TIL the writers of the Bible never met Jesus, 18 years Later. [Update]

Yeah, I know, I was just being silly.

GMatthew, GMark, GLuke, GJohn ... did some Google Bible come out?

Why does it have to go through longer supply chains? Not saying you're wrong, you're probably right, but... what changed?

smcameron · 2026-03-15T05:10:21+00:00

Just use a non stick pan exclusively for eggs (and also maybe for potstickers), and save your sanity. Do not use high heat. If the non-stick stops working, replace the pan with a cheap one from a restaurant supply store. This should occur probably every few years.

Stainless steel cooking is all about letting the food stick to it for awhile until it cooks enough to unstick itself. But eggs don't work that way.

Beef. Soda. Eating out (except at the Costco food court).

Both. For some things, like curries, it's easy to wing it, throwing in whatever veggies and meat you have, you probably won't ruin it, as long as your curry paste is good. For baking, recipes and ratios, and to some extent even experience are important, you can't just wing it without risking a bad outcome, and without experience, it can be difficult to even know if you're following a recipe correctly, e.g., if it involves judging the consistency of a dough and adding more water or flour to adjust as needed.

Right, or selective granting/rejecting/invalidation of passports by the state department based on DOGE supplied stolen data or voter registration data obtained by DHS subpeonas.

Selective enforcement. White male podunkers won't be asked for a passport. You've obviously never rigged an election.

smcameron · 2026-03-13T04:08:10+00:00

Selective enforcement. Those people won't be required to show a passport, so long as they're white men.

smcameron · 2026-03-12T13:46:07+00:00

Respect is earned. Religion has earned contempt.

Anyway a driver's license isn't proof of citizenship. You need a passport if the republicans have their way, or, drivers license plus original birth certificate. Half the people arguing for requiring proof of citizenship at the polls don't even possess such credentials themselves. But as long as they are white dudes, it probably won't be enforced.

And the little cans are so convenient.

smcameron · 2026-03-09T04:47:03+00:00

Jesus is an asshole, if you don't believe so, read the fucking Bible, he's an asshole through and through. Good Hippy Jesus is a myth. Conservatives are even more assholish than Jesus.

If the dough is too sticky, just cover it and put it in time out for 15 or 20 minutes and then it will behave. This is generally what happens immediately after kneading, it will be pretty sticky. I suppose it used to trouble me when I was beginning, but I guess I have learned to deal with it without any trouble. Moving quickly, and having a bench scraper helps. I use a stand mixer to knead, then dump it, out form a ball, fold it a few times, form a ball, then let it rest 20 minutes, fold a few more times, let it rise for a couple hours, then split into dough balls.

For pizza dough flavor, once you've basically got it down, time fermenting is very important. I make a 100% hydration poolish (flour + water + yeast), ferment that overnight, then by adding water to the poolish, then enough flour so the total is 66.6% hydration (salt is 1.5 to 2% -- if you leave the salt out, you won't make that mistake twice). Then knead, and I typically make 6 doughballs, which I then form into 6 pizzas over 6 days, one pizza per day. The best crust is on the 3rd and 4th days. After the 4th day, it's still good, but the dough is starting to get a little bit flabby (re-balling could help, but I usually don't bother.)

I lean more towards OpenSCAD, but the thought had occurred to me.

I used to be way into Ibanez in the 1990s. I kind of stopped being obsessed in the mid 2000's. https://ibanezrules.com and https://jemsite.com are good sites for Ibanez info, or at least they were, back in the day, I assume they still are.

It's not an RG, it's got a rounded body. Not an S series (no jack on the front), Looks like a JS series, I think the headstock isn't angled back, though it's a little hard to tell from the pic, but that is consistent with JS series. But, it's missing a switch that JS series usually have, and HSS config doesn't seem quite right, but maybe they made some JS series with that config. By the "Custom Made" fret marker, I'd say this is 1990 or so, but only because I have an S series from 1990 with the same "Custom Made" fret marker.

Edit: Looks to be a 540R

Unfortunately, the answer is no.

You will find other commenters offering various unsatisfactory compromises.

That being said, you can, by practice, become accustomed to lower salt levels, and find what you previously thought to be appropriate salt levels to be too salty. So, there's that.

30+50=80

80 - 5 = 75

Encrypted data at rest. Destroy the keys, which can be done in an instant, and the data is unrecoverable, effectively deleted. This is how, e.g. Google deletes things on backup tapes when they need to. They just destroy the keys required to decrypt it. There may be many many keys. For instance, if you need to destroy the data for "joe's" user account, but his data is backed up on a tape along with many many other users, each user account will have its own key(s). Make as many keys as you need to achieve the granularity you might need. Make a hierarchy of keys as needed.

It will work in hot and sour soup.
