I'm guessing that ye old Limey is talking in Imperial pints, which is roughly around 550-560ml if I remember correctly...
So he would be around 1100ml full of beer ^^
Edit: Typical, talking about beer and my pants go flying out the window...

FINALLY SAW BLACK PANTHER IN THEATRES
THEY CANNOT TAKE MY BLACK CARD AWAY
Told you not to remove it from your watch list.
But hey, Wakanda is a lawful society, no?
I'd peg Mbaku as Neutral Good.

Oh yeah, downer ending. But me thinks what they need to do is steal the Time infinity stone off Thanos’s gauntlet and start reversing time.
I loved Spidey’s movie references, especially the scene with Mantis, ”Is she going to catch me and infest me with eggs?”
Bruce I think should learn how to fight in non-hulk mode, though he does a pretty good job about it once suited up.
Spidey’s new costume with legs growing out of it is…a tad creepy. Reminds me of Doctor Octopus.
Gamora – would it have been possible to use modify memory to erase her knowledge of the location of the infinity stone?
Star Lord really should have learnt to keep his emotions in check(they were so close…!), though if what Doctor Strange is true, all was meant to be.
And I'll miss Loki. Both of us are trickster types. Though he died doing the right thing.
What would have happened if Vision had managed to get the infinity stone destroyed at the start of the movie?

Tequilia - drink more water. Also, what you collecting nomination signatures for?
Oh yeah, like NH, I drink a ridiculous amount of water regardless of heat or exertion.
The sigs are to nominate me to be a Precinct Committeeperson (PC), which is the 'entry-level' elected position in U.S. political parties. It's not a government position -- basically I'll be registering people to vote when they move into the neighborhood, and reminding people to vote come election time.
Finally got around to finishing my Toki quest, but only got 4/8 I think. I don't like all the random stuff, though her hero power does synergize with it, I admit.

Don't go for random. You can only reset once per round. I can't even remember what I did because of all the time reversals and re-runs.
I think it involved archmage Antonidas, Mana wyrms, extra Mana crystals and lots of fireballs.
And Eww on political office >.<

People tend to like the smell of freshly cut grass. Maybe this is due to our ancestors linking that smell with the presence of herbivorous prey.
Seriously?!
I was just woken up by the roaring of lawnmowers before the gods-damned 9 am.... The smell of freshly cut grass is spreading all around...

I had a dream about me playing a part in a... I think it was a TV series pilot regarding a group of aliens invading the Earth by taking over/replacing people. There were some discrepancies about missing anthropologist that were supposedly dead but they kept appearing in various places that lead me to the invader's stronghold (and the word stronghold explicitly appeared in the script).

There was some other complex dream prior to that but I don't remember the plot, only a few scenes that were mostly my neighborhood albeit slightly twisted (the bus doesn't go that way, there is no shop where I was going by that bus, never mind I'd not bother with using bus for a few hundred meter trip, although I think I visited that not existing shop in some other dreams, etc.).

One big difference between men and women is that if a woman hands you something and says "Here, smell this", it probably smells nice.
Not necessarily.
Mom: "Here, smell this" and/or "Here, taste this."
Amby: "That smells/tastes off/weird/awful/spoiled."
Mom: "I guess the expiration date was right."
Amby: ಠ﹏ಠ

So I spent the weekend camping in a wooded state park about an hour away with Zelda and her kids. Aiymi was going to come, but due to the medication she's on she was not allowed to be in sunlight.
Nice relaxing weekend. Quiet. Left the phone in the car. Got a little too much sun, but nothing serious.
Come back here and I'm bombarded with "My monitor doesn't stay on, and I know it's because this cord is loose." And you didn't tighten the cord you've already identified? No. No she hadn't. Didn't even cross her mind. Nope. And she wouldn't do it herself. I had to go to her desk to do it for her. The relaxation from the weekend was completely undone before 9:45 this morning.

Stupid Waunakee and it's weirdly capricious wireless networks.
And why does every guy walking around in the day walk a tiny dog and wear a red polo shirt.
Reverse vampires, that's why.
I'm going to say...it really depends on what part of Waunakee you're in. Carriage Ridge area? Southbridge? Nothing else is jumping out at me as "trendy newer area dominated by tiny dogs".

I spent this morning trying to make a super-twitchy parts management program work. Which I may have been able to figure out, except for my boss, who insists that I do all the typing and clicking because he needs glasses, but wants to make all the decisions. And do everything according to the training guide, verbatim, and nothing not written in the training guide, for fear of f#$~ing something up. (And he may be justified in that fear, 'cause it does happen.) And of course the task holding us up from doing anything else was not included in the training guide. But it took hours of reading, rebooting, rereading, searching the corporate website for help guides, fiddling with a related program, and then showing me how his fiddling is pointless to decide to call corporate HQ for help.
Ughhhhhhhhhh...

The one thing I will say in defense - if you follow the instructions verbatim and the stuff doesn't work (and you're talking about specific directions for a corporate, supposedly somewhat standardized environment), then it's much harder for them to realistically brush you off assuming you're doing it wrong. You'll still get kickback from them, sure, but once you convince them that you did indeed not vary at all from their written instructions, then if there's a shred of logical honesty in them they'll be forced to look at themselves and their procedures.
That is a good thing.
It's also what NH's testers are *supposed* to be doing in the first place, before it gets to the end users, for those very reasons.

Melon puncher because the supermarket were getting rid of some watermelons, so we put one on a pole and I punched it with the punch dagger, which was entertaining and disturbing at the same time.
Man who fell over because I was walking home with my rucksack of swords, having had a pint or two to drink, and decided to stop off at the pub for another one to round off the evening. While trying to get change out of my pocket with the rucksack on, I overbalanced and fell on my arse. However, the swords were fine, and I got my pint (Black Lion mild - very nice), so all's well that ends well.
I can imagine how melon punching can be disturbing. It's like the watermelon flesh is the same colour as blood.
So you drank about 900 ml of beer then was trying to do a balancing act. It makes sense.
You can carry swords in rucksacks without getting stopped where you are?
It was more than 900ml - I was being understated - but yes, I can - I've got a legitimate reason for carrying them, am a member of a club and have the appropriate insurance, and I wrap them up so they don't look too 'weapon-y'. Plus, I'm a middle-aged respectable-looking whiteperson, so unless I go out of my way to be obnoxious, law enforcement leave me alone.
