Do any of you have suggestions or thoughts on blow torches for an amateur to use in a home kitchen? Water2Table sometimes has sashimi-grade halibut, which I LOVE seared (but not fully raw), so I feel like it might be time to look into blow torches. Also, I would prefer not to make my kitchen explode or set it on fire.
The type used for soldering copper pipes would work, any hardware store would have it, get a wide tip, and the higher heat fuel + plus a sparker to start it.
Olivia de Havilland played across from Errol Flynn in the 1935 classic Captain Blood when they were unknown actors. They were again together in 1938 film The Adventures of Robin Hood. de Haviland was later in Gone with the Wind in 1939. She's been nominated for 5 Academy awards, won a Golden Globe and a Daytime Emmy. Guess what? She is still alive and turned 104 today.

I am at the point where I’m avoiding Florida because it’s my schtick now. You’d be surprised how perplexed people in the Acela corridor are that I’ve never been.
Avoiding Florida altogether is an incredibly sharp approach...Newellbany and I crossed Marlins Park and the Trop off our ballpark list with a trip in '14, and I don't plan on making another extended visit. I am sneaking through the NW tip for lunch in Pensacola on the C2C, though, just to cross it off the pup's state bucket list.
No worries...pretty much looks the same as it did in the 1980's;-)...

Big dipshit threatens veto if renaming bases named after Confederates is not removed from bill. Mr. Contrarian Without a Cause is likely to take the L now or later when his veto is overrriden.
Nice!! SGB, planning for the 2020 Coast to COVID (C2C) Road Trip is in full swing, with Richmond, VA, Charleston, SC and a drive up thru Natchez to Vicksburg on the itinerary...
Every four years or so, I teach in the summer at Hollins in Roanoke. I get a lot of time traveling through the Blue Ridge mountains and the Shenandoah. My great great great grandfather, Anthony Jones, was in the US Colored Ninth Cav during the Civil War. I imagine myself having been transferred to Sheridan's army and burning everything in site. That would have been fun.
"The GOP primary in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District was more of a surprise, however, with President Trump’s backed candidate Rep. Scott Tipton losing to restauranteur Lauren Boebert by about 9 points, 54.6 percent to 45.4 percent. Tipton is now the fourth House incumbent to lose renomination this year,1 and his defeat could make this Republican-leaning seat — Trump won it by 12 points in 2016, according to Daily Kos Elections — highly competitive in November. Boebert ran to the right of Tipton, drawing on her background as a gun-rights activist (she runs a restaurant where servers are allowed to openly carry firearms). But she’s raised very little money so far, and has attracted controversy for her views on QAnon, a far-right movement labeled a domestic terrorist threat by the FBI last year that promotes false conspiracy theories. So Boebert may struggle to turn her upset primary victory into real traction in the general election. Democrats have nominated former state Rep. Diane Mitsch Bush, hoping she can win after losing to Tipton by 8 points in 2018."
Sounds better than the way SGBear reported the results yesterday.
Rep. Scott Tipton (R - CO-3], a 5 term incumbent, lost to farther-right newcomer Lauren Boebert. She'll take on Diane Mitsch Bush in November. CO-3 is rural and very red. Looks like the House will gain another QAnon follower.
Boebert is a rabid 2A-right advocate. She literally own a restaurant called "Shooters Grill" located in Rifle, CO. The theme is guns and all staff are encourage to open carry.
jeezus, he keeps these things alive in the news cycle for no reason. If he drops it, and lets the house have an investigation, it gets so boring that people tune out and the maga's don't care about the troops anyway....I simply don't get it.
This is a spectacular faceplant in light of the fact that the UA contract was agreed to around the same time that Cuonzo Martin finally signed his contract after ~2 years of operating on a term sheet.
I interviewed for a Sourcing position at Cal back in 2011 if I remember right.

this is mind boggling incompetence if true. While it is likely still legally binding due to both parties "acting" as if the contract was executed, it opens a gaping loophole that Under Armour may be able to exploit. Regardless (and not that surprising I suppose), this is a very bad look for Cal.

my coworker uses something similar to this for the kitchen. A kitchen butane torch for things like quick searing after sous vide.

That's probably better, my idea would work, but be overkill.
the halibut would be well done in about 5 seconds.
Both can be used in non-culinary settings as well... for those times when you really need something answered.
Thanks

I somehow doubt I will get there before it disappears beneath the seas
Honestly, it's fine but you're not missing that much.

I've been to the airport in Miami. Does that count?
Avoiding Florida altogether is an incredibly sharp approach...Newellbany and I crossed Marlins Park and the Trop off our ballpark list with a trip in '14, and I don't plan on making another extended visit. I am sneaking through the NW tip for lunch in Pensacola on the C2C, though, just to cross it off the pup's state bucket list.
That seems pretty reasonable
Check out the film Scarface & you’ll get the gist.
I’ve seen it - now I feel truly off the hook. Thanks!

So what's the full itinerary? NOLA -> Oak Alley Plantation --> Baton Rouge --> Natchez --> Vicksburg --> Memphis --> Nashville --> Shiloh/Chattanooga --> ATL --> Charleston --> Camden --> Bentonville/Raleigh --> Richmond ?
Looking like...Antietam - Harper's Ferry - Bull Run - Spotsylvania/Wilderness - Chancellorsville - Richmond - Bentonville/Raleigh - Charleston/Sumter - Andersonville - Baton Rouge - Vicksburg...

This is a spectacular faceplant in light of the fact that the UA contract was agreed to around the same time that Cuonzo Martin finally signed his contract after ~2 years of operating on a term sheet.
I interviewed for a Sourcing position at Cal back in 2011 if I remember right. Didnt get the job because of what looked like internal politics but I remember being shocked at how inefficient and wasteful the University's spending was. I figured it was dicey but the real scope of it, just from the little I saw, blew my mind. In the end, dodged a bullet I think, being at EA has been much more successful and lucrative.
this is mind boggling incompetence if true. While it is likely still legally binding due to both parties "acting" as if the contract was executed, it opens a gaping loophole that Under Armour may be able to exploit. Regardless (and not that surprising I suppose), this is a very bad look for Cal.
Well, it was Mike Williams, so ineptitude and incompetency come as no surprise.
