I love those little bacon and cheese quiches.I bring them to holidays because it's the only edible food.
How my brothers grew up in a house with a Swedish Irish baker and suck that bad at cooking is beyond me.
If someone else is doing it for you, there's no reason to learn how to do it.
EDIT: How is it that EVERY time I talk about cooking I'm naked?

And I do love that both my kids use my brother's cooking at a paragon of badness.
"Man, that movie was worse than uncle's cooking!"
"Oh, it hurt so bad, I thought I was eating my uncle's cooking!"
I do love my kids.

I've always considered Alchemist my favorite Pathfinder class and goto argument for why D&D is terrible.
But, I realized, I've never actually had an Alchemist character.
Is that odd?
Even while trying to think of character for Strange Aeons, I never thought of Alchemist.

I learned to cook so that I could eat things without onions and peppers.
The kids are constantly complaining about what we feed them -- hey that gruel is cooked enough to kill most of the mold in it, it's not child abuse -- so I'm hoping we can channel those complaints into motivation into learning to cook.

I learned how to cook so I wouldn't have to do dishes.
And then I cooked professionally so I wouldn't have to work in a factory, and free food.
And then I retired from professional cooking for landscaping and heavy equipment so I'd like people and food again.

So, at some point, a loss in faith in humanity was discussed. Maybe not here, but somewhere...
Anyway, you wanna talk about losing faith in humanity; Dirty Grandpa, Unrated is currently the most popular movie on Hulu. And Dirty Grandpa is fourth!
"Hey Billy, I know we just watched Dirty Grandpa but let's watch the Unrated version to see how many more vagina jokes we can squeeze out of it"
Humanity has brought great shame upon itself.
Bad Santa was funny. Don't know about the sequel.

Yeah, I mean when the kids gets overstressed or have anxiety trying to get everything together or when they're being judged is rough but the rest of it is really awesome and heartwarming.

You could make a case for, I dunno, NOT doing the judging part when dealing with KIDS, right?
They need to be encouraged and supported in keeping up with cooking.
Don't humiliate them on TV.

I don't know. I was almost one, and have worked with a stage mother and former model before, professionally. It's a trade, like any other, and there's going to be bad times and worse people in it. But I would argue that's true anywhere. Calling someone awful because they are doing something you wouldn't(especially the worst of humanity) is a bit much.

That can happen with everything, or with the person's family even.

also, this. Considering the table flipping that goes on at the local McDonald's, I would say these kids are offered good advice and criticism- actual criticism, not high school art teacher level meltdowns.
That said it can get ugly quickly, and we never know what's going on behind closed doors or even the camera is off. Still, mommy dearest/the Gary Coleman story is an autobiography and a look at poor mental health with respect to ones children, not a how to guide. It's best not to use that as a base for judgement.

Been through some tough times. Deadlines on assignments creep in, bank account's nearly dry after a dentist bill, and roommate still fumbles with his own money as usual.

Sorry man, I know how that is! We're pretty tapped out ourselves and I still have to swing paying for two field trips (to the opera (or the Midwest equivalent, if you prefer) and laser tag, so not cheap).
Chin up, you'll find a way to pull through. :-)

I don't have this much stuff in me! I know, as I got well acquainted with exactly how much fits inside of me not too long ago, when it kept coming out...
At least he's not unhappy about anything, but daggum, kid, can we not have the most horrifically stinky poop yet today for, I don't know, an hour? Sounds nice, yeah?

If anything, the smaller the person the bigger the mess. Sorry! Welcome to my last week and a half. I'd tell you it gets better, but that won't help you, and I'm all pooped out. :-)

Ah, my plans for self-wellness are going along splendidly!
This morning I felt like ranting political quite a bit. Yet there are mysteriously no political threads on Paizo (thank you, "Hide Thread" functionality!). So I kept my mouth shut.
And I am a better man for it.

We've had several near-misses already, and quite a large number of... "incidents" therein. Technically it's my "wife's" chair (it's the one she claims and sits on when home... though it's also Grandpa's chair, whenever he visits, but she doesn't tell him and simply defers from respect), but it's also both boys' favorite chair.
Dang it.

So, here's an interesting question for technical and non-technical people alike, as I'm honestly curious.
We have a guy who's updating one of our courses, and he's supposedly got a decent technical background. He's testing the old labs, and he gets an error message: "You do not have permission to use the securityContext function here."
So he throws up his hands, gives up, and declares to us that the environment is broken.
So I got assigned to "fix" the environment, verified the error message, brought up the expression builder (a simple one-click tool), and it says, "The new call is getSecurityContext()."
Am I out of line for expecting a technical guy updating a technical course to be able to click ONE BUTTON to verify the function call instead of handing all the work off to me?
I swear, a 90-second debug that cost me 35 minutes because I had to do all the preliminary work to set up the bug in the first place...

no idea. I am not technical.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
No, you aren't out of line. If you're testing in Windows ( and the function does sound like it's a part of the Windows API ) then the person doing the testing should be knowledgeable in the API calls, should know how to use the available debuggers, and etc. This person sounds like he oversold himself on his capabilities. I, however, would take the opportunity to educate him, so that he may be a more proficient colleague.
Yep. Pretty much what I did. "You're using labs that are using the old API. Here's how to find the new calls," with steps and screenshots.
Hopefully that'll fix the issue.
But it's just one of the frustrations here at Global Megacorp: They tell us they don't have the resources to let us hire new people, then they assign us "really technically-savvy people" from other departments, and the "really technically-savvy people" promptly demonstrate that if things don't work exactly as-written, it's panic time.

Yeah, that story is 90% gibberish to me so I've no idea how much a decently-technical guy can be expected to know.

So technically, it was only one other person. Sort of. Kind of.
See, the youngest vomited on top of the eldest (who was in the youngest's room way too early), so I was woken by a panicking wife who'd slept a little too late anyway, who suddenly had exactly zero time to deal with the literal mess.
It was startling enough to, well, scare the literal crap out of my eldest. He was, fortunately, in a pull-up (we still use those as a night-night safety measure), but that was kind of a deal I had to help clean up in the shower as well. And so was the horrendously smelly poop that my youngest produced when he was terrified that I was going to put him into the shower. Which I did, of course, but not before cleaning him. Immediately after cleaning him, came another poop in a diaper on the way to the shower - this one on me. I cleaned him again, and had to clean up his room and my clothes and his clothes and so on. Too bad that while I was cleaning up after him, he had to poop all over the shower and his older brother that was in their with him. So I joined and washed myself and both of them, only for vomit central! My youngest once again eructed onto my eldest, though this time it was just light chunks and water. Finish cleaning that, and two more large poops on both of us. Finish cleaning aaaaallll that up... and he was done. For thirty minutes.
Either way, that was enough to get him back in a new diaper and my eldest (now very late) to school (he was feeling fine, aside from a cough and a very unpleasant morning), so we talked to the teacher and she let him come in, so long as it wasn't him vomiting.
Anyway, the last three were diapers of various sizes, but overall a very smelly and very impressive amount. Also green. I... I just... I don't know.
