tilt the board backwards? and put something clean underneath it to catch the escapees?

koogs, Wednesday, 27 January 2016 18:44 (nine years ago)

Is it possible to get a cutting board that is textured enough to keep things still without attracting dirt?

Stevolende, Wednesday, 27 January 2016 18:45 (nine years ago)

Fucking physics in general, always making shit fall and roll and slip and whatever the fuck stupid shit it thinks is a good idea for some reason.

(This morning's example: tried twice to roll my rolling office chair forward only to have the front wheel catch and tip the chair forward instead. You can't get that one thing right, physics, really?)

Feel like there's an As Seen On TV product that could be of some help.

Slices of my finger rolling off the board onto the floor — cue helpless/aggrieved look.

Solution: stop eating vegetables

kinder, Wednesday, 27 January 2016 21:38 (nine years ago)

A possible solution to9 the rolling off cuttingboard thing might be to have 3 of the four sides have a raised edge to them. Not sure fi that hinders movement otherwise. Or if anybody selss anything like that.

My cookery teacher has us putting a teatowel under the choppingboard to prevent that moving on the table service but that may be widespread practise anyway.

Stevolende, Thursday, 28 January 2016 14:35 (nine years ago)

I solve this problem by not chopping things into discs.

ilxors ananimus (onimo), Friday, 29 January 2016 09:32 (nine years ago)

You could try and cut everything square so it doesn't roll of course. But that might not help your culinary project.

People willing to wait in line more than 45 minutes for restaurants need to re-evaluate their priorities, imo.

Darin, Thursday, 11 February 2016 23:39 (nine years ago)

Dear wife of my so-called best friend: For the second year running, you have "forgotten" to invite me to your birthday drinks until the eleventh hour, because you "forgot" I'm not on twitter and wont see your posts there, despite the fact Ive not been on twitter and you have for many years now.

Dont toss a sulk when I have to decline because less than 24 hours notice on a Friday when i have kids means I might have other things on. Grr.

I believe it came from black trans culture, which casts your question in a pretty depressing light.

yes cos clearly I knew that when I posted it.

probably one of those things that would be obvious if I heard it out loud rather than saw it typed by very not-back, not-transgendered people all over my feed

People from traditionally oppressed groups can be annoying as fuck sometimes, and it's okay to admit it.

I wasn't going for accusatory with my response, but if you dudes want to go with defensive then I guess that's fine.

errors in ebooks that i've paid money for. "High-gate" is one word. That it was split across lines in the hard copy version doesn't mean you can hyphenate it in the ebooks. "Myphonerang" is three words.

i'd submit fixes for these but i don't know where to.

koogs, Saturday, 13 February 2016 22:11 (nine years ago)

oh yeah. in my experience ebooks are sloppy as shit.

I've said it before but ANY SEARCH FIELD THAT DOES SOMETHING OTHER THAN BE A BLANK FIELD THAT YOU ENTER INFORMATION INTO.

This would include:

• Search fields that already have information inside them, so 9/10 times you perform a search for "SEdowntown pizza placesARCH."

• Search fields that fake you out by appearing to have information in them, even though it's really some sort of ghost word that turns invisible once you set the cursor inside.

• Search fields that offer terms to use that are already in the database. You'd think this would be cool, but no. For example, I frequently use a real estate database to query. I'll start entering the address, and a drop-down will appear offering "JOHN KENNEDY", "JOHN F. KENNEDY", "JOHN F. KENNEDY BLVD", etc. when really, I'd like to search all of those at once simply by looking for all streets that begin with "JOHN " instead of having to do three queries.

• I don't expect to be able to perform boolean searches on every website, but I should be able to do simple things like use quotation marks to search for an exact phrase. Getting the result Couldn't find ""metallica bass tabs"" is ridiculous.

• Wikipedia, you're still on notice for making me actually have to click on the magnifying glass instead of just hitting Enter or Go.

• And search fields that aren't even search fields, just some sort of home key. Maybe I'm tapping it wrong, but I duuno.
