[15:46] <rick_h__> jcastro: you all cook timetimes right?
[15:46] <rick_h__> jcastro: I've got a free blueapron invite and wanted to see if you're intersted
[15:46] <rick_h__> jrwren: same ^
[15:51] <jrwren> cook timetimes?
[15:51] <jrwren> rick_h__: thanks for offer. My wife is all groceries and from scratch and stuff, so I am out.
[15:52] <rick_h__> jrwren: yea, that's what we like. It's fresh stuff from scratch but always a surprise
[15:52] <jcastro> rick_h__: I've read both your sentences twice and still can't parse wtf you're talking about lol
[15:52] <rick_h__> jcastro: lol would you like a free meal from https://www.blueapron.com/
[15:52] <jcastro> but blueparon looks incredible
[15:52] <rick_h__> jcastro: to try it out
[15:53] <jcastro> I've seen services like this
[15:53]  * rick_h__ has invites
[15:53] <jcastro> I think that if we stopped wasting so much money eating out and being lazy
[15:53] <jcastro> this would work for us and save us money
[15:53] <jcastro> YES, invite me.
[15:53] <rick_h__> yea, that's our thing. It's cheaper than us eating out twice a week and better food/for us
[15:54] <rick_h__> been doing it for 6mo or so and my wife just loves it, but it involved manual cooking
[15:54] <rick_h__> so not everyone's cup of tea
[15:54] <jcastro> I don't mind cooking
[15:54] <jcastro> it's the prep and shopping and stuff that sucks
[15:55] <jcastro> "cook this all prepped for you like they do on TV" is the fun part
[15:55] <jcastro> I can see why this service is valuable
[15:55] <rick_h__> lol, well you still have to chop and dice and such
[15:55] <rick_h__> but what's awesome is they ship you the amount you need for the recipe
[15:55] <jcastro> well yeah
[15:55] <jcastro> but it's the right amount
[15:55] <rick_h__> so I don't have to buy 10lb of kale for one meal
[15:55] <jcastro> it seems better than "we better buy a huge box of XXX at costco in case we need it"
[15:55] <jcastro> right
[15:55] <rick_h__> yea
[15:55] <rick_h__> invite sent
[15:57] <rick_h__> anyone else wants a blueapron meal let me know
[15:58] <jcastro> I might need you to send one to my neighbor, I'll let you know, how many do you have?
[15:58] <rick_h__> 3 more after yours
[15:58] <rick_h__> and then I get a new one every few months or whatever
[16:01] <jcastro> ok I'll probably just sign up
[16:01] <jcastro> how is the food?
[16:03] <rick_h__> so I find we like 3 out of 4 meals pretty well
[16:03] <rick_h__> what's nice is that it's not stuff we'd normally do which is nice after making the same 10 things time after time
[16:07] <jrwren> lactose intollerant vegetarian wife makes these things practically impossible for us :[
[16:07] <jrwren> i'm a tiny bit envious.
[16:16] <greg-g> we were doing something similar out here for a few months, stopped because.. I forget why exactly, but it was nice
[16:16] <greg-g> oh, because it plus our CSA was too much food
[16:16] <rick_h__> greg-g: ah, cool
[16:39] <cmaloney> I'll note that rick_h__ didn't ask me. :)
[16:40] <rick_h__> cmaloney: :P I offered everyone
[16:40] <cmaloney> heh
[16:40] <jrwren> he knows you only eat pizza like a good coder/sysadmin?
[16:40] <rick_h__> but I also don't recall cmaloney going "I <3 cooking all the time"
[16:41] <cmaloney> That's because JoDee is amazed I can boil water without burning the house down
[16:41] <rick_h__> lol
[16:42] <cmaloney> Might hit you up later for an invite. Right now our schedule isn't great for eating at home.
[16:42] <rick_h__> cmaloney: gotcha
[16:43] <cmaloney> and I'd like to learn more of the art of turning stuff into meals.
[19:07] <brousch> rick_h__: Invite me to blueapron
[19:07] <rick_h__> brousch: email addr?
