    Alright

  2. Not being a poor, I use AirPods and they work without issue.
  3. nothing fancy - morton and stork or whatever, I think 12". I could easily buy a nicer pan if that helped out, but I don't think it's likely that I'll get her to stop using the high heat setting on our stove.
  4. I figured the cutting board could serve the purpose of the 2x4 here - put heated pan upside down on flat surface, put cutting board on top, hammer cutting board to flatten out the bottom of the pan? I tried to teach my wife the rules about my wusthof chefs knife, which was the first decent thing I bought when I started my first big boy job in my first apartment, and she could not seem to get it. We fought twice before I told her to pick a knife and I’d buy it for her and she can’t ever touch my knife again. That solved that problem but won’t work for replacing the teflon with carbon steel.
  5. Write something under 300 characters?
  6. it's a bummer not knowing. it ultimately doesn't matter I suppose, but having loved people for a time in your life, and then not knowing the circumstances of their death or just losing touch and not even knowing if they're still around, it's a hard part of recovery. And even more generally the suddenness of it sometimes. I suppose I'm not as well rounded as I like to consider myself to be - I've just made the connection that the little serenity prayer snippet that is so central to how I've been able to manage myself in recovery is essentially the core of stoic philosophy. The dichotomy of control. There was a conversation a while back in a different thread where I was talking about wanting to read some stoic philosophy, I've dipped into it a bit more and taken aback at how much I didn't realize that this is what I've worked so hard to incorporate into my every day. I've added "How to Think Like a Roman Emperor" into my reading list, I'll report back if I find it useful in this context.
  7. Yeah I’m going to use one of those Epicurious cutting boards and a mallet to hammer it out. Problem is going to be if my wife will stop blasting it. I do like it a lot, I’ve found it fairly easy to cook on.
  8. Botch? Happens all the time. my wife got me a carbon steel pan for Christmas. My wife also blasts every pan with high heat on our glass top stove and it is already warped. I otherwise like the pan - any good carbon steel recs that hold their shape a bit better?
  9. Makes people who praise Jesus the loudest with their words serve Satan with their actions every day. Fucked up indeed.
  10. my knife can blast through a shoe with one motion
  11. Who among us can judge
  12. Here’s one of those epicurean boards and our rubber board. The epicurean board is 2 years old and needs to be tossed, I may just go ahead and replace the two that we have. Like wooden or plastic boards, they eventually get fuzzy and are a hazard. Kinda hard to take a picture of the rubber board but I need to sand it - that’s about 3 or 4 years of use, it has a lot of wear, it doesn’t really do that thing.
  13. Epicurean makes (or I guess probably brands and sells) those same richlite boards https://www.amazon.com/Epicurean-Kitchen-Cutting-Board-Natural/dp/B0008221BG/ref=asc_df_B0008221BG?mcid=323699b5123838b0b975233072881386&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693711674149&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1314856935682145422&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9009718&hvtargid=pla-307285155066&th=1 My favorite are these rubber cutting boards https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000KL7QA6/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?pd_rd_i=B000KL7QA6&pd_rd_w=fya6K&content-id=amzn1.sym.8c2f9165-8e93-42a1-8313-73d3809141a2&pf_rd_p=8c2f9165-8e93-42a1-8313-73d3809141a2&pf_rd_r=Y83XY8F7J6SD36M9VH94&pd_rd_wg=wLwq9&pd_rd_r=819d35a3-ecaa-4bb6-92e0-134b51facaa2&s=industrial&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWw&th=1 soft/easy on knives and dry quickly. We have a couple of those epicurean guys that my wife likes to use (because she can throw them in the dishwasher) but I always pull out the rubber board.
  14. Do you ever start to let on to your wife how much of a degenerate internetist you’ve spent your life being and only just catch yourself?
  15. Taking the trip down memory lane of 10,000 Burpees in 2023. For me, a side effect of this was that it made me really pay attention to wtf I was doing that was hurting my back. I ended up moving my xbox into my office with the aeron chair after realizing that sitting on the game room couch for any length of time was making my back sore. Past that, I didn't struggle with injuries, but the motivation to continue to do this every single day was hard. I did 15 in the morning and 15 in the evening, and even though it was only... under a minute? doing burpees sucks and it sucked every time. trying to finish my chores in the evening or get ready in the morning and the... oh fuck right, the burpees. I'll be curious if you have the same struggle - it seems like even if you get to where you can rattle off 100 pushups, it'll suck to have to do that.
  16. I’m a fairly passive listener of Sarah Shook and the Disarmers but just saw this - breaking up the band, I assume she’ll continue solo or put together some new group
  17. We need a spreadsheet
  18. We need true weirdos in the world. Hope David Byrne is ok.
  19. I've got my strat off the rack and next to my desk right now. Everybody should have a good strat. That seems like a good price too. I guess part of getting old is remarking on the effects of inflation but I was googling the other day to double check my recollection that when I got my '98 American Standard the market rate was below $1000. And I guess now the equivalent is the.... American Professional II, which is damn near $2k? Anyways, great guitar, olympic white is a great color although you almost need a left handed bridge. Tortoiseshell would look good, mint or... gold might look good? The guard on your big apple strat is a dark tortoiseshell right?
  20. What is your goal - to supplement her band instruction because the band program isn’t great? To have her learn theory to …. be her best musician self? Has she expressed interest in theory specifically? If it’s just the first thing, I’d shell out for lessons. Learning theory is a bit like… learning to diagram sentences and maybe spell really well. You kinda need to do it a bit to learn the instrument, but if you’re trying to dive in deep, the ultimate goal might inform how you’d go about doing it.
  21. I’m kinda surprised Sam Torn is still alive. He was old when I was a kid.
  22. I always 1000% assumed that decals were underneath a layer of something? I guess not always, or maybe just that stuff is that fragile.
  23. these are load bearing teles I just did the same googling I did a while back that indicates that string swings (and Hercules)’are generally considered to be safe for nitro. I would do the exact same thing with a high value vintage guitar but I’m remaining comfortable with my Gibsons on the hanger. i did fuck in the headstock of my J45 a bit with a capo. Stupid stupid. I saw a video where Isbell lamented fixing up the fender decal on a vintage tele by leaving a snark on there.
