PF is shutting down for a while tonight.

Where did you learn that? It has been shutting down for a while already. But it's okay, an awesome site like this requires good maintenance.

I learned that in the feedback forum. It will happen about two hours from now.

Ah, okay. Thanks. I'll leave you now then, good night.

I've been watching the film Reds on TV. This was my first recorded video purchase and the media was recorded on a RCA Capacitance Electronic Disc.

 

[WWGD]

Still confused on how my project went from being unwieldy to being simple to the point of being boring. No PMs needed for sure.

 

[zoobyshoe]

I'm about to eat a big slab o' salmon and a baked potato.

Definitely "zooby food" I think.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Definitely.

The salmon, though, had the skin on it on one side. That's not zoobie food. I had to get it off and it doesn't come off that easily.

 

[Silicon Waffle]

I like salmon skin a lot. But people on diet or would want to stay away from oily fat tend to get rid of them.
I feel very tired, bored and sleepy.

I cook and eat it with the skin still left on that one side. The skin side goes on the bottom (touching the plate) when served. (This is actually a common way to serve it). You don't need to eat the skin though if you don't want to. It can serve as its own additional "plate," so to speak. When eating, cut through the salmon with the fork (or table knife) until you get to the skin, and then stop. Eat the salmon bite and leave skin intact. In the end, that slab of skin (still intact as a single piece of skin) remains on the plate.

[Edit: this may not work well if you are eating it sashimi style, but it works great if you cook the salmon, since after cooking, the salmon meat almost slides off the skin, when eating it bite by bite, with a fork (and optional table knife).]

I guess you're all just too lazy to pull the skin off, then.

That sounds about right. I am lazy. Tearing off the skin before serving is more trouble than it's worth.

In my defense though, back in the day when I had a lot of cash coming it and would eat at expensive restaurants, that's the way they would serve it -- salmon steak complete with layer of skin still on the bottom side*.

*although they didn't phrase it in those words on the menu. You'd find out eventually though, one way or the other.

Many years ago I went with a friend to an expensive outdoor restaurant in Big Sur. I ordered trout. So, later, when the waitress brought our food, she asked me, "Would you like me to bone your trout?"

Omg :-) than you could sue her if you choked with a bone

Oh no...he can't sue people on a bone that gets stuck at his throat while eating. Not this bone, they would claim.

BTW I really like zoobyshoe very much and his salmon too. Sounds very good.

Yes I like him too. He's funny and easygoing :-)
And I like all others that I know from the Lounge. There's too many names and I will not write them all because I might forget someone :-)

This may be the good type of fats, the unsaturated type.

When you connect to a web site, Http Status Codes are involved. I've always had a fondness for 418.

 

[Psinter]

I just read that it is forbidden by the constitution in my place for any individual (ordinary or from the government) to assign themselves or bestow upon others titles of royalty. You know, like Duchess, King, Queen, etc. Politicians also cannot accept gifts or money from the heads of religious organizations in exchange for legislating (making laws) in favor of the religious organization, but you know...

It would be cool to get into the government and than proclaim that you are the King or Queen

I don't need even a server for 417 ...

I love these technical jokes. RFC 1149 is one of my favourites, made better by the fact that someone claims to have implemented it...

 

[zoobyshoe]

I had to venture out in my car today and do some zoobie stuff. I noticed, as I often do, that there were cobwebs around the lower parts of the car. I can't understand this. I drive it at least once a day, and you'd think that would be enough to discourage spiders. But I suppose spiders don't get cars and think that if a structure is stationary when they encounter it, it will always be stationary.

Lol. What should we say then whose primary language isn't English. At least half of all technical devices have a documentation that is seemingly translated by "Google translate" or even worse by the use of a dictionary. Mostly they were in English before.
Btw the pictures of those who implemented RFC 1149 tell it all. Would have been nice to read how they tested it in the end.

Do you park in the sun? I bet the high temps would kill them.

 

[WWGD]

This is a new tactic I have seen often recently, for those who want you to fill a survey:
" We have given you the opportunity of filling in this survey..." Seems too transparent.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Yeah, it's pretty much always in the sun, but the webs are down at the bottom where the spiders can park themselves underneath.

So the spider has six days to work for food and one day off. Sounds familiar.
Spiders, rats, mice, sparrows - all hemerophile. You can't do nothing about it.

Was bedeutet "hemerophile?"

Ich kann nicht nichts tun?
