16 hours until my on call duty ends and thus my week long paranoia. Literally I couldn't poop without having the fear someone calls. At least the paranoia gives me a modest extra more to my bank account.

@scribus Due to the lack of projects that I want to make, and a lack of projects in general that involves my interests and expertise, I had to take this to keep me billable to clients. I shudder to the thought as well but it pays even when I get no call.

Now I need a table saw and a scroll saw and a belt sander and a lathe and a drill press and a mill and a .... I'm becoming a man one power tool at a time.

Burning your tongue on hot tea.
Thursday, 14-Jan-21 17:46:59 UTC from web-
@scribus Just happened to me. I poured steaming hot tea into my mug and didn't put a thought into waiting for it to cool down for a short while. But other to the actual case of that happening it's a great idea for using it as a metaphor for various things. Your interpretation fits it well. It can also applied to saying things that are potentially false or need more time to be sure they are not.

@adiwan It's always pizza and the roof of my mouth for me, but coffee does run a close second.
-
@scribus Pizza was also a problem for me. Thankfully I haven't burnt myself with pizza (and its cheese) for a long time. Those burns last for days. Whenever I make or buy pizza I am paying attention to the amount of fat and cheese it has, which are always the culprit. So in the case of making pizza myself I cover the pizza lightly with cheese that that there is not a thick layer that can keep the molten lava hot long after it's out of the oven. I like thin and crispy pizzas anyway. The more cheese and fat the soggier they are and the harder the slices are to handle and eat. I bake my pizzas such that the bread is stiff enough the pizza (slice) can hold up itself.

Watched this documentary on "deep time" and human history last night. It was all like, "Columbus set sail because 5 billion years ago a planetoid hit proto-Earth, causing the axial tilt which resulted in the weather patterns which led to spices growing in India. Meanwhile, the Portuguese got rich off of a dying star 7 billion years ago, which resulted in a silver deposit in modern-day Mexico..."

I haven't eaten an "Amerikaner" for a long time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_and_white_cookie Here it's mostly sold with only white glazing.

@scribus I'm not a pumpkin guy but I imagine a simple chunky butter wheat cookie covered with a sugar glazing and small caramelized pumpkin chunks.
-
@adiwan I'm actually using a basic sugar cookie, plus some gourd puree and relevant spices, a little maple syrup. So far, so good. Last time I was out of cinnamon so they were a bit more like ginger snaps than pie, like I'd hoped, but the texture was great and they worked even without the cinnamon. May cut down the cloves, though...

I was sooo optimstic that everything would be over sooner. I was thinking it'd be like SARS and MERS when it comes to the global impact. Serious but much more contained. How foolish I was.

@scribus 2022 will be 2020 Part 3: Return of the King. The end will be very long and will end many times, and will have a war towards the end with the remaining forces of evil. But it will finally be a new age of mankind.

Hey guys, if anyone wants to make a quick buck, the gold prices are likely to increase to by about 100$ an ounce in the next week due to the recent QE / Defense Budget

@oracle If you guys listened to me, you can now sell that Gold. About 100$ of gains

I was viewing a house for purchase but as I stepped in it was worse and worse the further it got. The seller wanted almost 300000€ but the stuff to repair and renovate can be summed up to 100000€ with ease. It looked OK fine from the outside but inside the house showed every bit of horror. The rooms have cracks in the wall. The cellar reeks of oil and had water damage (apparently fixed but I don't believe it's over). The windows are leaky. The thermal isolation has to be improved all around. It needs a new heater in 10 years.
Monday, 04-Jan-21 17:46:07 UTC from web-
@adiwan Water damage is never *truly* fixed (he said with the full extent of his real estate "experience" being haunted house horror flicks)
-
@scribus Yeah. It didn't bode when It was said that water pushed through the wall from the outside. There was a new isolating sheet installed but my suspicion alarm went off hard. There was only one side fixed and my fear was that the other sides were ticking time bombs.

Watched Shazam! yesterday on Netflix for the first time. It was... fine I guess. It didn't blew me away. Still a ton better than the other DC dumpster fires.

@adiwan It was a bit cookie-cutter and obvious, but it was a lot of fun! I want more fun in my movies. I'm over the grit; I think I was there a bit too early, it's worn out its novelty, lol.
-
@scribus It made attempts to be "fun", however I wasn't a big fan of the way it tried to present it. I got a huge character whiplash from Billy Batson in his normal and hero form. I've never had the feeling they were the same character. I can commend the jokes but they were not much of a hit for me.
-
@adiwan I think that might be a lore problem, there have been times where the kid and hero were pretty separate beings (at least, as I've read online; no firsthand comic experience, here). But I can totally see that being a thing.

Speaking of having nothing whatsoever to do, how fares the UK with its mutant COVID strain and tier-4 lockdowns?
Monday, 21-Dec-20 18:23:33 UTC from web-
@adiwan I get it mixed up sometimes too since I have no stake in it. The latest drama with Ireland is the EU wanting to check goods coming across the Irish Sea so companies can't dodge taxes by going through the North-South border, I think. I may have that mixed up. The UK is obviously mangoed off about that because North Ireland is part of the UK, obviously. I was talking to someone up there when I was in Belfast, and they gave the impression that it was going to cut them off economically and actively harm North Irelanders (at least from what my anxious mind was able to gather), which seems hilariously false if you think about it for two seconds. The goods will still flow, just not in the completely hands off way that the UK demands.

@thismightbeauser Maybe I should say North-Republic border? I dunno

@adiwan I thought that everyone involved would have demanded a pause on Brexit earlier this year, but it continues.

I'm looking at some houses for purchase because my current living condition has not a very good outlook because of my *neighbours* below me. Oh man... They are so expensive. Most of them are 450000€ or above. There is one house that is in a good area and slightly cheaper than the average, however it needs a ton of work.

Increasingly difficult to write letters to politicians when you aren't allowed to say "kill yourself"
Saturday, 05-Dec-20 17:16:57 UTC from web-
@scribus Around the time of that school shooting in Broward County, I had a cartoon written (and a background painted!) that was just Marco Rubio listening to a bunch of voicemails from constituents telling him to kill himself, it was like four straight minutes of just that, and then the punchline was that he... kills himself. I decided not to do it when I realized it would probably get me a friendly visit from some federal prosecutors looking to ask me some questions.
