Late Sun. Morn/Early Afternoon Zero Content Open Thread [OregonMuse]
— Open Blogger

This morning, I diced up an habanero pepper for salsa, and a half hour later, I absentmindedly rubbed my left eye. Note to self: Always Wash Your Hands.

And for those of you who are done with the book thread, he's one with nothing in it. And what better picture to accompany such a null thread than one of Captain Zero himself?

I think he's taking a (much deserved) break for a couple of weeks.  Polls right now really don't matter, so it won't hurt us not to have our Big Technicolor Maps for a while, and I'm sure he's pretty close to burnt out, whether he knows it or not.

@AllenG,

I figured as much, but he tweeted about it, then tweeted a bunch of polls back to back then went completely silent, (on twitter at least, can't speak for the comment threads) so I was just curious if everything was OK in his neck of the woods.

I agree on the burn out .

30 We normally grow a bunch of red savina (type of habanero) every year. Then I make jerk, sauce and powdered items to give away.

37 About pepper and hand washing.
Back when the son was a little pecos, he enjoyed feeding pequins straight off the bush to the dog. One day, after this little game, he went to use the little boy's room and came shuffling out with his pants around his ankles weeping and moaning and flinging himself around. It took me a while to figure out the source of his pain and toss him in the shower.
So your encounter with the pepper could have been much worse.

I had the misfortune of making a quart of Habenaro sauce without gloves, my hands were on fire for several days and I couldn't touch anything without causing lots of blue words to come out of my mouth.

Lava hand soap, aloe and lots of washing, "Out foul spots!" so to speak. I never repeated that, still haven't opened the quart of orange puree I made either, its just concentrated evil...

I'm sending this because I know you are bright and I care about you.The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of this old disease. The disease is called "Gonorrhea Lectim." It 's pronounced "Gonna re-elect em" and it is a terrible obamanation. The disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior involving putting your cranium up your rectum. Many victims contracted it in 2008...But now most people, after having been infected for the past 1-3 years, are starting to realize how destructive this sickness is.It's sad because Gonorrhea Lectim is easily cured with a new drug just coming on the market called Votemout. You take the first dose now and the second dose in Nov. 2012 and simply don't engage in such behavior again; otherwise, it could become permanent and eventually wipe out all life as we know it.You may want to pass this important message on to all those bright folks you really care about.

If someone is going to give Walker that much money they are probably expecting something in return. I have no idea what that is but I am scared. Is it our water? Our natural resources? Our public land? Our public utilities? Our deer herd? Is he going to ruin the environment by reducing pollution and environmental regulations? Waste money building more roads that we don't need?

73 On CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, senior Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod told host Candy Crowley that he rarely interacted with Attorney General Eric Holder in the White House and, contradicting recent testimony from Holder himself, claimed he never offered Holder political advice.

“From time to time at the White House, I would see Holder at meetings and so on, but I rarely spoke to him, and I didn’t ever speak to him on issues of policy in the Justice Department,” Axelrod said. “I didn’t speak to him about personnel issues, other than at the beginning of the administration [when] I recommended a communications person to him.”

Notice he didn't say that he never gave advise about how to handle PR ?

Dear readers,

We are working diligently towards a major revision of terms at blog which will entail quality control features for which new beta testing will take place inclusive of limited range data entries.

The limited data entries could be increased through a soon to be considered 'data-point-exchange' system wherein data amounts can be increased through the exchange of data credits in which we are soliciting outside entites to act as the counter-party at risk. So far we have sent out RFP to LGF founder to inquire as to how he would reckon moving in such direction. We have also specifically asked Daily Kos as to their feed-back and have asked them to draft a response with Current TV's founder, Al Gore in order to understand what we may not be fully aware of at this time in taking on such a venture.

We will provide detail as detail becomes more detailed.

