Also, took a wheel and tire to Belle tire to get it mounted to test fit on my fiances car...no charge. I had a shop charge me their $20 minimum fee and I gave them $40 because the crusty dude threw an old socket on the lathe to make a press tool and everything, local machine shops rule

Oh, how you joke, but it is actually true, though the percentages are much lower. quote:Everywhere but at home, American milk chocolate — specifically Hershey’s — is known for its tangy or sour flavor, produced by the use of milk that Mr. Landuyt refers to as “acidified.” Although Hershey’s process has never been made public (and a spokeswoman declined to comment on its techniques), experts speculate that Hershey’s puts its milk through controlled lipolysis, a process by which the fatty acids in the milk begin to break down. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/13/dining/13chocolate.html?&_r=0 spog fucked around with this message at 19:40 on Feb 29, 2016 |

People looked at me funny when I remarked Hersheys tasted like vomit. It was only years later that I found out it had butyric acid in it which makes up the stank from vom. Not about that as an ingredient in chocolate.

Yesterday, I tried to mow the lawn for the first time this season. On the plus side, the lawnmower stared up with little effort beyond fresh gas and a few extra pulls. For that matter, so did the weed whacker. On the minus side, the god damned handlebars fatigues and broke off where the round tube is flattened to attach them. And I'd just drilled a new hole on the bracket to raise them a bit for my comfort. I'm sure that the increase angle contributed to the stress on the bars, but I didn't modify them at all - just the bracket. Ticked me off something fierce, as I had just strayed the back yard, which was more grown up than the front. At least I got the front done before it broke. I'll fix it with some conduit or pipe later in the week, lengths I g the bars to raise them and return them to original angle at the same time. I did get all my tools out of the lovely little cheapie Craftman cabinet into my new big rear end Costco box, and cleaned up that part of the garage while I was at it. Plenty of room for more tools now. The little old one was overflowing. I also made a godawful mess trying to get a used rotary I've got to free up the apex seals and build compression. ATF and oil everywhere. ATF because it tends to dissolve carbon, and got exhausted out when the engine was turned over. Oil because I put oil I The sump since I was turning it over with the starter and didn't want to mess up the bearings. I forgot to loop the oil cooler line though, and puked oil all over the floor. At least the oil pump works. Still no compression though.

After some time (overnight or several days), the solution is filtered. The crude rennet that remains in the filtered solution can then be used to coagulate milk. About 1 g of this solution can normally coagulate 2 to 4 L of milk. YUM!

In answer to the original question: Why are meetings that aren't officially important (but in reality might well be) scheduled such that they're clashing with the heavier points of your workload that are critical, and against which your performance will be measured? And occasionally stuff you know is irrelevant, but you can't get out of, yet will still impact you for what you're officially "meant" to get done? Because your course is doing a good job of prepping you for what to expect if you become an engineer (or pretty much any other profession), probably.

Except, I think you're implying intent when there likely was none. Enourmo - exams or not, If you can find 10 minutes at the end of one class to run over and at least grab some cards, that, if anything will at least get you SOMETHING.

Enourmo posted:fair enough In order to go into academic administration, you have to have your head up your rear end at least a little bit. The person so low on the totem pole that they're scheduling recruiter visits has his or her head so far up his or her rear end that he or she re-tastes the free sandwiches scrounged from the conference room about 15 minutes after the lunch meeting ends. e. Cat Update: My idiot cat has Teeth Fall Out Syndrome (resorptive lesions caused by exposure to feline calicivirus), so we have More Exciting And Very Expensive Extractions to look forward to, and there's nothing we can do to stop it. On the good side, this will barely affect her quality of life, and even if all her teeth fall out she'll live a long life, fat and happy, gumming wet food.

Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick. I fully realize this post was made in jest but gotdrat son do you need to grow the gently caress up. I had some sympathy for you when I thought you had some real legit sadbrains but the more I see your posts the more I think you're whiny self absorbed skinned knee drama princess that would be all WHY EARTH WHY DID YOU BRUISE MY KNEE WHEN I FELL OH I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE and come running to the forums, wherever and whatever they may be, to complain about it. Now, so that this doesn't come across that I am an rear end in a top hat (which I know fully well that I am and can be a grade A rear end in a top hat), I do have a hearts full of sympathy and will help those in true need of it. But holy poo poo near every post you make is some sort of self pitying woe is me persecution bullshit about issues or problems that are result of environments YOU create. GUYS GUYS I THINK MY ROOMMATES ARE DEALING DRUGS WAAAAAH!!! Like, did you just pick a couple dudes off the street and say "Hey, wannabe roomies? Cool!" without knowing that said shitstains, do in fact, deal loving drugs? WAAAH I CAN'T GO TO A JOB INTERVIEW (despite still being..what...a junior) BECAUSE MY INCONSIDERATE PROFESSORS HAVE SCHEDULED MIDTERMS OH I THINK I'LL BLOW MY HEAD OFF BECAUSE THAT'S FUNNY, AMIRITE. Suck it up, buttercup. Grow a set.
