    just had an old canadian dude walking his poodle by my yard (which is fenced) yell at me just for owning a pittbull while i was in my own yard with my dog watering my plants "get rid of that damn thing! one just mauled carlos the other day!"

    I just did something incredibly stupid.

    I have a very cheap china-made swappable head driver set - completely worthless piece of shit: The metal hexagonal bit detached from the plastic handle long ago, making it utterly useless. I'm fixing things around the house, so had the superglue out to fix a mug and a pan handle - thought I'd fix the driver whilst at it.

    Put superglue in plastic handle, inserted the metal hexagonal bit, then - and stop me if you know what happens next - decided to hit it into place with a hammer.

    As I was swinging hammer, my subconscious had a passing moment of alarmed self-ciriticism and sure enough as the hammer made contact, I saw this spatter of superglue emanate from the handle, with a droplet heading straight towards my eye.

    There's not much less worrying to ask your partner from the garden "Dear, do me a favour - look up what I should do if I get superglue in my eye?"

    15 minutes later and it's all gone, along with a few eyelashes.

    Fucking idiot.

    'Bone broth'.

    It's fucking stock, you cunting ignorant hipster cretins.

    • we live in a SOCIETY!renderedred
    • Bone broth and stock are most definitely not the same things. Not sure why you would blame ignorant hipsters considering the difference is ancient.monospaced

    • Let me summarise it for you:
      Broth: made from meat.
      Stock: made from bones.
      'Bone broth': over-priced stock named to make NYC suckers pay more for it.
      Continuity
    • Yet there are broths made without meat and stocks made with bones. Of course there’s a difference.monospaced

    • Boys. BOYS! This discussion belongs in Stock of the Day.BustySaintClaire
    • Yeah, where's the outrage coming from? I thought the difference is designation was simply bone broths are fattier and more gelatinous, stocks are thinner?garbage
    • Also had no idea that "bone broth" was a hip term. I remember my grandmother calling it that when I was a kid.garbage
    • Stocks require a shitload of gelatine from collagen, so that when they're reduced in sauces, they give the sauces body without a thickening agent.Continuity
    • And that you get ONLY from bones. Also known as a bone broth.monospaced
    • @continuity Agreed. I grew up being told bone broth was a fattier base with more body after you cooked out most of the liquid and were left with fatty goodness.garbage
    • A bone broth used the carcass. Stock was more of making a roux and was artificially thickened by tossing in minced chicken fat and some corn starch.garbage
    • Also don't knock it, but pigeon bone broth is.. kind of amazing. We should really have a cooking challenge thread.garbage
    • I think I could best sum it up by saying I don't really give two fucks about nomenclature, but if friends at a dinner party are fucking things up..garbage
    • ..in the kitchen I find the most polite way to hand them a cold drink and steer them away from the cutting board. But in a loving way.garbage
    • If you're using a roux to make stock, you're doing it wrong. A proper stock is made using joint bones (beef, veal) and carcasses (poultry) only, along with ...Continuity

    My Sister-in-law...
    She somehow convinced my wife to go on a little vacation with her. My wife totally deserves a break from me and our two young boys but it was her idea and my wife ended up booking the entire trip on our credit card. The trip is this week and she mysteriously just quit her job saying it was too stressful. She works at an ice cream shop in the mall! I have a feeling she couldn't get the days off so she just quit. Now I get the credit card statement and ask my wife to ask her sister for half of the trip and she says she can't pay right now because she doesn't have a job!
    I have a feeling my wife will buy everything on the trip for her and we will never see a dime from her.

