[errant raven]

2.3b for a mega sphere mostly used for advertising

[proud jay]

wrong v

they do concerts and video things on the inside

[errant raven]

It has a inside

[proud jay]

correct

see the video

he goes to a U2 concert inside it

[errant raven]

2.3B well spent then

[proud jay]

I think it was U2 at least

[waxen oriole]

after z comes æ then ø then å

[errant raven]

Could've built more homes and appeased the housing market but woooo concerts and stuff!

[proud jay]

I don't think this is all tax money though

just a company doing it

[errant raven]

Bring back warp tour

[proud jay]

why are you not giving up all your money to build housing for others

[errant raven]

Because I dont even have a house of my own

I do not have 400k+

[proud jay]

I think there's banks for that

but so if you have a house, you'll give all your money away then

[empty dune]

Ask daddy elon to build some homes for you then

[errant raven]

Going in debt isnt worth it

[waxen oriole]

uwu

[errant raven]

If I had jeff Bezos money I'd spend 75% of it on buying land and building houses

[proud jay]

so where do you live then

in a cardboard box?

[proud jay]

that's what you say now

[errant raven]

Nah with my mom

[empty dune]

That's jeff bezos fans

[proud jay]

wait till you'd actually have it

[errant raven]

That's the thing, I'll never have it

[proud jay]

yeah, so easy to say what you would do

so do you think your mom going into debt to buy a house that you live in was not worth it?

[errant raven]

Could make it more realistic by just saying if I was well off like 60% of americans

[zinc wagon]

bill gates is already half way there :) just he's not building houses and probably will strive to make everyones life harder to make more money

[errant raven]

I'd do my part and pitch in for it

[waxen oriole]

[unborn lotus]

Oh nevermind

[proud jay]

I think france did most of africa at one point

[zinc wagon]

not even arabic lol. it's amazighi

[proud jay]

hence french still being a predominant language in large parts of africa

[errant raven]

Did you laugh at netflix getting sued by Egypt over that shitty Cleopatra "documentary"

[proud jay]

my friend from tunisia also speaks a strange language that's a mix of arabic french and some local stuff

[zinc wagon]

i laughed at the fact netflix greenlit that shit in the first place

[proud jay]

but they type in latin alphabet, so they replace some arabic characters with numbers, really strange

[zinc wagon]

oh yeah and guess what? that's not even "proper" arabic

[empty dune]

Darling in the FranceXX

[proud jay]

you mean blacklit

[zinc wagon]

if you go at arabic's speakers you'll see zero people actually have arabic as their native language

[errant raven]

Haha

[proud jay]

idk why that's funny

[errant raven]

Where did all the people who screamed cultural appropriation at when theres real cultural appropriation going on 😦

[zinc wagon]

funny cause technically true

[zinc wagon]

it's only relevant when it effect african americans it seems to me. but again the project was horribly rated and was overall net negative for netflix

[empty dune]

Bold move calling people on twitter "people"

Edit: I can't read

[proud jay]

I like how those people tried to push "latinx" instead of latino or latina, and the whole spanish community hates them now

[errant raven]

I always felt that africans in africa dont like african Americans. Much like Europe doesnt like Americans even tho were also their descendants

You don't get to talk if your github still has a master branch😡😡

i heard unity 6 just got announced 😮

[proud jay]

who cares

[empty dune]

What's new

[pale scarab]

wow the untiy dev really trying to make things right! this is good news

[proud jay]

is it though

[zinc wagon]

no not at all actually. it's funny cause when people learn to speak english they always start with the "african american gansta accent"

[pale scarab]

but the game industry does 😦 we should care

[pale scarab]

unity 6 😔

[empty dune]

Lmao

[errant raven]

You mean broken english

[zinc wagon]

people (not exclusive to africans) just hate america in general

[proud jay]

well it depends how you define broken english

its' cultural

it's not "official" english

but how many people speak their clean official language

[fleet tangle]

Even Americans, if you believe republicans about everyone who disagrees with republicans.

[proud jay]

I know about 0 people here that speak "proper" dutch, everyone has dialects

[empty dune]

Funny thing is India is categorised as the largest "British English" speaking country in the world

[zinc wagon]

technically american english is "broken" english. UK english is the true english

[fleet tangle]

One attempts to on all occasions.

[errant raven]

That's why I spell everything the uk way

[proud jay]

I never attempt to speak proper Dutch

I like my accent

and I'm proud of it

and it's part of local culture

[fleet tangle]

No English is the "true" English.

It's all a hodge podge of random languages and evolving words.

[empty dune]

Yes true scotsman

[errant raven]

Broken English as in non proper english, exempt dialects and accents

[proud jay]

what doe though meaneth with that

[proud jay]

what defines proper

[zinc wagon]

american politics is the messiest thing i ever seen in my life. no surprise that most americans dont like to get into politics because it doesnt seem like there's a party that would cover your needs/beliefs. it's either exterme left or exterme right

[fleet tangle]

Wherefore art thou questioning mine deliverances?!

[unreal ether]

I'm an English native but I'll be damned if my vocabulary isn't, ashamedly, littered with northern slang

[proud jay]

and what separates broken english from a dialect

[empty dune]

Thy mother hath smelled of elderberries

[errant raven]

I suppose grammatically correct

[proud jay]

dialect is also not grammatically correct in a lot of instances

[fleet tangle]

Correct use of wherefore, I'll have you know.

