On a lit display it can differ:

On LCD/LED, Black is the combination of Red + Green + Blue pixels.

On OLED, Black is the color of the back panel itself and the RGB pixels are turned completely off to get 100% True Black.

The Nissan Nubian was intended to be a straight up competitor for the Volkswagen Cabriolet convertible. Unfortunately the styling didn't catch on, the color choices weren't right and the odd shaped rear bumper was not amenable to the ever popular breast cancer awareness stickers considered mandatory by the chick car crowd. Production ceased after only two years.

I use a Crock Pot. I add about a cup of water and a tablespoon of Better Than Bouillon Beef. When done, I strain the juice and have a wonderful au jus. You can ruin it and thicken it however you want. But I just like the strained au jus. Over slices, over an open faced sammich. It's simply liquid beefy goodness.

I'd modify that and say that since color is what we see as a result of the spectrum of light, then black is the absence of light (or 0% reflective color).

When using pigments for painting or print, black is a combination of all colors, but even in that case it comes out more like a very dark brown, so in CMYK printing the K stands for Black (a separate 100% black ink).

I make about a 2 1/2 pound pot roast in a crock pot. I have an older model (avocado green), not the newer oval shapes which hold larger cuts of meat. I add whatever sides to the crock pot: Small red potatoes (on the bottom), some large diced carrots, whole garlic, or maybe mushrooms (just add less water).

Put in the pot and forget it for 7 hours.

Gives me a few meals.

I've been getting those for a year now.
Very easy to make.
Tastes 90% like a homemade roast in the oven.
Feeds two normal people, or one man who likes a large plate.
I'll add sauteed peppers, onions, and mushrooms to it occasionally.

Their beef tips and meatloaf aren't bad, either.

The trick I learned the hard way is to make sure you tie up the roast before cooking. (Minds out of the gutter, people.) Makes it easier after cooking to get it out in one piece.

And something pretty stable like bouillon cubes, properly stored, should be good for a loooooong time. I once actually worked with the guy (there was a guy) at USDA in charge of expiration markings etc. Used the opportunity to grill him about the question of food expiration markings and it went about as expected. Dry/solid chemically stable stuff, properly stored - very long shelf life. Ditto, though shorter, for select canned goods.

199 Medium Rare pull your roast at 127 internal and loosely tent it with foil. Carryover cooking will bring it to 133 or so which is perfect.

After you create a sear please don't destroy it with high-moisture cooking after. Thanks

Maillard reaction is when your protein starts to brown under heat in a mildly alkali situation. Meats, pies, bread, pretzels are all examples of this
This is not the same as caramelization, which is where heat breaks down sugars.

The trick I learned the hard way is to make sure you tie up the roast before cooking. (Minds out of the gutter, people.) Makes it easier after cooking to get it out in one piece.

Let cool. Remove string. Then slice that bad boy up. Top with au jus.

My seven fishes would be cod, perch, halibut, more cod, perch and halibut, deep fried with chips, and you could probably sneak in some tuna or shrimp.

241 She is famous among Catholics. She was a mystic. Her stories about the Passion are intense. She also had stories about Jesus's descent into Hell, etc, which I understand Mel Gibson will use in his next film.

The book online is "The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ." I think it costs 99c.

btw, she contradicts Steven Spielberg. In the third Indiana Jones film, the chalice was a simple thing.

No. According to her vision, it was a grand old thing preserved since Melchisedech. Great story. Very painful you know. Must wait until Lent to read it again.

262 This piece of shit is a US congressman…

Goldman, who was first elected in 2022, has long been a staunch opponent of Trump and his immigration policies in Congress. However, when Trump’s mass deportation agenda literally showed up outside his office, his involvement escalated, with his office becoming the headquarters for a legal operation that has secured the release of nine ICE detainees.

“We have our Washington D.C. angle to it, with the legislation and the letters and public messaging to make Americans aware of what is actually going on,” Goldman said during an extensive interview with TPM earlier this month. “But we also are sitting across the street from families who are being torn apart, and if there’s a way for us to help them, I’ve told my staff, do anything possible.”

Goldman and his staffers began making regular visits to Manhattan’s immigration courts. While there, they got to know the network of court watchers and accompaniers who have been supporting migrants and trying to help them keep their cases alive.

There’s a lot that has happened this year that makes me incredibly angry and upset for our democracy. Nothing has hit me emotionally like this immigration dragnet,” Goldman explained. “My grandmother escaped antisemitism in Russia and came through Ellis Island. And, at that time … there was no need for asylum. People were welcomed here, and they came here to seek refuge, and to seek opportunity.”

“That’s what this country is all about,” he continued. “And now to see this administration demonize immigrants just for being different, or other, or not born in America, or frankly, not white, is very difficult for me just to emotionally handle. There’s a lot of crazy stuff, but nothing has kept me up at night like this.”

298 Seafood you miss. Mom would buy frozen packages of cod, about 8"x3"x2". Once thawed, there was a large amount of small filets and she would do a simple egg wash, flour breading and fry. I've looked for fish packed that way and can't find it.

That sounds like one of the bricks that most frozen fish fillets came packed. Just a cardboard cover. I missed the
A lot less waste than individual plastic sealed fillets, takes up a lot less space in the freezer.

Plans are readily available...

Every unmachined piece of a stem is an 80%. For example - this piece of pipe? It's an 80% barrel.

If one were to produce a jig(s) for these 80% parts it would greatly facilitate making quality stens.
