I won’t get a gf, my wife would be angry.

Piemanding,

Why don’t you ask her to be your gf. Don’t be embarrassed, just go for it.

Nah, Bashir would devise a clever plan to everything work out just fine without people returning their carts.

Also, I’m pretty sure you got Garak wrong. He would promise never to return the cart, make a loud point about it for everybody, and insist on the subject every chance he gets. Just to covertly return it when nobody is looking because when Cardassia befriends the supermarket his people would benefit from the carts being correctly parked.

skydivekingair,

And then Julian’s plan would cause more chaos than had it not been implemented because one person went ahead and returned their cart.

Bashir has no idea how carts end up back at the cart return, and between O’Brien and Garak he isn’t likely to learn.

Bashir ended up helping several patrons with cart return based injuries and forgot to return his in the process.

He also invented a cart injury vaccine while helping, but it was shuffled into obscurity by section 31 who had several cart injury assassinations planned.

While I appreciate the addition, I feel like Weyoun would command Damar to return the cart.

Damar would then drunkenly push it into the cart return and not pick it up when it fell over.

SpezCanLigmaBalls, to mildlyinteresting in Two airplanes landing at the same time with close proximity
@SpezCanLigmaBalls@lemmy.world avatar

Thought they were gonna crash like 5 times

computergeek125,

It’s a perspective trick - they’re not close as you think they are, and the United plane carries more than double the passengers of the closer Alaska.

intensely_human,

Most planes only crash once

raconteur_rob, to mildlyinteresting in Two airplanes landing at the same time with close proximity

It’s an optical illusion. The planes aren’t really that close together. The person who shot the video is using a telephoto lens and is zoomed way in. This compresses the space and flattens it out so it’s hard to judge distance. Also the plane in front is smaller than the one in the back which heightens the illusion. It’s a really cool shot!

betterdeadthanreddit,

Wait a minute, are you telling me that the hobbit actors weren’t really that small?

Everythingispenguins,

No they were, Peter Jackson just had his actor’s legs cut off for the movie

betterdeadthanreddit,

Guy heard the stage expression “break a leg” and kept thinking about it for too long.

alvvayson,

Comparing the engine sizes or counting the windows really shows that the back plane is probably double the size of the front plane.

Cool illusion.

XeroxCool,

Definitely the windows, but recent planes have gone with huge turbines so it’s not the most reliable tell. I don’t know Airbus well but the turbines on a 737-800 or Mac are pretty big compared to a - 300 or A320

Jayayess1190,
@Jayayess1190@lemmy.world avatar

The one in back is a larger 737, the other is a smaller Embraer.

get_off_the_phone,

This is what I came here for. Thank you.

intensely_human,

And this is what I came here for. So thank you too

jol,

I mean, it’s rare enough that 2 planes land at the same time. They are definitely “close” but probably some 200m apart.

Wxfisch,
@Wxfisch@lemmy.world avatar

It’s not as rare as you may think. I used to work at a weather service office located right near the end of one of the runways at IAD and it would happen a few times a day if the airport was busy and the winds were such that they were coming in from our side.

jol,

Interesting. Thank you for correcting me. TIL

O’Brien returned his cart, and yours, and was mumbling complaints about lazy people while gathering two more when somebody drove a motorized cart into him and broke his ankle.

And here I am eating an egg sandwich (very literally egg with mayonnaise[aka egg] between bread).

Looks really very delicious!

shadmere,

Look I’m going to admit, egg salad sandwiches is are delicious. Add a bunch of black pepper and a dash of cayenne? Mmm.

satanmat, to foodporn in Personal beef Wellington with pink peppercorn cream sauce, macaroni and cheese, and roasted broccoli

Yeah that looks damn good

Recipes? Please

shadmere,

Definitely. Will post then when I get to my computer.

Personal Beef Wellingtons. Two servings.

Duxelles

  • 8 ounces white mushrooms
  • 1 shallot
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 sprig thyme leaves
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp brandy (I used whiskey this time, turned out great)
  • Salt and pepper
  1. Finely chop all the solid ingredients (food processor works great for this).
  2. Heat butter over medium heat. Add mixture and saute a moment.
  3. Add whiskey, salt, and pepper. Stir.
  4. Saute 10-15 minutes or so, until the mixture is pretty dry.

