You weirdo brits and your savory pies...
I try to be as weird and as savo(u)ry as I possibly can, so thankyou.
EDIT: Yes, it is supposed to look like that. It's called a crimped crust.

Yes, yes, we all like to crimp the crust.

Hello everyone :-)

Yes, that's really my daughter.

Hello, Crookshanks!
If you're hungry, there are still some pies left, I think. Alternatively, there's a Swedish fish over on another thread.
| 3 people marked this as a favorite. |
And seriously, CY? You let your daughter onto these boards, and the FIRST place you point her is FaWtL?
For shame!
You might as well have gotten her started on a fallen paladin thread or something!

If you read Cosmo's disclaimer, those are made of sugar and sawdust. Not my cup of tea.
If I'm going to add wood shavings to water, make it manzanita!

Not that you were denied opportunity to disguise as NH and drive GothBard to work... Nope.i would clone you just so that this doesn't happen again, but then I would have to poison cake TWO of you, and that would be too much work. Please send my regrets to your wife.So, the *problem* with having a cushy work-from-home job with extremely flexible hours is that, on occasion, your boss actually requires you to, y'know, be there at a specific time working your tail off on a specific project.
And the people who are relying on you to be flexible can get really p****d off about it. (And possibly justifiably so.)
NobodysWife had a pre-treatment doctor's appointment this morning, so she asked whether I could drive her to BART when she got back. I said, "Sure!"
Cue my boss ripping into my labs and asking for all kinds of debugging help, so I was heads-down stuck to my screen for the next 2 hours.
So NobodysWife got home, asked for a ride, and I told her she'd have to drive herself, resulting in:
- Her having to park sticking into a red zone because of all the construction around the station, losing 10 minutes
- Her just barely missing her train and losing ANOTHER 10 minutes
- Her being extremely frustrated and stressed before even getting to work
- My having to ask my boss for a 10-minute break just to bike over and get the car.So all a big, stressful mess this morning, all because sometimes, your boss actually needs you to be doing something.
Pesky bosses!
no, if NobodysHome is actually at work, it would be unwise for me to disguise myself as him, as conversations he has with Nobodyswife later on that evening would not match up. It would be better for me to either clone him and get him and have his clone get him up to speed on what they talker about, or just offer to drive Nobodyswife to her train station myself.

CY, you really don't value Pea Bear's sanity if you let her come here before she is 45.

LOL. You've never worked for a Global Megacorporation™
EDIT: This morning's fun: My manager was testing my labs and typing a constant stream of questions and comments at me, so I was stuck, glued to my screen, for 2 1/2 hours. Then I had to run Impus Minor to the doctor. The moment I got back, my manager asked, "So why haven't you finished the rest of the labs yet?"
And I was NOT allowed to say, "Because you've been badgering me all morning?"
Oh, OK. I could have said it and gotten away with it, but only because we've been working together for 13 years now...

LOL. Post your questions here. I was a math professor for 8 years. I've even got a Ph.D. and everything.
But if you start calling me "Doctor", I'm going to flee!
EDIT: And yes, as a programmer, I DO use them every day.

Do u use schematics too
It depends on your definition of "schematics", but again, almost every day.
So, here's a little about my job: I work for a company that produces "enterprise" software, which is a fancy name for software that other companies use.
For example, suppose your dad is really really nice, and sets up a nice juicy college fund for you at Bank of Yesterdayville. You go to the web site to check your balance, make some online purchases, and transfer all of your dad's retirement fund ($0.28! Woo hoo!) into your account.
Behind that web site is a HUGE amount of software. There's security software that makes sure no one else can get your money. There's database software that keeps track of it (and you). There's rendering software that makes the web site look pretty (or ugly). My company sells that software.
Ok. Now Bank of Yesterdayville needs someone to install all that software, get it working the way they want it to, and get all their data in there.
That's where I come in. My job is to teach people how to do all that and do it well.
And yeah, it isn't easy.
I get crappy software that doesn't work, smack lipstick on it, figure out how to make it work, determine what doesn't work, and present it to customers and contractors in a nice little bow saying, "If you listen to me and do exactly as I say, everything will be fine!"
And they completely ignore me and do something psychotic and everything explodes.
Then they complain that I never warned them not to be stupid, and I point out my very first slide, "Don't be stupid!"
"But I wasn't paying attention!"
And such is my life...

Welcome CrookBear! PeaCrook! PeaShanks! Dang it, I'm ninja'd!
Oh, okay.
CY, why did you direct her here, of all places, do you not even value her sanit- DANG it! Ninja'd again!
Right, right, fine.
If you think middle school tests your sanity, you should try- DAGGUMMIT, people, I've got a life, here!
Okay. Okay, alright. Let's try this:
She can't be a new you, CY, she needs more aliase- REALLY?! Am I just "Mr. Obvious Joke" today? Sigh.
Well, we can always go with our old standby (Math) to spark a good welcome!
I use algebraic expressions every day- oh, for heaven's sake.
Nevermind.
In the face of my enormous and repeated failures at humorous greetings:
Welcome!
Glad you're here!
Get used to ninja'ing me!
Everyone else does!
XD

The struggle is real...
Boiled down, my job is pretty much just like his. I also use algebraic expressions every day. So will you, and you may not even realize you're doing it.
You know two pieces of information, but you don't know that crucial 3rd piece to give you the complete picture. What you do know is how they fit together, so you can figure out what the third piece is, even though nobody has completely told you what it is.
In real life, you may not *know* how they fit together, but you can come up with all the ways they *can* fit together, guess which possibility is the most likely to be true, and fill in the missing information based on that relationship. It's called deductive reasoning. Everyone does it on some level. It might not be written out like an algebraic expression, but that's exactly what it is in practicality.
That answer might be a little deep for this thread. My apologies.

Indeed.

You know... I never thought I'd ever use that one again.
Yep. Kilgrave is, frankly, the worst.
Also, he's noticeably getting worse.
Either way, episode 12 is... amazing.
Kind of like what most fans "waaaaaaaaaaaant-question-mark-?" but at the same time really don't, and gut-wrenching to watch.
Also: kiiiiiiiiiiinda surprised that it worked on him, at the end. I kind of thought it wouldn't.
WELP: queuing up the next episode 'cause I ain't getting anything done 'til I see how this puppy resolves.
I can only expect it's all sunshine and rainbows.
Yes.
Except for you, Crookshanks.
It's sucky and boring for you.
YAY~!
SHE APPEARED IN THIS SERIES, TOO~!
SO HAPPY (except, of course, for the circumstances)!
SPOILER: Iron Fist
Also, his shirt is handed to Danny Rand, later, and she told him that her "friend" was "better than you are" so... he'll be fine.

I feel like a great opportunity to take the name Pea-bear was missed here. Still I would not blame you for not taking that name.
Also two generations of Paizo posters is kind of cool.