[19:08] <brousch> brousch@gmail.com
[19:08] <rick_h__> brousch: sent
[19:09] <brousch> I do 90% of our cooking, and grocery shopping
[19:09] <brousch> The worst part for me is clean up. I don't mind prep
[19:09] <jrwren> my wife does all, but I usually clean up.
[19:10] <cmaloney> jrwren: ^^
[19:10] <brousch> We currently have organic veg delivered every 2 weeks
[19:10] <cmaloney> I'm the dishwasher
[19:14] <brousch> rick_h__: Thanks. I'm signed up for the trial
[19:15] <rick_h__> brousch: cool
[19:43] <jcastro> smoser: rick_h__: I have 2 roku 3's for sale if anyone is interested
[19:48] <rick_h__> jcastro: thanks but good here
[19:48] <rick_h__> jcastro: hey do you know how i could stream offline google play movies to a tv w/o internet?
[19:49] <jcastro> I know I can download onto a device
[19:49] <jcastro> I am not sure if you can chromecast to a TV from that though
[19:50] <jcastro> let me test, it'll take my device like 10 min to DL it though
[19:52] <rick_h__> yea you can't chromecast it
[19:52] <rick_h__> but rge roku mention reminded me i want to look into that for when i'm camping
[19:53] <jcastro> I wonder if you could do a tablet with an HDMI Out plug
[19:56] <rick_h__> so most don't support it. i used to do that with my nexus 7 or 10
[19:56] <rick_h__> has a cable for it
[20:03] <smoser> some apps can chromecast offline
[20:04] <smoser> jcastro, why are you seeling perfectly good roku?
[20:05] <jcastro> smoser: hardware upgrades so they won't be used, one is missing a roku controller but I got a generic controller that also controls the TV for wife-friendly usage
[20:09] <jrwren> i know how you can stream off line google play movies to a TV w/o internet. 1. Use Kodi. 2. torrent the same movie. 3. play the movie.
[20:09] <jrwren> *zing*
[20:10] <jrwren> sorry, I know that isn't helpful. I just couldn't resist.
[20:39] <jcastro> that still won't work without internet
[20:40] <jcastro> would work with plex with the autotranscoding though
[20:42] <jrwren> um, that works without itnernet. I've done it :p
[20:43] <jrwren> I mean... step 2 has to be done ahead of time, of course.
[20:43] <jcastro> heh
[20:44] <jcastro> rick_h__: Adam got a piece of junk android tablet at Fry's last sprint for $40 with a mini sd card slot
[20:45] <jcastro> http://smile.amazon.com/Proscan-Android-Processor-Lollipop-Certified/dp/B018YGD846/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1458247484&sr=8-1&keywords=cheap+android+tablet
[20:45] <jcastro> aisrael: ^^^ like that right?
[20:46] <aisrael> This is the one: http://www.microcenter.com/product/448360/a745_tablet
[20:47] <jcastro> Marshmellow has a new feature
[20:47] <jcastro> where you can slap an sd card in
[20:47] <jcastro> and it will use that + the internal storage as one virtual disk
[20:48] <jcastro> that way you don't have to manually select where to put content and apps, etc.
[20:48] <jcastro> so like, one of these with marshmellow would be a perfect syncing machine for the google content
[20:49] <jrwren> i have something like that. mine is absolute garbage. at least that one has lollipop
[20:49] <jcastro> it's a 40 dollar tablet
[20:49] <jcastro> so yeah, heh
[20:50] <jrwren> yeah.
[20:51] <jrwren> mine was $60, a copule years ago. I thought, even for $60, I'll be able to use it for something... but no. it really is worthless. basic web browsing... tooo slow.  even youtube is too slow. it can play the video sure, but the app navigation and search is so slow its useless.
[20:51] <jrwren> Maybe I'm just too demanding.
[20:51] <jcastro> wait
[20:51] <jcastro> is today st. patty's day?
[20:52] <jrwren> paddy not patty.
[20:52] <jrwren> yes, it is.
[20:52] <jrwren> http://paddynotpatty.com
[20:52] <jcastro> why have we not been drinking all day?
[20:53] <jrwren> I've cut back on drinking a lot.
[20:53] <aisrael> It's never too late to start
[20:53] <jrwren>  I'm getting over a terrible cold.
[20:55] <jcastro> we had bad colds a few weeks ago
