    Idk the exact proportions. Just wing it. With a bit of experience you’ll get it dialed in to suit your taste.

    Marinate anywhere from 2 hours to overnight. Longer time = stronger flavor. Cook the chicken on the grill if you have one. Otherwise, bake it in the oven.




  • Product designer/engineer in the US

    If the team is going out to lunch to celebrate a special occasion, then a single drink has always been fine in the teams I worked with. I don’t partake anymore because it makes me really sleepy in the afternoon.

    I worked at one company that hosted a weekly happy hour. I was one of the employees who took turns setting up the kegs in the common room, and pouring drinks during the event. That was a fun place. The extra social time really improved some working relationships. And we got a surprising amount of productive work done just by talking for an hour or two while standing around sipping microbrews and wine.

    Women are underrepresented in a lot of roles throughout the world. It is usually due to some combination of social norms, expected gender roles, lack of opportunities, and old fashioned sexism.

    It’s also possible you simply don’t see many female rappers because it’s not the music you seek out. There are lots of very talented women in the rap scene. Though they certainly do not get the attention they deserve (see the paragraph above).

    Edit: to answer the second part of your question, I’ll go old school and say Rebirth of Slick by Diggable Planets. Missy Elliott and Lauren Hill are top-shelf, too. Other people here have mentioned Doechii; she’s a new star on the rise.


  • Best ever is probably a group trip to Whistler many years ago. We got to our condo shortly ahead of a big snowstorm which closed the road behind us overnight. We awoke the next morning to a fresh layer of powder, and nearly had the whole mountain to ourselves. The only other skiers were people who had also beat the storm just ahead of us.

    Best recently was night skiing with my kiddo back in January. It was a Sunday night so we nearly had the entire hill to ourselves. The sunset and alpenglow were phenomenal. And multiple planets were out: Venus, Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter were all visible.
