I could imagine that crappy dashcam tech might cause skips. I can't believe it'd cause loops, esp with audio not skipping/looping in sync.

Very, very hard to believe a digital video system could glitch like that - full frames and looping, but no digital artifacts at all. - Andrew C - -

Considering Trump made much of his fortune from huge tax breaks, it just upends reality to say he "cannot be bought". _He is the buyer._ - Andrew C - [ 3 ] -

Definitely relative. It got up above 77 inside our house yesterday (in fact, even today, the temperature inside the house is currently ~80). When I walk out of my bedroom (where I have a portable AC running & keeping it ~74) and into the living room, I feel like I've walked into a sauna. When I walk into the living room from outside (where it's ~95-100), I feel like I've walked into a refrigerator. - Friendfed Mr. Noodle - -

"I feel like this is a part of the problem with a lot of these companies, and just generally my opinion about a lot of things that go on in California especially—there’s a lot of great raw ingredients but then people try to get over the hump of history and over the hump of actually doing stuff. You can’t just have great wheat and be like, /We’re going to make 00 flour, we bought Caputo, we analyzed it, and now this is our 00 and it’s just the same./ And it’s like, /Dude, it doesn’t even work anything like Caputo, and Caputo is not even as good as it used to be./" - Andrew C - -

"It’s the same with mozzarella cheese: there’s amazing milk in California—better than any milk in Italy—but nobody in California knows how to make mozzarella. That guy over there in Italy making cheese, he was born in the place making cheese, his dad made the cheese, his grandfather made the cheese, his father made the cheese, his brain only thinks of cheese, he doesn’t even have an option but to make cheese." - Andrew C - -

"I asked Mr. Gagliardi why he thinks there is such demand for boneless meat. "Because, let's face it," he started, "Americans are lazy eaters. They don't like to eat fish with bones. They don't like to eat anything with bones." Which is all well and good in Gagliardi's eyes, unless you're false advertising." - Andrew C - -

It's not the bones that bother me, it's the veins/tendons next to the bone :/ That said, boneless skinless thigh meat makes me gag. - Meg VMeg - -

I Don't Think David Brooks Is Okay, You Guys (http://theconcourse.deads... )

1 decade ago from Bookmarklet - Comment - Hide - - [ 3 ] -

"In the years since [his 2000 book], he has been a reliable producer of out-of-touch, tissue-thin pronouncements on the perils of our secularized, technologized 21st century lives, virtually all of which rightly can be interpreted as passive-aggressive nostalgia for what Family Circus comics told him “outdoors” might have been like when he was a kid. You could just about set your calendar by it: In a month of Brooks, you’d get the call to begin or continue a war with Iraq or Iran, the grasping attempt to paint some cretinous Senator or presidential hopeful as the intellectual heir to Edmund Burke, and then, at last, the decline-and-fall column. You’d see a headline like “The Slow Virtues” or “The Hollow Century” or “Why the Teens Are Despicable,” and you’d know ol’ Dave’s coffee shop was out of plain croissants a week ago and the barista had a nose-ring and he’d decided he’d witnessed the death of the Western moral tradition." - Andrew C - [ 4 ] -

How 'Privilege' Became a Provocation - http://www.nytimes.com/20...

1 decade ago - Comment - Hide - - [ 1 ] -

"The critic Maggie Nelson dissects this scene in her new book, ‘‘The Argonauts.’’ It is strange, she writes, that Didion, who has written so brilliantly about suffering, could believe that privilege and pain are mutually exclusive. Like some of the ‪#‎takeusdown‬ demonstrators, Didion holds that hardship negates the privileges of whiteness or wealth. It’s a perspective that obscures — almost willfully — what the idea of privilege was trying to illuminate in the first place: how structural privilege is, and how it manifests in the unexceptional and everyday, in what we take for granted." - Andrew C - -

"And Nelson finds Didion’s use of the word ‘‘cop’’ especially odd and suggestive. ‘‘The notion of privilege as something to which one could ‘easily cop,’ as in ‘cop to once and be done with,’ is ridiculous,’’ she writes. ‘‘Privilege /saturates/, privilege /structures/.’’ […] It conflicts with a number of cherished American ideals of self-invention and self-reliance, meritocracy and quick fixes — and lends itself to no obvious action, which is perhaps why the ritual of ‘‘confessing’’ to your privilege, or getting someone else to, has accumulated the meaning it has. It’s the fumbling hope that acknowledging privilege could offer some temporary absolution for having it." - Andrew C - -
