    From the home office in San Diego, where I'm trying to clean up some of the... HOLY SHIT IS THAT THE ULTIMA COLLECTION? SWEEET FIGHT!

    It's a fine city until you take just one wrong turn.

    Did you miss the part when I said she was also crazier? I mean, there are rules, but rule #1 is "I want to live."

    He's the one in the middle, you drunken sot. This is my kind of football weather.

    You should ALWAYS rinse your rice. Not just because it's sticky, but because it's DIRTY, and has arsenic on it. Also, stickiness is more a function of the kind of rice it is. Also also, sticky is not a bad trait in rice. Also also also, I don't agree with those who are saying a rice cooker is a must. It's great if you eat rice daily like we do. But it's really no big deal to cook it stovetop.

    ... there's no meat in rice porridge...

    Then I wouldn't bother. We actually have two pans for ours to make it easier to use twice in a day without having to clean up. Which happens often enough to justify it.

    It's not, but if you're eating rice daily, a good rice cooker is fantastic. Plus it has settings for steaming (eg 小笼包) and porridge/粥 and other things. Ours gets as much use as the microwave and never leaves the countertop.

    I take it back. My wife tops her. On both axes.

    You have to remember how old that movie is. All the servers and data that had the evidence were likely in a small, badly-ventilated closet in that very building. Backups were probably in a drawer in a filling cabinet. Having things on servers in data centers someone else ran wasn't very common for businesses of that size back then.

    That was the old saying, that you had to buy two Jaguars: One to drive while the other's in the shop. I remember hearing that expression in the 1980s.

    I mean... Chrysler was godawful even before then. Ford actually made Jaguar reliable. Boring as hell, but reliable.
  15. Rimbo
    I'm not sure Jaguar even HAS a market any more. Not even those guys. I think their last remaining market was "Englishmen who still hold on to the love of British Engineering in the face of all evidence to the contrary," the same audience who buy Triumph motorcycles more or less, but I think that generation has mostly died off now. Plus, ownership changes - being owned by Ford, and now Tata - means you're not even getting something properly British, but the product of one or another of the former colonies. The romance is dead.

    I mean... are you suggesting Portia de Rossi ain't hot?
  17. Rimbo
    All this stuff about that and nothing about her relationship with Ratt's Robbin Crosby anyway, both of them are dead

    That's a gal who is at the peak of the crazy/hot scale on both axes. Worth it

    Where's the fucking car, Lebowski?
  21. Rimbo
    This is 100% true.
  22. Rimbo
    Oh, that's fucking interesting. I've been struggling to handle even one drink, and this year's tests came back pre-diabeetus.

    Except for the bit where we believe we're God's gift to football. But it's not our fault! We happen to actually be God's gift to football.