[errant raven]

I dont even use correct grammar 😅

[empty dune]

Is that a threat?

[unreal ether]

For instance "Tha'll be rate" is a perfectly valid sentence up north but is by no means of the language traditional English

[fleet tangle]

Isn't everything?

[errant raven]

@zinc wagon The "gangster accent" is more slang than an accent/dialect, to be clearer.

[zinc wagon]

whenever my english lads speak to eachother i just feel like im listening to a whole other language lmao. often time they need to dumb what they said to me down so i can understand

[errant raven]

Each gang has their own way of talking, which each gang having subsets "cliques" that also have their own way of speech

[median wraith]

chrome nows with all circles and rounds feels like, Windows Vista we are back! Not for so long, then the corners will come back

[zinc wagon]

not much of an issue now but holy it was painful two years back

[errant raven]

Reminds me of those "wind powered ships" that came around a year or so ago

[unreal ether]

I always put the slang away for my non northern and non native friends otherwise they sit in confusion lmao

[fleet tangle]

I heard a Scottish person (one of my rp buddies) legitimately say 'mooey'. I was both shocked and appalled.

[empty dune]

Is that what they call a cow?

[fleet tangle]

Mouth.

To lamp one in the mooey is to punch them in the face, basically.

[zinc wagon]

well im not saying they learn who to write or the unique words of gansters in america lol. just meant the way old movies with black protagonists used to speak. rush hour is a great example lol

[empty dune]

That is appalling

[unreal ether]

I think my favourite one is bog roll = toilet paper

[errant raven]

Is that the movie with Jackie chan

The movie with the "I'm mi that's yu" "no you're you and I'm me" scene

[zinc wagon]

oddly enough tho they sometimes i guess forget about proper english word. i remember one time i said "gentlemen" and they were like "the fuck is that??"

[fleet tangle]

That totally makes sense!

[zinc wagon]

lmao yes!

[zinc wagon]

my favourite is the slang for cigs

catched me off-guard multiple times

[errant raven]

Stogie?

[proud jay]

no

[zinc wagon]

no

[unreal ether]

no

[errant raven]

Ciggy?

[proud jay]

the same word as slur for gay people

[errant raven]

Almost said it

[zinc wagon]

that is fucking unfair 😢

How many americans go to belgium expecting belgian waffles to be a fancy thing

[proud jay]

how should I know

[unreal ether]

I mean Belgian waffles are superior

[proud jay]

do you think I interact with these American tourists?

[zinc wagon]

chips dont crumble last i checked 🍟

[fleet tangle]

Unlike Belgians, ho ho ho

[proud jay]

I am not the minister of foreign affairs welcoming every individual visitor

[errant raven]

I just expected it to be common

[slim atlas]

can i execute begin play on package?

[unreal ether]

Now I'm no expert but I don't believe the minister of foreign affairs does that either

[proud jay]

I don't think many americans visit the city I live in

[proud jay]

you might be on to something

[fleet tangle]

There's probably a package load callback on the asset manageR?

[proud jay]

also I dno why belgian waffles are so famous

[slim atlas]

i am just kidding

[proud jay]

they're just warm waffles

[zinc wagon]

wym? begin play is executed for all actors in package games

[slim atlas]

happy easter guys.

[errant raven]

Warm fluffy waffles

No big deal

[proud jay]

now belgian beer

that's the good shit

[fleet tangle]

She didn't say actor.

[errant raven]

German is better

[proud jay]

not really

imo

[unreal ether]

The key difference for Belgian waffles over here at least is they have pearl sugar in them as opposed to just being funky shaped pancakes

[empty dune]

That's a fry

[zinc wagon]

i assumed it was actor since that's where event is 🤷‍♂️

[errant raven]

Never had Belgian so I cant compare

[empty dune]

https://tenor.com/view/chips-salt-snack-time-evening-snacks-eating-chips-gif-17724121181388042780

[fleet tangle]

It was a comparison to actors!

[zinc wagon]

english-men would disagree

[errant raven]

Only irish, german and American

[proud jay]

then wtf did you just do

[empty dune]

The largest British English speaking country disagrees with them kek

[unreal ether]

No, we call those fries

Chips are chunky

[errant raven]

Said a truth

[proud jay]

you say can't compare, right after comparing

[zinc wagon]

that makes less sense what the hell

[errant raven]

It's not a comparison if it's TRUE

[proud jay]

it's not though

[empty dune]

Thicc

[proud jay]

and it still is a comparison

[slim atlas]

praise the germans

[proud jay]

if I say the average american has worse health than the average belgian, that is both true and a comparison

[errant raven]

Let me find a legit imported belgian beer, purchase it and taste it

[proud jay]

imported could be shit though

[empty dune]

[unreal ether]

crepes are the actual panckae

[slim atlas]

how did i lie compulsively

i have a book to write.

[proud jay]

leff and stella are belgian yeah, not the greatest imo though

stella is just basic pils

[unreal ether]

side note: pancake day is the best national holiday

[errant raven]

Still most likely better than anything made in u.s

[proud jay]

possibly

I don't know american beer

except that most of it is owned by a belgian company

[slim atlas]

Yesterday i ate the glue, today i will eat the YOU

[errant raven]

Busch I think

Yeah that shit is garbage

[proud jay]

A.B. Inbev

[unreal ether]

i will admit that coors light is the only good american beer

[proud jay]

Anheuser-Busch InBev

they make most of the beer in the world in general

[zinc wagon]

nothing better than a nice cold grape soda

[errant raven]

Who makes michelob

[fleet tangle]

I do like grape flavour.

