Rock Creek ?
lol, when I had to provide a baby batter sample, I knew the girl that I had to give the warm sample to (in a clear sample cup), and the dude manning the microscope was a riding buddy of mine. Welcome to mountain town life.
So we asked one of the last American vendors who supply our dying industry for something and they said "We don't have anyone who can do that anymore." I'm glad I'll be retiring before we try to run this place on Excel spreadsheets.
I need to get back to Wilson’s. Been awhile since I’ve ridden there..
Do all these tech industry sales bros have a WhatsApp group chat where they exchange contacts for free drinks or something?
Where some of these people get my name and work email from, is well, a mystery. I don't hand it out all willy nilly like, ya know.

a buddy of mine runs a scientific instrument company, they bought another company recently and as the old guys retire from the company they purchased it gets harder and harder to find people who can do that particular kind of programming.
if only we had a system of mentoring and apprenticeship in place instead of "disruptive" venture backed hyper capitalism.

Have you ever looked at the mainframes that continue to run out financial systems? When was the last time Cobol was taught in schools? I was using it at US Bank just a couple of years ago.
In other innuendo news, This cracked me up so much I got out of bed at six. Last night I had to cook off three pounds of ground beef for the dog. (He has been rejecting kibble), so I cooked it off as one meat loaf.
This morning wifey went to feed the dog, and wasn’t happy that it needed to be cut up.
I asked “what’s the problem?”, so she yelled from the kitchen “it’s just one big, hard thing that I can’t deal with!!!”
Needless to say, hilarity ensued.

Perhaps she would be able to deal with it if she had more practice. You should suggest it to her.
That was implied.
Probate hearing went well.

Deadly morel mushroom outbreak highlights big gaps in fungi knowledge
Prized morels are unpredictably and puzzlingly deadly, outbreak report shows.

I’m about to tuck into a massive plate of Huevos Rancheros topped with added avocado and carnitas, and lemon poppy seed scone to start. So fucking hungry.You should have some curried sausages.
So friggin’ stoked to hear your going riding!
Same girl, same.
And that's what happens when companies don't give any thought to the future. Not the "next quarter" future - but the *actual* future...
I have worked for 2 banks in the last 8 years or so and the problem hasn't gone away. At some point you will have to switch systems and there isn't any migration tool or process that covers it.
I was laughing while I tested the latest mobile app. You can apply for a loan using your phone and the decision about your loan is made by a virtual machine pretending to be a '60s mainframe running Cobol commands. The same system that approved your grandparents mortgage.
It’s not fear of the building falling down but rather perceived inability to sleep. Despite earplugs, a sleep mask, and ultimately layering her noise canceling headphones on top of all that.
So did she look at you, the sample, then back at you with a mildly surprised expression or what
I’ve had green chile chilaquiles for breakfast every day here. 7/5 would do again. And will
Jeezus. She can't sleep 'cause she's got fuckin' headphones on her head.
Mmmm... chilaquiles...
I like to refer to those as "breakfast nachos."
It's easy to do when you can golden parachute your way out of the mess. Might as well pump your stock options and let the next guy deal with it.
We have a winner. It is an extra step, but the payoff is worth it. Deflated for consumption.
I find that amusing. They're the same fuckin' thing. Although the value is better if you get the breakfast nachos for some inexplicable reason...
Quit fucking around. Batter dip and deep fry that thing.
As a person who eats a lot of foraged (by me only) food, I suspect there is a lot more to the story. It is pretty well known that there are some fairly poisonous morel lookalikes. I personally wouldn't call them lookalikes, because the difference is easily discernible, but apparently some people struggle...Probate hearing went well.

The article makes no mention of provenance of the mushrooms. It could have been someone's neighbor Larry that sold them the mushrooms - totally not uncommon in the restaurant world. As a retail customer in a restaurant you typically can't really ask where something came from and expect an honest answer, but I would sure as hell hope the investigation takes close look at the source of the "morels."
On top of that, the description of the preparation technique sounds a little dicey. Pour boiling sauce over raw mushrooms and let them sit until served? Haha. Yeah, nope. Just give me a pitri dish to lick instead.
The other way they were served was raw. Who the fuck eats morels raw? That is a total red-flag to me. It just isn't the way they should be eaten from a flavor perspective. "No one" does this. On top of that the most common mushroom "poison" (the one that upsets your stomach) is volatile and will thus volatilize when sauteed. Piled even further on top of that is the fact that foraged food often has other yeasts, microbes, insects and worms in it. Cooking neutralizes a lot of the potential effects of those...
I bet you a dollar that the "chef" has no professional training either.
/rant. Honestly, a little surprised by how much that story caught my attention...
My wife made me get rid of my deep fryer.
The air fryer does a good job of getting them heated, though.
You don’t need all those fancy gadgets to produce delicious, artery clogging deep fried treats. Back in my bar fly days I kept a pot of peanut oil on the stove so I could make taquitos from leftovers when I stumbled home.My wife made me get rid of my deep fryer.

Some sales asshole decided to phone bomb our department when we told him email only and now we're cutting ties with his company and they are freaking the fuck out lol
Guy was trying to wildly overcharge and was told we were going to shop around and he thought the way to fix it was call everyone and get anyone to agree to it. We are supposed to get on a conference call and listen to him grovel before we dump them and he probably gets fired.
Back when my boy was cooking he used to play a game of "what can we deep fry" that has produced some amazing results. Often bacon wrapped or beer pancake battered, or both. He was an amazing chef, too bad that's an awful career choice. He enjoyed the work, it was the hours and pay that are killers.
wat WatzWay better idea than "hide the pickle" while cooking.
Those guys.........
They will somehow get my work phone number, call and then I have to tell them to scram or that I'm not responsible for yadda yadda yadda (and no I won't give you the number for who is).
But because I sit at a building that is different from where I'm "employed" from, they're next step is usually to call that building and ask to speak to "IT". Guess who answers the phone, again? Mate, the answer was no the first time and now I'm just going to hang up.
Best thing about being a chef is the cocaine that keeps you from suck starting a shotgun. It's usually shit cocaine tho. Fucking nose muffins.
