Terpz finally got units in! Mine shipped today! Woohoo!

You are presenting data without context, which in data analysis circles is considered a form of dishonesty. I assume you do not have a background in statistics, and that this is just incomplete, not disingenuous. To provide the context you do not - African Americans are 16% of the US...

If the pepper spray hit them, they should also contact a local attorney and the ACLU. I can make an argument for civil assault damages being owed by the cop to the victim. Unfortunately, since a string of SCOTUS decisions, it's really hard to prove a pattern of behavior like this that...

They'd been shopping it around to multiple networks, but word is the Constantine TV show is now officially dead. Pisses me off. Thought it was far more accurate than Gotham, and they had been teasing the Spectre, originally a Jerry Siegel Golden Age character who now has connections to Green...

That did look like a hawking glove to me. And it turns out one of the most famous sporting hawks in modern history was named Parachute. Plus flying devices, including drones carrying parachuted loads, are used in training hawks. Sounds like too much coincidence to me.

Is that dude hawking from a parasail of some kind? WTF? And I thought FC had some odd people.

Oooh, escargot!! This fella belongs in some garlic-Chartreuse butter.

Sorry to bring the heavy, but the animals in Flipper were not happy at all. One of the last ones -one of the final dolphins from the TV show - is among the earliest known apparent suicides of an animal in captivity. Her former trainer, Ric O'Barry, went on to help start the dolphin project and...

You are absolutely right. Especially with a nice dipping sauce, shoe leather can be eaten deep-fried if it's tenderized first. I used to have no patience for tofu at all and it is still no favorite (actually prefer tempeh). Two dishes changed my hatred - a glorious tofu stuffed with minced...

A tasty snack- took some of the sherry and tamari-soaked smoked tofu, dipped it in a light egg wash, deep fried it. Served with my version of 3-2-1 - three parts tamari, two parts rice wine vinegar, one part sugar, plus a little grated ginger and white pepper. Normally do the smoked tofu for...

There was a Puck Ghiradelli pudding mix that was good for instant. Haven't seen it in a while, but that's what I assumed you were talking about. Never seen his recipe for fresh pudding. I'm not generally a fan of Puck, but his desserts are his best stuff. Overall I personally prefer Charlie...

Puck pudding is very good. But you'd be shocked how easy it is to make your own pudding from scratch, and IMO that is the best.

My first new additions in a while. Neither technically knives, but related. First is a blade, a United Cutlery naginata Second was a real score- the smith had made this custom 14mm steel punching buckler for a dude who then didn't have the money to pay it off. So I got it mad cheap. May...

Welcome to the Ancient Illuminated Bavarian Order of OG Tickers (AI-BOOG-T)! Salaam! Ewigge Blumenkraft! Ewigge Hanfekraft! You have seen the Fnords!

Had a special treat for dinner. For the first time in years, there were steamers - my favorite clams- at my local seafood shop. Got a pound and a half, brought them home and steamed them in just water and garlic. Served with a reduction of the steaming fluid, and some lemon and horseradish...

According to Kinja Deals, the Amazon offer sold out. http://deals.kinja.com/start-sous-vide-cooking-today-for-under-100-with-this-1708144644 EDIT: found a deal - the newer version of the Anova, base price is $179, but with promo code LUVDAD it's $50 off. Not $99, but not a huge amount more...

I saw it yesterday on Amazon for $99 as well. Unfortunately I am guessing it was a May sale, and now that it's June it isn't happening. That happened to me with a Kitchen Aid mixer I was looking at on Amazon- I delayed ordering, and when the month flipped over it was $130 more than it had been...

Hmm. Never even occurred to me to do a sous-vide decarb dry.

Went so nuts at the con this weekend I forgot some of what I boight. Forgot I got this thing - for the first time in my experience, a glass blower was at a comics con. She had all sorts of stuff- Zelda sword dabbers, R2D2 nails, Star Trek oil dishes. She is just starting to make water tools...