[proud jay]

they have 28% of beer market share in the entire world

[fleet tangle]

And cheap orange flavour.

[unreal ether]

graep soda is funky. my opinions on it are mixed. i like it, but i get tired of it very quickly

[errant raven]

Anhauser-Busch also makes michelob

[fleet tangle]

That really cheap shitty orange flavour that tastes nothing like orange. The stuff you get in frozen lollies/popsicles.

[proud jay]

never heard of this

[zinc wagon]

like fanta? 🤮

[unreal ether]

i also feel sorry for americans who have to call that fizzy corn syrup liquid "soda"
it just tastes awful

[fleet tangle]

😛

I guess!

[proud jay]

fanta varies a lot by country

[fleet tangle]

Flat fanta.

[errant raven]

Anheuser

Autocorrect

[unreal ether]

at least it's come a long way from it's origins

[proud jay]

I was talking about michelob that I never heard of

[zinc wagon]

yeah what's up with that! and they call proper soda "fancy soda"

[errant raven]

Oh, its god awful

Makes you wanna puke as it goes down

[unborn lotus]

like mexican cola?

[errant raven]

Makes my saliva feel coagulated and extra slimey

[unreal ether]

actual soda made with actual sugar, yeah

[proud jay]

I have this when I drink ice tea

[errant raven]

Same

Hot tea superior

With honey

[unreal ether]

i occasionally pick up the odd imported can of something because we don't have all the funky flavours that you do over there.
but there's always that high fructose corn syrup aftertaste and it's god awful.

[zinc wagon]

lmao yes. that's just our "normal" soda

[unreal ether]

it's a national british holiday where we eat lots of pancakes (read: proper ones, crepes)

[zinc wagon]

that's what is should taste like

[proud jay]

I never had a non crepe pancake

idk what you americans do to it

[unreal ether]

pancakes with lemon juice and sugar are where it's at

a godly combination

[empty dune]

hey atleast buy me a dinner first smh

[proud jay]

sorry she's out of money

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-valentines-day-friend-gif-27560092

[errant raven]

We add baking soda or powder to fluff fatten it up a bit

[slim atlas]

true

[zinc wagon]

never tried that but it does sound great. did you try the good ol chocolate or jam tho?

[proud jay]

chocolate on pancake is bae

or brown sugar

[errant raven]

Peanut butter

[fleet tangle]

Nutella.

[unreal ether]

i want an opinion from an american on whether this is normal freedom food or not.
i remember last time i travelled to america, i had breakfast at a cafe, and someone ordered a breakfast that was sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, and pancakes.
it was all on the same plate, and then they proceeded to douse the pancakes and eggs in maple syrup. Is that normal?!

[errant raven]

Yeh that's normal

[empty dune]

i once got banned from a server just for saying i have eaten pizza with honey and cream

[unreal ether]

i do, but nothing is quite the same as the lemon and sugar for me

[proud jay]

powder sugar is also good topping

[unreal ether]

good

that is absolutely an appropriate response

[fleet tangle]

McD now have pancakes with pork sauages and maple syrup on the menu.

(in the uk)

[proud jay]

how else you gonna get diabetes at age 7?

[slim atlas]

you can see a volcano erupt soon

in the city

its quite exciting

[zinc wagon]

what the fuck is wrong with you!?

[unreal ether]

yeah i tried it. it's meh.
the savory sausage with the syrup doesn't offend me as much as the idea of syrup eggs
though my go to out and about breakfast is a sausage cob from greggs

[empty dune]

admittedly a lot of things

[fleet tangle]

Not sure how that'd taste.

[errant raven]

How is that exciting. Poor city is gonna melt

[slim atlas]

😍

[zinc wagon]

holy that is the most american item i have ever read lol

[slim atlas]

I am generally excited to see this

what a spectacle

[empty dune]

ive also had oregano flavoured coca cola if that makes you feel better

[fleet tangle]

They're the round, flat kind. I forget what they're called. Lawn sausages?!

[proud jay]

I'm excited to see when you're gonna get your life together

[unreal ether]

it's certainly an odd one. the pancakes are nice, but they're too desert-y for breakfast. very sweet.
i feel like i should be eating them with some cream and fruit as the end to an evening meal

[proud jay]

whoever produced this should be reported to the authorities

[unreal ether]

now this makes it infinitely worse

[zinc wagon]

the chunky pink sausages that vaguely looks like meat?

[empty dune]

🔥

[fleet tangle]

More american pancakes or crepe-like?

[unreal ether]

american pancakes

[fleet tangle]

That's the one.

[unreal ether]

crepes for breakfast are great

[zinc wagon]

TIL cocacoal has other flavours

[unreal ether]

but american pancakes are just cake.

[errant raven]

I never thought about what they're actually called. We (my family and me) just always called them sausage

[proud jay]

normal pancakes = crepes, american pancakes = crap

[turbid spindle]

:question: would someone compane american pancakes with grape?
:8ball: Outlook good.

[fleet tangle]

The German orange flavour, mezzo mix, is a weird one.

[unreal ether]

absolutely.
they're just worse cake

[zinc wagon]

i tried them they just feel/taste like bread

[slim atlas]

Uhhh lets make crepes over fresh lava!!!!!!!!!

