    RIP Russ, NCNE (Moderator Approved)

    Leveling concrete

    This. Use some kind of a system where you can create a level top using the surface of the heads so you can trowel it to a single plane where you pre-check the level before pour. Laser can be useful here. Then pour and smooth with the float. The float will use the surfaces of the heads as a...

    Probably a mom joke for most of you, but mine passed away a few hours ago.

    May she rest in peace and may your pain find some relief when remembering the memories you've shared.

    dear ATOT, i think im a goner :(

    In the land where the river burns at night And rock-and-roll found its fame There lived a man of manlet height Brianmanahan was his name He made his living as a wordy man Squeezing out a pome or three Neffing through every single ban His mouth screamed truth like a banshee And nothing could...

    does quality bourbon whiskey matter more if your making cocktails

    What do you mean by "matter". Bourbon contains complex aroma and flavor compounds that vary among makes based on raw ingredients, fermentation, distillation, and aging. You will therefore achieve different final cocktails based on the spirit of choice. That said, people have different...

    Any microbiologists here?

    Pasteurize it (legal standards for log 5 as in CFR 21 p 133, or legal-ish through cheaper heat exchanger as HTST can be expensive) and you should be fine. Low motility in syrup. Only zygosaccharomyces even stands a chance among the yeasts as saccharomyces usually has poor osmotolerance. Your...

    Any microbiologists here?

    Standard sterilization process applies here with autoclave. Are you looking for a lethality curve instead of straight sterilization guideline? n log reduction per specie/strain?

    you know what annoys me?

    Dude, sorry, but nobody wants to hear about how inarticulate you are remembering the crotch as you practice linguistic profanity. Motherfucker, please.

    I just got married to another Anandtecher!

    One is 30% nubian 35% lamancha, 35% nigerian dwarf. Or pretty close to that, don't have exact cross numbers. The other is more like 30% lamancha, 70% nigerian dwarf 3rd gen cross. No fainting goats; we try to go for dairy. Most likely next year. Few higher priority projects right now.

    Women want to be with me And men want to be me When I say step up your frame Rhyme a little, have some game What they try is cute but tame Some would say it's even lame They ain't got this brand of cheesy: Pimpin' ain't easy. Cheers pyonir, I'm just writing some nonsense :)

    I was away working nights on a datacenter deployment for 2 of the kills. You are right, though, should have gone down differently. I learned.

    It's a normal, perfectly ordinary life. Has its joys and challenges. We're up to 21 kids overall, but a few years ago, a bear ate three of them. I killed the bear, though, so it worked out.

    I just got married to another Anandtecher!

    We broke up and married our other now-selves. The ones who grew up from the selves we were to the selves we became. Messy divorce. The goats got everything. For a more serious and less obscure answer: we worked our butts off, moved away from the city, and are enjoying a more quiet life in the...

    I just got married to another Anandtecher!

    Good to reminisce at times. What love may fuel the fire that does not end? That from within renews itself again Whose constant lights in dark and day offend All that is proper, noble, good, and sane It threatens every moral ever told That children can survive on bread alone And live and...

    How have you been a man today?

    I understand if you prefer mornings or afternoons.
