@FaheemMitha could be that, or memory, or a misbehaving X client...

@casey yeah could've been the browser

I've never had issues w/ that site

@casey btw, unfortunately I was wrong about that auctex bug. I am still seeing in with a blank .emacs.

@FaheemMitha odd

Like a moron, I was testing with that hyperref line commented out.

:)

In my defense, I haven't had a lot of sleep lately.

@casey Indeed.

@derobert a frying pan to make chocolate? fried chocolate? that sounds terrible

@slm I think I don't have an account in bandcamp

I normally just get some of the Gnomeslice recommendation that he posts on "the tavern" and "the bridge"

@Braiam - did you have any other music to recommend?

I'm not a big Stack Exchange user (ignore my rep, almost all of it is from codegolf.SE which is very different from the rest of the network). Can someone please go over the question I just posted here to make sure I didn't do something terribly wrong?

@undergroundmonorail don't see anything terribly wrong with the question

Thanks :)

@derobert IKR, a frying pan is rarely any good at frying.

@undergroundmonorail Looks like a good question to me :)

@Seth Thanks :) I know SE tends to have a high standard of quality so I'm pretty much always afraid I'm not meeting it :P

@Seth Yep. You might pan fry in it, or maybe shallow fry. I guess that's where the name come from. You surely wouldn't deep fry in it.

@undergroundmonorail The fact that you're aware SE has a standard of quality probably means you're in the top quartile...

@slm, unix.stackexchange.com/questions/137904/…

we were discussing this one in the morning apparently :)

fail2ban and denyhosts methods.

believe it or not, @Seth @derobert, the frying pan (or sartén as it's called in spanish) is normally and mostly exclusively used to fry things

@Braiam Do you mean pan-fry (as in, a tablespoon or so of oil in the pan), or shallow fry (maybe 1cm or so oil depth), or deep fry? I hope no one is deep frying in a frying pan!

@Braiam Mostly exclusively

@undergroundmonorail uh hu O_O

@derobert do you need to deep fry potatoes to get french fries?

nope.

@Braiam Well, I don't know if you need to, but that's the typical method

but I think most people do that

(I usually pan fry them, or better yet, bake them)

tell me something that you can't imagine if it's not deep fried @derobert, and I will tell you if we do deep fry with a frying pan

@Braiam hmmm... how about a yeast doughnut?

or, if I wanted to be crazy, a full turkey :-P

@Braiam or a pretzel?

@derobert I know someone who did that....

I'm not sure if I am glad I wasn't there or not.

@Seth I'd like to see someone fry a turkey in a frying pan!

haha

Well, and by see I mean 'from a safe distance, like on YouTube'

naw, this guy used a full blown frying machine thing, irrc.

@derobert hah ;P

Frying a turkey in a turkey fryer is reasonably safe, if done right. Of course, a lot of ways to do it wrong...

foodrepublic.com/2013/01/10/deep-fried-coke-recipe

@derobert not turkeys but chicken

@Seth You're frying pretzels? Normally those are baked.

Has anyone tried that before?

@Braiam - the gnomeslice thing, what is that?

Well, normally you don't fry a whole turkey either.

@Braiam Well, pan fried and shallow fried chicken parts (say, just a breast, or thigh, not the full chicken) are normal enough...

@derobert Seems like you're talking in the wrong chat room? Either the sex or food site would seem more apropo 8-)

@Patrick Nah, frying a whole turkey (well, minus the head, feathers, guts, etc.) is a standard Thanksgiving preparation.

@slm Yep. We've gone off topic again. But do you know how many times we've done Linux troubleshooting in the cooking chat room? The rule of cooking chat, is not to talk about cooking when avoidable :-P

@slm Gnomeslice is an user of SE chat.meta.stackexchange.com/…

we only have 4 20k users?

@derobert now that you bring that up, you're right, we don't exactly fry them, just boil them in a solution (no oil). So I guess that doesn't exactly count.

@Seth Yeah. Frying is in oil.

That's actually what's special about frying, it's a dry heat method (like roasting, baking, etc.) that delivers energy faster than most wet-heat methods (simmering, braising, boiling, etc.)

Dry heat methods give browning & crispyness, wet heat ones typically do not.

@derobert wow, you sound like an expert.

@Braiam I count 10