[unreal ether]

fun fact, it's even parts fanta and coke

[fleet tangle]

I fucking love american pancakes.

[slim atlas]

you know

[fleet tangle]

I had McD double egg, sausage and bacon muffin for breakfast today. And a latte. Winning start.

[slim atlas]

extra crispy, cooked with mother earths insides

[zinc wagon]

have you guys tried tacos? <--btw that's one item

[slim atlas]

awww mother, your crepes are amazing

[zinc wagon]

tacos is one thing not pural 😅

[errant raven]

Waffles >>> american pancakes

[unreal ether]

american pancakes are alright, but they're just cake, and a worse version of regular cake.

so they're just abominations

[fleet tangle]

They're fluffy cake-like transporters of syrup.

[unreal ether]

i make them quite frequently, but again not the texmex hard shell version

[zinc wagon]

🤤

[slim atlas]

WHY

[proud jay]

looks good

[slim atlas]

NOW I GOT HUNGWY

[proud jay]

never had them

[unreal ether]

but so is tate and lyle golden syrup loaf cake :P

That's too heavy imo. American pancakes are a good balance.

maybe im just quite sweet averse, because even american pancakes are a bit much for mee

[zinc wagon]

you should try them 100%! or make'em at home if not available

[errant raven]

[zinc wagon]

they're quite easy to make honestly

Nope. It's a biscuit! Says it right there on the biscuit.

In american terms that's a cookie

fortunately american biscuits are very different (and delicious)

sorry, that's not proper english

@unreal ether i didnt mean the mexican tacos 😅 i meant the algerian tacos

[errant raven]

Listenhereyoulittleshit

[zinc wagon]

those are bloody good

[unreal ether]

i didn't know that was even a taco option 👀

[fleet tangle]

Oh I know! They're basically, erm, things!

Dumpling-like?

[unreal ether]

oh they look delicious

[errant raven]

Just dont eat kfc, popeyes, or bojangles biscuits

[proud jay]

do you use blood to make them

[unreal ether]

sort of yeah
quite dry, flakey and buttery

[empty dune]

octopus and squid pizza tastes surprisingly decent

[fleet tangle]

Yeah.

[errant raven]

Those biscuits are dense pucks of cooked flour and water

[fleet tangle]

ten out of ten-tacle?

[proud jay]

in the end, everything is just flour

[unreal ether]

i tried octopus for the first time a few months ago

delicious

[empty dune]

im a sucker for them

[unreal ether]

what about carrots

[proud jay]

orange flour

[fleet tangle]

They're strings.

[unreal ether]

damn

[errant raven]

But not too dry

[unreal ether]

this greek restaurant local to me that happens to be the best place i've ever eaten, apart from a turkish place, does grilled octopus in olive oil and balsamic

[errant raven]

Real southern u.s biscuits use buttermilk instead of water. Huge difference between those and fast food chain biscuits

[proud jay]

I don't like any food coming out of the sea

[errant raven]

Unless its hardee's biscuits and gravy. That's decent atleast

[unreal ether]

yeah.
admittedly my only experience of them was at popeyes uk, but they must have a slightly different recipe because they were not as you describe :P
I do want to try proper buttermilk biscuits, so gonna have to find a recipe

[proud jay]

I just google american biscuit

wtf is that crap

[unreal ether]

delicious

[proud jay]

it looks like malformed baby bread

[unreal ether]

they look like they'd taste like drywall but they don't

[empty dune]

same question

[proud jay]

like if bread was pregnant and has a miscarriage, it would be an american biscuit

[fleet tangle]

Is that why they're bloody good?

[errant raven]

Should be easy to find one on youtube

[zinc wagon]

yeep and trust me they are

[zinc wagon]

no not usually

[errant raven]

Sugar grits or salted grits are amazing too

[unreal ether]

what do you typically fill them with?

[proud jay]

is this puke with sugar?

[empty dune]

may i offer all you lost souls some banana tiger in these trying times?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdkLr9hflyw&t=842s

[zinc wagon]

fries, béchamel or cheese, meat, salad

[unreal ether]

ooh

[proud jay]

drop the salad and I'll eat it

[unreal ether]

well they're getting made soon

[errant raven]

https://tenor.com/view/biscuit-yum-food-delicious-gif-8640202

How can you not like u.s biscuits

[zinc wagon]

why?? the salad add an extra crunch

[errant raven]

Grits are not puke

[proud jay]

I don't like salad

fries inside something also seems strange to me

[errant raven]

And its actually healthy for once

[zinc wagon]

or mhajab a look dish

[unreal ether]

tbf grits do look abysmal

it's just cornmeal soup

[zinc wagon]

crunchy bread with a spicy filling is chefkiss 🤤

[proud jay]

americans really do eat like they have free healthcare

[unreal ether]

i also need to make more shawarma soon.
if you've never had shawarma, make some, it's good

[empty dune]

now i want to order some

[errant raven]

Look at what southerners eat

[fleet tangle]

What exactly are grits?

[zinc wagon]

quite the opposite in algeria

[errant raven]

Porridge

[proud jay]

puke with sugar, we've been over this

[zinc wagon]

fries need to be inside every and all sandwiches or otherwise it cant be a sandwich

[unreal ether]

it's a porridge made of hominy, which is corn meal, made from corn that's been soaked in lime

not lime juice

the corrosive nasty stuff

[proud jay]

we have one dish where you put fries and meat in french bread

we call it a mitraillette

[errant raven]

Hominy is a type of corn

Its bigger kernels

[unreal ether]

wrong reply, you posted your message right as i meant to click reply to @fleet tangle :P

[fleet tangle]

Hence the "grittiness" ?

