At what point in time does it become ok to unfriend someone? Right now I am seriously considering wether I should give notice to two couples in our immediate circle of friends, who're, I'm afraid, delivering sub-par friend performance. They have clearly misunderstood basic human right policies, and have begun to consider brown people a menace to society, furthermore they no longer are able to invest in, or welcome diversity, and this not in a droll manner. They too have adopted a level of political correctness that I find unsettling, and they have become the Stepford Families, yet without a patriachially induced motivator. I am loving fed up with discussing mortgages, kids schools, bosses being unreasonable, educational prowess, working unreasonably long hours (50hrs a week - who're you loving kidding), and - yes - the menace to society that is represented through brown(muslim) people. I have previously done so in writing, but this time I'm thinking of just shunning them! I'll be your friend Dino!

On a happier note - one of my oldest buddies has left his spouse (who was a pain), and is moving into our basement, we're letting him have it practically for free. Long nights of talking, eating, drinking, and being men ahead! Edit: For free means that he has to pay for water, heat and electricity. Edit 2: Also happily - I've gotten a new sponsor kid, who is 7 yrs old, because the old one got picked up by her mom, who had bettered her financial situation - new one is hard of hearing, so he is going to a special needs school, but he loves to dance, and he looks :3 Happy Hat fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Feb 13, 2012 |

I like turtles posted:I found a Bottom of first page.. Vegan nudists posted:P.S. Regular readers will know that we talk a lot about gender and race issues on the blog. Allow us to point you towards a great new resource: Liberate Yourself. This website allows you to learn more about the experiences of black people, disabled people, LGBT people and women. You can also ask anonymous questions on any topic. There is not a single black person, a single disabled person on that naked thing.. While there are women, that entire statement makes me lose hope in humanity. I am happy for knowing dino, because that statement would otherwise, in itself, be enough for me to write off vegans as an evolutionary deadend that should be reclassified as not belonging to humanity. Sanctimoneous loving pricks! even loving treating minorities as being one and the same, and then loving bundling women in there is completely counterproductive to the aim of equality. Also... Why are Vegans overweight?

Ahh.. but see - every time I buy a hardcopy I have to pay freight from the states, then I have to pay 25% added import tax, because of no free-trade agreement with the states. Alternatively I have to buy it in Denmark, where the price for a book is at standard around USD 30-40, alternatively I can buy them in UK, but still at a higher price, and not get as much diversity.. So the kindle is good to me.. But then again - I've been reading poo poo, so perhaps I'm the one losing out.

therattle posted:I'll buy books for you here in the uk and post them to you. You can pay me via PayPal. Thanks for the offer  Most of what I read is more readily available on the kindle though, the main objection I have for the kindle is that there is one price for americans, and another price for danes (bet most of you didn't know that).

PainBreak posted:Yeah, it's not that I didn't comprehend so much that it doesn't make sense. The temperature at which you maintain a bechamel, which then becomes a mornay, isn't high enough to "cook" the flour taste out, in my opinion. I saw someone mention "simmering" their sauce. Personally, I'd never take mine to a simmer, but that's because I don't like broken sauces. How do you break a sauce that is based on flour? I have never experienced that happening!

mediaphage posted:You could just make an Amazon.com account, and buy your books on that account. That is what I have, but they're smart enough to check credit card information against the address you provide, meaning that if you're card is danish you get to pay the premium of being a foreigner. ..also - you cannot buy a kindle (or content) in the uk store, you have to buy it in the US store. Same thing with iTunes, where you can circumvent it, and get to buy in the american store by using gift cards (which can be bought at a 10% premium at eBay), and registering with an american address (I am Voodoo Donuts in Portland).

There is no issue with customs, I happily pay the 25% for US not being a free trade country - the problem is that Amazon puts on a premium if you're a foreigner... On the other hand - still cheap as dirt, and why should I bother so much. Seen in the light of me spending well above USD 800 a year on books I don't want to risk losing them at some point in the future - meaning that I do not want to cheat amazon. (Which reminds me that I have to get USD 150 reimbursed by work that I completely forgot about). Stupid amazon stuff (it was that or a penis mushroom)  Happy Hat fucked around with this message at 16:02 on Feb 19, 2012 |

mindphlux posted:I'm not trying to store cooked fresh pasta? are you asking why I rinse it under cool water? if so, I guess I just read somewhere that it was good to stop the cooking process, even if you were immediately serving - but I've also stopped doing that because it makes the pasta so goddamn dense and chewy. Don't do this! Yes - I know you've stopped it.. but... This is also the worst advice I've ever received about pasta (that and 'remember to pour oliveoil over it before serving, or melt butter in it, so you make drat sure that the delicious sauce that you prepared will not stick to it'). Based on that advice my heart was filled with sadness, and I had to eliminate precious friends from my inner circle. I have a hard time comming across with how bad that advice was... This is advice that ranks up there with "Cook chicken to pink", "You can use the same board for everything" - this is advice that resembles the state of Rambling Vagrants kitchen when we first saw it.. This is really really bad advice! Happy Hat fucked around with this message at 21:38 on Feb 20, 2012 |

I use Staub which has a glass surface, never had a problem with chipping from too much heat, as I have with le creuset on multiple occations - they retain heat beautifully, they do not ruin the taste of the food, they are durable and good in use too.. I do, of-course, have pure cast-iron too, mainly Skeppshult, which is really good - but I also use Mauviel for pots, and seriously, if I didn't have induction I would have a lot of copper ware from Mauviel instead, the ability to change temperature is crazy good. Different weapons for different animals I guess...

Getting to gold at different airlines and hotel chains is some sort of weird real life version of a game with levelling up.. It really speaks to the nerd in you! The advantages on the other hand (upgrades, and a loving newspaper, and also free stays), are really not worth the investment of time, and leaves you feeling like an empty husk.

Or the early fjord shrimp caught together with the kids by walking with nets, and then eating in the evening in one big shrimp orgy. This describes my childhood... (when my uncle didn't get greedy and sold them to Tivoli for around USD 100 per pound for the really early ones - they never talked about child labour back then!)

This must be an american thing... Maple syrup is made from maple, otherwise it is illegal to call it maple.. There's blueberries in blueberry cake, otherwise it is illegal to label it to contain blueberries (active misguidance of the consumer - against the law) etc..

Isn't using the straw man counter argument a straw man argument in itself? I think my nan used rolled oats for her blood saussage, I remember the taste, it was good, irony, sweet - and I hated it after the second bite.. but the first bite, oh that loving first bite was heaven!

The cup argument is clearly invalid.... A cup cannot be full of opinions and speculations, it is a cup! It can be filled with air, and then it can be filled with a cup shaped liquid. I think what you're doing is an antropomorphisism. Next thing is that the cutesy cup will dance around and assist in the marriage of perfectly fine young women to hairy beasts.
