Random Rants ΠΑ: That's a paddlin'

[Syno]

Sounds like you had a great time.

There's a battle raging down the street.

Stay safe man!

Rant: the company that manufactured my bike doesn't make my wheel anymore which means I'll have to get a non-matching one from a repair shop. That's fine but it took them over a week to get back to me. It's a real first world rant but bike rides are really important to me right now and one of the activities I can do that get me out of the house. I've been riding the rental bikes at my building and will have to continue doing that for a while longer but I can't stress enough how uncomfortable they are.

Small rant: I was waiting for an email from somebody. I got a notification. It turned out to be a spam email that'd slipped past the filter.

Was it gmail? It did the same when a professor sent me a mail saying that lecture is canceled.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Yes. Except it wasn't the email I was waiting for ending up in spam. It was a spam email ending up in my inbox while I was waiting for another one to show up.

Because this is a civilized country, nobody had actual guns, but protestors behind barricades were throwing rocks at the police who shot foam and rubber bullets back.

Got chores to do .... be back later, maybe

Rant: My mother flooded the kitchen by leaving the tap running. I thought I was supposed to be the forgetful one.

Isn't that what mothers are for ?
Admittedly mine hasn't reached that level of annoyance yet but shes working on it.

The hinge on my Nintendo 3DS finally snapped off entirely.

First world problems:

A three pound bag of potatoes is two bucks. A five pound bag is three bucks. A ten pound bag is four bucks. I needed a couple potatoes. So now I have to figure out how to use ten pounds of potatoes before they go bad.

Potato soup is fantastic.

You could:

Eat them
Give them to your neighbors
Donate them to a food bank
Give them out for Halloween treats
Carve them
Learn to juggle them
Mail them to Mary, who could undoubtedly figure out what to do with them

How about a potato-eating feast?

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Learn to juggle them

I already know how...but when you are done juggling them you still have them.

Eating them is certainly the plan, I just don't make a lot of really potato intensive things and with only two of us ten pounds will go a long way. @Synsensa you helped a lot with the potato soup reminder. I do have a good potato soup recipe around here somewhere.

I, uh, was digging around that site I posted earlier and

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.04

Title: Elephant Stew
Categories: Meat
Yield: 3800 servings

1 Elephant
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
2 Rabbits

Cut elephant into small bite size pieces, this should take about 2
months. Add enough brown gravy to cover, about half a train tank car.
Cook over kerosene heat for about 4 weeks at 450 degrees. This
recipe should serve 3,800 people. If more are expected, add 2 extra
rabbits, do so only if necessary as most people do not like hare in
their stew.

MMMMM

In a shocking display of what-could-go-wrong wisdom, I negotiated three books with the assumption that maybe only one of them would agree. Thus, I cited immediate availability for all three.

You can see where I'm going with this.

We shall find out if the evolution of this situation belongs in the raves thread soon.

"Immediate availability" is a claim that is always subject to change, and anyone being negotiated with can be held responsible for knowing that. Here's hoping you get three lined up and are too busy making the big money to waste time on us. But just for a while, as we would miss you.
