I'm currently surviving Snopocalypse 2016 and when I'm cooped up, I cook up a storm. Today's dish is Sriracha Kimchee Quinoa. Cook one 12 ounce bag of quinoa according to directions. I used veggie broth as the liquid, but water would probably work just as well. When it's cooked, dump in two pint jars of kimchee (including any liquid), squirt in sriracha and some sweet chili sauce until it tastes good.
I've replaced my old PGP with a new key so I can take advantage of modern hash types, as well as remove old hashes, and properly use sub-keys. You can find information about my keys, including a transition statement signed by both my old and new keys, here.
I've long been a critic of one-time donation memes. While they give a boost to many worthy charities, they don't sustain. I feel like they're the empty calories of the karmic world, satisfying for a while, but in the end leaving you (and others) feeling empty. As any charity what it wants, and it wants an ongoing, dedicated, sustainable donor base. In the ongoing theme of naming the days after the (American) Thanksgiving Holiday (Black Friday, Small-Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, Why The Fuck Are We Still Eating Leftovers Sunday) the latest to show up on my horizon is Giving Tuesday.
This is not a nostalgia show ... it's more like a data recovery show. -John Linnell, 29 November 2015, 20:42 Almost 20 years ago, I had the good fortune of being introduced to They Might Be Giants by several of my core group of college friends. By that point they had been performing as a full band for several years, instead of the two musicians and a tape machine that they started out as.
This gets me every time I try to do it: it's much easier for me to create all but the most simple of zpool setups via the command-line zpool command than to use the FreeNAS GUI. But, if you do that, the GUI has no idea that the pool exists. There's a tantalizing "Import Volume" option, but if you don't remember the trick, it never finds anything. The bit I always forget is to run zpool export on the pool in question.
I had some carrots, celery and cherry tomatoes that were rapidly heading south, so I whipped up this stew tonight. Throw the carrots in a big saucepan (I really need a Dutch oven), add a bit of water, crank on high. While that's going, chop up the celery and add. Salt and pepper. When that starts to get soft, throw in the tomatoes. I ended up throwing in a large can of Italian-style peeled tomatoes, half a small jar of capers, some dried parsley, paprika and some nutritional yeast.
This morning's breakfast experiment was a success, and very simple. 12 eggs, 7 ounces of "Greek" yogurt, salt and pepper. Whisk until frothy, add eight ounces of shredded cheddar cheese. Put in a nine inch baking dish, pre-greased. Bake in a 350 deg. F oven, stirring every 10-15 minutes, until set. Good with some melon and berries on the side. Probably just as good without the cheese.
Those who stand against the arc of the universe as it bends towards justice need to get out of the way, or be consigned to the dustbin of history. An important victory was scored today, hard won and long overdue. Yet another wrong against the equality of all people was righted today. Tonight we celebrate. Tomorrow we fight. We fight for the LGBTQ youth who are more likely than their straight peers to attempt suicide, who are disowned by their families for who they are, who are forced out on the streets.
#ServAdv: b/d, there is no #A train service b/t 168 St and 207 St, due to a police investigation of a customer injury at 181 St. — NYCT Subway (@NYCTSubway) May 8, 2015 I was on the way home from wandering around downtown tonight, and I got on the A train heading uptown from 42nd Street. It was late enough I got a seat, so I was happily sitting there reading a book, not paying attention.
Many many moons ago while in college a friend of mine introduced me to the author Terry Pratchett and his glorious Discworld series. I always recommended the series to friends, but with the gentle warning: "Buy one book, and you'll end up buying them all." Sir Terry died today at the age of 66. Many people have called him fantasy's Douglas Adams, and I'd wholeheartedly agree, although, while a fan of Adams, I always enjoyed Pratchett's writing and humor more.
