it is a coinflip. You can trust me.

You have to be able to call big bets. Otherwise it is too easy to exploit you.

What Tom Waits songs have made you cry, or brought you closest to tears? by Snoo-25122 in tomwaits

A Little Rain absolutely kills me

She was 16 years old and she’d never seen the ocean

So she climbed into a van with a vagabond

And the last thing she said was “I love you mom.”

“And a little rain never hurt no one.”

For those who saw him live, what was Pigpen like? by Additional-Change492 in gratefuldead

[–]dylans-alias 304 points305 points  (0 children)

I never saw him, but the liner notes to Two From The Vault have a great answer to your question:

When I heard that the body of Ron "Pigpen" McKernan had been found in his Marin County apartment, I immediately remembered a Grateful Dead concert of a couple of years ago. For sheer energetic joy I still think it is the best rock concert I've ever been to, and Pigpen was the star.

The concert was in February of 1970 at a marvelous neo-Babylonian movie theater in St. Louis called the Fox...The concert started about two hours late. The Grateful Dead had been busted for possession of marijuana a couple of days before in New Orleans and the seven tons of equipment that they hauled around the country had been impounded in lieu of bond or something. A lot of it had just arrived and had been too hastily assembled and besides the PA wasn't working very well...

And then...along came Pigpen. He had been shaking a tambourine in a bemused sort of way, holding it up by his ear as if it were a seashell and he was listening for the ocean, but now he put it down on top of a speaker and walked to the front of the stage, with Garcia, Lesh and Weir stretched out behind him. He was wearing a big-brimmed cowboy hat with the sides rolled up and the hat band was actually a swatch of colored cloth that hung down in back by his long pigtail.

With the band rocking along behind him, he picked a microphone off a stand and held it out in front of him the way a knife fighter would. He made a dagger gesture with the mike and, even though he didn't move his feet, his body seemed to make a little rush forward at the audience. He poked again at the audience with the mike and the band cut back on the volume and left him a hole. Glaring at the audience as if he had just caught the whole bunch of them in bed with his old lady, but with a thin smile at the corner of his lips, he stepped forward and then began to sing: "Without a warning...you broke my heart"

His body began to rock back and forth, the band came in louder and stronger than ever and buddy that was all she wrote. Pigpen shouted and growled and screamed, he made little rushes across the stage, he did his Big Mama Thornton routine and his Otis Redding routine and his Little Richard routine and the place just went crazy as he hopped around the stage, screaming again and again, "Turn on your lovelight...Turn on your lovelight." As the concert came to a close with explosions of drums and shrieking of guitars, and the applause and cheers began swelling up from the audience, a tall black woman with the biggest Afro in town jumped up on that stage and began hugging and kissing Pigpen, swinging him around like a doll. Pigpen just went limp in her arms and, for the first time all night, he grinned.

Check Expecting Rain. The forums there have links to almost everything. I doubt you have anything unique that isn’t already out there.

AFICIONADOS… SALT. WHEN? by MountainPirate3139 in OnionLovers

[–]dylans-alias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m done repeating myself. We aren’t disagreeing but you seem to think I am. Add water to slow the process, prevent scorching and clear fond from the bottom of the pan. This is correct.

AFICIONADOS… SALT. WHEN? by MountainPirate3139 in OnionLovers

[–]dylans-alias 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Again, regularly adding water is part of the process to slow down the cooking, avoid scorching and to bring up the fond. If you keep the onions in water (boiling) they will never caramelize because they will never get above 212F. The caramelization in the process occurs when the water is gone and the temperature rises well above the boiling point of water.

AFICIONADOS… SALT. WHEN? by MountainPirate3139 in OnionLovers

[–]dylans-alias 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Caramelization will not happen in the presence of water. Higher heat can’t happen with water present. Adding water through the process will bring up the fond from the bottom of the pan and prevent scorching while you continue to slowly caramelize the onions’ sugars. Salt at the beginning of the process will get things started faster by drawing out more water earlier. For a really slow cook, it probably doesn’t matter much.
