In that case, I’m going in. See you all tomorrow!

Edit: I’m back. What year is it?

Are you saying you have zero tolerance for zero tolerance?

They’re using plate?!? That is harder to come by, but I have a source. I may give it another shot but it’s been so long that I’m not sure I could try to replicate it.

I just found out you can order their pastrami online. I may order a pound and try again. Thank you so much for the info! Now I have months worth of pastrami testing to do.

Nah, the second monitor is for Lemmy. The third monitor is for porn.

I had some years ago. They ended up chipped as hell. That’s when I bought some halfway decent (not good, just not Target grade) steel ones that aren’t stainless. I hone the ones I use most a couple of times a week and the rest of them on an as needed basis. I sharpen them as needed.

If your schedule and executive fiction allow for it then I highly recommend it. Ceramic is sharp as fuck, but not enough sharper to deal with buying a new one every time it chips.

My assumption is that he said something like “It all sounds like made-up Star Trek bullshit.”

You’re probably right, but man I sure did try. And I’ve made pastrami since then using more traditional times. I make pretty ok pastrami, but there’s something in Katz’s that I just love.

Chrono Trigger (and Chrono Cross for that matter) is a better game for sure but I played Crystalis as a kid when it first came out so it’ll always hold a special place in my heart. Chrono Trigger came out when I was about to become a teen so I had other things on my mind at the time.

As for Baldur’s Gate…kind of? Without going too far into it, most of the D&D worlds had some sort of apocalypse in their past. Faerûn’s apocalypse was so far back that they’ve completely rebuilt, and they were already fantasy so there was no serious genre shift (it’s high fantasy) and it doesn’t fall under the Earth All Along trope. The floating city that crashed when shit went wrong was held up by magic.

Ok, I went further into that than I meant to. I’m an old nerd.

I loved Chrono Trigger! The very first example of this that I ran into as a kid was Crystalis. You are told at the beginning that it’s Earth after an end of the world event, but it’s a sword and sorcery overhead action RPG (think original Legend of Zelda with slightly more RPG, slightly more action, and slightly more varied combat) and ends with you shooting advanced technology with your magic sword.

If Hobby Lobby doesn’t want to provide insurance that provides coverage for healthcare issues then they should lobby to have health insurance nationalized so that they won’t have to provide shit. Because having healthcare tied to your job is batshit insane.

I can’t tell if you’re a true believer or a really good troll. If the first, eat a whole bag of dicks. If the second, great job. I truly believed you’re an idiot and a complete piece of shit. This is a masterpiece of satirizing cranial-rectal inversion the likes of which you rarely encounter in real life.
