The Everything Drawer - Everyone has one, right? (post anything - within the rules)

Memory flash to a bit of added stress for the Nav team and Conning Officer when driving the ship into Navsta Norfolk.
Upon seeing @Devil Doc ’s challenge, my mind went to the magnet angle, but then quite naturally to the insider degaussing reference. My back-up was, “I take it you don’t work as an MRI tech.” 🙄

3 Keys to Achieving British-Style "Jacket" Potatoes​

  1. Slice them first. Most Americans typically poke holes all over the potatoes before baking them to ensure they don’t explode in the oven. Instead of holes, slice a cross shape about 1/4-inch thick into each potato. This helps them release some steam, makes the interior more fluffy, and also makes them easier to slice into when they’re piping hot.
  2. Bake them for longer than you think. Many recipes recommend baking potatoes for an hour at 425°F. Instead, baking potatoes at 400°F for closer to two hours will get them just right. The potatoes won’t burn at this temperature and the long bake means the skin will be so crisp that it’s practically cracker-like. Don't turn off the oven yet!
  3. Return them to the oven. After the two hours are up, remove the potatoes and carefully cut deeper into the slices you made initially. Then put the potatoes back in the oven for 10 more minutes. This helps to dry out the flesh further and makes it extra fluffy.
Thanks for sharing this! We have a Sunday dinner tradition of loaded baked potatoes and can’t believe I have never heard of these...Definitely on this Sunday’s dinner menu 😋
 
I'm with House on that one. There shouldn't be ANY ferromagnetic material in that bullet. Bullets are typically solid lead with either a copper metal jacket or a copper plated exterior. Copper sheeting is what is tyically used around the entire MRI room for the radio frequency (RF) shield.

Also, if you shot that corpse in the head, his eyes would have bulged out quite a bit. He looked pretty good, for having had that much over-pressure in his bean. Now House was shooting what he referred to as a "half load", but still it was a .357 magnum (probably a 158 grain bullet) out of a 2" barrel, travelling at say, 800 FPS and generating about 300 lb-ft of energy.

But yeah...TV :biggrin:
