A few pieces of info: 1. I have a cracked rib. 2. Apparently COVID testing (both nasal swab for virus and antibody testing) are available across NYC - ty97 May 13, 16:51 4
- Cuomo pushed very hard for testing, it's the one area where testing is decent. Thank the governor. Also, the rib. - loosilu May 13, 16:53 2
  - Hard enough to break a rib, apparently. -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 17:22

  - Are you going to try Almond Flour next? -- nm - Qale May 13, 17:09
  - I don't think I ever tried rice flour. That should be interesting. -- nm - loosilu May 13, 16:32 8
    - Photo in 4 minutes! It is almost done. Had to use cookie sheet dough was too loose for our perforated pizza tray. -- nm* - Andie May 13, 16:34 7
      - Pic! Definitely a cracker-like flavour to crust. -- (pic) - Andie May 13, 16:39 [Attachment] 5
        
        oooh, I think I see yellow peppers, mushrooms, artichokes, sundried tomatoes? that looks awesome. -- nm - loosilu May 13, 16:43 4
        
        Yep. Toppings are great. Crust is meh. -- nm - Andie May 13, 16:45 3
        
        I would have said toss the flour, but I actually might try it as a coating for meat before I grill it. -- nm - loosilu May 13, 16:51 2
        
        we should test the ST cooks for ideas of how to use rice flour besides meat coating like you say and the ever obvious ad water to make noodles. -- nm - Peglegpete May 13, 16:57
        
        It's excellent for breading chicken. -- nm - Reagen May 13, 16:56

the survivor finale is tonight and there's no new tv for like a year. I'm thinking of cutting the cord till survivor comes back. your thoughts? -- nm - amanda May 13, 15:43 7
- Cut all except Hulu and Amazon I imagine. I feel like the number of pharmaceutical ads is up lately and that makes me want to quit tv. -- nm - Max May 13, 15:55
- I generally gave up on TV awhile ago. Without live sports, I've completely given up on it. - JD May 13, 15:47
- Ive started my Community re-watch! -- nm - Jovian May 13, 15:46 2
  - I won Dungeons and Dragons. And it was Advanced! -- nm - Beaker May 13, 15:49
  - Me too. Just finished the paintball episode in Year 1...still so good -- nm - Flavorize May 13, 15:47
- lots of stuff outside cable. Streaming always has new stuff -- nm - Beaker May 13, 15:45
- I keep finding so much stuff on Hulu that I think I could live with that alone for a good while -- nm - prayformojo May 13, 15:45

- The whole demo is truly beautiful. (NM) - Marlowe May 13, 16:22
I'm in the market for a new tablet, which would basically just be for streaming TV and e-reader purposes. The Kindle Fires are fine for that, yes? -- nm - Reagen May 13, 15:34 26
- I’d recommend getting the entry-level iPad. And if you don’t want new, get a used 5th or 6th gen. But only from a reputable source. -- nm - Qale May 13, 17:30 1
  - *cold stare* -- nm - Reagen May 13, 17:33
- Kindle Fire's won't run Vudu. -- nm - Remlik May 13, 16:50 1
  - another thing that doesn't exist in Canada. -- nm - Reagen May 13, 17:13
- (If I don't want a Fire, where am I looking?) -- nm - Reagen May 13, 15:55 14
  - Budget? -- nm - Shaun May 13, 17:22 2
    - up to 300 but don't need to spend that if I don't have to. -- nm - Reagen May 13, 17:33 1
      - I'd say just get the best Fire tablet and sideload the Google Play store on it. -- nm - Shaun May 13, 17:41
  - If you don't want an Ipad, definitely get a Fire. -- nm - David May 13, 16:24 5
    - (Though I'm not able to watch YouTube TV on the Fire, FYI.) -- nm - Dark Callisto May 13, 16:32 4
      - not available in Canada anyway. -- nm - Reagen May 13, 16:42
      - Or use any other Google app. -- nm - Ender May 13, 16:39 2
        
        The jailbreak thing seems simple - I've done it multiple times for apps that aren't on the Play Store for my phone. -- nm - Reagen May 13, 16:42 1
        
