Allow me to introduce myself ;)

I quit smoking 9 years ago, because it was getting too expensive. Which definitely made it harder for me to quit, because I didn’t stop because I wanted to. Back then prices for the brand I bought were “only” at 4.69 euro / 5.48 usd, but I knew it was only going to get worse from there. Now they’re at 8.04 eur / 9.40 usd, and I’m so happy I quit, but even more so because of my health, which I didn’t care about back then.

EDIT: Just checked, and it was actually 9 years ago, not 8.

That’s what I usually end up doing! So I’m glad to hear that.

This is what I imagine Zootopia fanfiction is like.

I didn’t consider that, but I think that’s a really good point. It makes sense to me, because I could see myself applying that kind of logic. Makes the 30ish min. rule make more sense.

That actually makes a lot of sense, when you think about it like that. I appreciate your contribution to science, by accidently burning yourself regularly and noting the results ;)

Y’know, that’s a good way to put it, and exactly the kind of point I needed to see, in order to put it into perspective.

I’ve read that thing about running water before, and I’ve always wondered - is it really expected that you run the tap for 30 min.? I know it’s for the good of the skin, and super important, but I always struggle with running the tap for that long.

Nobody is going to visit his house in Florida in 100 years.

You’d need some scuba gear, probably.

Start talking about our types in women (im a jeep, im sorry)

I’m guessing the “jeep” is slang for lesbian? I’m familiar with the U-Haul and Subaru tropes, but I’ve never heard anyone call themselves a jeep before, and my search efforts are falling me. Can anyone explain it?

When there was planning and forethought going into the White Russian, we used to use cream. But it quickly became such a preferred drink, that we didn’t always have cream at the ready, and it became a bit too fattening in the long run. So we started just using milk, because that’s what we always had around anyway. But then I stopped buying milk, and changed it out for oat and soy, so that’s what we’ve used since then, and now I’ve really developed a taste for the vanilla soy White Russian.

For me personally, there’s no doubt that a White Russian with cream is the best. But it’s more of a special treat, nowadays.

Or in my case today, they asked before I’d even tasted the food, lmao.

I want to make a White Russian tonight. But along with the vodka and Kahlúa, I want to add some Baileys. I usually use vanilla soy, instead of milk, because I like the taste and texture.

I started adding Baileys during the cold, dark winter months, which was a lovely evening drink. During summers, I usually go for a Tequila Sunrise, but today I’m in the mood for that softer, non-acidic feel.

EDIT: Just saw your description text, OP. Never heard of a Pas de Loupe before, but that sounds interesting. Is that Mezcal, Cynar, ancho, honey syrup and lemon juice?

Also, happy cake day!

I think the Italian version is worse, with her becoming pregnant, while sleeping.

I hate articles like this so much. ChatGPT is not sentient, it doesn’t feel, it doesn’t have thoughts. It has regurgitation and hallucinations.

They even had another stupid article linked about “AI blackmailing developers, when they try to turn it off.” No, an LLM participates in a roleplay session that testers come up with.

It’s articles like this that makes my family think that LLMs are reasoning and intelligent “beings”. Fuck off.

For more of that ‘awake during surgery’ feeling, as well as ‘smiling dude with glasses on’, I recommend James Lee.

This is what I always hope for, but fail to achieve with koldskål and kammerjunker.
