I kept some of the bean water and I am debating seeing if I can turn it into meringue like you can with garbanzo bean water. How weird would that be?
Aquafaba. Vegans can be so creative I had no idea this was a thing.
Mediocre gravy is still gravy. Way I see it, there's only two real ways to mess up gravy: flour and heat. Clumped, burned, or undercooked in the roux. Afterwards, the world is your oyster. Worcestershire, rich drippings, or try hardcore po'dunk mode with diced chicken gizzard.
I am done with The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder by David Grann. My main advice for those who find themselves shipwrecked while in the 18thc. Royal Navy:
Do not sink off of Western Patagonia. It's cold, rocky, the weather sucks, and you'll be praying for random birds to kill in order to stay alive. Shackleton and his crew shipwrecked in Antarctica, admittedly with smaller crew and more modern supplies, but they basically could live indefinitely off of seals while floating on big blocks of ice. Sail South, crash there. What are you doing? Immediately salvage anything useful on the ship as soon as possible. Salvage the ship. Take every board and every canvas. Do not scare or aggravate any natives who show up no matter how savage they appear. Do keep meticulous logs of your voyage and any subsequent shipwreck no matter rank or position. This will help legitimize unforeseen but necessary actions in the future up to and including marooning your former captain. Do not surrender yourself to the Spanish if you are free black man. They will enslave you.
Also, I find it very odd how many smart people I know don’t reread good books or rewatch good films or tv shows.
There are lots of books I want to reread because it has been long enough to justify it and there are all the books I haven't read yet. I try to balance it.
Unsure of the provenance but here's an angle that shows control of the kitchen knife at the time of or right after the taser. The officer who had partial control of the suspect's hand with the knife is the one who shoots him. Plausibly, the taser rips zapzapzap, and officer loses his hold on the knife as suspect falls. Only one officer has hands on the suspect as he hits the ground and previous knife restrainer now-shooter cop draws and fires in, seemingly, one motion. Could be he couldn't go back in on the knife hand safely at that point-- the remaining officer on the camera side looks like he's about to try as shots are fired in your video. Could be he had the best intention to prepare for escalation to lethal force since he lost control of the weapon and it just so happened that knife looked stabbier as he decided to draw. Could be he was frustrated, tired, and made a bad decision.
