It was alright. I actually thought the brioche bun and sauce better than the chicken itself. I've always heard Chick-fil-A was the best. Haven't had either of them, though.

mcbigski Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Why is it that goats are fucking assholes generally, but their cheese is so damn good? Sadly, Ben and I were the only two BWBers at Boskone last weekend, so I had a bunch of extra meats and cheeses that I had acquired for the Cards Against Humanity traditional Saturday time. Which means I no share goat cheese tonight. Also, this might be a deeper question rather than a small one, but why Hall and Oates, and not Oates and Hall? It scans the same either way.

BigFatCoward Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 Goats cheese is fine, but that's about it. And pygmy goats are not assholes, they are a goddamn delight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inkdaub Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I love goats. Never met a goat I didn't like. Today I opened my mailbox to find the Gwenifer Raymond CD and T-shirt I ordered had arrived. Things are looking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbigski Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Garage door troubleshooting. My garage door opener was getting stuck about 20% of the way up. Oddly, this only happens from around 10am to 2pm. South facing, so something about the sun shine seems to be causing it. After watching the door go up and down a bunch of times and getting stuck each time, it seemed unlikely based on where the shadow line was that that was triggering the safety sensor. (And it occurs to me now that the safety sensor keeps the door from closing, not opening, so probably wasted about 20 minutes down that rabbit hole.) The garage door is comprised of 4 panels, each with a roller on each side in the corresponding track. I think it's standard, but maybe done much differently outside of North America. I noticed that when the door gets stuck, the weight of the top panel freezes the rollers. At this point in the process the top panel is tipped inward as it starts to make the turn from vertical to horizontal. Also this is just past where the bottom piece of track meets the curved part, so a bit of seam there. So I hammered everything a bit towards the directions that seemed likely to be most beneficial. No effect. Looking at the motor, I saw a setting for open and closing force for the door. Turned the open force setting up from near the minimum and near the maximum and now it's pulling through the sticky spot with no issues. But why the fuck was it only getting stuck in the middle of the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckwheat Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Re: pancakes I have never heard of anybody eating lemon and sugar on them, and my country also has the crepes-type that you roll up. Common fillings being: - jam - nutella or other cacao/chocolate based spread - whipped cream + crushed walnuts (maybe this is just my family's specialty, but in any case, it is delicious) I have also been meaning to make pancakes au gratin (I hope that is the right word?) with whipped cream + cottage cheese one of these days. Mmmmmm. Re: third nipples Witchfinder sergeant Shadwell has a lot more work to do in this life than we thought. Now I realised "sergeant" is a very weird word. Difficult to spell, too.

I second this (but agree this has to be with the thin kind of pancakes not the American or Scottish style) - there's something extra special about the lemon and sugar combo - bittersweet and delicate.
