True dat.
Yer waffles aren't half bad, though.

<brag>I make the best pancakes you've ever tasted in your life</brag>
My GF raves about my pasta, too, but she's not as fussy as I am.

I'm *very* fussy about pasta. Nothing worse than over-cooked pasts.
Ptooy.
He's a good cook when he doesn't set the kitchen on fire.

Oh, she's fussy about it being aldente (as am I), just not as fussy as
I am about sauces.

Heh. It's getting on for winter over here, & I made us a very
successful carbonara on whatever those butterfly shaped pieces are
called.

What's your favorite sauce?

It's still winter here. We've got snow again.
I think you're talking about what they call "bowtie" shapes, maybe.

What's your favorite sauce?

Depends on my mood, & whether I'm building it from scratch, or
starting with something halfway decent in a jar (rare, but not
impossible to find). I always start with fresh chopped garlic, browned
in olive oil, but it can go pretty much anywhere from there.
One unusual speciality of mine is a tuna & chilli marinara sauce
that's pretty popular.

Yes, that sounds right.

Dust always collect on the TV screen first?
I know there's some scientific reason behind this phenomenon.
I'm guessing some kind of residual static electricity..
Am I close?

Yes. Hewlett-Packard even used that effect to hold down the chart paper
in their old flatbed analog X-Y pen plotters. The base where you put
the paper was a circuit board with a pair of traces on it, covered with
a white plastic sheet. On the control panel was a switch. Put a piece
of chart paper down on it, and flip the switch and the paper was stuck.

Anybody know what voltage they used?

Gotta have garlic.

Why ???
1) The maid didn't clean it..
2) You don't want to know..It's old CRT tech. Buy a LCD tv and have
more modern questions.
3) If you see the dust, you are watching too close
4) Obsessive compulsive cleanliness is treatable.
5) God is trying to tell you tv is bad and you should read a book on
physics.
6) Dust mites like to watch tv while eating skin flakes.
7) Mr. Electron doesn't want to return to the source
8) The tv has a special air cleaning feature.

But seriously...
Maybe it's a combo of screen charge and convection air flow around the
tv. The electronics get warm which creates rising air above the tv..
This draws dusty air from the floor.

In the instructions for these things:
http://www.homeprodux.com/static_duster.html
they say to swipe it across the TV screen first, to charge it!
(works on monitor screens too. :) )

So, yes, it's static. :)

Cheers!
Rich

I'm *well* aware of the volts that lurk inside there.. oh yea.. *well*
aware.

The static you can collect from the exterior surface of that charged
face can give a jolt.

The charge accumulated on the device itself, however, which can be
accessed by touching the anode wire's node connection under the little
suction cup will enlighten you far more than you are *well* aware of,
I assure you.

Normally, I would say don't try this at home, but in the case of you
and your neimadre asswipe worse half, I would say PLEASE DO. Do so
even with the damned thing turned on. Please..
Just didn't realise they collected dust.

Learn a bit about static electricity and attractors in general then:

What do you do during commercials?

My LCD FPD doesn't generate any noticeable static attraction or
accumulation.

My superm@ssive black hole, however, attracts everything. :-]

I'm sorry. I don't have any electrodes laying around. Not to my knowledge,
anyway.

The inside of the TV's surface is one. It is just separated from
you by the glass. The attraction is still present, however.

aldente is UNDERCOOKED pasta, idiot.

Shows how much /you/ know about pasta, dipshit. I bet you eat
spaghetti out of a can, & spend hours discussing the subtle culinary
distinctions between Heinz vs Cambells.

*Everything* you touch up here gives you a little shock. Even the cat.
It's the dry air.

accessed by touching the anode wire's node connection under the little

Yes. I believe you.
The old tube-type tellys kept a good amount of electricity stored inside
them that could be easily accessed by touching a screw-driver to a
certain spot. Been there, done it, didn't like it.

Normally, I would say don't try this at home, but in the case of you
and your neimadre asswipe worse half, I would say PLEASE DO. Do so
even with the damned thing turned on. Please..

Aww.. don't be angry. We were together long before you came along. Don't
be angry.

I'll have a look after another coffee or two.

I'm sure that pasts taste pretty bad no matter how one cooks them.

Maybe your past tastes pretty bad.. mine, on the other hand, would be
pretty sweet..

aldente is UNDERCOOKED pasta, idiot.


Definition: Al dente refers to the desired texture of cooked pasta in
Italian cooking. It literally means "to the tooth". When the pasta is
cooked al dente, there should be a slight resistance in the center when the
pasta is chewed.

In my opinion, the perfect way to cook pasta.

Wasn't that experiment supposed to use two additional electrodes?

Exactly. Nothing more disgusting than sloppy pasta.
