    Two random ladies just showed up at my school and handed me a drink called yakult, which some googling reveals is a pro biotic fermented milk drink that contains bacterium Lactobacillus casei.

    Whiiiiich means nothing to me.

    It's yogurt.

    It is drinkable, so slightly different, but same basic idea then?

    Gogurt

    Apparently it contains a special strain of the bacterium, named Shirota, named after the dude that made it or whatever.

    It did not taste very good.

    it is just normal yogurt quizzy

    No it is a specific brand with specific flavoring and other things added. And also the only product to contain that particular strain.

    every yogurt brand does that bs

    Okay.

    And I did not enjoy this one.

    I do not understand the point of this conversation at all.

    Well, you dont bring a water bottle to a meeting!

    I don't know, the whole picture says to me "we offer zero amenities" and maybe it's just me, but every place Ive ever worked that skimped on coffee also penny pinched on benefits/pay

    I feel like you are reading too much into the beverages but not enough into the rest.

    I see too many laptops at that meeting, and the beverages and phone chargers mean that shit has been going on forever. Work doesn't actually get done at meetings, so more than the drink situation, it screams to me "we waste the time of 8+ employees for hours and hours at a time while nothing gets accomplished"

    also: byod

    there are only two reasons an organization will go byod:

    1) they think it will save them money on IT, which means they're both cheap and deluded
    2) they have a bunch of employees who are special sensitive snowflakes who must use their own personal computers for work or they feed

    neither of those bodes well

    I only did when I was working in the restaurant kitchen. And that was more like everyone was drinking.

    Only once did I ever get rip roaring drunk though.

    My schedule at work means I am often in the office until 8pm or later. There are frequently company events that run 5:30 to 6:30 where free booze is served in the office. I've definitely grabbed 3 bottles of beer and carried them back to my desk before to finish off the day right.

    Curse.com is beta testing a vent-like tool for league of legends that includes timers for some vital respawns and abilities, apparently spoken in the channel for you.

    Interesting

    1) Does Riot approve? They're not exactly keen on helper programs.

    2) Curse's track record with security is very poor. I'm not sure that I would trust any executable downloaded from Curse.

    according to the Riot forums it appears to be acceptable... I'm goign to try and get into the beta and see what it's like.

    These baked chips are really stretching the definition of "baked". They were topped with cheddar cheese before they were baked, so all the oil ran out and effectively fried them in the oven.

    Oh god I need to get out of this living arrangement.

    It's nice enough out that we can finally open the windows! Yay!

    I'm in the basement, boo!

    It rained today, yay!

    It's extremely humid today, boo!

    A nice draft is going through upstairs, yay!

    It gets incredibly hot in the basement due to stale air, boo!

    And there are about 4-5 PCs down here, including my PC which is a massive heat generator due to its age, super boo!

    So basically it's humid, stale air, and superheated down here...

    Whee. :(

    The achewood cookbook (which is surprisingly good) has a great tip for making nachos: put the bare chips in the oven for a minute prior to adding cheese or other toppings. This toasts the chips a bit so they remain crispy even when covered in cheese or refried beans.