        It's foolishly easy to sideload the Google Play Store onto a Fire tablet. -- nm - Shaun May 13, 17:23
  - I’ve heard android tablets are kind of a mess tbh. Here’s PCMAG with a roundup -- (link) - spamlet May 13, 16:02 2
    - My current one is a Tab E which is a hot mess at this point. -- nm - Reagen May 13, 16:04 1
      - I posted the jailbreak below. If I was going to get an android tablet that’s honestly the route I’d go. -- nm - spamlet May 13, 16:06
  - The Galaxy Tab(s), I guess? Assuming you don't want to pay the Apple tax - JD May 13, 15:59 1
    - Yes, Apple is out. -- nm - Reagen May 13, 16:00
- If you can still jailbreak them I’d highly recommend doing that to get the entire play store. We did that and it’s been running well for years. -- nm - spamlet May 13, 15:47 1
  - Looks like jailbreak is still an option. The APK method is the one we used and it was fairly simple. -- (link) - spamlet May 13, 16:04
- I won't be buying another fire. Fed up with their closed app ecosystem. -- nm - Ender May 13, 15:42 2
  - The Amazon ecosystem? Or closed systems in general? -- nm - JD May 13, 15:44 1
    - The Amazon ecosystem. Third party support is absolutely subpar. -- nm - Ender May 13, 16:38
- The Fire HD 8s seem to do that just fine. -- nm - Shaun May 13, 15:38
- I have a kindle fire and find the speaker totally inadequate. -- nm - amanda May 13, 15:35
Inigo, from B2, coup is not the correct word or explanation of what is happening. It is an undermining of the basic institutions and norms of - pmb May 13, 15:26 2
- and what makes it even more chilling is they have now fully realized its their only way to hold onto power. -- (edited) - Jovian May 13, 15:40 1

Ya know, I always had an issue with Alien 3. But it is a quite excellent Alien flick. - Jovian May 13, 14:45 9
- The illogic of the way the infection/morphing happens has now back-ruined the entire franchise for me. -- nm - Max May 13, 15:11
- I always had an issue with people who think Aliens is superior to Alien. (spoils) - Malcolm Bright May 13, 14:47 7
  - Word -- nm - JaxSean May 13, 14:59
  - Well I think they are on even ground. Alien may be the best thriller ever made, whereas Aliens may be the best action flick ever made. -- nm - Jovian May 13, 14:53 1
    - Both of these assertions are wrong! But not by a hell of a lot. -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 14:57
  - I prefer Aliens to Alien—same as Terminator 2 to Terminator. Both originals are thrillers, compared to their sci-fi, popcorn action sequels. - Flavorize May 13, 14:53 3
    - Alien is not a thriller. It is a horror movie. A claustrophobic, slowly drawing one in, horror film -- nm - JD May 13, 15:23 1
      - True -- nm - Flavorize May 13, 15:45
    - agreed -- nm - Beaker May 13, 15:00
Have we discussed this? No chance of Trick or Treating this year, right? -- nm - Andie May 13, 14:40 9
- "Look at you all, you're all so cute. A cat, a werewolf, and-" "I'm a virus!" *SPRAY* -- nm - Max May 13, 15:59
- Oof—you’re right. Of course, that also means Halloween is getting politicized, this year. - Flavorize May 13, 14:56
- It's been very different the last 10 years, but I could see it happening in the same mall / trunk-or-treat / leave the candy on the doorstep way. -- nm - JaxSean May 13, 14:46 2
  - I wouldnt want the candy. So. Much. Touching. Sure, you can sterilize, or leave, but kids will touch stuff. -- (edited) - Andie May 13, 14:51 1
    - yeah -- nm - prayformojo May 13, 15:32
- Well, everyone does wear masks. - loosilu May 13, 14:43 1
  - kids just open their bags, or hold up their plastic pumpkin pails, people toss a wrapped candy or two in, shouldn't be a problem to disinfect, or ... - zeitgeist May 13, 14:46
- I even invested in a new costume...but one that would work well with a mask (marvin the martian, I bought a roman/trojan helmet) -- nm - zeitgeist May 13, 14:43
- Only the 1% chance that there's a cure or herd immunity. -- nm - David May 13, 14:41
Holy shit. I thought my ketchup was a funny color. I looked at the expiration date. 2015. How did I even manage to do this??? Ketchup! -- nm - loosilu May 13, 14:40 5
- whenever I remember I put my own dates on condiments I rarely use and may be around for years like ketchup or salad dressing. -- nm - Peglegpete May 13, 14:49
- I bet it's probably still fine, too. -- nm - JaxSean May 13, 14:46
- They (Heinz) made purple ketchup one time. I did not partake. -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 14:46
- and you were worried about a virus -- nm - zeitgeist May 13, 14:44 1
  - My PANTRY is trying to kill me. -- nm - loosilu May 13, 14:45
Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull has COPD -- (link) - Peglegpete May 13, 14:35 1
