How to Make a Category 5 /5e Patch Cable


As the unscientific wife of a scientist, who for years has tagged along on archaeological expeditions, I have witnessed many seemingly unexplainable discoveries, but none has provided a greater challenge or teased my imagination more acutely than the unbelievable stone balls found in Central America. The riddles they pose would threaten the deductive powers of a Sherlock Holmes.


I submit to you that perhaps Rez is the ultimate example of difficulty tuning. First and most strking, it is fun to play for its own sake, apart from any objectives. That is a rare and wonderful property that very few games can live up to. Next, it allows a very wide range of players to experience that beauty and fun. It also gives a high challenge level to those who seek out challenge, and even then it throws you a bone if you're struggling. Perhaps this is the winning formula we should all be striving for.

| Pickled chili peppers | ||
Ingredients: | ||
| Brine: 2 lbs. (1 gallon) fresh, ripe, chili peppers | Marinade: 1 cup water | Herb Oil Garnish: 4 dried bay leaves |
| Method: 1. Wash the peppers, trim the stems to a stub and prick each pepper twice with a fork on opposite sides. 2. Bring the water to a boil, immediately remove it from the heat, and dissolve the salt in it to make a brine. Let it cool. 3. Combine the washed peppers and the cooled brine in a glass, plastic, stainless steel, or other non reactive container. Place a china plate on top of the peppers to hold them down in the brine. Use two if necessary. Soak the peppers in the brine for a minimum of 12 hours. 4. Combine all the marinade ingredients in a heavy bottom stainless steel sauce pan. Bring this mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes 5. Wash and sterilize 8 to 12 pint-size canning jars and lids. In each sanitized, hot jar place ¼ of a dried bay leaf, one garlic clove, several carrot slices, ½ of a shallot and 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then pack the peppers into the jars. Pour marinading liquid into each jar leaving at least ½-inch of head space from the top of the liquid to the rim. 6. Use a boiling water bath method to seal the jars and process the peppers for five minutes. Store the jars in a cool, dark place for three to four weeks before using. Refrigerate unused portions after you’ve opened a jar. | ||

This could be good to use as placeholder stuff. I haven’t personally
looked at it though.
