    Where I work if people do this they aren't allowed any further into the building than reception.

    Mostly because passes get deactivated for maternity/paternity leave and security aren't going to issue a temporary pass for an infant.

    WoW works just fine that way.

    The game already runs as poor as I'm willing to tolerate.

    Which is?

    Until you've done 25mans at 7fps you don't know anything.

    It's running at 'good' settings and I get between 30-80 FPS when there are hardly any people on the screen. I expect it will perform very poorly during a group activity. At that point I'd just log in on my desktop which gets like 100+ FPS on Ultra settings.

    It's from a study comparing eating disorders to transfolk in Germany/Austria/some other place.

    Ate some of the Raclette, it was very pleasant. Had some of the New Moon last night, not bad. I think I'll use the rest of it in some sort of melted fashion.

    Time for the Pecorino Romano.

    Is it like Parmigiano Reggiano in that it goes well with olive oil or should I just eat it plain? I've got Turkish apricots to go with it as well.

    Edit - Oooh, this apricots are goooooood.

    It is similar to Parmigiano Reggiano. So similar I tend to swap them in any recipes depending what's cheaper at the time.

    In cheese-related news I feel I should tell you that we got some nettle yarg last week, and also wild garlic yarg.

    Yeah, I figured they were somewhat similar in this case, since it's a cow's milk Pecorino and not a sheep's. Outside of the initial flavor of milkiness I can't tell the difference between the two. Makes me want to try the sheep's version even more, though.

    Also, I am so envious of your Yarg. My closest monger has been looking but apparently real Cornish Yarg is hella hard to import for some reason.

    This warms my heart.

    There was a whole big thing about moving most of our mail onto DX instead of the Royal Mail, one of the advantages touted was that all incoming mail was x-rayed before arrival.

    Then the security people insisted that it all had to go through our own x-ray machine anyway in case the DX guy slipped something into one of the bags between their distribution centre and the office.

    Probably. Ultimately we have the scanner anyway because we still get a ton of stuff by normal post, and the DX stuff arrives way earlier, so all that it really achieves is that we're paying a couple of mailroom people to come in a bit earlier in the day.
