I'm the only white guy wearing a mask at this meeting.
Fake a coughing fit.
Or get naked whichever works for you
4 am run with baby. Shortened it a bit because i am not used to stroller.
No peloton yet today.

I feel like FaWtL doesn't get as many visits from Paizo staff as we used to, and I'm wondering if that's because they trust us, or are afraid of us.
Since the latest updates to the forum software, I guess they don't need as much stress testing.
That and they're a lot busier than they used to be, so less free time to hang out in random threads.

I am both saddened and completely unsurprised.
Tell the truth, you were afraid it would be some kind of bridge made out of guinea pigs, weren't you?Well that is just freakin adorable.You would prefer a guinea pig bridge?My Dutch guinea pigs are trying to become beavers, so they're building a Hamsterdam.But guinea pigs and hamsters are two dif............
never mind

Afraid? No. Hoping? Kinda.
I'm going to a seminar today to be certified for salting sidewalks in Dane County.
Frankly, I hate salting sidewalks and can do without the five hour seminar. Unfortunately, it's a requirement for the job.
I love shoveling snow and salting walks.
Great exercise.
A half hour in and we've moved from trouble shooting chat features to introductions.

This may be naive, but how is there enough content on sidewalk salting to fill a 5 hour seminar?

You've just perfectly described every meeting with remote attendees that NH and I have had to be on for the last several years.

There isn't, but this is the Midwest, every meeting takes twice as long so everyone gets the requisite amount of "You betcha!" And "Oh Yah!"s.

So, with the pandemic and all, the only way most restaurants are managing to stay in business is through takeout ordering.
How can they possibly be so bad at it?!?!?!?
(1) Sumo Sushi: Impus Major orders their specialty: Super California Rolls. The receipt reads, "Super California Rolls". We get regular rolls, which are 1/3 the price.
(2) Dog Haus: Shiro orders onion rings. They're on the receipt. They're not in the sealed bags that were handed to the driver. (Yes, driver munchies has led to many restaurants now sealing their bags so drivers can't "tamper with" (i.e. eat) the food en route.)
(3) Barney's Burgers: Impus Minor orders garlic fries. The receipt says garlic fries. He gets regular fries.
And on, and on, and on.
Every time we order food delivered, there's at least one clear mistake on the order, where the food doesn't match what was ordered, or there's an item missing. And we stop ordering from that restaurant. It's easy to blame the driver if something is missing. But if the item is there but doesn't match what was on the receipt, or if the driver was handed a sealed set of bags and the order is wrong, well then... you're doing a terrible job, Mr. "I can only stay open as long as I get enough takeout business" restaurant.
(I think it's worse for an obsessive-compulsive. I go to Al's Big Burger. The counter woman is also the part-owner, and she checks every single bag going out against the receipt. It takes her over 30 seconds per order. Yet every order is right...)

Only Alfredo is still wearing his mask, other than myself.
Edit: Never mind, Alfredo took his off, then there was only one.

That may be a CA or Bay area thing. We do take out or delivery on a reasonably regular basis across a mix of local and franchise type locations and I would say the instances of mistakes are no more common than the drive through (and despite the admonition in Lethal Weapon 2, which is generally about 90% accurate).
Maybe our orders are not that complicated. We also tend to order from the same places and are from what I have been told, good tippers, so maybe the drivers recognize us and make sure it is right?
In case you can't tell, I don't feel like working much today.

I'm working...on a process that requires me to kick it off and then just babysit it watching for errors to pop up...on a test server...
Aiymi and I have noticed a huge uptick in errors from places that didn't previously have problems. And it's the same 3rd party delivery service that's been in operation in this area for a few years.

19997 emails in my Deleted Items folder. 15431 of them I didn't even bother to read. Way, way, way too many automated system emails that don't mean anything or don't pertain to me/my team.
Well yes, Uber eats and grub hub both have lots of new drivers - but it sounds like NH errors are occurring before the driver takes responsibility for the food.

Yeah, I'm saying we're seeing it too. In our case it's mostly just stuff that's not there rather than the wrong item, but I don't believe it's our delivery drivers stealing the food. This isn't Grubhub/Uber Eats, but a local company (exact same idea, but local to our little "metro" area) with largely the same drivers that were working for them before.
I got nothing then. Bojangles for lunch. Maybe hate chicken instead if the wife insists or the maid begs.

There is a surprising amount of crossover between the two.

Like...when the chart was made and what the person who made it had for lunch that day? That seems unnecessary.

Yup, we're still on brines.

In 1987 we realized that if you put two handfuls of salt on the meat per hour you get too much salt wastage (see this line right here on the chart), so we updated the chart to show that one small child handful of salt per day was sufficient. However, we noticed some amount of mold on the meat, so we revised the chart again in 1989 to...
And we're done with the history of the chart.
There is a surprising amount of crossover between the two.
Have they gotten to the part where they talk about reusing cheese brine for de-icing?

Yesterday was very good-news/bad-news.
The good news is that a consulting firm I applied to last week called to set up an interview today!
The bad news is that I was diagnosed with a kidney stone later in the day. The pain is not excruciating, so I'm hoping it passes on its own in the next couple of days.

Have you been any medication to help you pass it faster?
