Tori Amos commented on the allegations:

And if the allegations are true, that’s not the Neil that I knew, that’s not the friend that I knew, nor a friend that I ever want to know. So in some ways it’s a heartbreaking grief. I never saw that side of Neil. Neither did my crew. And my crew has seen a lot.

Gaiman is the godfather to one of her kids and apparently she was pretty close to him. If she didn't know, I feel like Terry Pratchett wouldn't have known either. This isn't like with Epstein where association implies knowledge of what was going on. After reading all that I have on the allegations, I'm comfortable believing that Pratchett wouldn't have known anything about the alleged sexual assault and if he knew anything, it was that Gaiman was known to sleep around... consensually... with adults. (Because apparently this seems to be known among people close to him... including that he and Palmer allegedly had an open marriage)

So unless further info comes out that indicates otherwise, I will continue to enjoy Pratchett's works.

Freeze your grapes... wash them and pull them off the stem and lay them on a baking sheed in the freezer. Grapes will last longer and they taste good frozen.

tl;dr: 45min on high, let natural release, skim off fat. When it's done I just strain it and then let it cool and then freeze it.

Also a pressure cooker works really well for making stock.

One time I went to buy a power tool that was on sale at Home Depot. I did the self checkout and the sale did not ring up correctly. I got one of the employees attention and they just told me there was nothing they could do, whatever it rings up as is the price and they can't change it. No amount of pointing at the massive sale sign would change that.

So I put it back and bought it from an online site that was having the same sale. Fuck Home Depot... Since then I go out of my way to not shop there.

It's not illegal to modify a gun, it's illegal to modify a gun into a gun that meets certain criteria to then become illegal. The crime isn't modification of the gun, the crime is the possession of a (now) illegal gun.

No, in your case the crime isn't the fact that you modified the rifle, the crime is that you modified it into an illegal version of the rifle. The crime is possession of a full auto rifle.

If I take a rifle that was setup for one caliber and modify it so it can shoot a different caliber, that's not illegal.

yes? you can legally purchase a plane without a license... did you read my comment? purchasing != using. You don't need a pilot "under current contract" you could buy a plane and taxi it around the airport if you want without any licenses.

[–] flynnguy 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You can, you just need to hire a pilot if you want to fly in it. How do you think rich people fly around in their jets? Do you really think the pilots own the planes?

He asked employees to print out their code so he could review it.

 

So a friend of mine recommended Obsidian ages ago and I looked at it but thought I was happy using Joplin (another text-based note tool) which I still think is a great app. Took a brief look at it and thought it was just too complicated...

Then recently, I went down a youtube rabbit hole watching videos of how people use Obsidian... OMG 🤯

Now I have 2x Vaults, one for work and one personal. Dataview, templater, quickadd, periodic notes have just changed everything. Now I have documents for each person at work with their basic info and then when I make a meeting, I can just tag them which then updates a dataview table that shows what meetings I've been in with them.

Tasks allows me to just create a bunch of todos in random notes and then I can create a table to show all my undone tasks.

I mean, why did I wait so long? I've been using it for about 10 days now and it's been such a game changer. Sorry Joplin.
