40 After ice cream, milk is almost the only thing that tastes fine. Water will be gross. If you added a little whisky to the ice cream then more whisky will taste great. Belay that, more whisky always tastes great.

Hubby and I have had several Great Danes over the decades. We had two that were half-sisters, born 6 months apart. They were wonderful though we had second thoughts one morning when we got up and went into the family room. Yes, the couch looked like the destroyed couch in the video, lol. We had to buy a new couch. They never destroyed another couch after that. We never figured out what they didn't like about the one the destroyed, lol.

He is still so cute, little marshmallow guy! No accidents. He did chew my pottery barn mirror when I guess everyone let him run amok while I was teaching this morning. So of course I went out and bought 4 different safe chew options. He doesn’t like any of them, but maybe he will learn what they are for eventually.

The Fram 2 crew do qualify as astronauts, commercial astronauts (NASA and the military get their own definitions, and at some point there was some sort of disdain for the private crews. The definition of that belongs to the FAA).

Anyway, the term "spaceflight participant" has been used. But, I don't think Katy Perry and co. even qualify for that. So, they don't even get a participation trophy.

You might go looking to see if there is an outlet near you! Disclaimer: I have no relationship with Wayback Burgers except as a customer.

It makes a very sticky dough that makes a loaf that is almost as soft as store bread. apparently pre cooking the starch makes a nice gelatinized goo that really tempers the dough while rising.

191 Confession: I take my tea with half and half as creamer. Hot tea from a blue bettie pot of course! I like PG Tips, but any strong black tea will do. I take Earl Grey in the afternoon, and sometimes make it a high tea. Problem: they don’t put any vitamin D in half and half because it is meant for adults. Only children’s milk is fortified. Solution: I take vitamin D2 in tablet form supplemented with vitamin K2. The K2 helps make sure the D2 goes where it ought to in the body, not into fat storage. Got to be careful about fat soluble vitamins like A and D!

192 I have been wifing all day. Made pot pies for dinner, waiting for DH to get here and mix me a drink. I like it better when he works from home. I guess somebody still needs to pay the bills. Oh well.

I think maybe she's running out of excuses. It's not like she could pull that appendix thing again.

It's not really a smiley face, more of a triangle, really, but you can kinda sorta say it sort of looks like it.

Also, Neptune is right in the face too, so this is a 4 object conjunction. With a telescope, you could make out Neptune and its moons.

You can start looking about an hour and half before local sunrise. Local sidereal time will be ~18:10. I'm too lazy to convert to local mean time, but it will be the same for everybody. The time offset from sunrise pins it down fine.

Posted by: tcn in AK at April 24, 2025 09:28 PM (a4NoL)

You can use potato water for the liquid if you want, it is a similar result. Left over mashed potatoes will work too.

I usually use a cup of whole ground flour - I grind up wheat berries for this - and let them soak in two cups of water and yeast over night to do my bread, so taking 24 hours to bake bread is pretty standard here. The starch makes a softer bread that my wife loves. I like it tougher, though.

198 >> Neat. What time did you find for that?

It will be 5:34AM when the ISS is right in the middle of the smiley face.

Now, since the ISS is so close, parallax is YUGE. It would be quite different for Mike Hammer up there around Asheville, and even Miklos further down south.

Anyone around the Greenville, SC area, you'd need to get Stellarium or equivalent to see what it would be exactly for your location.

Looks very promising. Once I get the garden in I can start doing baking stuff again. I have about a month of digging and improving before I can plant outside. We also have fences to take out, drainage to improve.... Well, I will get back to bread at some point.

211 178 Steak and Shake fries are fried in beef tallow now.

Yeah they announce it on the menu. Wish they had some around here. I tried Cracker Barrel as well and damn that's good stuff as well. Definitely need that in my town, maybe not the tchotchkies and the front store but the menu, nothing really like that around here.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at April 24, 2025 09:18 PM (2VST1)

Sigh, our Steak and Shake closed a few years ago. The only thing left is an abandoned building and a bunch of Tesla chargers since the site is right next to the freeway. Would love some of those fries now.

Rendevous was beginning to go off the rails but was still okay. The ones after that were pretty bad.

That said, the two before that were fantastic. I think I went through the first two books in a couple of weeks. They were hard to put down.

214 This is your captain, Shaneesha M'bwani. As the café makes its final approach to landing, please make sure your seatback is up, carry-ons are stored under your seat, and tray tables are up. Thank you for flying DEI airlines. Now, let's see if I can remember how to lower the landing gear. Wait. Is this still on?

Posted by: mindful webworker - is this thing on? at April 24, 2025 09:56 PM (SWvjw)

215 I cheated and looked it up. Gateway was the first. Dang what a great book. From wikipedia:

"Nearly a thousand small, abandoned starships are located at Gateway (an asteroid). By extremely dangerous trial and error, humans have partially learned how to operate them. The controls for selecting a destination have been identified, but nobody knows where a particular setting will take the ship, how long the trip will last, or even if enough fuel is available to get back. Those who choose to risk their lives cram the limited space with equipment and hopefully enough food for the trip, but sometimes it is not enough, and they have to resort first to cannibalism, and if that is not enough, to suicide"
