This is AI-powered unlike all those useless ones in public buildings, conference centers, courts etc. Wait, every subway station? What I hear is that so far there is just one of these, at Fulton Street, that will be moved around to different stations without warning. What if someone goes through the detector carrying a gun? Not clear, but one assumes several police will be in attendance to deal with the situation. No wonder they are not going to be in every station. But here’s the punchline. Like the bag checks, if someone is carrying a weapon and sees the detector, aren’t they just going to turn around and head to a different stop? I guess it might trap people who have forgotten they’re carrying a weapon. It’s also going to be interesting to see how many innocent metal objects will be detected. Oh this is back in the news again in a way that offers a theory as to why anyone was pressing for it… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilfrid Posted December 4, 2024 Author Share Posted December 4, 2024 If you are going to have a very loud phone conversation in the same room as a bunch of strangers, best to omit your speculation about whether Pete Seeger (“he’s a folk singer”) is related to Bob Seger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted May 24 Author Share Posted May 24 The dingbat is me. I sliced some tilapia filets into manageable strips, dipped them in beaten egg, then dredged them in seasoned breadcrumbs sprinkled with oregano. Fired up the pan and fried them. I thought. I ate two of them as tacos with lettuce, hot sauce, crema, etc. Another two I rested in the fridge overnight. Lunch today I think fish sandwich. I prep the bread with butter and mayo, warm the fish briefly in the microwave (shoot me) to take the chill off, and bite into the result. The fish is raw. It looked, and was, beautifully golden and breaded, but it had never gone into the pan last night. I cooked some bacon and chopped it into the bacon fat, so good result.

StephanieL Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 We were having 2 friends over for dinner yesterday and I was planning to make a pie using phyllo dough. N said I can work directly from frozen. Turns out there are 2 types of frozen phyllo dough: the kind you can use directly from the freezer (flat) and the kind you need to thaw out for several hours (rolled). Guess which one I'd bought. N put together a very quick rough puff pastry, which only sort of saved the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