Herefore fortnight as always, regards,

Quentin -

Ronmey's team has the fast response down, too. Ann Romney was on Twitter within a couple hours of that 'never worked a day in her life' crack, hashtag #just fine appeared before SCOAMF's pressser ended I think, and this morning they have a vid of it on the Romney site.

89 I'm feeling really, really bemused. Last night, one of my permanent houseguests posted a status update on Facebook that, essentially, said there were many ways to increase income, and it was much better than cutting expenses.

Really? Does this explain why today is the tenth, and the rent has not been paid? Nor have I been told they are moving out...

There's a disconnect here.

Liberals Are Ruining America. I Know Because I Am One. by Steve Almond

He referred to Sandra Fluke as "young".  Easy prejudices, indeed. She was 30 at the time.

99 So I gotta vent about my weekend. Not an angry kind of vent but a WTF kind of thing. We are Jewish. Went to NYC for a relative's Bat Mitzvah. A secular Bat Mitzvah. Huh? Like saying secular baptism or secular confirmation. They didn't study hebrew, but yiddish. They didn't study torah but "social justice". They didn't give d'var torah speeches about the lessons in the torah but speeches about OWS, the triangle shirt waist factory fire, and the wonders of unions. And of course how unjust America is and how all militaries should be abolished. Who will protect this communist utopia? It was held at communist camp in upstate NY. Literally a communist camp, like where they teach communism and "activism". A sister camp to the "commie camp" in Massachusetts where many of the b'nai mitzvah class are going this summer. Ya know, "red diaper" babies. So confusing to my kids. Hell, confusing to me. Like being in a parallel universe. So much delusion. So much anger. So little reality. And me with no access to AOSHQ. And I come back eager to share with my reality based community and all hell has broke loose with what appears to be a circular firing squad. Glad I'm home in Texas. Glad the HQ is back and the comments too. Glad we have the courage to confront the issues in our community. I need a beer.

I just bought myself a new-to-me car, it's at the paint shop right now- a Mercedes 300TE Wagon. I know the owner of the shop I bought it from. The story is he got it for his daughter, and proceeded to mechanically go through EVERYTHING. It was scheduled to be painted, so all trim and glass was removed from the body. Then she decided she didn't want that, she wanted a sedan instead. So I picked up what should have been a 12K car for 7K. Now I can finally get rid of the beater Mercury Sable wagon- YAY!

106 "The [robotic] technology proposed appears to allow cutting and sewing at costs LESS THAN in China," according to Softwear Automation's website. "There is only one basic innovation required; that the metric of motion should not be meters or inches but rather thread count in the fill and warp directions."

Success could spell out huge disruptions for workers as robots continue taking over human jobs in manufacturing and other industries. Low-paid workers in developing countries stand to lose out the most in this case, but U.S. workers won't gain much, either. Still, U.S. businesses could once again regain a foothold in the garment industry and win back a share of international trade.

The robotic revolution won't stop there. Dickerson has also suggested robots could return manufacturing of smartphones, computers and TVs to U.S. shores — an idea expressed in an email to the National Institute of Standards and Technology in 2011. A robotic uprising there could turn up the heat for companies such as Foxconn that manufacture Apple's iPhones and iPads.

Posted by: AmishDude at June 10, 2012 10:10 AM (J5tI6)

112 Named after the Polish-American antiquarian bookseller Wilfrid M. Voynich, who acquired it in 1912, the Voynich Manuscript is a detailed 240-page book written in a language or script that is completely unknown. Its pages are also filled with colorful drawings of strange diagrams, odd events and plants that do not seem to match any known species, adding to the intrigue of the document and the difficulty of deciphering it. The original author of the manuscript remains unknown, but carbon dating has revealed that its pages were made sometime between 1404 and 1438. It has been called "the world's most mysterious manuscript."

Theories abound about the origin and nature of the manuscript. Some believe it was meant to be a pharmacopoeia, to address topics in medieval or early modern medicine. Many of the pictures of herbs and plants hint that it many have been some kind of textbook for an alchemist. The fact that many diagrams appear to be of astronomical origin, combined with the unidentifiable biological drawings, has even led some fanciful theorists to propose that the book may have an alien origin.

