jhunter_d's Gelatinous Jamborie of a Random Banter: #209

[LaZodiac]

Placement's mushing my brain.

I accidentally walked out of the shop with the shopping basket. Thank goodness it's just about 3-5mins away, but still, it was embarrassing as hell. And a good thing, I suppose, since I remembered to pick up some stuff I had not remembered the first time I got the shopping.

I also suspect the cashier is flirting with me and it's starting to get uncomfortable. And it's weird because he's like the only person I talk to IRL apart from people from my placement school.

Oh my, sounds like you're having a rough time. Good luck!

Perhaps go to a different cash register then? Assuming there is more then one.

[Coidzor]

Finnlassie: ack! I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you can catch a breather and rally. And, uh, good luck with that other issue.

This reminds me I need to order another gallon jug of Tabasco Chipotle, smoky goodness mmmmmm...

They... come.... that... size.... neeeeed.

Indeed. There's some really good sauce I've made before that's basically butter, Franks RedHot, garlic, and jalapenos (and it's an absurd amount of garlic and jalapenos). That stuff is the best. The base is just butter, vinegar, and cayenne pepper, though.

On the subject of hot sauces, I prefer things to be exceptionally spicy. Buffalo sauces are pretty good, as is Peri-Peri. I've recently taken a liking to Buffalo Wild Wings' Habanero Mango sauce, which is both very sweet and very spicy. Good stuff.

Mhm!

Nice. I think my tastes changed or else I just need to start eating spicier food more generally and more often and hotter to build up as much tolerance as a gringo can develop, as the Mango Habanero used to be my favorite but now I just... don't really taste the sweet anymore.

I don't know I've never tried it. I know when making our wings with it we add garlic powder to it though.

It is important to fortify y'all up there with extra garlic for those periods of time where there's no sun.

And garlic makes most savory things tastes betters.

... seems like I really am tired, since I didnt give the full details. I ran back to the shop immediately when I noticed (almost back home) and dear lord was I embarrassed.

I think they understood that. They were talking about your other issue.

It was more of a general clarification, in case someone didn't get it.

You intend to develop some kind of imaging ladar?

[Feytalist]

You intend to develop some kind of imaging ladar?

If each colour had a different texture, it might work.

Hellishly difficult, of course. But otherwise, what's the point

[Gnomvid]

So glue different grades of sandpaper to the different colors

[Asta Kask]

Or he could have a blindfold with small holes in.

[Razanir]

It involves learning where stickers are supposed to go, not dealing with the colors themselves.

So for instance, I might remember the cycle DF->UL->RD->BL->FR->UB->DF.

[AtlanteanTroll]

I can't solve a Rubik's, but if you can do it, going to blindfolded isn't that hard. I've seen loads do it.

How do you tell when you're done?

[enderlord99]

LOL BBQ Sauce!

[AtlanteanTroll]

How do you tell when you're done?

Memorizing, mainly. Will have to ask my friends.

Also Brother Jed is on campus, and I can't.

[Razanir]

How do you tell when you're done?

You guess. You memorize where everything has to go, solve everything, and hope you didn't make any mistakes.

[Solse]

I like this solution. Practical.

Since the hot sauce used in buffalo wing sauce is just a mixture of peppers and vinegar, the mildest possible hot sauce would be made with bell peppers (which are technically peppers, but are sweet rather than spicy) and cider vinegar (which is technically vinegar, but is sweet rather than sour.) Mix that with butter, and the results would probably be weird on chicken wings, but delicious (though still kind of weird) on popcorn. It would also be sweet.

Ah, the people here teach me so much about the art of food. In all honesty I am glad to read stuff like this as it helps me come up with new idea to test out. And I haven't gotten into spicy cooking at all yet. I think I still have yet to try out the spicy brownies...

I'm sorry for the school stress, I hope it all goes well though Finny.

Make the moment your own, walk in like it is a PRIVILEGE that they can have their basket back! But seriously sucks that you were all embarrassed, it isn't a fun feeling to have.

This is so awesome. I kinda want the little guy, he would guard my house well from the evils of the world.

....there are so many things I want to say about this that I don't know where to start.

[Mercenary Pen]

I'm trying to remember the internet "law" that states that anyone trying to correct the spelling or grammar of another is destined to make their own spelling/grammar mistakes in so doing- anyone able to help?

[Amidus Drexel]

Skitt's Law, according to this. You could probably also say Murphy's Law too.

That's... not quite the role it has in the movie. Don't watch it. I like this version better.

Muphry's Law is the name I'm used to.

[Teddy]

Muphry's Law is the name I'm used to.

Murphy's law is much more general, and to be honest a bit misapplied, because typos and grammatical errors is writing-gone-wrong no matter how little you care about it. This is more a case of the likelihood of shooting yourself in the foot being proportional to the height of the moral ground you're trying to take, or more general, that the likelihood of problems is proportionate to how important it is for you to avoid any problems.

I found the last one to be very true with erasers and exams: the smaller my eraser was, the more likely I was to make errors and the larger they would become. When the size of my eraser approached zero, I would frequently have to redo entire pages.

[Razanir]

No, it's Muphry's Law. As in an intentional misspelling of Murphy.

[AtlanteanTroll]

I have shared this with the chat already, but we have found the music of the future. Be warned, it is not for all.

[Razanir]

So apparently Grumpy Cat is getting a movie. I'm not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, Aubrey Plaza is perfect for the role. On the other hand, it's a meme getting a movie.

[Asta Kask]

It's nothing new. We had a couple of farmers who were famous for doing a commercial, where they spoke with a dialect. They traveled around the country for a year doing this. What they said wasn't very funny. Dialects, however, were apparently hilarious. It happens.

[AtlanteanTroll]

Okay, so do these baby baboons have really, oddly human faces or is it just me...?