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/sonic-chilli-dogs-sonic-the-hedgehog-chilli-dog-food-gif-16200947

[proud jay]

like this for example

[unreal ether]

yeah but it's also soaked in lime

[proud jay]

mitraillete is also a machine gun

[unreal ether]

which i really don't get

[errant raven]

Lime as in the rock

Or fruit

[unreal ether]

the rock

[empty dune]

that just looks like a subway

[errant raven]

Isnt that dangerous

[fleet tangle]

It's for that zesty feel when your face melts away.

[proud jay]

why do you insult me like this

[unreal ether]

you'd think so but apparently not

[zinc wagon]

looks good except for the meat 😅

[proud jay]

why you hate frikandels

[empty dune]

https://tenor.com/view/brother-anakin-star-wars-betrayal-gif-8065377

[unreal ether]

nah that meat looks fire as well

[proud jay]

do they eat frikandels outside of benelux?

[zinc wagon]

we have a similar thing we call it "frites omelette" but it's mostly a struggle food more than anything

[unreal ether]

is that the same as german frikadellen? basically a seasoned mass of pork mince with a little beef?

[proud jay]

I guess

[unreal ether]

one of my favourite meals was frikadellen with gherkin relish

[proud jay]

you guys really do be putting fries in everything

[errant raven]

The lime solution is to make the hull of the corn softer to get to the part that they do turn into grits

Apparently

[unreal ether]

huh TIL

[empty dune]

make battleship armor out of those corns

[zinc wagon]

potatos are cheap and we only know how to fry them so 🤷‍♂️

oh and everything needs to be had with bread

[proud jay]

are they as good as belgian fries though

[errant raven]

Scalloped potatoes

[empty dune]

https://tenor.com/view/samwise-gamgee-frodo-sam-lotr-gollum-gif-15924654

[zinc wagon]

if bread is absent then that's not a meal to us

[unreal ether]

im not surprised americans use corn a lot given that the total size of american cornfields roughly comes out to the size of California

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/bromance-brother-lord-of-the-rings-hug-gif-5463873

[errant raven]

Do not post the remix song of him saying that

[proud jay]

we eat a lot of bread, but not often in warm meals

[zinc wagon]

🤷‍♂️

[unreal ether]

If you ever want a tasty Greek dish try chicken souvlaki

Very good

[errant raven]

We use corn a lot of other things outside of eating

[unreal ether]

10/10

[zinc wagon]

i would say that's the best meals to be had with bread

and also soupy meals

[empty dune]

like making battleship hull armor?

[proud jay]

most people here have just bread with topping as one of their meals

[errant raven]

Like hunting. Using it to fatten up animal's well hunt later

[proud jay]

idk if topping is the right word

[unreal ether]

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of husks get woven into natural fibers

Sort of like hessian

[errant raven]

Or as bait while hunting

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/battleship-alien-ship-aliens-battleship-movie-alien-spaceship-gif-26230263

[zinc wagon]

stuffing?

[empty dune]

could have made battleship hull armor smh

[errant raven]

Those husks get fed to the pigs

[proud jay]

that sounds strange

[errant raven]

They eat anything

[proud jay]

you don't put it inside bread, you put it between 2 slices

[soft night]

remember when there was unreal demo used mass effect husks

[empty dune]

i did not know about that

[zinc wagon]

one bread, open it while not disconnect it, put stuff in it and close

that's a meal

[empty dune]

thats a wrap

[zinc wagon]

that's the proper word for it then 😅

[unreal ether]

i also feel sorry that americans have a bacon obsession but have to deal with that as bacon :(
it's just all fat

[errant raven]

Fatback?

[empty dune]

its better than indian bacon

indian bacon is just playing russian roulette

[unreal ether]

can't say as I've ever seen indian bacon 🤔

[proud jay]

that's just french bread though

can't really do that with a loaf of bread

[empty dune]

no, its not a well looked upon food item here and so the bacon is not always sanitised properly

[errant raven]

You should try crinklings and fatback

[zinc wagon]

oh yeah we only ever have french bread 😅 not much variation

[empty dune]

its a weird cultural thing

[zinc wagon]

but tbh i tried other breads and french bread is the best imo

[unreal ether]

i just googled it an no thanks :P
i hate fatty meat.

[proud jay]

I like my own bread

french bread goes stale so quickly

[unreal ether]

i just got this fancy butter with salt crystals in it and it's so good with some fresh french bread

100000/10

[errant raven]

It's good tho

Crispy fried fat

Cracklings is just crispy pig skin

[zinc wagon]

yeah i cannot understand why people like to store bread? i either get it fresh or cook it at home

[soft night]

some unreal engine 4 it animation sharing plugin perhaps with crowd

[zinc wagon]

or when im struggling i put it in the freezer, then it doesnt become stale so quickly

[proud jay]

I make a loaf of bread and then just eat it the whole week

[unreal ether]

those are good and we have them in england

[proud jay]

but it doesn't really go stale that fast

[errant raven]

If it becomes stale you can just make croutons for your salads

[proud jay]

I don't like the mould that much

[unreal ether]

but my bacon comment was more on about this, and how little meat there is. Even UK streaky bacon (our belly bacon) has more meat than that 😢

[errant raven]

Do it before it molds

[empty dune]

praise the omnissiah!

