the house sometimes needs heating.

For me it's justifying leaving the server on. The computer is actually a server and not a regular desktop machine so it can be rather

See how many times the typist's name appears in this recipe...

A little excessive. Some people do like to see their own
names in print.

Yeah, it was a bit much for me also.

Amusing to me much more than offensive.

Title: No-Bake Vanilla Orange Cookies
Author's notes: "This super-simple no-bake cookie is a great first
recipe for children to make. If your kids are inexperienced or
younger than 10 or 11, you should process the crumbs, nuts, and
coconut and melt the white chocolate, then let the kids loose!"
MM'd by Sean Dennis on 6 June 2011.

Doesn't look bad in the composed cookie way, and
as noted suitable for kids to make. I think, though,
that if a kid is old enough to use a processor, they're
old enough to use the oven.

Title: No-Cook Peanut Butter Balls
Categories: Candies, Kids
Servings: 6

1 c Peanut butter
1 c Light corn syrup
1 1/2 c Dry powdered milk
1 1/2 c Sifted confectioners sugar
1 lg Bowl and a wooden spoon
Paper plates and pencils

Help the children measure the peanut butter, corn syrup, dry powdered
milk,
and confectioners sugar into the large bowl. They can take turns stirring
with the wooden spoon until everything is mixed and a stiff dough forms.

Give everyone a paper plate and a pencil. Each child should write his or
her name on the bottom of the plate. Make sure they hold their pencils
correctly and use uppercase and lower case letters.

Put a portion of dough on each plate. The children can shape it into
bite-sized balls by pinching off pieces and rolling them between their
hands.

Smaller children who cannot make balls can make snakes. Then they can cut
the snakes into segments (with an adults help) to make bite-sized pieces.

Leave the peanut butter balls on the children's plates and refrigerate
them
until firm, about 1 hour.

Not a great recipe, source unrecorded

Hello MICHAEL.

This is a commercial server so no, it's not extravagant when you are running four large and power-hungry datacenter-specific hard drives in it. :D We have the TVA but their prices continually march up so there's no cost savings.

This server is -nothing- compared to my 16-core, 48 GB of RAM Dell PowerEdge rack server I have. That thing pulls down about 2000W of power continiously (sp) beween dual redundant hot-swap power supplies ... which is why I don't use
it. :D

My Max/2 board has a measly 45-watt power supply in it so it practically sips power.

You'll get the hang of it. [g]

It's a continual learning process even after a quarter-century. But this setup
is rock-solid and reliable. You're invited to create a backup account as are all participants in this echo. I can set your account as "permanent" which means the nightly Reaper process won't affect your account. That offer has always been here but I haven't advertised it.

I was using the oven at 6 but supervised. Now I use the oven and I still manage to burn myself every so often by not paying attention.

At work, I burn myself constantly handling hot stainless steel pans but that's all part of the joys of foodservice. </sarcasm>

All I can say is "WOW". That would probably come close to blowing any
circuit breaker in my house. I think that my super toaster oven draws
only about 1500 watts.

Back when I worked daily, I usually took a lunch to work and ate in the cafeteria. It was not uncommon for me to have a can of sardines (but
not in oil -- only mustard or hot sauce) or a can of fish steaks
(probably just bigger sardines cut into steaks, also flavored with
mustard or hot sauce).

So this type of sandwich might have worked for me then.

It doesn't draw that much amperage but these types of computers aren't

No recipe right now as I am on a freshly-built laptop. I forgot I had this little laptop, a five-year-old HP EliteBook Folio, hiding in a pile of paperwork. It was being discarded by one of my former employers and they

You said 2000 watts, which if I remember correctly equates to 2000/120 =
16.7 amps in a normal household circuit. I do have some 20 amp
circuits, but not all of them are. As you said, it would need some
stout wiring or at least a dedicated circuit.

I hope that they don't use the type of can that leaves a sharp edge when
opened -- or that Felix has figured out how to not cut his tongue.

The first experience I had with house wiring was when we moved from our
home in Taylorville after the mines closed. My dad bought a big old two
and a half story "American Foursquare" place in a decent neighbourhood.
The wiring in the house was a single two wire circuit of 20 amp capacity.
Both legs fused. The wires were cloth insulated and many of them had
been run inside the old gas pipes formerly used for lighting. OY!!!

I soon learned more than I ever wanted to know about "fishing" wires
between the basement and the third floor. And installing light switches/outlet boxes, etc. And making sense of a 200 amp circuit
breaker panel. Bv)=

I was wanting to use up and running, I'd have to get 400 amp service to my shack. :D

No, these are "clean opening" cans (?). No rim around the lid. Most of the time, if my mom gets it, she pours the oil into a small, shallow bowl for
Felix to enjoy.

The only big issue with that is most of these laptops are not able to run
the latest Windows. I use Slackware Linux which will run on dang near
anything these days but it's not for the faint of heart to set up. However, once it is set up, it is rock solid.

As for the picnic, my finance company is being nice and letting me keep the
van right now though I am overdue on last month's payment. At the moment,
it's still not looking like I will be able to make it because of the
inability to come up for the money for the van payment and gas money. I
have been applying for IT jobs but unfortunately no answer (and this doesn't surprise me for a variety of reasons). I have a few other irons in the fire
I am working on though including the possibility of getting a second job in
the morning.
