so the building buzzer rings to my cell phone because we don't have a land line. my phone just rang and it was the building door... - Andie Jun 25, 12:33 4
- The call is coming from inside the building! -- nm - jnine13 Jun 25, 12:36
- How up-to-date is your homeowner insurance? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 25, 12:35 2
  - totally! (and, i can't imagine what he could get to just being in the main hallways... -- nm - Andie Jun 25, 12:36 1
    - You've seen Leverage, right? Maybe it's just an entrance scam leading up to some other scam. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 12:49

Andie, if you are making ribs in the oven, I suggest letting them soak in Coke - groiny Jun 25, 12:24 15
- What type of taste does this add? - Will Hunting Jun 25, 12:25 9
  - A good one, based on the reaction one of my roasts got from you. :) -- nm - kelly Jun 25, 12:35
  - a bit sweet, but it tenderizes the meat so it falls off the bone when cooked. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 25, 12:33
  - generically sweet.. it's a good way to tenderize. a lot of brisket recipes call for adding some coke. -- nm - colin Jun 25, 12:28
  - coke is sugar + cinnamon + vanilla + citrus. Not terribly different from any given marinade I think? -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 12:27
  - isn't there a method of cooking a whole chicken with coke (or sprite, etc?) i imagine i adds sweetness and a crispiness. -- nm - Andie Jun 25, 12:27 4
    - here's one, for turkey. -- (link) - Roger More Jun 25, 12:30
    - classic Lileks: Cooking with 7up. -- (link) - loosilu Jun 25, 12:28
    - beer chicken. you stand it up on a can of beer so the beer evaporates into the chicken -- nm - colin Jun 25, 12:27 1
      - she'll hate me but - zork Jun 25, 12:29
- Nah, just boil off the alcohol in a Guinness and douse them with that. -- nm - Shaun Jun 25, 12:25 1
  - why bother boiling it off? -- nm - znufrii Jun 25, 12:26
- Shaun also suggested cooking them in dark beer. I have so many options! -- nm - Andie Jun 25, 12:25 1
  - I made ribs on Monday - cut up into individual ribs and fried, then cooked in white wine and orange juice, and then baked in the oven with a tomato - Roger More Jun 25, 12:26
- blech -- nm - zork Jun 25, 12:24
More school talk: online programs - yea or nay? - kelly Jun 25, 12:23 15
- it didn't work out well for me at all. -- nm - znufrii Jun 25, 12:35
- That's what I did. I really liked it - although you don't get any interaction if things are tough. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 25, 12:34
- At my school, the online courses are known to be harder, because they are necessarily open book. - con_carne Jun 25, 12:32 3
  - My online Biology (!) class, the tests were hella hard, even though they were open book. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 25, 12:35 1
    - couldn't you just google/wiki everything? -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 25, 12:36
  - Anyway, go for it. Our transcripts do not list whether classes you took were online or not, so that's a potential plus. -- nm - con_carne Jun 25, 12:33
- Go for it. Have you looked up going to Frederick CC? -- nm - lileve Jun 25, 12:31
- it's pretty easy to put things off until it's too late when you're not going into a classroom -- nm - zork Jun 25, 12:30
- easy As -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 25, 12:29
- sure. -- nm - TFox Jun 25, 12:24
- good for many people. not good for me. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 12:24 1
  - Ditto. -- nm - nubby Jun 25, 12:33
- personally I found I learned better in a classroom environment. -- nm - Beaker Jun 25, 12:24 2
  - be sure to research the school first and make sure it is reputable -- nm - Beaker Jun 25, 12:34 1
    - at the very least accreditated. -- nm - psilotum Jun 25, 12:36
ok, I am not reading the bbs from last night, but I was there for part of it, so this is my impression -- (link) - tRuMaN Jun 25, 12:21 [youtube] 3

- no-one is *ever* the reincarnation of the town drunk, or the guy who picked the grain, or bob the butcher.. -- nm - Andie Jun 25, 12:14 10
  - I know what I wasn't. anyone who made their living on the high seas. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 12:15 9
    - But I have a collection of skulls, love turtles and can discect mice...but I dont like the water!!! -- nm - Loosilu si Jun 25, 12:34
    - Arrrr, vomitbeard the scallywag, ye was -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 12:16 6

