I shall have a tower. Young morons will come to my tower, wanting to benefit from my decades spent investigating the farthest reaches of the occult universe, and I shall be crabby and peevish, but eventually provide them with cryptic advice that will save them at a crucial moment. I am presently saving up for a bigger beard and a pointy blue hat.

Hilariously, he tried it with the U.N. "Hey, we pulled out of this treaty 2 years ago, but now we're invoking this clause and we have every right to do so because I had a lawyer write this 6-page memo as to why we still have standing!"

And the U.N. is pretty much, "Are you high?"

It's just really delightful seeing what passes as corrupt business-as-usual in the U.S. simply hit a brick wall of incredulity when attempted with other foreign powers.

It's like someone didn't tell them how the game is played or something.

Which also just puts into even more context why the Republicans are so gung-ho to breed distrust and hatred of the UN and EU and other countries besides ourselves.

I am so freaking sick of Hero Labs.

Actually, not of Hero Labs itself, but of trying to figure out a way to kluge Hero Labs to fit whatever WW says he's trying to do or buy.

I am pretty sure it has the ‘you cant do that’ button you can show him next time he tried to stretch the rules

Oh, gods, do I know THAT pain! "Yes, there are thousands of pages of rules across dozens of books, but I want to do precisely, exactly xxx, and no one's thought to write up that exact thing yet!"

Herolabs Online is terrible I'm told so he's left with riffling through the actual books.

Sorry, man.

Odd - must be banned in the US... O well. All you missed out on was some Fairy Pickle Klezmer.

Sitll don't know what that means!

I'm guessing fairy pickles are made of mushrooms and is German for some reason (because "Klezmer" looks like a German word).

So German fairy pickles made from mushrooms.

Science wins again!

(I am aware this is incorrect. I just don't know what it is. I'm aaaaactually guessing that in real life, it's alcoholic, however, as I associate the word "schnapps" with some sort of Christmas sweets - I don't know if they are or not, it's just where I associated it - and most such things I associate like that which are not specifically known to me are inevitably alcoholic.)

Best of luck to you with your current situation. It's going to suck for a bit, no doubt, but you did the right thing, I think.

Wrap your mind around this: he spoils the s&~$ out of his half black grandkids and great grandkids (who themselves are unruly undisciplined s!!+s who demand their own cakes on other kids birthdays and have never been told no in their life). Because grandson totally ignores his father, his father's culture, and does what he says when he says and asks how high when told to jump. Nate - he deserves no anonymity or title of grandfather/great grandfather - that's his real name - is an assimilator.

Grandpa has money.

I am not money motivated. Respect matters far more than me.

Poor Tala. What a mother.
Watch out for her trying to use other family members to get to Tala and try to guilt her in the coming days.

She has said EVERY SINGLE person who defends her mother will be unilaterally cut off over this.

I feel so shamed just writing that even as a joke which is not to be taken seriously.

(Pretty sure those two jokes are taken from YouTuber named, uh... oh, man, what... uh... it's one of those I sometimes go to from MyMother'sBasement videos. They're kind of a loose confederacy.

Anyway, disclaimer is laid here for purposes of, "Hey, you stole that joke!" and, yes, yes I did. From anime. Which means that NH's Corporate Job that one preemptively American? site is now stealing from the fourth-worst-tier anime memes*. That should really be cause for reconsideration in life - if you're scraping the bottom of the animeme barrel.)

I just finished Deep Sky Derelics.

A neat game of scavenging ancient spaceships for working devices and sellable trash. A weird combo of a tactical and a card game that becomes more and more popular. Think Darkest Dungeon meets Slay The Spire in a retor-futuristic settings.

Music is excellent. Graphics and conversations build a rather grim but humoristic setting. Regretfully, most of loot is crap to be sold with only occasionally useful thing that you will keep for yourself (and later ditch when it gets obsolete after a few levels).

Theoretically the game replay value lies in getting a squad of completely different classes, but I am a bit afraid that without some of things my first squad had and I learned to rely on (primarily powerful AoE attack that Miner can learn midgame) might make a new game tedious.

