Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Kat,you need to give me your cauliflower soup recipe. And my mom needs to give me her coleslaw recipe. And La Posta, theirs. And I need to figure out if I can make beans in my crockpot.
Maybe that will inspire me to eat better. Today, I've mixed cabbage in with a noodle bowl, and that's all I've eaten today.
Canyon de Chelly is pronounced Canyon de-SHAY.
Mogollon is mugee-YOWN.
This announcement brought to you by a bad radio announcer. Oy.
Anybody have a better knowledge of photography history than I can google? I found a box of glass negatives in my grandparents' stuff. Based on where I found it, I can narrow it's origin to Europe, probably Vienna, definitely before WWII. It's glass negatives, about three by four inches. (Next thing I'm going to do is try scanning them with white paper behind them, then use photoshop or something to switch the black/white colors, to see if the photos themselves give any clues. Of the people in my family who I know were living there then, I think there are only two or three that I can recognize from a photo.)
t edit: OK, I got better google search terms. 1850-1920 for glass negatives, it seems. Judging from the clothes I can see in these, I'd guess the later end of that period.
And I need to figure out if I can make beans in my crockpot.
What kind of beans do you have in mind? What size crockpot?
New TSA regulations on flying with lithium batteries: [link]
The TSA has discovered that on January 1st, 2008 lithium batteries are going to become more dangerous than they were on December 31, 2007. Thankfully, they've taken action by forbidding them beginning in 2008.
Lithium Metal Battery, Spare or Installed (over 2 grams lithium):
In checked bag? Forbidden
Carry-on? Forbidden
Oh for fuck's sake. Does this effectively ban all laptops, iPods, cell phones, etc?
what the fuck? do they want people to stop flying altogether?
They are fucking insane.
Hey, my laptop screen is on. How weird. Yay?
I have a small crock pot that runs only on low. We made beans at my parents, but theirs has multiple settings, and I don't recall what we used. Need to ask my mom.
Do the TSA people even know that they're looking for!
Don't most laptops use lithium-ion batteries, not lithium metal batteries?
