Please Let the Simpsons Die: An Open Letter to Matt Groening

My mom gave me a Simpson's T shirt when the show had just come out. Everyone was wearing Bart Simpson shirts at the time and I am somewhat anti "wear what everyone else is wearing" so I put it in my closet on a hange and said I won't wear this shirt until the show ends. It has been hanging there since like 1990, never worn. I am ready to wear that shirt already. I am good with this.

Any other Windows or Mac users here?

Let's talk about my recent exercise in mapping persistent network drives: Windows: Right click in file explorer, select map drive, enter server path, user name password. Check the Reconnect at login checkbox. Click OK.

Linux: Add user to soduers file, sudo make a directory in /mnt, chown of directory to user, sudo install smbclient, create a cedentials file with server user and password, modify fstab file and add mount command to that and refererwnce credential file, well network stack doesent load until after it tries to map the drives on boot so then I added a 60 second wait to wait for the network to come online.

Yes, things are better now when it comes to installing and hardware compatibility, but for the average person the steps I took to map a network drive is not feasible to pull off. Most people just want things to work without going through multiple steps of trial and error

Do you know any songs about trains?

One of my favorite artists, Tim Barry, does (or maybe did) some train hopping so some of his songs are about his experience riding in boxcars and that's reflected in his album art. A few of his that come to mind are: Driver Pull Chirch of Level Track Steel Road

But for an actual song about a train, I didn't see "Wabash Cannonball" yet. You can make a playlist from different Artists renditions of this song. Roy Acuff's take on it is the one that I associate with the song but the Limeliters is probably my favorite.

[QUESTION] What is your easiest method to cook eggs?

Reply in thread

Oh, I thought that is what you meant, cook them in the shell in a sheetpan. I hard "boil" eggs in oven, much easier IMO and less mess than boiling in water and it comes out the same. With my oven i set the temp to 325 and put eggs right in (i.e. no pre-heat) then cook 20 minutes and pull them out. At this point they are under cooked but I let them sit for another 10 minutes at least at room temp until cool enough to touch. I like this better than the rapid cool method with cold water to stop the cooking. Comes out perfect for my taste. I think the downside to this method is it doesn't peel as easy maybe and I usually lose a bit of egg in the peeling process. So you crack the eggs on a sheet pan then cook on stove top?
