I have had the privelige of not working in any filthy kitchens. Well, besides a few occasions in my own house, anyway. But I've heard the tales. And seen people ask "how did this place ever pass inspection?"

It's got me thinking of my first job, when I was part of the opening crew for a new restaurant. We started after all of the hardware deliveries, and we scrubbed everything in that place. The people who trained all the newbies hammered cleanliness into our heads (which I'm grateful for to this day.) We worked hard to keep everthing as clean as we could.

Nothing is perfect though. Little things pile up. Something from the weekly checklist gets skipped. Something from the monthly checklist gets forgotten. That dipshit Jeremy drops something behind the floor mixer and doesn't tell anyone, and when it goes bad it takes a week for someone to figure out where it is.

Anyway. I was there for the first working health inspection, and nothing really made sense. There were little things that I knew were wrong, we all knew were wrong, the inspector could easily tell were wrong, that he looked at and ignored. And then bizarre things, like telling us to clean the walls because they were dirty, and writing up a warning for it.

But there were no dirty walls. While a lot of the equipment was new, the place had been a cafe before and the walkin was already there. When they caulked the walkin, they used silver caulk matching the walkin instead of white caulk matching the wall panel. He was dinging us for the caulking being the wrong color? He wants us to what, paint the caulk? Bleach it white? Tear it out and redo it?

I turned this over in my head, thinking about how he wrote up stuff that made no sense. This was in a small town in a county with not many people in it. This guy had inspected this kitchen before. And he wasn't an idiot, he knew what caulk is.

But also, this is a small town in a county with not many people in it. This guy may have been a career government employee, but he wasn't rolling in cash. And it hit me. Every time he conspicuously looked at a real issue and turned his head, he was sending a message. Every time he wrote up something fake, he was sending another message. And even though it looked like his hands were holding his clipboard and pen, there were actually held out.

So I wonder, how common is that?

The movie starts with a young woman in a Lamaze class. When she exits the class, a man in a hoody attacks her with a cinder block, knocks her down, and beats her belly with the cinder block.

Later on, it's revealed that the man in the hoody is a woman with short hair, likely a lesbian, it's implied that she is the woman's girlfriend. And the woman asked her to attack her and kill the baby, and she only got pregnant so that this could happen.

At the end of the movie, she breaks into a house, fills the tub, and takes a bath. After a few minutes, the homeowner breaks into the bathroom and annihilates her with a shotgun. Slow motion, really good blood effects.

I saw a bit a few years ago where a comic was talking about getting in to BDSM. The bit went something like:

something something girlfriend, something something kinky, something something sex dungeon, and he ends up talking to a sadist. He tells the guy something like "I'm a bottom and I have no limits," and the sadist says "I want to do X and Y and Z things to you, and stick six inch needles through your testicles." And then the comic says "and that's when I learned I had limits."

The comedian was male, mid to late 30s I'd guess, dark hair, scruff/short beard, may have had long hair.

If anyone knows who it was by or has a link to the clip I'd appreciate it.

I've searched for relevant keywords on Google and Bing already.

There seem to be different opinions. Several results talked about "fixtures," I'm not sure if they meant plumbing, electrical, or other. But I'm not thining of parts with anything flowing through them. Call it "passive" mechanical work; think brackets and fasteners.

Some of the information indicates that corrosion can occur if there is an electrolyte between them, so assuming the brass base was degreased and dessicated before treatment, there should be no issue, right?

Edit: I should add that the ultimate goal is to end with an anodized color layer, preferably on a brass base object.

I went to a chinese place and they had "strawberry chicken." Now, I've had some unusual stuff with unexpected fresh fruit added that was really good, and that's what I expected. However, there was no description in the menu.

What I got was a butterflied, breaded, deep fried chicken breast with strawberry compote on it. Which, you know, tasted fine. It just wasn't anything I thought I'd get.

It mostly delete old things, but there is a bit of randomness. It mostly effects photos. Sometimes it deletes entire folders, sometimes it deletes the contents of a folder but leaves the folder in place. I've lost a number of files that can't be recovered.

Edit: I think some text messages have disappeared as well, but that's harder to keep track of.

It's somewhat easy to look at video or audio interviews and know what's working or what's not. Paul Rudd gives great interviews, Dave Mustaine tends to give awful ones.

But it's not as easy to assess how to be engaging in a way that both an interviewer and a reader can get something out of for print media. What are some ideas and best practices to be a good print interview subject?
