[17:00:47] SoyGuest1669 is now known as Runaway1956
[17:01:00] * Bytram happens to have a 5-gallon ham stew on the stove atm. failed to plan ahead, so need to pick up some split peas for a hearty soup later.
[17:01:40] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: do you have a favorite split pea soup recipe?
[17:02:12] <AzumaHazuki> i don't really use a recipe. just toss in peas, water, ham hock, salt, and spices into the instant pot and let it pressure cook an hour or so
[17:02:40] <Bytram> no carrots or potatoes or onions?
[17:02:59] <FatPhil> this looked amazing, exactly like the picture perfect photo in the menu.
[17:03:02] <AzumaHazuki> actually most of my cooking doesn't have much of a recipe beyond "this is what you need, do X Y and Z first, dump it, cook for $TIME." I do sometimes add chopped onions to it

[17:10:25] <Bytram> https://www.wikihow.com
[17:10:27] <systemd> ^ 03How to Make Split Pea Soup
[17:13:29] <FatPhil> the best split pea soup is made with ... mixed lentils rather than peas!
[17:13:39] <FatPhil> there, I said it - sue me.
[17:15:12] <AzumaHazuki> that's lentil soup then, no?
[17:15:18] <Bytram> ^^^
[17:15:46] <Bytram> Unless you add soy beans, then it would be... a soylentil? :D
[17:19:01] <Bytram> Hmmm, no split peas, but I do have a large ham bone with plenty of meat on it and two pounds (~1 kg) of navy beans...
[17:23:18] <AzumaHazuki> that sounds even better. i prefer navy beans to split peas
[17:23:32] <AzumaHazuki> and the instant pot can make basically any dry bean ready for use in an hour or less
[17:27:03] <Bytram> beans are okay, but I do not have split pea soup often at all. More of a winter treat for me. Baked beans (28 oz can) are just too simple and inexpensive (~$1.50)
[17:28:46] <Bytram> So, unless I am making a ham stew and have a ham bone around, I have no interest in making a split pea soup. OTOH, when I do have the ham bone... thoughts go straight to split pea soup.
[17:28:55] <AzumaHazuki> huh, that's cheap for canned beans
[17:29:50] <Bytram> maybe $1.89? I don't recall. Less than $2.00 IIRC
[17:30:25] <Bytram> Hmmm, maybe it was $2.89? Not sure.

[21:07:35] <AzumaHazuki> okay, winter nightshift kit is on the way...2 pairs thermal underthings top and bottom. sunset-mimicking programmable alarm (pricey but should last years). tiny electric coffee grinder. already got the blackout drapes
[21:12:34] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: winter is coming, so less daylight, too.
[21:13:15] <AzumaHazuki> for me, *no* daylight. night shift starts soon
[21:14:31] <Bytram> Yes, I understand. But, compared to summer with something like 15 hours of daylight, this time of year is preferable if you are trying to sleep during the day
[21:16:04] <Bytram> Fewer people hanging around on sidewalks and porch steps just shooting-the-breeze, too.

[22:02:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> Runaway1956, we didn't invent beer. no reason we should have a monopoly on doing stupid shit.
[22:03:18] <requerdanos> had you, however, invented beer, you would have been granted said monopoly?
[22:03:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> requerdanos, if we'd invented beer patents would be literally eternal instead of functionally so
[22:04:11] <requerdanos> sadly, you are quite correct
[22:05:16] <Runaway1956> lol
[22:05:58] <Runaway1956> Winter is coming? OMG - how long will it last?
[22:06:04] <requerdanos> a film studio which makes the bulk of its work reissuing public domain and other "retellable" stories, go figure, buys enough lawmakers to make copyright eternal; a similar thing on zymurgy patents wouldn't be all that much of a stretch
[22:06:48] <requerdanos> I heard winter is going to last all the way up to spring this year
[22:07:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> stretch hell, there's too much money to be made on beer. you wouldn't even need to bribe politicians.
[22:07:15] <Runaway1956> Are we sure about that? You never know until you see it!
[22:07:26] <requerdanos> just going by what the schedule says.
[22:07:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> you forgot the groundhog factor
[22:08:20] <requerdanos> I see a groundhog day scheduled for february, but...
[22:08:48] <Runaway1956> we can't know how long groundhog day will last until the hog tells us
[22:09:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> sure we can, i just watched it last night

[22:11:56] <Teckla> American Idol is still a thing? Interesting.
[22:12:04] <requerdanos> Tried to buy Halestorm tickets last march but canceled/covid
[22:12:46] <FatPhil> Perhaps I, as a part-owner of a brewery can chip in. Erm, no dividends for us this year...
[22:15:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'm just hoping it'll lead to some music that doesn't suck ALL OF THE ASS
[22:17:05] <Teckla> Recently I tried listening to the Top 100 (or whatever it was) on Spotify. It was... horrifying isn't a strong enough word.
[22:26:46] <requerdanos> I feel really old whenever I try something like that
[22:31:42] <Teckla> I probably sound like Every Generation Ever that has reached my age, my God, the music seems so *objectively* terrible.
[22:33:28] <Teckla> No interesting rolling melodies; no satisfying transitions; no insightful stories being told. Just an uncomplicated, boring beat and bad rhyming.
