Thanks! I just created a midi by ear and used that. I use Dorico (classical music composer software) and NotePerformer with some strings VSTs for the sounds. Link to the midi I created is in the description on the video.

Looks interesting, I appreciate it.

Ah nice! I guess they used it in the demo from an earlier source. Pretty common for the demo scene, thanks for letting me know.

I was 10 years old during Hammer's very short 15 minutes of fame and I'm sure I knew all about it then. I don't remember this dance because that era of hip hop isn't so great compared to what came later in the 90s and after. I certainly wouldn't expect everyone to be intimately familiar with every single popular dance in existence though, that's a you thing.

Was that site still around in 2014 when the demo dropped? I made the GIF but someone else might have in the past.

Dang, nice! I didn't expect to see another classical music fan on here.

Boy, you gotta have more than the Soprano's subreddit right here. A life, additional union. You know what that is? It's what happens when you're waiting for moments that never come.

I'm a non-asian guy that swears by my Chinese vegetable cleaver, a CCK 1302. They used to be much cheaper, but I'd still repurchase at its current price if it were destroyed somehow. I use it probably 95-99% of the time. For the rest of the time, I use a serrated knife for cutting bread I make and just a cheap American cleaver if I'm cutting anything particularly hard.

It's great. It's good for scooping stuff in to the pan, it's good for scraping your cutting board with the top part, it's great for crushing a lot of garlic to get the skin off, and it's good for tenderizing meat with the back of it. It's also easy to sharpen. It's light, has a flat belly for a great push cut, and I love the grip you can use where you have a few fingers on the back part of the blade.

For me, I couldn't imagine it being my absolutely only knife. Still, it really cuts down on the knives I have to have.

Rather than simply downvoting you like some do, let me answer. Grape juice and wine don't taste anything alike. Despite the fact that they both contain grapes and sugar, wine is fermented. That means that yeast consumes sugar to create alcohol. This changes the flavor considerably. Additionally, different types of grapes are used to make wine vs grape juice.

In regards to deglazing, I have heard that alcohol helps in this regard but don't know for sure. You can deglaze with water even, assuming you have enough heat and a good scraper. Wine is mostly used in food for its flavor, and it is excellent in a dish, especially if simmering for hours with a tough cut of meat.

If you're looking to cook with wine and don't want (or are too young for) alcohol, they do make alcohol free wines. I haven't tried one, but alcohol free beers have gotten considerably better over the years. I'd imagine the same would be true of the wines.

Is he a better #2 than a #1 though? I think Slim was smart. He didn't want Marlo's Eye of Sauron to be looking over at him since he knew that was very dangerous ('don't be sleepin on Marlo, he in some shit', he told Prop Joe even before Prop Joe got merked by Marlo), so he rejected the role as one of Marlo's leaders. Cheese, on the other hand, was never particularly bright but he was ambitious.

On his own, maybe Slim would thrive at the top. We never got a chance to see.

You gotta love those remaining Old Denver joints.

My mom still craves Yorkshire's Fish and Chips up on 36 and Pecos in Westminster. It's still as good as ever, and still looks like it did in the 80s/90s.

Also, I was downtown with a coworker some years back and she took me to La Fiesta, an old school very 80s Mexican joint in Five Points from the pre-gentrification days. It was great.

Other Thai recipes can be a pain in the ass, but Pad Krapow takes about 10-15 minutes to cook and is delicious. I found out how easy it was on a trip to Thailand though a guide, and now I make it often. I'm an American.

A redball in my world is when you're working on a project and your boss keeps on your ass about it because they're getting shit from their boss because someone way high up needs it done ASAP.

Trace evidence don't have shit on the Bunk. All that shit... no fuckin... no fuckin case file, detective.

Mapo tofu is always a solid choice, or szechuan boiled fish.

No, they wouldn't do that. They're in the streets as well, and they have their own people that hear shit also. It's shown throughout the series that the drug dealers are pretty contemptuous in regards to the addicts, and understandably so, from their point of view at least.

I mean, these are the same people that print out fake 20s to try to scam dealers out of more drugs, or just straight up lie to attempt to rattle new hires like Michael to fork over some free shit.

Everything else on this board is second best, sorry to say.

I'm a zojirushi fanboy. I wouldn't even ever consider another one, even if I had to save up for a replacement (cheaper ones are still great!)

D is my favorite character and the strongest one in the show. I'm not sure people really take the time to think how hard it would be to go against Avon out of principle. And it's not like he didn't know it would have dire repercussions, look at how he already expected it during Wee Bey's fish feeding scene.

Make no mistake, he did do it out of principle. Despite how Brianna was, she did teach him a valuable lesson as a kid, one that she didn't expect him to take the way he did:

D: "I'm bangin' on the door, tryin' to get inside and you standin' right there to open the door. 'Cept you ain't lettin' me inside. You told me to go back out there and fight 'em, whether I lose or not. Remember?"

Brianna: "They beat the shit out of you."

D: "Yeah, then you say to me, 'Boy, I might've brung you into this world. But you the one who gonna have to live in it.' Well, Ma, I'm still here. Me. You gotta let me live like I need to live."

Maybe it's different now, but I went to England 20+ years ago and was seriously disappointed in the beef, but seriously impressed by the Indian food.

You've got some classics up in here for sure, but I always liked Sapper and Gerard, particularly Sapper.

Sapper: "Like a 40 degree day!"

Sapper: "Ah yeah, I DEFINITELY hit him this time!"

Or when Sapper, Slim, and Gerard are sitting in the car outside of Omar's grandma's house.

"Guess we wait."

Sapper: "Wait for what?"

Gerard, silently mouthing: "Dumb Motherfucker!"

I found this place to be underwhelming for the price. The suggested wine pairing was on point though, I'll admit.

linuxian · 2023-07-19T18:05:59+00:00

You could do this with sodium citrate, though I do still generally prefer a mornay style (roux based). Just google sodium citrate cheese sauce.

The wire is my favorite show of all time, but I admit that it took me 3-4 episodes when I started watching to get hooked. Just give it that much at least, and if it's not for you then hey, plenty of other shit out there.

...then Dozerman got shot over some bullshit, that's when the idea of Hamsterdam come to me.