        I was just going to post that one of the feelings I hate most is the feeling of being dizzy. I just spun my daughter on our swivel desk chair and 30 - HdnAgnda Jun 25, 12:23 2
        
        clammy skin? -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 12:23 1
        
        Just a headache -- nm - HdnAgnda Jun 25, 12:29
        
        This amuses me. - Beryllium Jun 25, 12:20 1
        
        also when using microscopes. had to take dramamine if I was going to look at stuff for any length of time. - loosilu Jun 25, 12:21
    - best you can hit is a high A? -- nm - colin Jun 25, 12:15
did farrah and o'neil get married? I recall they were planning to a couple days ago -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 25, 12:08 8
- No, they didn't. She just wasn't healthy enough -- nm - secretslacker Jun 25, 12:16 2
  - oh ... didn't Ryan say something about they'd get married if she woke up? -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 12:17 1
    - his quote was "when she can say yes" -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 25, 12:19
- I wondered the same but have not seen anything about it. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 12:12
- i doubt it, i'm sure it would have been reported. - Andie Jun 25, 12:12 3
  - I think it's possible they'll mention it in a day or two. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 12:12 2
    - Per the article I just read on People.com, Ryan said no, they did not marry, she was never well enough. -- nm - kelly Jun 25, 12:22 1
      - thanks. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 12:23

I have to say, I'm severely underwhelmed by the top 20 on SYTYCD this year. - Subversive Jun 25, 12:03 20
- I have yet to see a routine this season that has made me go Wow! Last year by this time there had been a few. -- nm - Dano Jun 25, 12:32 2
  - So completely word. -- nm - Subversive Jun 25, 12:36
  - Only one for me so far was Kayla and Max's dance in top 20 week. -- nm - Shaun Jun 25, 12:33
- I think they really dropped the ball on the guys. Besides Phillip, they are all comtemporary dancers, iirc. -- nm - Shaun Jun 25, 12:11 1
  - Forgot Even. -- nm - Shaun Jun 25, 12:12
- Ditto for the most part here too. It's the lack of breakers IMO, which were all but ignored during the auditions. - Cuzzin Todd Jun 25, 12:08 14
  - Yeah, we live Evan too. He's about the only other interesting one so far. - Subversive Jun 25, 12:12 3
    - A little? - Cuzzin Todd Jun 25, 12:15 2
      - Yeah, his smile just rubs me the wrong way. A little fake, I think. - Subversive Jun 25, 12:16 1
        
        He's also neckless. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 25, 12:17
  - Kayla is mine. -- nm - Shaun Jun 25, 12:11 9
    - Fine, but I get Jannette. - Subversive Jun 25, 12:13 8
      - Fine by me :) spoils? - Shaun Jun 25, 12:15 7
        
        Agreed on that completely. I was quite shocked, actually. - Subversive Jun 25, 12:17 6
        
        I wasn't. - Cuzzin Todd Jun 25, 12:21 5
        
        Yeah, but (spoils) - Subversive Jun 25, 12:23 4
        
        also spoils - Shaun Jun 25, 12:24 3
        
        *zero*. Mark from last season is his ultimate upside, and I ain't even seeing that kind of potential. -- nm - Subversive Jun 25, 12:27 2
        
        I almost want Phillip to be in the bottom 3 at some point just to see a solo. -- nm - Shaun Jun 25, 12:28 1
        
        We're SYTYCD soulmates, I think. - Subversive Jun 25, 12:34 [youtube]
HSX v4....Is it up yet? -- nm - mrbinns Jun 25, 11:36 17
- I would bet it won;t be back till after July 4th. -- nm - Beaker Jun 25, 12:20
- waiting, waiting... DMac said the data transfer was the limiting factor.. - colin Jun 25, 12:15
- What about now?! -- nm - Subversive Jun 25, 12:08 2
  - Funk soul brother. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 25, 12:09 1
    - right about now -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 12:11
- D.Mac said 4pm, so they aren't even late yet -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 12:01
- I just went to log-in...nothing happening yet...http:/nx.hsx-dev.com/login/?redirect=tr ue -- nm - BAD Jun 25, 11:50
- well I can't get it up -- nm - What? Why are your laughing? Jun 25, 11:38
- i don't know, did you check the site? -- nm - Andie Jun 25, 11:36 8
  - Old HSX has the slide that says coming soon. Do not have the url for v4 -- nm - mrbinns Jun 25, 11:39 7
    - I think the hsx.com web addy will be the same once the new site gets up and running. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 25, 11:44 6
      - Pretty sure this is correct. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 11:44 5
        
        Even if it doesn't have the same URL, we'll see the new URL at hsx.com. Surely. -- nm - mara Jun 25, 11:51 2
        
        Probably. And don't call us Shirley. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 25, 12:06
        
        never say never -- nm - psilotum Jun 25, 11:53
        
        (By which I mean, "they'd have to be ****ing ******ed not to" :)) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 11:45 1
        
