Interviews on the phone today went well, at least from my warped perspective of the interviewee, and it both cases the people I talked with liked what I was bringing to the table or at least gave that impression. The insurance one turns out to have a lot more to it than the previous quick calls and emails, plus the job description I originally applied to, indicated is involved, which isn't a huge issue but does give me a bit of pause. I think I could do it all, but it'd be taking on a lot in a short period and a lot more work. However, it'd be a very comfortable salary and give me much better options in the future, which keeps me hoping I keep moving forward in the process, and I should be hearing back about that next step in the next week or so. The smaller, specialty company one felt really good as well, and the work is much closer to stuff I've done in the past so it'd probably be an easier transition and I think I'm more likely to get an offer. In fact, as I was typing this, the outside recruiter already got called by them to set up a video interview, which will be on Thursday, so hey, that's quick and a really good sign! The more I think about it, I like the idea of it, but their time off policy isn't great, although admittedly I'm coming from a place that used to be insanely open in that regard. The pay on this hasn't come up yet, but from what the recruiter indicated is it'd still be hourly at a rate that'd be a good increase over what I'm currently making (By about 20-25%) but a lot less than what the insurance place would be (Which would be like a 40% bump), and I'd be just on the edge of being able to start looking toward a decent place of my own. This has been Fartknocker's Boring Job Update #3. Update your spreadsheets accordingly. What the gently caress?! As someone who mostly lives in an area with the power lines buried and will never see snow, does anything like that happen with any regularity in snow or elevated lines?

I live just below the snowbelt (like 30-50 miles south of the range of Great Lakes lake effect snows), it's a region where everything is still on poles, but I have never seen anything like that in my life

the case against Alton Brown, if you're deciding whether to still like him or not. He voted Biden/Harris after a lifetime of voting R... but he also joked about the holocaust, thinks the frugal gourmet (a pedophile molester) is fine because he doesn't "care what he did in his personal life", and otherwise has an aggro rear end in a top hat personality on Twitter and elsewhere. I've learned a ton from watching his show but I'm kinda done with him now. Not like "oh he should be canceled," I just can't enjoy it any more and there's other good sources for how to cook.

As an engineering student who suddenly realized I should learn how to cook for myself in 2004, Good Eats was a god-send. At this point I have my own copy of On Food and Cooking, and can figure things out from other sources if I need to.

The Frugal Gourmet being a sex monster depressed me so much. I learned how to make omelets from his show when I was just a tiny thing growing up in Chicago. I think I still actually have one of his cookbooks in a box somewhere in my extra bedroom.

Timby posted:Good Eats and No Reservations / Parts Unknown are absolutely in large part responsible for my love of cooking, even if Alton crawled entirely too far up his own rear end sometimes on Good Eats (he's got some recipes that are just completely absurd in their complexity, and his weird hatred of "unitaskers" is the strangest hill to die on). I learned so much about cooking technique from Brown, and so much about how to really appreciate different cuisines from Bourdain. I will probably mourn the loss of Bourdain for the rest of my life. I was a huge fan of all his work. One of the first inklings I had that my wife was a keeper was when she got us tickets to a Bourdain live show at the the local performing arts center. Just a genuine icon. Leperflesh posted:the case against Alton Brown, if you're deciding whether to still like him or not.

I'm pretty good at compartmentalizing (probably how I've been able to do my job for over a decade) so yeah, he's a dickhead but Good Eats is a well made show with really good information and has transformed a lot of my cooking techniques. I'm not a chef by any stretch but I can do a lot of good basic things to keep the meals turning in the house and I owe a lot of that to Alton. I can also still watch Kevin Spacey movies even though he's a monster. I'm generally fine separating people from their works.

I've made Alton Brown's egg nog recipe 3 years running, but that's about the extent I've done with the guy, and will probably try something different this year. Seems like a lot of celebrity chefs have demons. Next you're gonna tell me Morimoto has a dog fighting ring or something.

Gaetz has a rock where his brain is supposed to be but this isn't the craziest idea. I think Florida is the unofficial seat of the GOP while Trump lives there, and DeSantis could probably bribe Trump with enough favors to get something resembling an endorsement and maybe even a promise that Trump won't just run himself (lol) That said a hypothetical President DeSantis would be a loving disaster, and not even a funny one at that.

I don't really recall too many knocks on him, outside of him thinking vegans were smug assholes who were in it for the attention, and frequently body-slamming other TV food personalities in his writing and on his shows.

Oh yeah, forgot this came in the other day from my wifes surgery. Go ahead and cue up god bless America, etc Note we owed $1200 out of pocket, the $72 was what was left after that. It would have been $1800 if we hadn't been able to pay the cash up front and had to do payments. Her surgery cost more than our goddamn house.

Ehud posted:Guy Fieri is the only morally righteous food guy. Guy Fieri story: When I lived in Baltimore, I lived a block away from a corner diner that was featured on Triple D, called the G & A Restaurant. I actually ate there every almost Saturday for lunch during that year and got to know the owner pretty well. One day when I had come in for a late lunch and the place was slow, I asked the owner, Andy, what it was like to have the show come in. He said that it was kind of chaotic, because the crew came in a day early to get all of their B-roll and establishing footage, and that Fieri was really high-strung when he was actually on-camera, but otherwise he was the nicest dude ever. Insisted that all of the crew get fed and then some, posed for photos with everyone, and hung behind and just bullshitted with people for hours after shooting was actually completed. By all accounts, Fieri is a legitimately cool dude.
