Is it time for Random Thoughts - Part 4?

Only humans would deliberately make eating painful.

What, aren't microwave microwaves extremely localised?

Check the date on the blog.

Only if you know what the staff mean by "hot"

There are plenty of Indian dishes that aren't "hot" at all. But the chef might be from a region where "mild" means "90% ghost peppers and 10% meat", compared with "hot" meaning "99% ghost peppers and 1% meat".

I experienced this first hand -_- chettinad mutton khumbuzu and chicken bhariyani

Just getting over another bad cough/cold. Second one this season (which is unusual for me). I also just made a mistake of converting time in one time zone to another*

*(but that's not particularly unusual. Our representation of time, in terms of time zones, daylight savings time, and whatnot, has always been confusing to me).

It never fails to amaze me what the human body can survive - if you're lucky enough to miss a major artery.
Note: Just an X-Ray but might not be for the squeamish.

That's going to leave a mark.

For the highbeams, I usually adjust my side mirrors so that they point directly back at the offender. If they're just clueless, that usually wakes them up. If they're rude, then they get bothered by high beams in their face and pass. Either way, it works.

I once managed to convince a rude driver to rear end the car he was following. He was only doing 10 mph, so I'm sure no one was physically injured. It took all my will power, sitting next to him at the red light, not to burst out laughing.

Oh dear. It appears I've already shared this story.

And after going through that thread, I'm surprised that "driving styles" isn't a banned topic.

The friction i get from my mouse cable is driving me insane.

I had one stupid woman tailgate me in stop and go traffic, she was literally inches from my rear bumper for over half an hour, I was driving a stick shift, and was having to make sure that I instantly applied gas to move forward without rolling back even a couple of inches each time traffic moved, I got so fed up after the hundredth time, that when traffic started to move forward again, I just let off my clutch and allowed my car to roll back a few inches so that our cars bumped, that's how close she was staying to me. She got the message and backed off.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Perhaps I should change my avatar to the right part of that image?

I just found out that in some parts of the world milk is sold in bags.
How exactly does that work?

But why? Why would you ever put beverages in a bag?

 

[wukunlin]

When I lived in Taiwan we used to (not sure if we still do) buy hot soup from stalls and we carry them in very thin transparent plastic bags.

For cold beverages, it's not that unusual is it? I thought this is a popular thing

Those aren't exactly bags.
The soup thing sounds dangerous, I would be so paranoid of sharp corners on things.

Have you read the wiki page?

I like the idea of milk bags although I've never seen them in the uk. The plastic bottles we get always leak if you lay them down, are prone to breaking and take up far too much room in my recycling bin.

Yeah, nothing as reliable as a half millimeter thick plastic sheet.

True but once you get them home you can decant them to a reusable jug. The environmental implications have sold the idea to me.

The thick white plastic bottles I get are indestructible. For recycle I loosen the cap, step on the bottle to whoosh out the air, then tighten the cap again.

On the other hand some water bottles are so thin that they are hard to open. By that I mean that if I squeeze the middle of the bottle to open the cap I get a bath when the cap loosens.. Put the bottom of the thin bottles in the palm of your hand and open the cap carefully.

This information is for professionals only, do not try this at home.

Do the milk bags ever come with goldfish in them??

[sarcasm] Hey you know what's more fun than having two surgeries a week apart? Being on antibiotics for two weeks straight leading to a serious case of the runs! [/sarcasm]

I am now stocked up on yogurt and buttermilk. Just need to find some miso and figure out how to make stuff with it.

At least my boss is cool with all the time off I have taken. I get to do some paperwork for Grad school, play on PF for a bit and, best of all, catch up on the new Cosmos episodes.

In other news, I'm not overly impressed with the educator.com courses. They are likely useful as an adjunct to a college course but on their own they are like a pre-recorded tutoring session (atleast the stats and ODE courses, haven't looked into the others).

Phew...Done.

I personally prefer milk bags...

I read a very disturbing yet relatable quote today
"A thing worth having is a thing worth cheating for"

I say, nope.

 

[collinsmark]

I agree with lisab.

One's word, honor, credibility, self respect -- these are things worth having.

I equate cheating, with laziness, which, IMHO, should to be squashed, like a bug.

I am in agreement with dlgoff.

Oh how noble and good you all look on paper...

I agree with whatever at the time works best for me. Sometimes we all cheat and you can all go to hell if you tell me you haven't.

 

[Borek]

But are they worth cheating for?