Beef Wellingtons

  • Duxelles
  • 2 filet mignon steaks
  • Salt and pepper
  • Mustard
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (or make your own if you hate yourself)
  • 4 slices prosciutto
  • 2 egg yolks
  1. Thaw a sheet of puff pastry per directions (40 minutes for mine).
  2. Salt and pepper steaks.
  3. Saute over high heat for 30-45 seconds on each side to sear. Let cool.
  4. Slather mustard completely around each steak. English is the standard mustard to use, but I used Chinese because I couldn’t find English mustard, but 5. wanted something with a little bite to it.
  5. Roll out puff pastry sheet until it’s large enough that half of it could wrap a single steak.
  6. Cut puff pastry sheet in half lengthwise.
  7. Place two slices prosciutto on each piece of pastry.
  8. Place a mound of duxelles in the middle of each pastry (a quarter of what you have on each).
  9. Place a steak on top of the duxelles.
  10. Top each steak with half the remaining duxelles.
  11. Fold puff pastry up and around the steaks, sealing the edges.
  12. Wrap each constructed Wellington tightly in plastic wrap and place in fridge for 30-40 minutes (to help it keep its shape and stay sealed).
  13. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  14. Unwrap Wellingtons.
  15. Beat 2 egg yolks and use as egg wash on the Wellingtons.
  16. Score the top of each Wellington. I also sprinkled some crushed pink peppercorns on them.
  17. Bake for 20-23 minutes, until pastry is golden brown.

Pink Peppercorn Sauce

  • 1 shallot, sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, smashed
  • 2 sprigs thyme leaves
  • 1/2 cup brandy (Again, I used whiskey)
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 2-3 tbsp pink peppercorns, lightly crushed
  1. After searing beef in pan, add 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  2. Add shallots, garlic, and thyme leaves. Saute 1-2 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat. Add brandy.
  4. Flambe. After flame dies down, return to heat.
  5. Add stock. Reduce by half.
  6. Strain out solids, return to heat.
  7. Add cream and mustard.
  8. Add pink peppercorns.
  9. Reduce by half again.
shadmere,

For the macaroni and cheese, I used Chef Jean Pierre’s recipe here. I used about 7 ounces gruyere, 7 ounces white cheddar, and 2 ounces parmesan. For the topping, I used half a cup panko, half a cup of parmesan, some parsley, a bit of salt, and around 3 tbsp melted butter.

satanmat,

Damn. Thanks. I gotta go do this for wife.

Brilliant, thank you

@smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works avatar

Picard was Borg for what, a day? Seven was assimilated as a child and was rescued after a decade and a half? Two?? Hardly even comparable.

teft, (edited )
@teft@startrek.website avatar

Took the words out of my mouth. I can understand him having PTSD but regaining his humanity shouldn’t have been particularly challenging for him.

USSBurritoTruck,
@USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website avatar

Kinda wack saying Picard’s trauma isn’t comparable when it clearly effected him quite significantly.

Zorque,

Just because the trauma is there doesn't mean the trauma is the same. It definitely had an effect on him, but to say that its the same as what Seven went through is ridiculous.

hansl, (edited )

That’s the thing. Picard has a trauma. She lost her identity, childhood, sense of belonging. It’s entirely different.

Like Bane said, “you merely adopted the borg. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t anything of humanity until I was already a (wo)man.”

Edit: Also, isn’t it addressed at some point that, for 7o9, her trauma was actually to leave the borg and not being in it?

Zorque, (edited )

That's her initial trauma, yes. There's layers. Like an ogre. She uncovers more as she regains her humanity.

jaybone,

I love this autocorrect.

GreenEnigma,

I always cry when I peal the layers of an ogre.

MarmaladeMermaid,

Picard spent his childhood on an old timey vineyard in France, playing and laughing and picking grapes. Seven spent hers in a maturation tank until she was big enough to be a soldier.

logicbomb,

Still, you’d expect someone who saw it happen to Picard to phrase it better. That’s assuming it’s a direct quote.

Can you share the secrets to that Mac and cheese?

Techmaster,

No just on here.

shadmere,

It turned out great.

Blahnominous, to foodporn in Personal beef Wellington with pink peppercorn cream sauce, macaroni and cheese, and roasted broccoli

Nice! Chef Jean Pierre put out a recipe for individual beef Wellington recently. Did you happen to use his recipe? Looks delightful!

shadmere, (edited )

I did not! I actually “made up” this recipe just using the recipe I used for a full beef Wellington before. I think I took that recipe from Tyler Florence; I know I got the cream sauce recipe from him, though it initially used green peppercorns.

I did use Jean Pierre’s recipe as a guide for the macaroni and cheese, though, ha!
