    That's a little extravagant. Are you beneficiary of TVA-era
    electricity prices? But you really are putting out a lot of
    BTUs, and one hopes that at least in the wintertime that makes
    life a little more palatable.
    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.

    Pretty much every well-meaning idea gets screwed up
    at some point.

    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

    You're sounding like Swisher and Ian talking about cores
    and processing power and temperatures generated and oh,
    I have a two terabyte drive in my shirt pocket.

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

    And your environment thanks you.

    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.

    Thanks. Which reminds me that bras are defined as
    tanks for the mammaries.

    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.
    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.

    When a kid is well taught, s/he won't screw up in that
    department until adulthood.

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

    Then they're rushing you. Remember not to hurt yourself
    too badly until it's time for workmen's comp.

    To err is human.
    To really screw things up requires a computer.

    You're sounding like Swisher and Ian talking about cores
    and processing power and temperatures generated and oh,
    I have a two terabyte drive in my shirt pocket.

    These days, they may actually have a 2TB drive in their pocket now that
    there's 16TB drives hitting the market.

    And your environment thanks you.

    The BBS doesn't need much power. If I was able to run ArcaOS on it, I'd put the BBS on a Raspberry Pi.

    Thanks. Which reminds me that bras are defined as

    Bob Hope (and Benny Hill) would be proud.

    Then they're rushing you. Remember not to hurt yourself
    too badly until it's time for workmen's comp.

    After the workman's comp claim earlier this year, I'd rather not milk that again. However, since I am now mainly working the lobby and cash register,
    my overly sensitive fingertips can sigh a collective breath of relief.

    Not so impossibly easy as my general breakfast which
    is no breakfast.

    Title: Sausage, Cheese, and Egg Casserole

    I'd definitely eat that for breakfast. However, I'd make it the night
    before and let it sit in the fridge to get all of the flavors to get
    together and reheat a piece in the microwave for a few seconds.

    Title: Polly's Johnnycakes
    Categories: Breakfast, Breads
    Yield: 12 Servings

    1 pk Corn muffin mix, Jiffy brand
    3/4 c Milk
    2 tb Butter or shortening, melted
    1 Egg

    Mix corn muffin mix according to directions on package EXCEPT leave
    out some of the liquid so batter is thicker than normal. Batter
    should be a little thinner than pancake batter. Heat griddle and fry
    johnny cakes like a pancake, turning only once.

    MMMMM

    These days, they may actually have a 2TB drive in their pocket now
    that there's 16TB drives hitting the market.

    It is a 2TB, and I have a 5TB (plus a 3 and a 4). The 2 and 5 take power directly from the USB port, which is why I got them. They plug into the USB port on TV's and the avi files are available. The 3 and 4 have a plug-in power
    supply. The 5 is in a little fireproof box about 100' from my condo. The desktop box, this one, is an AMD2950 16-core (32 thread), 32GB memory, a 2TB system drive and 2X8TB mirrored data drives, openSUSE Leap 15.1

    Title: Baked Corn Bread ... Ogahagq'wa` Wata'`gqda'`gwa'
    Categories: Native
    Yield: 1 servings

    No Ingredients Found

    The name signifies "under the ashes cooked," and is applied to bread
    baked in the embers, or on flat stones placed over the fire. As
    reported in Samuel de Champlain's, "Voyages of Samuel de Champlain"
    Prince Society ed., (Boston 1878-1882), this seems to have been
    formerly in much favour. Its disuse is probably owing to the
    abandonment of the open fireplace and to the general adoption of
    European foods.

    The mixture used was practically the same as for boiled bread. About
    three-quarters of an hour was required for cooking. As the loaves
    baked somewhat more quickly on top, they were turned over to be
    evenly done. To tell when they were finished, the cakes were tapped
    with the finger. If not sufficiently cooked, they felt heavy to the
    touch and, when done, felt lighter and more spongy. The last part of
    the operation was to wash them in cold water to free them from ashes
    or cinders, as was reported by Peter John (Onondaga) and his wife
    (Mohawk). The Senecas are said to have omitted the beans or berries.
    On the other hand, several informants at Grand River, Ontario, state
    specifically that beans, berries, and sometimes maple sugar were
    included in the baked corn bread mixture. James Adair, in "History
    of the American Indians" (London, 1775), remarks about the use of a
    similar food among the Choctaw and Chickasaw.
    Mrs. John Williams (Mohawk) of Caughnawaga states that red beans used
    to be mixed with the paste for baked corn bread, and the whole
    covered with cabbage leaves or corn husks. Boiled bread is the only
    kind made there now.
    Peter John (Onondaga), Grand River, Ontario, relates that some fifty
    or sixty years ago a fire was frequently made in the open field,
    while they were harvesting or husking corn, and bread baked in the
    ashes in the old-fashioned manner.
    A single cake of this bread was said, by John Echo (Onondaga), to have
    formerly been placed in the coffin with a corpse.
    According to Peter Atkins (Mohawk) and others of Grand River, Ontario,
    besides the food which is set aside for the dead at wakes and which
    they are supposed to require for their own consumption, a little is
    sometimes put into the hand. This is to be thrown to a savage cat
    and dog which guard a bridge over which the dead have to pass. While
    the animals are devouring the food the dead person slips over in
    safety. Source: "Iroquois Foods and Food Preparation, Memoir 86, No.

    Printing Bureau, 1916) pp. 82-83
