How many fucking letters can I use? I’m sick of editing this shit, just fucking accept the bio, damn.
I use a modular toolbox setup. Each chest or box has everything I need for one task. One box for electrical work, one for plumbing, one for painting, welding, simple repairs, power tools, etc. I also have a modular tool belt, and the most used tools in pouches on the outside of the box. On top of that, I have a small drawer with my inside tools in the house, screwdriver set, multitool, tape measure, utility knife, markers and hammer.
It helps immensly
Some of the projects have to be isolated, since they’re so drastically different. I don’t totally understand it, but I can’t woodwork and homelab in the same evening. It’s like they use such incompatible parts of my brain they have to be separated by several hours, or I’ll just stare at the terminal or workbench and not know what to do.
I’ve been trying to be for 20 years. You’re the second person in that time to call me that, and you made my day for it.
Hand tool woodworking, refurbishing antique tools and furniture, building a home lab server, learning Ubuntu/Debian/arch, welding/soldering eyeglasses, 3d printing, milling rifles, lockpicking, cooking Indian, Japanese, and Cajun food, building custom furniture, fixing clocks, rebuilding engines, removing rust and japanning metal, playing piano, identifying specific architecture, being more supportive to friends, building a community action group, sharpening blades, trusting others to make decisions, sign language, and raising a daughter to be an assertive mastermind.
Flying sucks shit. A co op airline would be awesome.
There are some valid reasons I can entertain that 9-11 was either planned by the US, or at least allowed to happen without interference. I don’t have a strong belief either way, but I’m open to conversation.
I will not, however, engage with someone who brings up jet fuel melting beams. You sound like a dolt, and the exact mechanism of destruction doesn’t factor into the matter.
Left front phone. Right front knife or multitool. Coin pocket zippo. Rear right wallet, rear left key fob. On the occasion I have my keys me, they’re on a short leather strap clipped to my belt loop in my right front.
Due to my job, all my jackets have a millimeter ruler and a staedler 319f marker in the front pocket, and my left inside pocket has a fountain pen with blue ink, and a pilot gtec C4 with black ink. Right Inside pocket has a hairtie, toothpicks, and a carved jade turtle figurine (skjoldpada).
When I open Facebook every 4 months, I’ve always received several pokes from a guy named Keith, who’s been referred to as my uncle.
You got uncle keithed too?
If you live somewhere it’s dark in the morning, start school an hour later. Don’t demand the entire populace fuck up their sleep schedule. If DST wasn’t already implemented, it would sound like an insane overcomplication to solve relatively simple inconveniences in the modern age. No matter what the clock says, you only exist for a certain amount of time every day. If you want to get up earlier or later than usual, do it by yourself and leave me out of it.
I’m pretty sure Tool wrote something about that
While I loath windows, I would still put it above Mac if only for the ability to put windows on whatever you want. Even if Mac is more polished, the fact that it only works reasonably on vastly overpriced, mostly unrepairable hardware kills any appeal it would have. Add in apple’s tendency to gimp devices as if a three year old machine is at deaths door, and I’ll go to a customized windows os every time.
Also the gaming thing. It’s not pinnacle, but it’s also not trivial.
Etouffee. Best with crawfish and sausage, but chicken, shrimp, mushrooms, whatever proteins you have work.
Mince two onions, put them in a wok or large pan with 1/2 cup of butter or oil, and keep them moving over medium low heat so they don’t brown. When they start to lose their structure, add 3 staulks of minced celery and keep going. When those lose structure, add 1 and 1/2 minced bell peppers, green and or red. Cut the other half pepper into strips for later. Keep stirring until you’ve got a good slurry.
Now add 2 Tbsp of flour or GF flour, and again, keep it moving, until a nice yellow roux forms.
The hard part is over now. Add a cup of broth, (chicken or shellfish, are best, but vegetable works) stir it up and let it simmer. If you’re using sausage, add them in whole at this point. If chicken, add in strips or chunks.
Now rinse and clean two cups of rice, and set it aside to soak in 3.5 cups of water, or 2.5 water and 1 broth.
Chop up a bunch of parsley, like a cup or more, and 4 garlic cloves. Use Italian parsley, curley is a garnish and doesn’t have enough flavor.
Add half the parsly and garlic and another cup of broth to the pan, and simmer, stirring occasionally. As it reduces, keep adding broth. Your going to end up using about 4 cups total.
Put the rice in a pan and heat until boiling in the water/broth combo. Reduce to the lowest setting and cover.
Take the whole sausages if you added them, and cut them up and put them back in. This is when you would add the shrimp, crawfish, or mushrooms if you use them, as well as the pepper strips from earlier. I like to add some clam juice right here if I didn’t use seafood stock earlier.
It should be a yellow/orange gravy at this point. As the rice finishes, stir the remaining garlic and parsley into the gravy. Give it a minute to mellow the garlic, and you’re done. Put it on the rice, and add a cayenne based hot sauce to bring the heat up.
Green onions and parsley are a solid garnish.
I will often salt the minced vegetables while they wait to be added.
It’s cheap and great, and reheats well… The trade off for pricing is the 2 hours you spend stirring.
Variations:
-add sliced jalapeños at the simmering point.
-no garlic, but add cayenne pepper
-no peppers, but increase celery.
-peel your own crawfish, then bake the shells for 25 minutes, and simmer them in a big pot for a few hours to make your own swamp broth. It starts out smelling terrible, but that leaves and you get an awesome stock to use as the base.
Maybe we could Ammend the usual procedure
I have a hypothesis that the chat client hasn’t updated, and sending the message forces it to check, and finds out the person disconnected before you sent the message.
Either that or you’re whack as fuck and nobody wants to deal with it.
Is there not a wikipedia style site specifically for academics yet? We don’t need publishers anymore. Really I’m amazed there are still record labels and producers as well.

My computer has been torn down for a while due to a move and renovations, but as soon as I set it up again, the first order of business is to migrate it to mint.
Dionysus in hades. Dude amps me up so well I pick him over boons I like better.
I got a killer deal on toughbuilt boxes when Lowes first got the stacktech. They’re great. Heavy as hell, but I’m big so I don’t mind it. With how expensive they are, I’m not sure i would get them again if they were normal price, though. I also lucked out when the toughbuilt modular belts were being clearances out through menards a year or two ago. Got way more pouches than I’ll ever need for 3 or 4 bucks each. Again, at the regular price, I’d stick to my leather apron belt. 50 bucks for a tool pouch? Get fucked.
Menards just recently got stacktech stuff in, but it’s regular price at the moment. Anything that ends up there will eventually be on clearance though, so if you live near one, keep an eye out.