    • ha. I have a friend who works in a [n admittedly quite upmarket ] ice cream shop, who is always complaining about how stressful it is. He's 2 years older than INairn

    • im patiently waiting for you guise to acknowledge your follies. i ment it as a joke in which you dont digest with your ears but your butts, sorry.yurimon
    • Can you patiently wait in silence. Fanx.set
    • Canadian? Jkdocpoz
    • say sorry sorryyurimon
    • If we can get back on topic... I've posted about this before. It's a weird phenomenon I've noticed for years.mg33
    • For example, waiting in line at a store. Maybe there are 4-5 people ahead of me. Maybe it takes a few minutes to get to the register.mg33
    • And the salesperson's first statement is "sorry about the wait." It's odd especially when you as a customer give off no impression of negativity.mg33
    • I knew there'd be a wait; that's part of the deal in a line of any kind. Sales people should look for visual indications of frustration before apologizingmg33
    • for something they may have not even done wrong.mg33
    • But what you're saying set, was it more of like a simple acknowledgment connected to something physical? Like, being in your way?mg33
    • I tell people all the time "don't be sorry, you were there first," like at the grocery store, if someone is ahead of me selecting an item.mg33
    • It's just that immediate assumption that you did something wrong / why acknowledge wrongdoing if you didn't?mg33
    • I'm a bit like that because I had abusive parents. He might have had the same.mugwart
    • sorry mg33imbecile
    • All this reminds me of the high-strung

    "What about my right not to be offended"

    • Not many people use these words but tons of them feel it right down to their corenb

    in response to Jagara above..
    guilty as charged.

    can I do everything I do on a laptop? definitely
    is it as fun? definitely not

    people spend money on hobbies.

    some people have cars they only drive once a year and spend 364 days polishing and tuning. Other people get tattoos, others collect baseball cards, sneakers..

    I would argue if people like collecting hardware and tinkering away at, what's the problem?

    I have zero interest in being a musician for a living, or even really putting that much music out.. I do it because its a nice escape for me.. its a thing I have been doing for 25+ years and I enjoy making all the machines talk to each other.

    I assume this post wasn't about me, maybe it was, I will be ignorant on that .. but given I was instantly tagged in the comments I figured I would weigh in.

    I guess I would argue that at least, compared to other things people collect, I can at least creatively express my ideas using them. I like sneakers, but wearing a pair of shoes doesn't give me the same expression as making a song..

    as for modular synths.. its the nerd level of an already nerdy past time.. its the I have too much disposable income and didn't buy a sportscar for my middle aged crisis

    • not to mention, its all just money sitting there waiting to be sold again. need 5k in 2 days, drop some modular and bam.. solved.autoflavour
    • I sense Jagara is just a purist and hates people having hobbiesautoflavour
    • and to be honest, can I do everything on a laptop isn't accurate anyway.. even with emulations the quirky inconsistency of some devices just happen by accidentautoflavour
    • in my time making music I went from completely outside of the box, to completely inside and now a hybrid, where its mostly outside againautoflavour
    • also, ALDI laptop LOL.. brah I have 2019 MacBook Pro i9 and I am constantly pushing it to CPU overload.. you underestimateautoflavour
    • well said. i don't have a shit ton of equipment, mostly reason, and it provides me with many happy hours of farting about making horriblehans_glib
    • noises that everyone else finds pretty objectionable. their loss.hans_glib
    • On a completely different note, @hans_glib, I've been seeing your latest posts on IG. Don't know where you are, but it looks seaside-y!Continuity
    • @autoflavor I made a semi-joking comment about a very general pet peeve of mine, in a thread called "Punches For:". Don't take it so personally, dude ;)jagara
    • Hey Auto, I tagged you as I love how much gear you have and I know you're massive synth geek.Ianbolton
    • I don't care what people use to make their music as long as they're finding something they love and can try new thingsIanbolton
    • when Shape said "All that equipment and no melody, groove, or creativity. So melody and groove are what makes good music? Nah mate!Ianbolton
    • all good.. just wanted to chime in.. the all gear no idea crowd bug me also, but gotta start somewhere I guess.autoflavour
    • and if im honest, its the all gear no idea crowd who then go on to sell all the gear cheaply when they realise its not for them.. so its win win.autoflavour
    • its a delicate ecosystem .. host and parasiteautoflavour
