Wow. Months, huh?

Not impressed.

Of course, it'll depend a lot on how "clear" the stock is, and how it was initially prepared/how good your antimicrobial controls were… But if it's under a year or two, there's minimal 'freezer burn', and you're not financially in a position to toss it out of hand, just add some salt and overcook it a bit.

Judging from the lawsuit-fearing bastions of Internet cooking, realistically you're looking at 4-6 months, which is again likely 50% reduction from anything like an actual limit (which makes my year totally reasonable). And, you know, if there are no starvation concerns, it's like eating stale non-moldy bread… Probably not gonna kill you, but may impact your dish's flavor enough to make eating it much less pleasant than if you "started fresh".

How long does frozen home-made stock keep?

If Quora were a little more overt about the reputation/people rank aspect of the site, they might promote a complete profile, including bio, as a means of improving one's rank.

Along similar lines, it might be nice to allow "endorsements" or "upvotes" on a well done bio.

How can we get people to post their bios on Quora so we can get a better sense of who to follow?

My not-quite-3 year old enjoyed it on several levels on the plane back from Japan a while back. I'm not sure she gleaned any particular message from it, but if you're asking in terms of action/violence/language concerns, Despicable Me is pretty tame stuff – almost all the really scary/painful looking stuff happens to vaguely-anthropomorphized yellow blobs.

At 5-6, it'd probably also make for an interesting plot that's also "easy enough" to have an extended conversation about, to help draw out themes, vocabulary, etc if you want to take things that way.

Is Despicable Me appropriate for 5- or 6-year-olds?

I'm trying to imagine what I would be afraid of showing a 7 year-old from Wheels on Meals, and I'm coming up blank. None of Jackie's movies are better in terms of single-take stunt/fighting shots. In fact, according to Wikipedia:

Wheels on Meals was the first of two films which paired star Jackie Chan against former professional kickboxing champion Benny Urquidez (the other being the 1988 film Dragons Forever). Their fight in this film is typically regarded as one of the greatest on-screen martial arts fights ever performed. At one point in the final battle between the pair, a spin-kick performed by Urquidez is so quick that the resulting airflow extinguishes a row of candles. This is shown onscreen, with no cuts or trick photography.

What Jackie Chan movie has the most amazing stunts that would be a fun (and appropriate) first Jackie Chan movie for a 7-year-old boy?

Four seasons is a great thing, that allows you to both consciously and subconsciously note the passage of time, changes in your own body/health, etc much faster. It keeps you on your toes in a way that a "sunny and 60s" Bay Area never will.

Perhaps that's why there's such a focus on college students and recent grads in the valley – they're among the few people left who seem truly and consistently motivated, in cities filled to the brim with laidback flakes?
Say what you will about Chicago, but between the "nice factor" and the general vibe that people are, well, a bit more "alive" – if not always terribly interesting in purely intellectual terms – they've definitely earned their place as toppish startup hub.

All that said, if you're not a native of the cold, and don't have an entire childhood of "worse winter" stories to pull from, the winters can be pretty hard to take – especially if your job role doesn't include a fair bit of travel, and you haven't found a girlfriend/boyfriend to "bunny up" with through the darker months.

Why is Chicago depicted as a great place to work and live when it is so miserably cold there?
