@dkf said in The Official Status Thread: @BernieTheBernie said in The Official Status Thread: @topspin said in The Official Status Thread: Had to touch FORTRAN, twice. Ten years ago, I had a job interview at some company programming their information system for medical laboratories in Fortran. Fortranately, I did not get the job (not because of my lack of Fortran experience). Yeah, they'd have been better using MUMPS. MUMPS was used by a former employer which built a hospital information system (but I worked on the GUI part with VB6, so I did not need to write MUMPS code, but I could read and understand it). Btw, that product does not exist anymore. It was discontinued - for business reasons, not technical reasons.

@Polygeekery said in The Cooking Thread: Bloody Mary pizza The recipe for this is from a book called "Revolutionary Pizza", which I think was written by a guy who owned a famous pizza place in Chicago. The sauce is made with: 32oz bottle of tomato juice 12oz can of tomato paste 1tbsp of celery salt 1/4 cup of Worcestershire sauce 1/4 cup of hot sauce Put it all in a blender until well mixed. This makes way more sauce than needed. In the cookbook it recommends drinking the rest as a Bloody Mary drink but it is way too thick for that, but not half bad if you cut it 50/50 with Spicy Hot V8 and add a heavy splash of steak sauce and a little splash of the olive brine. The pizza itself is that sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, sliced celery, sliced olives (buy good whole olives and slice them yourself). I even like the name they gave the pizza, "The Cure". Side note: I knew a bartender who made the absolute best Bloody Marys. Her secret was the steak sauce and olive brine. Part of being hungover is your body is all out of whack on blood sugar and electrolytes. The tomato juice in a Bloody Mary helps with the sugar, the addition of the olive brine helps with the salt part of it, and it adds a nice umami flavor in the background. Since knowing her I have always ordered Bloody Marys "dirty". It always gets a peculiar look but I once had a bartender exclaim that it was a genius idea that he couldn't believe he had never thought of before and he made a second one for himself and loved it.

@da-Doctah said in Random thought of the day: Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse have the same last name. While it's certainly possible for this to be the case even without them actually being related, you'd expect them to have a quick explanation worked out to offer anyone who assumes them to be engaging in an incestuous relationship. It’s been canonical since 1933 that they’re married (and the implication is that they were married before this point) though apparently divorce is on the table. That said, the core Disneyverse does have two unrelated Mouse families, with also two unrelated Duck families (plus the McDuck clan), and the Goof family at one point originally being the Dawg family. It looks like they went full on for “last name is species” so not technically a drama.

I'm dual-booting Windows 10 / 11 but I find myself going to Windows 11 less and less. It has very little to offer and just isn't worth the aggravation. I didn't like Windows 10 when it first came out but Microsoft made some improvements and eventually it became (sort of) usable. I was hoping that the same would happen with Win11, but Microsoft is going in the opposite direction, especially with this ads-in-the-Start-Menu bullshit.
