I was specifically wondering why you feel the following advice is "destructive and dangerous". You didn't answer the first time I asked. Your sugegstion fails to equalise new cells in a battery nor does it charge them fully as the article I quote advises. http://al.howardknight.net/?ID=159276379900 ================== START ================= Only the initial charge needs be very long. After that just charge and discharge normally. This site is authoritative: "Battery manufacturers recommend that new batteries be slow-charged for 16?24 hours before use. A slow charge brings all cells in a battery pack to an equal charge level. This is important because each cell within the nickel-cadmium battery may have self-discharged at its own rate. Furthermore, during long storage the electrolyte tends to gravitate to the bottom of the cell and the initial slow charge helps in the redistribution to eliminate dry spots on the separator. Battery manufacturers do not fully format nickel- and lead-based batteries before shipment. The cells reach optimal performance after priming that involves several charge/discharge cycles. This is part of normal use; it can also be done with a battery analyzer. Quality cells are known to perform to full specifications after only 5?7 cycles; others may take 50?100 cycles. https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_nickel_based_ batteries ================== END ================= |

It always felt like it tasted better dry with the pineapple and processed ham. And if I"m using garlic on the topping, I prefer a white sauce over the red. It tastes too much like pasta sauce otherwise. I guess I'm picky. > flopped down on to her chin and stuck there like napalm. She screamed > in a panic and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

And I slice the pizza right on > the perforated pan. Gary doesn't say what is bad about it. My first job out of high school was at an independent pizza shop and we used perforated sheets. And large spatulas to remove them from the pizza oven to the cutting table. I look back at that job as one of my favorites. I'd show up around 9am and we'd make dough, cut them to size, ball them, celo to rise. Vegetables would be delivered and I'd spend hours chopping. My least favorite chore was going from apartment complex to complex hanging coupon sheets on door knobs. As a naive 18-year old it was lost on me that it was a money laundering operation at the same time. Those clues were pieced together years later. Sort of fascinating now that I think about it. -- Daniel Visit me at: gopher://gcpp.world |

Any pizza I make, Homemade or store bought > cooks just fine and the same on my solid 16" pan. I have a pizza stone that was given to me. I always felt my normal aluminum/nonstick pan works better. The pizza stone works well for frozen pizza. Because I can preheat that stone while the oven goes to temperature and I can plop the frozen thing on it. Comes out great. But when it's fresh pizza, I use that cheapy pizza pan. -- Daniel Visit me at: gopher://gcpp.world |

We visited the International Slavery Museum when we were in Liverpool. It was interesting and moving. The Brits abolished slavery about 30 years before the Yanks did. The difference, of course, is that they didn't have a civil war over the matter, nor have they spent the last 160 years trying to resolve the conflict. |

I don't have any particular feelings about it. Logically, she's right, of course. My guess is, that in the future, these two founding fathers are going to go down too. It might be real soon. People that actually know history also know Washington freed his slaves. They don't hold grudges against everything that happened over 200 years ago. It was never right to own slaves but it was not seen that way at the time. Same as many other habits and traditions from the past. We pretty much got rid of human sacrifice and cannibalism too. Despite having been an active slave holder for 56 years, George Washington struggled with the institution of slavery and spoke frequently of his desire to end the practice. At the end of his life, Washington made the decision to free all his slaves in his 1799 will - the only slave-holding Founding Father to do so. Jefferson only freed a handful but made some attempts to treat them ore humanely. |

Thank you... Historical revisionism can be extended to absurd lengths, any past historical figure can be held up to scrutiny, but we have the luxury of hindsight, they did not. FDR interned the Japanese, but he led us through the Depression and WWII...Churchill was a "colonialist" and held what we now know are racist views but he led the UK and the Allied alliance through WWII...LBJ had segregationist views, but when he became POTUS he pushed through important civil rights legislation...and a million more examples. My "metric" is "Did these figures leave the world a better place?"...the above examples, despite their flaws, did on - balance IMNSHO... There is a current discussion on an East German history FB group I participate in, it is about the Lenin statue just erected by a far - left group in a small German town. Some on the group are defending Lenin, claiming that the Bolsheviks "despite their flaws" made the USSR into a modern nation, others say (myself among them, though I am not in the discussion anymore) that his bloody tactics led to the 100 million dead that communism/socialism are responsible for. Their are similar arguments for Stalin, that despite the purges and the millions dead by his hand, that he led the USSR to victory over the Nazis. Same arguements I've seen about Castro, etc....and there are still a few odd ducks out there who actually *defend* the building of the Berlin Wall...and so on! Lenin, Castro and their ilk have NOT left the world a better place overall according to my historial metrics, so they should be condemned and not nicely commemorated... Thing is, many in their "rush to historical judgement" do not know history, thus we have the present - day US "progressives" dissing Washington, Jefferson, even Lincoln. And some BLM and other activists disrespect the actions of MLK, Rosa Parks, Marian Anderson, many others... I'm just sayin... ;-) -- Best Greg |

I found another smaller bottle of Baby Ray's bbq sauce. Half full, but added some beer (Coors Banquet) and ketchup. Also added some pwdrd garlic, sweet ginger, and red ppr. Got some WW house brand slider buns (not as good as King Hawaiin). Got NO liquid smoke but wouldn't use that much, anyway (unless it was waaaaay better than the bottle I threw away. Like the "stove pipe" anology). The last batch turned out, OK, but had potato salad and cole slaw to go with it. Only got some fresh grn onions and hummus, this time. Oh, and quinoa ain't bad, either. Better'n "rice". ;) nb |

A lot of people are liking it because there's money to be made. As we all know, money changes everything. I live in Kaneohe now. I don't much like going to Kailua anymore. Too much tourists. |

The canned turnip greens were fine. :) Yes, I could go out and buy a bunch of greens and cook them myself (with a bit of white vinegar) but even a huge bunch cooks down to nothing. With the canned I don't have to wash each leaf to get the sand out and then cut out the tough stems. Canned is easier and tastes good. Jill |

Doesn't always work going after the driver, though. My nephew, who was about 21 at the time and still living with his dad, was riding his bicycle on a suburban sidewalk when he got hit by a drunk who was driving a beat up old pickup truck. (The truck jumped the curb and wound up in someone's front yard.) The guy had no drivers license, much less insurance. The guy didn't have a pot to piss in. He went to jail but my brother had to fork out the money to pay for nephew's extensive medical bills. :( Jill |
