That's rich from some who's been damaging rechargeable batteries when he
follows the instructions.

Don and I worked out a sort of pattern before we even married (we lived
together for a year to make sure we matched). It was based on an old
roomate trick.

Make a list on one side of a piece of paper of everything you really
hate to have to do. Now draw a line amd make a list of what you do not
mind so much.

Don truely hates cleaning bathrooms so any major cleaning that is mine.
I really hate laundry so he takes care of that.

He hates grocery shopping so I took care of it for ages but now with
health issues and me needing help, he kinda likes it as he has more say
in what we get.

I don't mind cleaning cat pans or refilling fish tanks (and cleaning
said tanks) so I do most of that. Either one of us will dump the trash
and refill the liners but he cuts the grass.

I do all the finances including taxes. I also arrange all major
perchases (showing him the item such as replacement washing machine
etc.)

It works for us.

THat works. I tried the defrost setting and it's lame in the extreme
for meats and flavor as opposed to just doing it right in the fridge.

I wonder how Popeye served up fresh (never frozen) steaks when he
was a navy cook? No way he would serve his crew inferior frozen
rubbish.

Did the navy have cattle ships following all the tin cans around to
supply freshly slaughtered beef?

Oh, Hi Pamela. I prefer to always err on the side of of caution.

Thus, any instructions for any type of battery that start with:

"Put on charge for 15 hours" should be amended to:

"Put on charge for 15 minutes. Check cells for leakage or if they appear
warm to the touch before leaving them unattended for any greater length
of time."


BTW, do you have any idea how much time has elapsed since the last time I
gave you advice on this subject? You shouldn't let things like that burn
in your craw for so long.

Pamela's hard to talk to because he takes 4 weeks breaks between

I was specifically wondering why you feel the following advice is
"destructive and dangerous". You didn't answer the first time I asked.

Your sugegstion fails to equalise new cells in a battery nor does it
charge them fully as the article I quote advises.

http://al.howardknight.net/?ID=159276379900

================== START ================= Only the initial charge needs
be very long. After that just charge and discharge normally. This site
is authoritative:

"Battery manufacturers recommend that new batteries be slow-charged for
16?24 hours before use. A slow charge brings all cells in a battery
pack to an equal charge level. This is important because each cell
within the nickel-cadmium battery may have self-discharged at its own
rate. Furthermore, during long storage the electrolyte tends to
gravitate to the bottom of the cell and the initial slow charge helps
in the redistribution to eliminate dry spots on the separator.

Battery manufacturers do not fully format nickel- and lead-based
batteries before shipment. The cells reach optimal performance after
priming that involves several charge/discharge cycles. This is part of
normal use; it can also be done with a battery analyzer. Quality cells
are known to perform to full specifications after only 5?7 cycles;
others may take 50?100 cycles.

batteries ================== END =================

Bruce it may surprise you but not everyone spends anything like as much
time here as you do.

Sometimes I wonder why your life appears so empty that it's a highlight
for you to spot new messages here and reply within a matter of minutes.

Take a break. Go and do something else. Don't post for a few days. Break
your addiction. Try it.

OMG, no. I'm not sure what you're saying UGG to but never use the
microwave defrost setting to thaw a steak or any sort of frozen meat
unless you want it to be partially cooked before it's thawed through in
the middle.

Thaw well wrapped meat in a bowl of cold water if you're in a hurry.

If you have a sous vide cooker, you can immerse the frozen steak into the water bath and set it at 125 to 130 degrees and let it go for 3 hours or more. Then you take it out and sear it because it's already cooked.

I cooked this steak in the sous vide and then blasted the shit out of it in a carbon steel pan. Of course, it came out perfectly medium rare. It wasn't frozen though. One day, I'll have to try it. My guess is that I could pre-season steaks, bag them, and freeze them. You could then have steaks from the freezer to perfectly done in 3 three hours. That would be awesome.

Unless it's changed, I think the marine corps actually falls under
the department of the navy. They are actually a part of the navy.

Popeye also says all navy officers are homosexual, but unclear if
that extends to marines too. I guess the enlisted men are not
(unless they are Filipinos, who are only recruited for officers to
have sex with).

Heh, yoose can learn a hell of a lot from Popeye.

That doesn't surprise me, since I just said that you take 4 weeks
breaks between appearances.

Calm down. I'm not saying you have to post or read more. Just that I
often don't get a reply when talking to you because you've again
disappeared for weeks. There's nothing wrong with that, but it makes
you a bit irrelevant to talk to.

I'm so sorry to keep my audience waiting.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