        Which isn't necessarily an encouraging indication that it hasn't changed. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 25, 11:48
Sela Ward alert: The Stepfather trailer -- (link) - Dano Jun 25, 11:36 [youtube]
The Knicks bought the #29 pick from the Lakers, who don't have any roster spots open at the moment. -- nm - David Jun 25, 11:35 5
- Even the Lakers are going the Suns route. - Will Hunting Jun 25, 11:36 4
  - No, I meant what I just said. The Lakers don't have any open roster spots. - David Jun 25, 11:37 3
    - Yeah, and I'm sure someone would trade future picks for a 1st rounder tonight in that case. - Will Hunting Jun 25, 11:42 2
      - No, they are frequently traded for cash. This kind of deal happens several times a season. - David Jun 25, 11:56 1
        
        Right, mostly cuz the Suns are cheap bastards. - Will Hunting Jun 25, 12:00
If I lived upstairs from Five Guys, I'd take Peanut Oil baths at night. -- nm - David Jun 25, 11:35 2
- heh, this reminded me of 1976 when I stayed at a co-workers apartment while setting up an office in San Diego. Five marines lived in one apt next to - CrankYanker Jun 25, 11:38 1
  - and you have'nd recoved yet? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 25, 11:43
Andie, there is a thin muscular membrane on the back of ribs that must be removed prior to dry rubbing or cooking -- nm - peglegpete Jun 25, 11:34 3
- I was just coming to this board to mention the same thing. I wouldn't say the membrane is muscular though - zork Jun 25, 12:06 1
  - it's called fascia. no muscle. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 12:13
- ah, thanks. -- nm - Andie Jun 25, 11:34
LYC: I just had a client call up asking how he could go about setting up a factory for producing ammunition for firearms... - Walt_Disney Jun 25, 11:33 28
- LYC: my father sold rocket parts for a company he was overseeing at one point -- nm - Beaker Jun 25, 12:22
- put her in touch with Autism Pro -- nm - Beaker Jun 25, 12:21 1
  - nmbl -- (link) - Beaker Jun 25, 12:24
- 1. Open a factory in China. 2. Do whatever you want. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 12:14
- Since Obama has been elected, there has been a major run on guns and ammunition, though its been abaiting somewhat lately -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 25, 11:40 15
  - Umm perhaps this is is a stupid question but why? -- nm - Walt_Disney Jun 25, 12:15 6
    - What Roger said. Here's a list of Obama's gun control record. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Jun 25, 12:28
    - in short, hysteria stoked by right-wing media that Obama is going to take their guns away. -- nm - znufrii Jun 25, 12:17 3
      - Like the President of the US has that ability....I dont think any President will be able to do anything about guns anymore - Walt_Disney Jun 25, 12:29 2
        
        From your lips to God's ears. - Dr.Vermin Jun 25, 12:34
        
        He sets the tone, for one, and the idea that the consitution protects an individual right to arms is a fairly recent one. - znufrii Jun 25, 12:34
    - Some people are afraid of new restrictions on purchasing guns, so they think they are getting ahead of the curve -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 12:17
  - there's been such an ammo shortage that police departments have cut back on firing range practice -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 25, 12:07 5
    - here's an article about it -- (link) - znufrii Jun 25, 12:19 1
      - as is often the case, similar stories were out there 2 or more years ago and Bush was to blame not Obama at the time. -- nm - zork Jun 25, 12:26
    - to the Snopesmobile - zork Jun 25, 12:09 2
      - this is the only thing I'm coming up with... -- (link) - znufrii Jun 25, 12:15 1
        
        links on this search don't seem to support any real or new shortage that has reduced training -- (link) - zork Jun 25, 12:24
  - Probably not in Canada, though. -- nm - mara Jun 25, 11:55 1
    - : ) -- nm - Andie Jun 25, 11:58
- *takes* them??? How about PROTECTS them!!! - Dr.Vermin Jun 25, 11:38 7
  - I found out that since its a legal business, that our City can not prevent him if he meets all the requirements... - Walt_Disney Jun 25, 11:48 6
    - lots of tax money for everyone! -- nm - zork Jun 25, 12:09
    - There are plenty of companies in Ontario that build all sorts of military hardware and components. Parts for fighter jets, missile, you name it -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 12:00 4
      - Thats not a small business!!! :P And I am sure that most is made for the US and has to be approved through CCC -- nm - Walt_Disney Jun 25, 12:13 1
        
        There are small businesses too, even companies with 10-12 employees. All part of the supply chain -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 12:18
      - IIRC, Litton in the Ottawa area designed the guidance system for cruise missiles. -- nm - zork Jun 25, 12:08 1
        
        Probably - that one does a lot of different defence stuff. The company has a different name now though -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 12:14
/agrees with Will Hunting/ -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 25, 11:32 7
- [deleted]
- Ruh roh....on what? -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 25, 11:33 5

      - squirrel/blind nut -- nm - znufrii Jun 25, 11:52 2
        
        What's a blind nut? -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 25, 11:52 1
