Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - March 11, 2025 [scampydog]
Good evening and Happy Tuesday ONT. Spring is inbound! Change of seasons and change of the times. America is finding its legs again. Thank you for spending some of your Tuesday evening here. Let's get to the ONT.
Will you take a minute to fill out our feedback survey and let us know how you think the DNC should move forward? Your input, combined with thousands of other Democratic voices nationwide, will play a pivotal role in honing our strategy.

How about some 'cancel culture' eye poking? A number of authors pulled their books from consideration of the award/competition. Heh.
After dozens of authors had been cut, at least one began complaining about Eriksen's inclusion in the competition based on his numerous blog posts and tweets, which contain comments about immigration and transgenderism that frequently offend the Left. Dozens of people on Bluesky and the SPSFC discord started calling Eriksen a "nazi" for his posts and published some screenshots of them on Reddit along with a summary of the situation at the SPSFC.
"As a science fiction author, I want to concentrate on writing science fiction people will fall in love with, not on passing a purity test whose requirements are only known to the gatekeepers," Ste. Just wrote on X.
ONT of random. Kitchen Style. Favorite kitchen gadgets? You bet. Here are some not-so-common kitchen items. Bestest knife, spatula, and/or cutting board? Sure. Kitchen life would be less pleasant without these two items.

Cool aircraft paint jobs/liveries. More paint badassery here.

Tonight's ONT brought to you by The Completion Backward Principle.

My mother, a fine cook and baker, never had a whisk in her kitchen. She always used her "kitchen fork, a three tine wooden handle fork. My sister beat me to it when my mother died or idt have it still. I have a similar one which I usually use for whisking.

Tongs. You can't have too many tongs.
Spatulas were already mentioned, but you can't have enough of those, either. They're wonderful for scooping out little bits of food that seem to always get missed when you try to take them out with a spoon.
Garlic slicer/press
Pan scraper. Much better than a scouring pad to get burnt bits of food off pots and pans before they get washed. When you're camping, they do double-duty, because you don't want brillo-type pads that have food stuck in there that you can't wash off. Bears and other critters find those things like truffle pigs - uncanny.

Notice not one link to VF-124's F-14A-80GR Tomcat "76" in glorious Bicentennial markings.
As for as A-10s there are two more Heritage schemes. One is painted with D-Day invasion stripes and OD over NG. Another was painted in pre-war markings.
For our NATO allies and especially for the KLU there is F-16A "Dirty Diana". There are plenty of other colorful F-16s in Europe.
The Italians have had a multitude of gorgeously painted F-104S/F-104ASA to choose from.

-Good knives (carbon steel by preference)
-cast iron cookware: pans, dutch ovens, bread pans, etc. Mine are all seasoned and almost nonstick.
-Kitchenaid stand mixer: one was a wedding gift which is now almost 42 years old, the other from the 60s we inherited, both work perfectly.
-Swedish dough whisk: used for anything I don't need the Kitchenaid mixer for like biscuit dough, corn bread, any batter.
-bread proofer from Brod and Taylor: used to raise dough, make yogurt and kefir, even keeps honey soft.
-toaster oven: used several times a day for toast, baking, reheating leftovers, etc.
We have a mandolin but knives do a better job for my purposes. No microwave.

The newer electric range technologies (induction and so on) just rise to the level of "don't suck", IMO. They're still no match when it comes to controllability and raw power.
You'll never see an electric range in a restaurant kitchen.

'The Fool's Gold Loaf', a creation of Denver's Colorado Mine Company, packs a whole jar of peanut butter, a jar of blueberry jam, and a pound of bacon into one sandwich.
Elvis Presley once made a special trip to Denver for it, and the restaurant owner greeted him at the airport with 22 of them.

It had a wooden handle and a very sharp stainless steel blade. I had no idea how it got into my drawer, where it came from, and I examined it. In clear, well-engraved lettering:
VEGETABLE CHOPPER
NUTBROWN
MADE IN ENGLAND
I dashed to the internet and found that "vintage Nutbrown" utensils are a thing. The Nutbrown company was founded in 1927 by Thomas M Nutbrown. Went out of business a few years ago. The chopper is amazing. I told my sister about it and she made an impulse buy: a sandwich toaster.

