Free lunch each day at work. Today’s offering was a Cuban pork sandwich, peas, and rice. Rice had good flavor. Tastes a bit out of the box. Peas were massively overcooked and degraded into mush on the tongue. This is NOT a Cuban pork sandwich. Dry, a mostly flavorless. Bread very thick and flavorful but is just nice garlic bread, not appropriate for this use.

Say you’re driving a car and you get to a hill that is a distance of 1 mile from the base to the top and another mile back down the other side. Yeah, nature is symmetric like that. You drive up to the top at 30 mph and then wonder how fast you’d have to drive (ignore acceleration – figure the average) to get to the bottom with a total average of 60mph going from one side of the hill to the other; 2 miles.
Answers in the comments… I’ll give you a bit and put the answer up.
I made the plunge into fairly strong adulthood by doing some serious appliance shopping. I got tired of the very crappy washer that came with the new place and decided that the latest banging and leaking of the old POS meant i needed to get some real hardware to handle my soiled linens. Ok, so not that soiled but they get grungy.
Stopped at Lowes on Tuesday night after researching what i wanted and left with the Whirlpool Duet washer and dryer. They both have the steam option and all that associated goodness.
Yeah, I got the pedestals as well but there’s not a countery-thing on the top. storage below is nice and there are many more options for how to clean my clothes than i really thought were necessary. But they do the NSF sterilization so i’m curious as to whether i can put glassware in there on the steam shelf and sterilize my brewing equipment… heh.
I’m actually looking forward to going home and doing laundry. Mom would be so proud!
Another day, another post. Yay for me. Well, not quite…
Computer at work is having issues with some code style validation settings and keep kicking out errors when compiled with one program and not with another. Both are supposed to be using the same settings file. Ugh. If you didn’t get that line, two things that have no reason to act differently have started acting as polar opposites.
Angry Ben is angry.
Also, Sad Ben is sad. Or maybe just contemplative. Recent reading material about hospice care vs. medical care that only cares to extend “life” in the New Yorker:
The simple view is that medicine exists to fight death and disease, and that is, of course, its most basic task. Death is the enemy. But the enemy has superior forces. Eventually, it wins. And, in a war that you cannot win, you don’t want a general who fights to the point of total annihilation. You don’t want Custer. You want Robert E. Lee, someone who knew how to fight for territory when he could and how to surrender when he couldn’t, someone who understood that the damage is greatest if all you do is fight to the bitter end.
Interesting.
Queue the JoCo song…
It’s been a while since I’ve actually put content in here that wasn’t a rehash of twitter or meme crap. I’m bad. I know. 50 lashes…
So… last time it was 2009 or something right? Wow. So much has happened. Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up.
Ok, so list form doesn’t make it look like so much but those were the fairly major things. I’ve been making things (pottery, woodworking, etc) and some cooking/brewing. More to come though. Trying to get this back into a regular occurrence. If for nothing else than to not have to generalize chunks of life.
