Following instructions like a pro

The instructions that are being read are implying longer cook times if the chicken breasts are considered large. The joke is that the character realizes she has large breasts herself, and bases cook time on her own breasts rather than the chicken she's actually cooking

give an angry rant

So if this is of interest to anyone here, I strongly recommend getting the Snake Oil card game. The basic premise is you have one player (the potential buyer) pick a profession card, then the other players choose from two word cards in their hands, and have 60 seconds to sell it to the potential buyer. Potential buyer chooses winner, and a new player becomes the potential buyer.

For added twist, I like to have a questions phase where the sellers get to attack each others' products. Truly a blast, especially if there's a bit of drinking going on

What is the one most astonishingly dumb things that, as a child, you believed was absolute truth?

Because radio stations' DJs would say "and here's artist with song name", I firmly believed that one of two things must be true:

Radio stations had the bands always playing live for them

And/or

Radio stations would present a local DJ, but they would then tune in to the artist playing the track live for a larger station

What's even funnier about this is that my dad has at the time taught me how to use a tape deck to record radio and CDs to tape. So I clearly understood recording mediums. Just, the idea still lingered in my mind for a while.

Unity deleted these terms, don't let them get out

Reply in thread

I've seen the "Microsoft should just buy Unity" argument a lot lately. And while I think it's probably a better management than current, I imagine Microsoft is hesitant having only just come out of a, what, 6 month long legal battle in US and EU courts regarding acquisition of ActiBliz? So a good idea, but one I can imagine might not happen...

don't. blink

Heheheh... My DM tried to run this on the party, forgetting the Druid's tremor sense meant she was never "not looking"

He was so livid. Even better was this is his wife playing said druid!

What if employers could gauge the ‘moods’ of workers? A dangerous new tech gains ground in India

The thing is though, I don't see how someone like this could even work out.

Like, you hire employee 1, they get frustrated at something overnight. You fire them for being upset. Now you have to fill the seat. Employee 2 is brought on. They get told what happened to the person they replaced. They leave or are fired for having emotion and being human. This repeats ad nauseum.