Blonde Morticia,
Sharpening is to create the sharp edge, honing is to maintain that edge. Sharpening knives takes the right tools: stones or mechanism. It's an art. I use the steel for kitchen knives and a leather strop for woodcarving tools. Unless you want to learn how to sharpen, it would be worthwhile to find a good knife sharpening service and just use the steel, which is easier to use correctly, to keep the edge.

Watch a few videos. It's not hard to learn. You can get a two-sided stone for best results. First side would be between 600-800 grit - good for dull knives. Use the second side of 1000-2000 to put a finer edge, or maintain one on already sharp knives.

Speaking of blenders, that's one kitchen tool I had for just about forever, from my college days. Finally got rid of it a couple of years ago as I never used it, especially after the purchase of a stick blender. Don't make daquiris anymore so the counter space was needed and the blender had to go. And that stick blender I bought comes with a mini food processor bowl, a two-in-one tool.
I honestly can't imagine what a blender is used for in the kitchen these days. In a bar, yes, but not the kitchen.

When I moved in with hubby, my counter-top blender got boxed up & it's still in the barn. Haven't used it for 20 years.
Made some bitchin' daiquiris and pina coladas, back in the day... and classic milkshakes.

In the early days of videoconferencing (pre-internet) I worked for a company that sold what was considered the Big 3 - Picturetel, Vtel, and CLI. I know, you never heard of them. Their systems sold for between $40k - 65k each. Good times, until the internet and a little company called Polycom brought out their little Viewstation that listed for $5k...

Don't make smoothies while hummus and mayonnnaise can be made with either a stick blender or a food processor; for hummus, the stick blender works fine. I started making hummus again a couple of years ago as a summer food/sandwich (using pita bread cooked on the gas burner, no pan, so it gets slightly burnt). I was surprised at how easy hummus was to make with the stick blender and a couple of cans of Goya chick peas.
I am still surprised at the 'secret' ingredient in hummus: A little cumin.

Even back in the day I could always clean their clock handily. One of the best skills you can teach friends and family, particularly young people is the formal rules of rhetoric and debate. Logical Fallacies. Obviously no one can become an expert in numerous fields, so we have to use other cues in our daily lives to weigh ideas, and gauge the truthiness of people. What do they want? What are they really trying to do? Once you become adept at spotting logic faults, it is impossible not to notice them, and the “news” programs and politicians especially rarely speak clearly and lie as easily as breathing. Their parlor tricks, their schtick is dependent on the listener being unaware of the games they are playing. Education or schooling, the credentials - this is part of the scam. I’m not anti-intellectual, far from it. But there are nothing but imposters as far as the eye can see.

Al Stewart's 'Past, Present And Future' album is an underrated classic. Every song is just perfect. 'Roads to Moscow' with the line 'as tanks flicker their souls to the wind." One of my favorites is 'Post World War Two Blues'. Quite humorous, as Stewart often is.

In theory, a food processor should be the best gadget for me, but I've just always used the blender. I bought the food processor mainly for cheese purposes, but by the time you cut it up to the right size, you may as well just grate it. Same with cabbage, cukes, etc.

The federal government should be reduced drastically, but also spread around the country. Power should not be in one area that never suffers the problems the rest of the country does.

Although I should prob help square her away before she calls out some PTSD case and gets her head blown off. Yeah this will be fun. Maybe I can point her to Grok to soften the blow.

Odd that our ONT host should ask about exercising. I had no New Year resolution in that respect; I've been a workout dude in one way or another since the '70s. It is hard to muster the motivation now and then. Like, uh, right now. Possibly because I've done the same basic thing and traversed the same route in my run/walk for some years. I'm waiting to join a gym again until I retire and see how long until I can relocate. Then I'll need to find one there.
How does your Wed. look?

"A number of authors pulled their books from consideration of the award/competition. Heh."
Good. Glad to see this shift away from the hectoring ninnies being able to hurt an author by dictating what they attitudes said author can hold and express. Just judge the book by the quality of its content.

What exactly is the issue? I know Marines often use particular term such as former Marine, ex Marine etc. I went to a college where that was also a touchy subject. Terms are supposed to bring us together not tear us apart. I was army, but I know a lot about the Marine Corps. More than anyone who was not a Marine should ever know lol