 I don't get it. I've heard from feminists before that the culture that prevented women from flaunting their looks was sexist.  Desexualizing women was sexist, and sexualizing women is sexist. Everything is freaking sexist. It could be argued that people needs jobs right now, and showing off products is a pretty cushy one. What's the big deal?

I'm working my ass off, an some lazy SOB within a 10 mile radius is sittting in his air-conditioned house, eating Bacon- and laughing at me! I was immediately in a rage. I know he's within 10 miles, cuz Guinness says that's the record for Bacon aroma detection is 10 miles: Muscle Shoals, Alabama, 1952; and my sniffer aint that great (I used to think that was a good thing). A friend of mine put me hip to it; it was his a man for his home town. He was out working and smelled Bacon. He followed the smell trail back to his own home, and caught his wife with another man. He killed them both. Cowardly newspaper reports called the ghasty crime a double homicide- and not Theft of Bacon. Bastards.

201 When it comes to resumes I've found your best bet is to customize each one for each job application. I know that sounds odd, but the thing you have to remember is with most companies the first place your resume will go is to the HR department. The people reading them first are going to be checking to see that you meet the requirements listed in the ad. So, if you focus on your job experience in such away that you are more or less spitting their own buzzwords from the ad back at them, you usually at least get to the interview process. Never assume that your experience is "implied". For example, if you worked on a computer help desk for anyone with common sense that would imply you have customer service skills. Nope, if the job ad calls for customer service skills, make sure you mention customer service under your computer help desk job description. I know that sounds insane - but believe me, it works.

And I had a roommate who liked toasted English muffins spread with jelly. One day he told me "When you use a knife to cut up peppers, be sure to put in the sink."

It's been a while since I've done a resume, but I used the KISS format - Keep It Simple, Stupid.  My high school and college and the years I attended, each place I worked, for how long, and a person to contact to verify.

Why, well that way if the guy only shows up for a couple of weeks and does a horrible job, when someone gets pissed and goes back to HR they can pull out the resume and say, but see? He met all the requirements on paper. How could we know? Lol.. sad, but true

Don't just wash your hands use dish washing liquid at a minimum and wash twice. I use laundry detergent after chopping anything stronger than a jalapeno.

Best thing I've found for cleaning hands afterward is to use undiluted liquid handsoap or dish soap.  Wash hands thoroughly with the soap and no water, then rinse off.  Then repeat with a regular handwash.  Works for me anyway..

227 So many good memories from this thread.  The first cookbook I ever bought was titled "Totally Hot! The Ultimate Hot Pepper Cookbook".   Unfortunately, I didn't read the section on proper handling of chopped peppers.   Took a leak after chopping habaneros.  Then wiped later wiped my eyes.   So I was hurting all around.   But the wife (then just started dating) was over, and I couldn;t explain why I was in such pain.   

Now when I chop peppers, if I don't have gloves, I first wash with dishwasher soap (cuts the oil).   Then rinse with rubbing alcohol (capsaicin is alcohol soluble), then soap again.

As for the previous comment, milk does help, but it's the casein in it that helps, not the lactic acid.

Also, I ran cross country in HS.  Someone did the old "Atomic Balm in the Jockstrap" bit to me my freshman year.   Just Dayum, that was memorable.  Thought I burned that sucker off before I had a chance to use it properly.

230 "Screw you, pet, mon. I the hottest!"

Touche.  The reality is the top 5 or 6 big boy hots are just genetic modifications of Habaneros to get an extra scoville rating or two.

I'm actually an analytical chemist, and I can say for certain, OK actually IMO i guess, that each time the guiness book of records for hottest pepper is broken, it is more related to the (poor) calibration of a HPLC instrument doing the capsaicin analysis than the sudden discovery of the new world's hottest pepper.  They are ALL hot.  Above a certain threshold, it really doesn't matter.

