  • I used to work with a guy from Kentucky and he used to say “there’s nothing worse than an Illinois Yankee.” (I should emphasize I have nothing against Illinois, I just thought it was funny and an interesting counterpoint to your comment. BTW: am a Yankee.)

    Also, I work with a guy from rural Pennsylvania, and he sometimes describes it as Pennsyltucky.



  • I don’t really understand people getting out an unnecessary utensil to crack the egg. Put the pot you cooked it in in the sink and run cod water on it. Then just knock it against the inside of the pot to crack it. If you like the roll technique, roll it against the pan. Do this in the water; some believe cracking it underwater helps the shell release, tho honestly I’m not sure about that part.











  • I use POPFile, open source software that classifies email into whatever categories you set up using a Bayesian algorithm (so you train it). It works as a proxy so it does it when your download email, so not a solution to your inbox filling up unless your can figure out how to run it on the server automatically.

    It tags the email with a header and I use Thunderbird filters to move mail to folders for spam, adverts, political spam, and regular inbox.

    It’s abandonware but it still works and doesn’t really need any more features IMO.