[unborn lotus]

we have our own version, but it's just smoked on the pig

[proud jay]

but then my bread is not stale yet

[fleet tangle]

That isn't bacon. That's just fat.

[unreal ether]

once you've made proper croutons they don't mold easily

[zinc wagon]

eh i like to have my bread fresh while it's steal steaming. just like i love to have my pizza hot and not freezed

but i know some people liker their pizza frozed

[proud jay]

I like warm bread

[errant raven]

That is cheap mass produced bacon

[proud jay]

but I'm not gonna make one every day

[errant raven]

They're better off buying fatback

[zinc wagon]

good thing we make sure we never have stale bread 😄

[fleet tangle]

Microwave old bread and it becomes warm and nice.

[errant raven]

Burger kings shit bacon has more meat than that

[zinc wagon]

that's just all fat with no meat lol

[unreal ether]

once it goes hard, chop it up into chunks, and bake them in the oven until they're super crisp, with some oil and salt
store em in a tupperware or zip seal, and they last for ages.
the moisture's gone so they don't mold, you just need to eat em in a few weeks or they go soft

[errant raven]

Or eat them with olive oil and flakey salt

[proud jay]

like I said, idk if I'm a wizard, but my bread moulds before it gets hard

[empty dune]

i wonder whats happening in #food right now

[zinc wagon]

bakeries dont mind making them everyday here

[proud jay]

well, but then I have to go to the bakery

and become poor

[zinc wagon]

they're like 3cents here lmao

not even joking

[proud jay]

well, a loaf of bread here is like 3 euro 40

a long french bread like 2 euro and some

I make my loaf for the whole week for less than 1 euro

[fleet tangle]

More like 1.5 euros here for a loaf. Supermarket bread, that is, not bakery bread.

[errant raven]

Atleast yall have easily accessible bakeries

[proud jay]

supermarket bread is disgusting

[zinc wagon]

You guys are getting scammed istg

[proud jay]

istg?

[zinc wagon]

I swear to god

[errant raven]

I'd pay $10 for a loaf of fresh baked sourdough

[fleet tangle]

I don't really eat that much bread.

[proud jay]

idk how you'd sell bread for 3 cents without loss

[zinc wagon]

🤷‍♂️ it's like 15 dinars for one loaf

[empty dune]

wtf how is it that cheap

[proud jay]

I could give you 25 grams of flour for 3 cents

[zinc wagon]

Things are cheaper here generally

[fleet tangle]

Dinar is pretty cheap. But what about lunchar?

[empty dune]

this looks about right

[zinc wagon]

Right so one loaf of french bread is 0.1 euro

[proud jay]

I guess wages are a lot lower in algeria too though

[zinc wagon]

Yeah

AVG is like 60000 dinars here

[proud jay]

that's like 400 euros

[zinc wagon]

410euros per month

[proud jay]

you could probably pay about rent if you shared an apartment with someone here with that

and then of course die in the cold with no food inside your apartment

but at least you die together

[empty dune]

and knowing daddy elon colonised mars

[zinc wagon]

But things are way cheaper here

[proud jay]

well I hope so

[zinc wagon]

Rent is like 40euros per month I think

[proud jay]

and that's 410 before taxes

[zinc wagon]

Just a alsec

[errant raven]

Southerner u.s food is very budget friendly, give him a chance

[zinc wagon]

Nah after

That's your take home pay

[errant raven]

Johnny cakes, pinto beans and bologna is decent

[empty dune]

fucking hell i thought you meant AVG the antivirus

[zinc wagon]

Ok nvm I was way off it's like 120 euros

[proud jay]

I was gonna say, 10% is cheap

[errant raven]

Even the grits

[zinc wagon]

Avast is dead to me

[proud jay]

windows defender is enough

anyway, time to get some work done 👋

[empty dune]

i was wondering why you were using an antivirus price to compare purchasing power of a country

[unreal ether]

👀

[zinc wagon]

TBF that'd be interesting way to illustrate that

[zinc wagon]

Sir you got a virus on your computer

[unreal ether]

i know 😔

[zinc wagon]

Doesn't want to delete huh?

It forces you to download another app to delete the antivirus? But then that app refuses to be deleted too? Yeah I can relate

[empty dune]

are you that second app?

[unreal ether]

i just can't be arsed with it's uninstall shenanigans.
and it's not doing me active harm, and does protect me from dodgy websites

so i keep it as a manageable evil

[zinc wagon]

No....maybe...

Eh it was annoying with it's "un menance a détécté" message that pops up every two seconds

Then it started taking 100% of my CPU

Then it started crashing my system :)

Wasnt much of a manageable evil for me

[brittle holly]

I mean you could change it to English so it says threat detected 😛

[zinc wagon]

I didn't know how :(

And why would it speak in the first place 😭

[empty dune]

[unreal ether]

Cats also apparently hate the sound of you running your thumbnail across the tops of comb prongs.

I never understood why that became a trend. After it was confirmed why would you want to make your cat gag for clicks

Poor kitties

[errant raven]

My cousin had a nasty virus that nuked performance and had batshit insane uninstall shenanigans

Was designed to look like a dna match app thing

[unreal ether]

I had one hell of a virus on my laptop as a kid. It started out as simple adware, then evolved into a card skimmer and took money out my dad's bank.

