Unshelved is awesome, and they proved it with this: [link]
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
In unrelated news, a picture book for all of us.
We saw that in Costco the other day! It's very amusing. Although, in an alternate world, it's called Goodnight Zune.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Uh, did I know we'd been namechecked in a webcomic? That's feeling like news to me.
Oh, man, I'm so behind on timesheets. Like, November behind. Let me get on that before the change control meeting rakes me over the coals.

Anyone here does sous-vide cooking? Are we all behind the trend? Tell me someone from the Buffistas is representing...

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've read about it, but haven't tried it. There's a pretty significant initial investment in equipment, and I don't want to spend that for something that I really just want to try once.

I feel we're all growing up and spending our silly money on sensible things, and being distracted by life and children and stuff.
However, I live vicariously through -t's kitchen, so I'm kinda holding out hope she's rocking one.

Yeah, I read Unshelved, but I wasn't reading it when that comic ran. At least I don't recall it. Pretty cool!

Sounds way too complicated for me. Also slow: if I want a steak, I want it in 15 minutes, not 36 hours or whatever.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
there's no point reaching for a given dish/drink/muffin when I come in the door. More often than not, I don't want it.
I used to have this problem with the deli near my old office. The guys behind the counter had scary good memories and I had to start deliberately ordering something different every time I went in because if I ordered the same thing twice in a row that would become my "usual" and they'd have it ready before I was even halfway through the door.

Not necessarily - you can sous vide with a ziplock bag (or plastic wrap), an instant-read thermometer, and a pot of water.
(It's more foolproof with an immersion circulator, but the technique has been around much longer than the technology.)
