Deep Funk

Playing some Cream today.

Thanks Ginger for making the music of my youth. It has never grown old.

RIP Ginger, big Cream fan. I was honestly starting to think he was immortal.

*shudders* I could never work in medicine.

Once while prepping avocados the pit broke in ½ flat with the surface of the fruit. So I gently tried to stab it with tip of the chef's knife. It wouldn't budge, so stabbed harder. It rotated, the knife went thru the fruit and into flesh just below the webbing of fingers 3 & 4. Hello urgent care.

Restaurants taught me to deal with burns well enough, but I don't like cuts.

Love to be a healthcare consumer with choices. Shop around. Discount amputation at Rick's Auto Body or reenact your own scene from Saw at independent urgent care? It's up to you!

Ha! My friend is also a rancher and I’ve found rancher-doctors to be a different breed. There’s an ob/gyn my wife worked with who is the biggest redneck & looks the part. He told my wife he was already delivering calves w/o going to school for it so he might as well make some money doing the same thing with human babies.

The money still goes somewhere - someone has to receive it, it doesn't just disappear into thin air. Instead of subsidizing oil and gas companies, perhaps redirect that money towards building electrolytic hydrogen plants, etc.

A 16-year old with ideals, good. Fast forward and being an adult comes into play. If you still have the same ideals make sure you have the wallet. Things have to change but making noise is not the same as voting with your wallet. Ditch the fancy MacBooks and cheap fashion, start recycling and maintaining your belongings. Quality has a price...

Climate change is a Chinese hoax. Everybody knows this.

@crazychile and no hot frying pan to get whacked over the head with

And the food usually tastes better than vinyl.

Still improving my Aglio e Oglio. Extra virgin olive oil makes a subtle difference...

Good luck mate! Me too, started last week (access to university, 25+ years old) for electronic engineering, asked for working hours reduction (30 hrs instead of 39 per week) to be able to keep up. A refreshing and fullfilling experience

Ai vapianoh!

Va' piano (go slowly)

One Italian dude literally reacted, (phonetically): "hai va'pianoh criminale!" Too funny...

I was just thinking, it totally makes sense why Tool's new album dethroned Taylor Swift's at #1. Tool fans still buy albums.

The CD ritual isn't all that different from the vinyl one, at least in spirit if not also in practice. Both can be very satisfying :)

I love my 7002, it's just different enough from the SKX to be more awesome!! Crown at 4 o'clock which gives it a slightly slimmer profile, date only vs day/date and square vs oval indices.

Need to post my Turtle re-issue in the watch thread. Have had it for a little over a year.. it's my first mech. LOVE IT. The pad and raised bezel means business. Dig the (authentic) tool-y look and functionality.. looks classy too.

Lost a SKX171 modded with a Murphy bezel due to theft. Maybe I should recreate it before they disappear.

Sea Dweller is COOLEST...

Bummer! I don't own one, but they are pretty rad. With Seiko also discontinuing many of their entry-level watches with the 6R15 movement, they don't seem to represent the same bang-for-your-buck that they used to.

The seiko mini turtle is a good alternative to the SKX.

It doesn't fit at all.

Here hard cheese is a more common spice on pasta than salt is, this and a couple of other spicy ones are the exceptions.

Pecorino is acceptable on arrabbiata, so long as you get the one that is itself effectively strong enough to taste spicy.

I actually prefer rocket and ricotta to top it off. Yes, my favourite recipe is quite off...

I made fresh pasta and this dish for my now wife early when we were dating (and a million times since). She claims it was a big factor in realizing I was worth keeping around. I've still not mastered it, but I'm fond of it for obvious reasons.

If it'll make you feel better, we can strangle ojneg on a rope of his own guts. He probably won't like it!
Or we can write him a sternly written letter and sign it by hand.
Either one. Pm me.

I don't know the cause of this upset, and I am not going to go looking for it. It's a community: it takes all sorts. And hey, just because someone is a Trump supporter or a Brexit supporter doesn't mean they have nothing that I can't talk to them about. Heck, I even make friends with rich people in the audio community!

I've seen one or two non-intelligent posts lately. But hey, the contents (or lack of) of that person's brain is their problem not mine.

That band just makes me think of Austin Powers.

Here in Finland they had a news bulletin in Latin for over 30 years.

This week I'm reading particle physics on Wikipedia; fun and so impractical.

…unless you're writing a new game engine. Or spacecraft simulations. Or ballistics study. Or high explosives. Or the impact of gamma rays on radioisotopes used in medicine. Or nuclear energy.

Or what happens to water when you drop a rock into it.

So, maybe not so impractical?

I envy my friends who find personal financial planning intrinsically interesting.

Make it a mental game where you want to maximise cash-flow after taxes. Keeps you busy...

Damn... I hated it, found nothing as boring, only wanted to spend it there and then, and now... I'm not rich.

Thank goodness the company-pension minimum contribution was not optional. But sadly, I ignored all the good advice to pay more.
