A poll and cooking

[Poll #1441864]

I used up most of our pots and pans and all of our knives today to cook, in no particular order, buffalo burgers, macaroni and cheese (for my lunch tomorrow), banana bread, and the creamed new potatoes my dad remembers my grandmother making. Using a very old cookbook since my dad couldn't remember anything about it other than that the sauce was creamy, I actually recreated it perfectly (probably because that was a similar recipe to what my grandmother used). I'm very proud of myself. Also it was quite tasty.

I've wasted the day away reading Star Trek 09 fic, but at least I've worked on Uric a bit.

I had not seen the post, so your reason for asking is clearer now, but I don't think you're understanding what I mean by "it doesn't make a difference." My point is that you cannot look for one without looking for the other. You can't look for a space between cars without looking to see where the cars are. Ergo, you have to look for both. And yes, you can look for the cars without looking for a collision, because you can't prevent one without knowing where they are. Which is what I'm saying--it's all the same thing.

*shrugs* I think we're going to have to philosophically disagree because I believe it's the intent that counts. While you may see them, if you aren't actively looking for the cars, but are looking for the space between them, in my mind you'd be looking for the space regardless of whether you see the cars. But I can see we both have different definitions here and philosophies (being able to find the space without getting bogged down by the fist you're seeing is something you strive for in Bujinkan) so we might as well drop it.
