    irondwill: there was once a wise swami who sat on a mountain
    it was rumored far and wide that he knew the answer to all things
    people would climb the mountain and ask difficult questions to try to stump the swami


    Frankie: are you going to tell me you are not the swami and I cant ask you


    irondwill: one day, a man thought he had the perfect question to stump the swami
    he climbed the mountain through trials
    eventually emerging at the top


    Frankie: are you copying this from something?


    irondwill: when he stood before the swami, he pulled a small bird from his pouch
    he had carefully nurtured this bird on his ascent up the mountain, and, while tame and unlikely to fly away, it was perfectly alive


    Frankie: this is killing me


    irondwill: he cupped the bird between his two hands
    and asked the swami
    "is the bird in my hands alive or dead"?
    the swami stroked his beard
    and paused
    and then said
    "if i say that the bird is alive, you will crush and kill it"
    "however, if i say that the bird is dead, you'll open your hands and reveal that it is still alive"
    "the answer to the question is this:"
    " the life of the bird is in your hands"
    and so it is with our plans for this evening

    To be fair there's an implication of capability along with that. It could be charitably interpreted to mean "the only ship of force in the quadrant", or even more charitably as "the only ship of its class" in the quadrant, given that the Enterprise is meant to be a capital ship type affair.

    quadrant gets used all the time to mean things other than "1/4 of the galaxy", though, particularly before Next Gen kind of codified some of that

    I just pretend they mean some other arbitrary 4-way division of space.

    What are the odds of these things getting stolen or destroyed at your place?

    oh thankfully the really malignant one (my juggalo brother) would not look at it. he is about cash, electronics etc

    what is the situation there now, dude? is he persona non grata in your aunt's house or do you have to resign yourself to hiding your money and phone every night?

    he is in jail on yet another potential charge. i guess he'll find out soon if this one goes to trial.

    Little bit, but this is a very small company and I've only been here for six or seven months, whereas the core four have had this dynamic for a decade. (Now he's yelling at the business partner.) I am sitting at my desk trying very hard not to panic.

    hmm

    You don't really need a chef's knife and a santoku. The santoku will do anything the chef's knife can do.

    The grip is slightly different. You kind of go more over the top with a santoku than a chef's knife.

    Chef:

    Santoku (not the most demonstrative pic):

    But once you get used to the grip difference, santoku is pretty much all you need.

    unless you eat steak often you probably don't need a set of steak knives

    I don't know what an egg ring is

    I use my cast iron skillet and my cast iron dutch oven a lot, both were reasonable (lodge)

    I'd say start out slow buy a few cheap things and don't splurge

    yeah i am not really sure if i'm gonna grab one. i'm determining to cook more now that i have an income (and eat less of my aunt's microwaveable salisbury steak and rice a roni dinners) and all i think i *need* is a chef's knife and a decent nonstick pan. we already have plenty of the basics (big pots, roasting pans, flatware, measuring cups, can openers, etc), and i'm not interested in replacing all that stuff since i am not gonna live here forever. i'm just trying to prune it down to a list of what i should get to be able to easily and enjoyably cook some food for myself for the next couple years.

    egg rings are little circles that you rest in a pan and pour an egg into. Great for making things like your own sausage egg McMuffin type meals.

    Nurse mode off, just gonna enjoy looking weird for a while as my brain cells flare white hot and die.

    Eeek. Unfortunate side effects? I thought most of those meds just made you sleepy.

    I understand that the whole point of the Enterprise was that it was a peaceful science / exploration vessel.

    At the same time, the damn thing was nearly destroyed for one reason or another practically every week.

    Not exactly the place to raise kids.

    Not to mention all the times they are knowingly heading to battle and don't separate the saucer from the battle section...sure, you'll probably win, but are you really going to gamble a thousand civilian's lives on it?

    Cast iron and (stainless steel to a less extent) are what I consider the equipment of food hipsters.

    You don't need them, sure they're wonderful if you want to invest a full time job in keeping them in working order. But just like you don't need to listen to your music in lossless quality, you don't need crazy cookware either, because fuck that noise.

    Grab some pots and pans at walmart and call it a day.

    Pft, no thanks.

    The office is one room and we have one bathroom and also I pooped like ten minutes ago so if I went into the bathroom it would be noticed

    Interesting, don't think I've seen one used, I usually use a whoopie pan for doing my breakfast sandwich eggs. I'd strongly recommend getting a croc pot. They're fairly cheap and super easy to cook decent stuff with.

    Personally i would just buy the bare minimum to get started. You can always buy the other things later as you get more experience with cooking and get a better idea of what you do or don't need. IMO.

    Yeah. At least a few.

    I mean...it's not called the Enterprise class, so there's at least a 'Galaxy' floating around there somewhere.
