@Coinage When you say #JusticeForTuvix, are you talking about the horrible Voyager episode? If so, I hate you with every ounce of my being. Voyager was an abomination, but that episode in particular was anathema.

"Donkey Kong" what's the easiest/cheapest way to make holes in cheap furniture? i want to do some uncluttering with cables and stuff and my idea is to run some cables into the drawer of this cheap ikea nightstand
dremel?
imma answer regardless of NOT BEING TAGGED
yeah dremel totally
a proper drill is hardly worth it if you're only going to be boring a couple holes
dremel and some forstner bits
Having a drill is useful. Everyone should probably own and be more comfortable with tools.

I'm comfortable with at least one tool, if you get my meaning.
hey chat. I bought an essential oil diffuser. it's making things smell like peppermint right now :biggrin:
Oooooo I have one and I make things smell like lavender. It also helps with my migraines and anxiety.
Mrs. DoctorArch has one that looks like a camping trailer, so it's pretty cute.
She also puts in cookie scented oils, which makes me want to bake cookies so freaking bad.
I've heard if you put a few drops of vanilla in your oven and turn it on warm or low or something your whole house smells like cookies.
I gave Mrs. DoctorArch some good-natured grief over buying imitation vanilla the other day. She meant well, but that stuff went into the garbage. Gah, pretty disgusting.
Bottled vanilla has two ingredients, vanilla bean and alcohol, preferably bourbon.
On the other hand, in a subsequent test in which real vanilla was tasted against extract in a cold, uncooked preparation (in this case, as the primary flavoring in eggnog), the real extract came out as the clear, nearly unanimous winner thanks to a more intense flavor and increased complexity. Some tasters also noted its booziness, a result of the fact that real vanilla extract is required by law to contain at least 35% alcohol. Imitation extracts have no such requirement, though they do contain some amount of alcohol (vanillin is alcohol soluble).
Interestingly, some tasters associate this boozy aroma with the flavor of real vanilla, which could partly explain why the real stuff scored higher in un-cooked applications. That alcohol would mostly evaporate with cooked products, and is not present at all when using actual vanilla beans.
These results reminded me of a milk taste test in which tasters overwhelmingly preferred the sweeter flavor of ultra-pasteurized milk over the milder flavor of un-pasteurized milk. Alcohol in vanilla is not a general indicator of overall quality, but is so intrinsically linked with the flavor of pure vanilla extracts in our minds that if it's absent, we think of it as less real.
In a quick subsequent test, I tried making a couple batches of eggnog using imitation extract with the addition of vodka in order to add some of the expected booziness. And guess what? When added in sufficient quantities, the extra alcohol helped produce a flavor that was almost indistinguishable from the real stuff!
So what's the final word? It depends on your usage patterns. If you use vanilla regularly in baked goods like cookies and cakes, there's no reason to spring for the fancy stuff, or even the real stuff—artificial extract will do just fine. If you drink a lot of nog or make uncooked ice cream bases or cold desserts like panna cotta, you might consider buying real extract. But if all you've got on hand is artificial extract? Don't worry, just add a touch of booze to the mix (a teaspoon of vodka or bourbon for every teaspoon of extract works), and you'll do just fine.
Some days Blue wonders why anyone ever bothered making numbers so small; other days she supposes even infinity needs to start somewhere.

Voyager is overhated, but yes, Janeway murdered him! All the captains were murderers in one of their bad episodes, but still
Even if the game is 100% not for me, I cannot knock the style.
The game oozes this cool cohesive vision from the music to the transitions to the menus and all stops inbetween.
But oh man it is exactly the kind of anime I cannot watch.
Based on my descriptions of them, Querry was like "Oh, Persona sounds... interesting. But not for me," whereas she's super down for watching me play through the Mass Effects.
Yeah, I know that the dating simulator aspects of persona are not far removed from the bioware version, I just have an internal aversion towards how Japan handles this stuff and it keeps me from enjoying it.
My few animes I have enjoyed have stayed a million miles away from relationships in modern times and a healthy distance from slice of life.
Come to think of it, I think Berserk is the only anime I have watched and liked with a major relationship story arc... and that sure didn't play out in a normal fashion for the medium.
Gurran Laggen had a love story...It just happens off screen if I remember right.

Janeway is the worst captain ever. Period. End of story. Fuck her in every way possible.

This seems like an unbiased opinion.

It is annoying having to use a separate program to do that.
