Hm, Stuart McLean, an iconic Canadian radio journalist and storyteller, died today
He was so Canadian. One of his most riotous episodes involved him releasing a single live cricket in the studio while on air, and him and his producer giggling helplessly for most of the show.

Adjust recipe for serving sizes, although they will last for a week at least if kept chilled and covered so if you feel like just making enough to open one whenever you can.
Wait until the chocolate completely chills and sets before pouring the caramel on top of it, otherwise it will sink to the bottom of the chocolate. Also I recommend getting the widest mouthed containers, because it's easier to garnish. For example, with whipped cream, and crushed hazelnuts.
I'm not even going to lie this is on the dessert menu right now, we sell out of it every night, and it is most likely getting evrrrrrybody laid.
Thank you
I am pretty sure I'm getting laid anyway but maybe I will get double-laid
If there is a key to getting double-laid, it is through the powers of dark chocolate and salted caramel.
Like for real, I have watched what was obviously a first date the dude is bombing through, dessert hits the table, home girl is now only too eager to get this budinski home with her.
It has the powers to turn bad dates good, and good dates great.
I thought it was by going "hey I found someone else let's have a threesome"
Has porn lied to me
Not if that porn involved this dessert.
Also I am totally playing off the fact that I didn't know what you meant at the time.
Also, get it girl.
Oh I am just trying to back-interpret whatever the hell "double-laid" means, because it's such a ridiculous phrase :P
I didn't actually have meaning for it and am not really interested in a threesome or anything, even though I'm like 80% sure I could have one if I wanted.
Not... not really my thing, monogamy is working out great.
Anyone with $500 USD should be 100% sure they could have a threesome.
I mean shiv that's science.
I'm super cheap though
Sure, I'm just saying don't say 80%
You have the power, you just wield it with respect.
The chance of me intentionally doing something that'd hurt her that much requires really advanced mathematics to describe the infinitesimality of.
- Only one vid-card HDMI port, which means that the monitor and the TV are not plugged in at the same time (she has to physically change which one is plugged in)
- TV's native res is 1360x768
- Games no longer crash (think that was a Big Picture Mode issue), but simply go to a black screen when attempted to run. Games tested include: Dishonored 2, Borderlands 2, Dishonored, Dragon's Dogma
- Games in black screen are running, and if she switches it back to the monitor after turning them on they're running normally on the monitor
- Vid card driver is up to date
- Applications that are not games, such as Chrome, seem to work normally on the TV. Suggests probable video card issue?

my wife bought a HDMI cable specifically to run it from her PC to her TV so she could play video games on her TV and chill that way, especially for when the new Mass Effect comes out
do the whole Steam Big Picture thing
aaaaaand every time she tries to run any game, it crashes
she can't figure out why, and is getting super frustrated with the internet's dumb advice
anyone got any thoughts on this
crashes of what severity - hangs machine? blue screen? app crashes to desktop?
I would suspect some video card and driver funkiness first - connect the normal monitor to the computer via HDMI and see what happens?
When she runs a game, any game, that game crashes and throws an error message. The PC itself doesn't hardlock or nothin'.
some samples of the error messages would be good
totally different games ideally, not just the same engine
is this a multi display setup - ie is the original monitor still connected
check that the cable really is going to the GPU, not the integrated HDMI out (if there is one)
Okay, so, updated
It's not longer crashing (since she's not running it in Big Picture mode anymore)
Instead, it's just a black screen when she tries to run any game. If she switches the display back to the monitor (physically switching which one is plugged in) the game is running, it's just not displaying on her TV for reasons unknown.
This happens with a variety of different games.
Her TV's native resolution is 1360x768.
She has updated her drivers.
That is a strange resolution for a TV.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

Not really. It's an extension of XGA that was done to keep costs low.
Interesting... when I open the display settings on the TV when the PC is hooked up to it, it says the res is 1360 x 768, like that's what it is auto-detecting
The manufacturer's specs say it's 1366 x 768, which might be what's goofing things?

prompt: an adventuring party gets transformed into a bunch of kobolds and are tasked with defending a kobold village by a pissed of kobold sorcerer though i guess you could substitute goblins or orcs or whatever
yes this is a post that written by me, a kobold's kobold, why
The more I think about it, the more the stories that could come from this prompt be super weird and awkward and hokey in the worst way possible and condescending in a really bad way. But I also think that it could be done well if the adventuring party was characterized really well and as genuine assholes (though redeemable assholes) and having both genuine infighting and genuine conflict with kobold (or whatever) culture as a whole.

So,
is how a lot of my posts start.
It is with tomatoes and mirepoix. Although they call it osso frito or something like that in Italian, but I give like two fucks 'cause whatevs.
And the final addition before putting it in to braise also answers the question, "I wonder what an entire gallon of white wine looks like?"
it does, but we don't have cables of that type of the length possible to reach her PC to test that hypothesis
well,
And,
I say it way too much.
Fucking score.
hmm.
from the earlier post (ie original hdmi monitor works fine, TV freaks out) I would very much suspect that dvi/VGA will close the problem
if not - ok we need to dive into display settings. Intel? AMD? nvidia?
- Only one vid-card HDMI port, which means that the monitor and the TV are not plugged in at the same time (she has to physically change which one is plugged in)
- TV's native res is 1360x768
- Games no longer crash (think that was a Big Picture Mode issue), but simply go to a black screen when attempted to run. Games tested include: Dishonored 2, Borderlands 2, Dishonored, Dragon's Dogma
- Games in black screen are running, and if she switches it back to the monitor after turning them on they're running normally on the monitor
- Vid card driver is up to date
- Applications that are not games, such as Chrome, seem to work normally on the TV. Suggests probable video card issue?
HDMI encoding is probably borking it.
That is a strange resolution for a TV.

do you though
I mean basically just, though
older tv. That's actually p common
video card is nvidia GeForce GTX 970
TV is Sony Bravia KDL32R420B

I cant get avatars straight between you and P10 and Drez.
If it's you, I have a copy for you
if it's encryption you are probably stuck pending a longer cable. maaaaaybe your TV has a firmware update. I wouldn't bet on it.
if it's being too fancy for its own good, manually adjusting the settings would work
My friend works here so I decided to check it out tonight at close to 12PM because of course that makes sense on a Wednesday.
I've got a sony we got back in 2010 and it ALWAYS has that fucking problem. It's a known issue.
Not really. It's an extension of XGA that was done to keep costs low.

Is there some kind of sinus infection thing going around
erryone seems ot be gettin sick

Y'know what that's okay, I'll stick with this.
