Re: 2D8HP's extended mea culpa and Random Banter #218
My lingering teenager is giving the finger to the long list of people who told me that I'd never make it anywhere unless I stopped being so weird. (Note: actual teenager me wouldn't have dared. I didn't pick up such rudeness until grad school.)
I do of course make accommodations as needed to the requirements, but a lot of places aren't nearly as strict as people made them out to be. A little creativity can keep a good aesthetic and still be appropriate for most places.Hail to the Lord of Death and Destruction!

Re: 2D8HP's extended mea culpa and Random Banter #218
That reminds me, on Sunday I installed 32' (about 9.754 meters) of metal fence between our north neighbors driveway and our house while the neighbors were out because me wife has been seething about the neighbors leaning lumber on our house and parking so close.

Re: 2D8HP's extended mea culpa and Random Banter #218
in other news, I have been adopted by a stray cat, so I bought some cat food - as well as a neighbor in the same stack of apartments. Now I just need to make sure that a local racoon isn't eating the cat's food.
Has any one seen my jar of anti-protons or my cyclotron of positrons?

People argue about whether the Earth is "round" or "flat" as if they've never seen a mountain before.
I use braces (also known as "curly brackets") to indicate sarcasm. If there are none present, I probably believe what I am saying; should it turn out to be inaccurate trivia, please tell me rather than trying to play along with an apparent joke I don't know I'm making.

Re: 2D8HP's extended mea culpa and Random Banter #218
Relative to its overall size, the surface of the Earth is pretty smooth. Not quite as much as a pool ball, but moreso than a baseball, cricket ball, basketball, etc. The same would apply if it were flat, which it isn't. The existence of mountains isn't enough to change the overall shape from "round" to "something else".

Darn, now I'm wanting pancakes as well. We don't even have any lemon juice to go with sugar, and I'm rubbish at getting them properly thin!

Re: 2D8HP's extended mea culpa and Random Banter #218
I'm talking about pancakes, the thin things you have with lemon and sugar. Not those weird thick things Americans call pancakes.
Yeah, alright, crepes. Normally referred to as pancakes over here. I don't think we really have a word for American pancakes, the smaller variety can be called scotch pancakes or drop scones, but I don't think that applies to the ones with a large diameter.

Huh. I’ve had crepes a couple of times, but I had no idea actual pancakes were just an American thing. Interesting. You poor savages.

Re: 2D8HP's extended mea culpa and Random Banter #218
Nah, flapjacks are a baked thing made out of oats, normally stick together with... I think one of those liquidy forms of sugar. Never made them myself.
Then again Americans think you can make puddings without suet. One of the few legitimately amazing parts of English cuisine* and the lot of them think it's some kind of custard.
* Along with trifle, we actually seem to be rather good at deserts. Spotted Richard is always good for a laugh, but the ultimate favourite is sticky toffee pudding, ideally with lashings of custard.

Re: 2D8HP's extended mea culpa and Random Banter #218
I'm such an idiot that I not only didn't know desserts required suet, I couldn't even name any deserts WITH suet!
I was told that "pudding" meant "dessert, regardless of what the actual dish is" earlier, in this very thread. Of course, somehow both you and they are right and I am inherently wrong about everything purely because of geopolitical location{.}Last edited by enderlord99; 2018-08-03 at 10:09 PM.

Re: 2D8HP's extended mea culpa and Random Banter #218
Pudding means desert. I'm actually referring to suet puddings, a baked dish that uses suet pastry and may be savoury (as in steak and kidney puddings) or sweet (as in sticky toffee pudding), and ideally stodgy. Most people here will just shorten that to pudding, with other types of pudding being referred with qualifiers, such as Yorkshire Pudding, black pudding, or custard. Yes, that does mean you have to work out if somebody means desert or suet pudding based on context, it's normally easy.
Plus one of our classic deserts sounds like a disease of the nether reasons, I'm not sure why I'm acting so high and mighty.