All from a browser game

Took several weeks and pain to remove it.

And I'm still not sure it's entirely gone. When my laptop blew up, I salvaged the drive, which still sits on its own not plugged into anything.

There was some stuff I wanted to pull off it but it wasn't worth risking a reinfection

[errant raven]

The virus was called altruistics

https://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-altruistics-malware/

That's its uninstall steps

Was a 5600G paired with 1660 super. 16GB ram

[empty dune]

i had a virus that literally left my cpu smoking. i mean legit smoke coming out of my laptop. all because i wanted to play an old star trek game that is no longer available to play anywhere

[errant raven]

Shit crawled like a snail, after the virus was gone that shit ran faster than Usain bolt on cocaine

Didnt even think there was a virus at first, just thought the pc was using the integrated gpu instead of the 1660

Which is weird to think considering hdmi was plugged into the 1660 🤨

[empty dune]

i probably wouldnt be able to sleep at night if you did lol

[errant raven]

Protected from static electricity. Not protected from malware/virus attacks

[empty dune]

i always thought cyberpunk's quickhacks where you fry someone's brain was bullshit. but i literally have two airpods plugged into my ears right now

[errant raven]

When did gamersnexus get gray hair streaks

[empty dune]

okay dammit, im curious now. tell me

ohhh

wait

does that mean using a standardised device like iphone/mac is more dangerous?

[zinc wagon]

Didn't the m1 chips have a widely know hardware exploit lol

[zinc wagon]

I wouldn't say that it necessarily dangerous. You could use a more obscure hardware and still have the same vulnerability as the intel chip for instance

Just get the latest and don't allow foreign connections to your system and your golden

[empty dune]

yes but from what i understand from what laura said, a malicious app would be easier to deploy on something that you know has a wide userbase. so a particularly dangerous vulnerability in your android might not be economically viable to target

[errant raven]

4090 owners dont need to worry about attacks on it. The power connector will melt before the attack takes place

[zinc wagon]

Oh yeah for certain

[proud jay]

this is why people say linux is "virus-free"

cause no one uses it for normal consumer purposes

so people don't target individuals using linux

[errant raven]

Popeyes is so boldly lying about the new truffle infused chicken sandwich

Thought everyone was already aware of stuff infused with "truffles" being a lie/scam

[proud jay]

what does infused with truffle mean

they boiled some truffles and then poor the water over your sandwich?

[errant raven]

No its olive oil with a chemical that's similar to truffles

Truffle oil will never list that chemical directly, but use "truffle essence" instead

That's the brand popeyes partnered with for their new sandwich

They can use an atom of real truffles just to legally advertise it as a authentic truffle product while all the truffle flavor and smell comes from the synthetic shit

What comes after the shower is what takes the longest

Drying off, drying hair while hair straightener heats up, straighten and brush hair, put clothes on, repeat straightening and brushing, sit on toilet for 25 minutes mindlessly scrolling down YouTube shorts

Procrastinate, contemplate, exfoliate? The three stages of showering?

[lofty lark]

brush in the shower + just walk around with towel on till air dry

[errant raven]

Cant do that with brothers

[errant raven]

Why

Slow?

Backend dev trauma?

[broken sigil]

indents for scopes is my biggest issue with it
Becomes pretty unreadable

and this makes me die inside

def main():
    print("Hello World!")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

[errant raven]

I never use that

[broken sigil]

[errant raven]

I name functions things that they do or what they're for

That if name equals main shit is just nerds trying to pretend they know what they're doing and go into a 3 hour rant on why it's a superior method

It's a thing they sent out to early "supporters" of R4UE
I think someone opened it and it's a copy of Rider on it which is kinda cool 😆

Easier to make function then simply type

[broken sigil]

you mean here?

[errant raven]

Godot is the center holding everything in place, as it should be

[terse wasp]

You can clearly see both Unity and Unreal holding Godot up

Without them, it'd fall

[errant raven]

Unity is super glued to godot, that's why it isnt falling

[broken sigil]

this one ain't that bad either

I can happily say I haven't opened or edited any C# program yet with Rider, except build files obviously

[errant raven]

Godot and unreal are supporting each other and causing a spacetime anomaly

[terse wasp]

See, the thing is - if you just want to boast about your engine, you use Godot. If you want to release games, you use Unreal.

[cursive crypt]

I like JB because they kinda onto UX... And also have some smart C++ guys there.

They should really just make Rider the C/C++/C#/Whatever IDE

and malwarebytes in some imaginary world somehow got 0 lol

[unreal ether]

aha i knew i was right in not uninstalling avast

score 1 for malware

[broken sigil]

all I needed to see, ty

[river sable]

where were you when there was math?

[brittle holly]

Who rates things 3/3 stars? Seems sus

[brittle holly]

Would make more sense if it was 3/5 stars for all of those top ones, because let’s be real there’s no 4 star AV out there yet unless you work for NASA and 5 stars is just fiction

[fleet tangle]

I asked HiDive why they didn't allow you to stay logged in between sessions. They responded it was for security concerns. I replied, "So just HiDive and the NSA who don't allow persistent logins then."

You can persistently log in now.

A terrible competitor to crunchyroll.

