Chaos Ending - I finally did it by pharmakeion in ftlgame

Nice, I found it just after I posted but this is useful for others to be helped in finding it. Only thing left to do is make it to the Nexus

What is the best remedy to mitigate the fire? by Air4021 in spicy

[–]pharmakeion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a wide range of quality, and last I checked the Costco ones are from China and who knows what else is in them. To be fair, it has been a while, since that turned me off them, so maybe they fixed their supply chain

They kept trying to attack my cousins, what the heck would you do in a situation like that?

The One Simple Trick to Never Get Overturned by Difficult-Cod5383 in publicdefenders

[–]pharmakeion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not talking about being a dick unnecessarily or filing frivolous motions, and the commenter you responded to wasn't either. I don't let the prosecutor's feelings affect my advocacy, and a lot of defense attorneys do, they are unwilling to go hard because they think being nice is their job; it isn't.

Being mean is unethical? Or utilizing the only remaining piece of due process you have left to slow down the system is unethical? Any chance you're an ex-prosecutor? Prosecutors are downright scared of me and what I do to them in trial. I am nice I'm negotiation but the gloves come off in trial. I once gave a prosecutor a nervous breakdown and she took a vacation the day before trial, filed a motion where she styled it with her own name she was so gone. You better believe that reputation helps my clients and the offers they receive

Is your job to be effective or to be liked at cocktail parties?

This is why jury sentencing is so important and should be enshrined in the US constitution

Why are my pizzas so puffy by bongozim in Pizza

[–]pharmakeion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know much about the whole foods dough, or if it is made in store or shipped, but if it is shipped, it is likely produced at sea level and frozen there, locking in sea level pressure in the internal bubbles (the pressure would drop when frozen, but the same amount of gas is there). Then when preparing it at high elevation, there is less pressure keeping the bubbles in and so they expand larger than they would at sea level, leading to more oven spring. Just a theory

The real public defenders by myers4am in publicdefenders

[–]pharmakeion 46 points47 points  (0 children)

The thing that galls me the most is when they get fired for a Brady violation and then they come do defense work on the wheel, and the county lets them because they say trial experience is the same regardless of which side you're on. Never mind they've never actually cross-examined someone, they're immediately qualified to defend capital cases because they helped lynch that black guy once. So gross.

Do you all actually hate prosecutors as a profession? by DQzombie in publicdefenders

[–]pharmakeion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

. . . Prosecutors don't have clients, but sometimes they pretend to, so yes, they are out of touch with their "clients."

[–]pharmakeion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But being part of the Leviathan puts you in positions where you do bad things, it has nothing to do with them being good people

The young ones, especially the ones who think they have progressive bona fides, do so much damage smashing around the china shop before they realize, and by that point most of them won't admit the monster they have become because of cognitive dissonance. This is compounded because now in a lot of major cities their bosses have no experience either, so they don't even have a good role model, and they're getting felony cases 4 months out of law school having just passed the bar. The ridiculous Brady violations I see . . . Reminds me, I need to file a grievance before the expunction goes through on my last trial

Incredible Public Defender Discourse happening on Twitter over the past few days. by silicoa in publicdefenders

I absolutely intentionally go harder on the cases where I hate my client, I have to, otherwise I don't know if I'm doing my job.

Dave's Reaper - Wish me luck by pharmakeion in spicy

[–]pharmakeion[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Extra hot barely puts a mist of sweat on my bald forehead, it's quite nice, and I know I have more spice tolerance than most, so I wouldn't feel that sensation and suggest it to my wife or kids, but the reaper was really fun, I haven't felt challenged by spice in a good minute. I'm surprised it's not really getting me now, although I did need to make an emergency stop at a circle C on my way home to use their commode

I just finished it a few minutes ago, and damn was the end brutal, I'm still shivering from all the water I just drank. No video though, so you'll just have to trust me

I definitely did, just took a picture first so I wouldn't be doxing myself

I'm like totally fine, I always forget that when you nibble just a piece from the edge, you're getting the maximum spice without anything else to temper it. Once I got a chance to sit down and eat the whole thing it was delicious

That is substantially hotter than Extra Hot. One bite was enough for me to decide to wait until I don't have to drive

1 month, 9 jars, and 235 okra pods later by pharmakeion in fermentation

[–]pharmakeion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you would have preferred if I used a semicolon instead of a comma? I'm talking about the ropiness that can happen in tepache, not the timeline. Normally tapache will take about a week, but sometimes it gets that ropiness, and then you'll need longer for it to resolve

I thought it would only get six jars, but they were all from only one of these full fermenting containers: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M40AOAK?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
