Tomorrow, I will be showing this to a professional electrician and asking him to maybe consider fixing it. -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 22, 15:42 [flickr] 17
- Down here, that would not have passed inspection when you bought the place. -- nm - Spawn Apr 22, 15:46 2
  - Ours did. Depends on jurisdiction. - spamlet Apr 22, 16:01
  - The home inspector just said that the lights needed junction boxes, did not comment on the wiring -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 15:50
- that pic sucks ass -- nm - CQ Apr 22, 15:44 2

  - hmm. fixed. -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 22, 15:44 [flickr] 9
    - that would not be allowed here, but a quick fix, you might want to find a couple projects to cover minimums -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 22, 16:08 1
      - Yes, we've got that covered. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 16:10
    - That's dangerous? *looks around* Nothing to see here. Nothing at all. - Krusty Apr 22, 15:59 3

        I thought I was missing something. Hopefully it can get fixed easily and on the cheap. -- nm - Krusty Apr 22, 16:05 1
        
        It's sort of a crawlspace, so there won't be much ancillary repair work - just the actual wiring -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 16:07
    - Better! And yes, scary. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 22, 15:46
    - yeah, that's suspect -- nm - CQ Apr 22, 15:45 1

From the conversation last week about whole wheat vs white pasta/rice - it surprises me that so many of you dislike the whole wheat versions that much - kelly Apr 22, 15:22 28
- I rarely buy anything that *isn't* whole wheat any more...except the occasional loaf of sourdough bread. -- nm - Meg Apr 22, 16:36 1
  - we get a semi whole wheat, well its whole wheat but tastes/texture like regular artisian baked bread -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 22, 17:29
- The whole wheat pasta used to be very tough no matter how much you cooked it. The texture is a lot better now. -- nm - tl Apr 22, 15:51
- have we talked about corn pasta? because I actually *love* that. -- nm - amanda Apr 22, 15:47
- Here's the thing. Whole wheat anything sucks moose sauce. -- nm - CQ Apr 22, 15:40 3
  - whole wheat bread actually has flavour. - Reagen Apr 22, 15:42 2
    - Does it? I like multigrain bread, but plain whole wheat is the worst of breads -- nm - Roger More Apr 22, 16:34
    - whole wheat pasta is an effin joke. -- nm - CQ Apr 22, 15:46
- Yes, I like whole wheat pasta, unless I want a comfort food vibe. Then it better be white - con_carne Apr 22, 15:38
- I tried a few and they're awful. They taste undercooked. I thought the elbows with cheese would work or spaghetti with sauce but neither was good to - Krusty Apr 22, 15:32 13
  - As good as my witness I could hear Nonni screaming from the grave when I tried some of that stuff. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 22, 15:33 12
    - Haha! -- nm - Krusty Apr 22, 15:40
    - good god. - Mel Profit Apr 22, 15:34 10
      - The texture is too off for me. -- nm - Krusty Apr 22, 15:40 8
        
        I guess I haven't eaten enough white pasta to really notice a difference in texture. -- nm - kelly Apr 22, 15:43 6
        
        I really wish I liked it because it's a healthier/better option than white pasta. - Krusty Apr 22, 15:52 5
        
        I eat a lot of pasta. but I've moved to the organic stuff that tastes great and isn't filled with crap. Tried Rice Spagetthi pasta... - Remlik Apr 22, 16:04 1
        
        Haha. I don't eat it as much these days. Ravioli once a week and ziti or spaghetti as well. - Krusty Apr 22, 16:11
        
        There's white pasta different grains and stuff added that's better nutritionally but not too different in texture. - tl Apr 22, 16:01 2
        
        I'll check them out, thanks! -- nm - Krusty Apr 22, 16:06

  - The railway line behind the rock hill behind my house ... has been quiet for two years now. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 15:42 2
    - for some reason, trains have a thing about crossing bodies of water -- nm - zork Apr 22, 15:48 1
      - There's a whole rail line on Vancouver Island. It's just dormant at the moment for funding reasons. -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 22, 16:00 [flickr]
  - too true -- nm - zork Apr 22, 15:17
- also today: Announcement of new antiterrorism bill and/or funding. So it could all just be Putin-esque theatrics from Harper. - Beryllium Apr 22, 15:13
Hey Meg, do you mostly use a food dehydrator or your oven to make the jerky? Is there one method you prefer? -- nm - kelly Apr 22, 15:09 3
- I use a dehydrator - originally the 'as seen on TV' model but that one wore out and a friend donated one of hers. This is the recipe I use.... - Meg Apr 22, 15:51 2
  - Thanks! I'm looking into getting one mainly for fruit - Nathan loves fruit and I feel like it would be a better on the go snack than half of what he - kelly Apr 22, 16:13 1
    - Right, I've used it for fruit in the past. Pretty much anything sliced thin works fine...dip bananas in a little lemon juice. They don't get/stay as - Meg Apr 22, 16:33
So Drew Rosenhaus is upset that Jay-Z "Stole" one of his clients? Somehting about agents shouldn't be celebrities. That's rich -- nm - CQ Apr 22, 14:52 5
- i would find it harder to take Jay Z serious as an agent across the table than Drew Rosenhaus -- nm - charlie Apr 22, 14:55 1
  - but it's not really Jay-Z. It's CAA. -- nm - CQ Apr 22, 14:57
- Pot meet kettle. Kettle meet pot. -- nm - Krusty Apr 22, 14:54 2
  - Translation: So Drew Rosenhaus is upset that Jay-Z "Stole" one of his clients? Something about agents shouldn't be bigger celebrities than him. -- nm - Spawn Apr 22, 16:17 1
    - Exactly. -- nm - Krusty Apr 22, 16:29
is it a gentlemen's agreement among news media to not report on WBC? the news article from the san fran chron only mentions a 'protestor' who was ... - zeitgeist Apr 22, 14:51 4
- interesting, because I always hear about the threat but not where they're really going to be... - Mel Profit Apr 22, 14:53 2
  - they have been known to duck out of situations where the level of threaten violence was serious, and it was mentioned Dorchester don't fuck around... - zeitgeist Apr 22, 15:02 1
    - yeah...showing up there would not have been a healthy choice. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 22, 15:04
- God, I hope so. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 14:51
comingsoon.net already put the fund raiser up for Ed on twitter so that's good. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 22, 14:49 8

  - Or the ST group on Facebook? -- nm - spamlet Apr 22, 15:18 1
    - would it help to make an FB page for him? - zork Apr 22, 15:27
  - It's been posted there (that's where I got the fundraiser link from) -- nm - Roger More Apr 22, 14:57 4
    - Too bad Ed himself still can not post there. -- nm - Spawn Apr 22, 15:14 3
      - I think he can, it's more that he chooses not to. Some days, I think that's the right choice (for anyone) -- nm - Roger More Apr 22, 15:20 2
        
        no - Spawn Apr 22, 15:22 1
        
        Huh, that's a real shame (my mistake) -- nm - Roger More Apr 22, 15:40