(anime streaming website owned by Sony)

It's the worst.

the other day was the first time in a very long time I had an antivirus (windows defender) detect my program as a virus, by a machine learning algorithm apparently, apparently for doing a bunch of network communication in what it assumed as a suspicious pattern without user input lol

[timber viper]

I aint trusting a comparision where mcafee got 3 starts

I trust myself more, which is a low bar

[broken sigil]

I don't know how you are getting these magical issues, can I get some of that magic dust 🥲

true

[timber viper]

Did you know Rider is written with avalonia

[broken sigil]

[timber viper]

recently there was another bait on #cpp to trigger a fight about this

in case if you missed

i wanted to try too

its so secure

11usd, should I buy it

[brittle holly]

Norton 3 stars ? 😂

These ratings are clearly paid for

[timber viper]

Origins and odyssey was a huge disaster but Valhalla was nice I think, despite its ubisoft

[brittle holly]

I had Norton once in my life. A virus got on my drive and Norton filled my entire screen (not hyperbole) with popups saying a virus was detected.

[broken sigil]

Next on my list to play is Control, now when I realized Alan Wake and Control are connected/related lol

had it for ages but never played it

[timber viper]

Well you have to play AW1, Control, then all Control dlcs

then AW2

its all connected

[zinc wagon]

They are? Tbh never really payed attention to the story cause the atmosphere was really good

[timber viper]

I uninstalled control yesterday

had to install source build

[brittle holly]

Control was ok but the 4th wall stuff was meh

[broken sigil]

I think that only might be possible to happen to you lol

[brittle holly]

Rmbr the days when you could actually go into task manager and know what process is meant to run?

[broken sigil]

or your laptop runs on an arduino

[timber viper]

or Laura developing malware

which keeps av busy

[brittle holly]

Evil Laura - a star was born

64% 😱

[broken sigil]

slight spoiler for AW2
||you actually encounter and play along with Control agents in AW2||

[fleet tangle]

It's all those coroutines. Such malware!

[brittle holly]

I could see Co_await making your windows stall

[zinc wagon]

Just wait a little more until it takes 100% of your CPU like it does to me when I build any solution lol. Then you'll feel ultra secure

[brittle holly]

Co_await(eternity) and you’ve got yourself a malware

Set process priority to realtime 😀 (outdated ik)

[zinc wagon]

Huh I really should try AW2 out

[river sable]

[brittle holly]

Aren’t you working remote ?

[river sable]

valve released a half life doc 🙂

[zinc wagon]

Is it still the "flash light the enemy and shoot" gameplay loop?

[brittle holly]

We don’t need a fricken documentary, we need episode 3 lol

[river sable]

why not both

[brittle holly]

Because at this rate we’ll have 6 documentaries before it comes out

[river sable]

be patient child

[broken sigil]

it's amazing, story 10/10
Atmosphere 10/10

I wanted a good horror game for a while and AW2 delivered

[brittle holly]

Ah yeah? Tell them about the alt+tab

Go ahead

[river sable]

that being said I can't wait either 😄

the doc is really nice though

[broken sigil]

ay yeah the 50% chance of crashing when alt tabbing 😆

[zinc wagon]

Please tell me it's not the same "it's in le head" plot line lol

[broken sigil]

nope, nope
It's amazing, I don't want to spoil anything but the story is amazing

[brittle holly]

Sounds like a normal work environment 😀

[zinc wagon]

Alright that's great to hear! I felt that was an anti climactic end to the first game

Like all that stuff you went though "was all in your head lmao"

I depend on the apples of the ground

[zinc wagon]

Yippee what a clever concept 🙂

[broken sigil]

it does play in extremely well, you'll have to play it to see 😅

[brittle holly]

Just realized this might seem meaningless without context: https://youtu.be/AH4yRRTgcE8?si=HHGQ0N5NOpHYIUag

[zinc wagon]

Yep I'll make sure to give a go!

[zinc wagon]

SNL warning!
You will not laugh

Unless it those two guys who write jokes for eachother

That's hilarious

[brittle holly]

Yeah true

I was merely referencing the “boyoyoing”

[brittle holly]

Lol, YouTube changed their skip button text to just say “video plays soon”, I guess this way they can make the ad as long as they want

[clear dust]

whats an ad

[timber viper]

since it will ban ublock at 2024, eventually

[clear dust]

last time adblock was blocked, it blocked the blocking of itself. I have faith that it will continue its big brain plays

[river sable]

my next hobby project will be setting up this thing: https://pi-hole.net

just to make sure

[median wraith]

@sand oxide https://www.instagram.com/reel/CzfhpezoHqS/
Feel like had to send you this after watch it 😌

[lofty lark]

"Meowthew McConaughey" got me 😂

[celest musk]

to make sure that most websites won't work anymore because they detect that you block their ads?

[slim atlas]

is your pihole ok?

Fortnite has/had the most users

Warzone if you're into cheaters

[lofty lark]

Naraka Bladepoint. any other answer is wrong.

[timber viper]

@lofty lark I didnt (couldnt) progress much but still loving evangelion

[lofty lark]

They even make an update when they roll out a ban wave. A whole news page and everything. The public shaming is
https://www.narakathegame.com/news/banned/20230906/37179_1108379.html

[timber viper]

30 people caused ban of around 2k people by reporting

nice

[lofty lark]

How much progress have you made? You were on Ep.5. I think last time

[timber viper]

Asuka introduced

She is more annoying than I imagined

[lofty lark]

I have no recollection of what stage of the show she's introduced in.

Pretty early on still yeah?
