'Same Time, Same Place'
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.
I think I'm going to try and leave an hour or so early (by 5:00) and then take a long nap in my bed (which I just made up with fresh sheets this morning, so yay for thinking ahead!). It's already 2:37 here, so I only have another 2+ hours to go.
(My boss is on the road for a business trip, otherwise I'd ask her if I could go home now.)
Anybody got a spare basement or root cellar?
If it means you can kick today's ass, you're welcome to my basement.

there are lots of construction dumpsters around that get emptied daily. Just a thought.
hivemind question.
If I am trying to determine calories for a baked good I made, can I just enter all of the ingrediants separately, or does baking alter caloric info?
You should give some of the baked goods to me, and then there will be fewer calories for you!

Hell, I've got an entire bay just out the door. Throw 'em in!

I've wondered that myself, msbelle--if I put in a cup of flour and a cup of sugar and a stick of butter, divided by the number of cookies it makes, is that a calorie count? Or does the baking magically make them different? (I mean, I suppose it *could*, calories are energy, baking is heat...right?)
Another hivemind question: Does anyone know ergonomically speaking, where your monitor should be relative to your eye level? My eye doctor told me to make sure my monitor was below eye level, so I moved it. I can tell that's going to help a lot vision wise, but now I feel like looking down at the monitor is going to hurt my neck.

but, but, -- calories can be neither created or destroyed right? It would have to convert into something? Or does that theory only apply to matter?

Well, they're a measurement of energy. So if you burn up the cookie (which, isn't that how they measure calories?), you're measuring how much energy it takes, or something? I dunno. It's been a LOOOOONG time since college science classes....
I figure it probably does work out the whole flour plus sugar plus butter equals total calories. But I want reassurance!
