If the pan is hot enough and little enough wine is used, all the alcohol will quickly evaporate out. It actually tastes bad when that doesn’t happen; you’re supposed to let it stir around until that bit has boiled off.

That being said, the deglaze is there to get the fats and other caramelized components unstuck from the metal and reincorporate them into the meal. Any highly acidic liquid ought to do although it’ll change the flavor profile quite a bit depending on what you use. To be safe and stick to the spirit of what the recipe is trying to get you to do, you can use apple cider vinegar. But you’ll need a base to offset the acidity if you put in too much.

Ask Lopez what he thinks

Yeah I’m just gonna tell our group of 55+ year old mechanical engineers to learn Python; that’ll go over really well /s

Ass pennies?

This is the classic dementia “word salad”. I can sort of understand and follow the thread of what he was trying to say but to most observers it’s going to be a series of intelligible words that add up to have no meaning.

• What happens to the ball?

It slowly rolled toward the edge but stopped before falling to the ground. The path was somewhat eccentric because of the texture of the ball.

• What color was the ball?

Yellow

• What gender was the person that pushed the ball?

Male

• What did they look like?

Green and white track suit (why? IDK), mid 60’s Italian, chubby

• What size is the ball? Like a marble, or a baseball, or a basketball, or something else?

It was one of those foam Nerf bullets, so about the size of a shooter marble

• What about the table, what shape was it? What is it made of?

It was that black IKEA table where the four metal legs screw into the corners. About 6ft by 3ft.

• And now the important question: Did you already know, or did you have to choose a color/gender/size, etc. after being asked these questions?

The entire scene sprung into my head at once after reading that someone interacted with the ball

I get that there are solutions to the problem, but there’s no way a team of 10 can port 35 years of win32 dependence and keep the business solvent. Maybe incrementally, over the course of 10-15 years. We’re just now migrating off of .NET 4.8 because we use WCF so much.

Give me links so I can send them to my maga parents

It’s an adoption problem. My company only supports windows because all our customers use windows. All our customers use windows because all their vendors only support windows.

First thing I did when I heard it was required for win 11.

In a zoo? Probably a binturong or something like that. In the wild- an ocelot.

Tasmanian devils are unique in that they have a cancer that can be transmitted from host to host.

What’s the dew point at those temperatures?

Can’t believe they showed one guy fucking another guys foreskin, that seemed really out of place

This is terrible advice.

OP needs to set boundaries in a paper traceable way after establishing then in person (an email of “dear boss lady, I want to eat lunch alone, kthxbye”), and track violations of those boundaries (dear boss lady, today you sat with me at lunch after I asked you not to, please explain why). (Obviously be more professional).

Then after a few violations, OP can go to HR because suddenly the boss lady is starting the fire; there is a clear history of personal boundaries not being maintained, leading to a hostile work environment.

This only doesn’t work when the company is like 5 people and HR is your boss’s cousin or whatever.

A French embassy built in 1841 when the territory was its own country. It’s now a 5 minute walk to the nearest Wendy’s from there.

I started using Python ~15 years ago. I didn’t go to school for CS.

Compared to using literally anything else at the time as a beginner, pip was the best thing out there that I could finally understand for getting third party code to work with my stuff, without copy paste… on Windows.

When I tried Linux, package managers and make were pretty cool for doing C/C++ work.

Despite all that, us “regular” engineers were consigned to Windows.

We either had to use VBA or a runtime that didn’t need to be installed.

Downloading a movie only to find it was the pain Olympics or a cartel/terrorist beheading was also fun

Get a timer controlled power outlet and hook a Hitachi magic wand to it. Place the wand under your pillow. The vibration is super intense and gets uncomfortable at the highest setting. Bonus points you can wake and bate since you have a massager handy.