Sounds neat, actually.

The times they are a changin.... while somehow still staying the same.

[gran rey de los mono]

God, I love this training. Not only is it completely unrelated to my job, but it is so well written. Like this quote from the slide I am on now:
"Go over the diagram on site to be sure that has been correctly drawn."

Yep, that's good English.

[gran rey de los mono]

Or this one, on the next slide:
"... and decide which areas in which potential hazards ..."

[Very_Simple_Commoner]

Is it just me or...?

[Vidmaster7]

Very_Simple_Commoner wrote:

No no it's not just you... that "don't make no sense."

[gran rey de los mono]

There have been so many that I haven't mentioned. Especially misplaced commas. Something like:
"And the, next step is..."

[Vidthulu]

The real test is to your sanity..

[gran rey de los mono]

"... potential hazard, the food, its method of preparation, transportation, storage are considered ..."

I feel like there is an "and" missing.

[gran rey de los mono]

I have completed 12 of the 14 lessons. So far, there has really been very little of use in them. And since the next two lessons deal with seafood, I expect that there will nothing of use in them either.

[gran rey de los mono]

I have two issues with this line:

"... help ensure that seafood is not only tasty and healthful but safe to eat."

First, I feel that there should be a comma before the "but". Maybe I'm wrong about that, though.

Secondly, and this one is not grammatical, but surely if something isn't safe to eat, then it isn't healthful?

That Fallout is like a toothache or an open wound, isn't it? You (plural, including GothBard and probably Shiro too) keep telling how bad it is, and yet you returning and poking it with a stick to see what seeps out of it?

[John Napier 698]

Hello, everyone!

[Drejk]

I just got new texts to translate (into English).

The completely unrelated samples posted by grey make me squirm while I try to reverse engineer the original meaning...

I had, in the past, done reverse-engineering of a translation from Polish to English back to Polish so I could correct the errors - because the original author made a lot of direct calques from Polish to English that made no sense in English because idioms, idiomatic expressions, and different grammar.

[Vidmaster7]

Uh you know Gran's test is probably written in a different language initially and translated over which is why it's so weird. Good thinking Dr. Ejk.

I think it was probably written in dumbass-ese, and was then translated into dumbass English.

[gran rey de los mono]

Oh, but here's a great tip from the lesson on seafood:

"Buy only from reputable sources. Be wary, for example, of vendors selling fish out of the back of their pick-up trucks."

Man, I thought that was how all the best restaurants got their fish!

[gran_funny_joke_time]

Ok now that was funny.

[Vidmaster7]

The fact that they feel it is necessary to put that in their does make me not to ever want to eat at a sea food place ever again though.

[gran rey de los mono]

"The secret to success in Food Safety is quite simple. Recognize and develop your strengths. Recognize and minimize your weaknesses. Remember that you are unique. Make a plan and stick to it!"

I'm not sure why the bold is necessary, and one of those things is not like the others.

[Vidmaster7]

Yeah whoever wrote this had a certain word count they were working towards. It reminds me of some of my essays in high school.

[captain yesterday]

I remember when I had to take food safety every few years when I was a sous chef.

Good times!

[gran rey de los mono]

Well, I finished the training. Managed to do all 8 hours in just under 5. Now I have to schedule an online exam, with someone watching and listening over the webcam to make sure that I am who I say I am, and that I don't cheat. Fun.

I wouldn't mind so much if it was just food safety. They are making all of us take a Food Safety Manager course. Because reasons.

As someone with experience in the food service industry, perhaps you can explain to me why, as someone who used to set up a hotel's continental breakfast and now puts out granola bars and individually wrapped bagels, needs to know about proper facility design and the creation of a HACCP plan? Because I'm f!%&ing stumped.

[Vidmaster7]

You also need to know not to buy your fish from strangers in trucks gran.. very important.

[gran rey de los mono]

Oh, and as an example of how well-designed the course was, nowhere - not once -- in the 14 lessons was it mentioned how long someone needs to keep records on any beef they grind, and yet that question was asked twice on the final quiz.

The answer is 1 year, by the way.
