Aw, I remember coworkers had gotten corn and onion pizzas as a treat the first time I visited my remote office in Taipei (from Pizza Hut). I believe there were also shrimp pizzas, I felt very special 😊

But yes, alas it seems rare here in the US!

Yeah, my blood pressure meds are pressed tablets that start dissolving right away and are extremely bitter. Not antibiotics bitter (thank god!), but still extremely unpleasant.

All joking aside, I would like to point out that the main dish at Waffle House is hash browns. I just don’t want folks to be confused about such an important thing!

More accurately, “prior” is much less ambiguous than “last” and thus more likely to satisfy the predilections of a pedant.

Gosh I love the depth of pedantry available to descriptivists!

I’ve been obsessed with it!! The cooking is amazing and I love the philosophical bits that are woven through everything.

Are you worried the cooking focus might take a back seat as the current storyline proceeds?

This feels like a Ryan Gosling reskin of a 3Blue1Brown video 😅 (which I guess really isn’t even a little surprising… But it’s a chance spread the good word of Mr. Sanderson!)

Mustard makes many things great ☺️ But I might also try this mayo and cheese combination you speak of, thank you stranger!

Don’t forget the mustard! Do you cut your slices in half of just cut out a sliver (to prevent bowing/cupping)? And are you one of those folks that add cheese??

Agreed, it’s definitely coming from the top! I didn’t realize they had closed a ton of the other offices during the pandemic, but I suppose it’s not surprising either. It also seemed like a lot of remote hiring happened during the pandemic?

Most of the people I know personally affected are in that category (remotely hired or relocated), and most of those people are women. Small sample size with lots of bias, but I’ve been pretty upset the whole situation. It definitely feels/looks like a way to quietly push a bunch of folks out… whether overtly or as a “bonus” for upper management, it has the same unfortunate effect.

I guess it is what it is, but what it is ain’t good. It feels good to commiserate though, thank you stranger!

Hm, this does explain why Dory is so successful… just keep swimming!

But what about the consequences of avoiding the consequences??

I’m a bit surprised you thought of SMBus and not I2C! Although lord knows I’ve seen enough garbled and missing battery traffic from bad connectors, so who am I to say…

You are reminding me that I used to keep a copy of Nesticle (for DOS!) on an AOL floppy, along with a couple of ROMs. I saved the fancy Imation Disney disks for my data 😅

Thank you for the flashback!