And yes, I have scotch bonnets.  They are flowering now as a matter of fact.  ha!

for all you pepperheads....this is a must bookmark.   www.thehotpepper.com

This you pathetic drive-by troll: 

 

http://minx.cc/?post=330014

 

125 >>>LGF is accusing you of deleting a March 3rd "anti-woman" Sandra Fluke tweet
 

I did delete it. What happens is that every so often Eric Boehlert retweets it to his followers, and then his followers begin knocking me. Which is sort of fine, but it's as if I *just said* this. I said it months ago. It was covered. It's on MMFA's website.  

I just decided I was tired of lefties rapping it as if it was fresh news. It's old news.  

The tweet was a joke. It was part of my statement that *jokes are usually mean*, and yet the media only notices this when a conservative makes them. Bill Maher is cruel every show, but only when Rush says something is joking a hatecrime.  

So I wrote:  

"Don't call Sandra Fluke a slut. Call her what she is, a low-rent rent-a-chooch from East Whoresville."  

And that tweet, in context, was illustrating the basic point that humor is usually inherently mean.
 
This whole stupid thing -- that Maher can crack nasty jokes with impunity, but Rush limbaugh does it and it's a hate crime -- is just galling.  

WE ARE NOT SECOND CLASS CITIZENS. WE DO NOT HAVE A SMALLER LIST OF RIGHTS THAN LIBERALS. OUR POLITICAL BELIEFS DO NOT SERVE TO STRIP US OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES SHARED BY * ALL * AMERICANS. THE RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES OF AMERICANS ARE NOT HELD ONLY BY LIBERALS.

  That was the point. I'm tired of the context being stripped away from it.

234 I did something similar with habeneros. Finished making the salsa and went to the loo to empty the dew from my lily. Bigggggg mistake !! Then I remembered reading somewhere that toothpaste can fix it and I am in the bathroom merrily brusing away when my son walks in......Ummmm, dad,,,whatcha doing ? We still laugh about it.

235 I have developed the most FABULOUS mango habenero wing sauce, and salsa recipes.  Took YEARS to perfect.   Hit me up.  petpetrick86@yahoo.com.    I will share.if you feel worthy.  And if you have a titanium tongue. hah.  that sounds kinky.

236 The tweet was a joke.  It was part of my statement that *jokes are usually mean*, and yet the media only notices this when a conservative makes them.
Bill Maher is cruel every show, but only when Rush says something is joking a hatecrime.

So I wrote:

"Don't call Sandra Fluke a slut. Call her what she is, a low-rent rent-a-chooch from East Whoresville."

And that tweet, in context, was illustrating the basic point that humor is usually inherently mean.

That is perhaps the biggest pile of steaming post hoc justification I have ever seen. I didn't think it was possible for my opinion of Ace to be lower than it was; I was wrong.

WE ARE NOT SECOND CLASS CITIZENS. WE DO NOT HAVE A SMALLER LIST OF RIGHTS THAN LIBERALS. 
OUR POLITICAL BELIEFS DO NOT SERVE TO STRIP US OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES SHARED BY * ALL * AMERICANS. 
THE RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES OF AMERICANS ARE NOT HELD ONLY BY LIBERALS.


Riiiiiiiight - because holding people accountable for the statements they actually make is "stripping them of their rights".  Do you people ever listen to yourselves?

That was the point. I'm tired of the context being stripped away from it.

Meanwhile, of course, Ace is jumping head first into the "the private sector is "doing fine'" wingnut hissy fit, while pretending the paragraph it was in doesn't exist.

And he whines about "context" to hide from calling a woman who made no comment about her sexual activity "a low-rent rent-a-chooch from East Whoresville."?  Really? And you people actually buy it?

Is it any wonder this blog and denizens is considered such a laughing stock on the saner parts of the Internet?
