@Tinkeringbell It is currently snowing. Sweater like things are important!

Tinkeringbell

It's not snowing here (yet). But yeah, I know :D

user271002

Here, it's getting warmer again. Most snow will probably be gone soon.

fbueckert

Canada prairies like to hit -40. It makes for fun times.

Tinkeringbell

That's not parrot weather. Thanks, but no thanks.

fbueckert

Free healthcare...

Tinkeringbell

8:30 PM

@fbueckert Heh. I'm Dutch, but the company I'm working for has headquarters in Canada. One of the benefits I enjoy is getting an additional fee onto my paycheck to pay for health insurance :P

fbueckert

@Tinkeringbell Yeeeeep. I hear that.

πάντα ῥεῖ

@Tinkeringbell I fully trust you'e a god mod

Tinkeringbell

@πάνταῥεῖ You're overdoing the complimenting again :P

fbueckert

We get most things, but the primary perk for most companies here is benefits above and beyond what's covered by the government.

πάντα ῥεῖ

@Tinkeringbell Well, for ladies it needs twice at least ;)

Tinkeringbell

8:32 PM

@πάνταῥεῖ I'm not a lady. I may be female, but definitely not a lady ;) Now, if you'd let me finish my talk with fbueckert? :)

@fbueckert Let's see. I get healthcare, there's a lot of company programs that stimulate things like healthy living and such... Yup, you're right!

The only thing that isn't so great at this company is the lease-cars. But I'm travelling by train, first-class ;)

πάντα ῥεῖ

@Tinkeringbell Well, let me have that kinda satirical concern here. I am not pushing you into a drawer in 1st place.

Tinkeringbell

@πάνταῥεῖ You can, but there's a time and place for stuff... and having to fend off random compliments when I'm kinda in the middle of talking with someone else does annoy me. I'm sorry if my reaction showed that a little too much.

πάντα ῥεῖ

Gender concerns are off-topic all over, no matter what!

Chocolate letters

Shadow Wizard

Chocolate parrot... Not weird like the one I found before! ;)

Tinkeringbell

Though that's a cockatiel again :P

Shadow Wizard

Lol saw it but 1) not a parrot, and 2) might appear to be cruel. :o

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard I think it's a gif that quite clearly shows the bird hopping in the chocolate fountain on itself, but I'll delete it just in case ;)

Shadow Wizard

(like that frozen parrot I posted in olden times ;))

EKons

8:45 PM

@Tinkeringbell noooo

Shadow Wizard

@Tinkeringbell nah it wasn't a gif

EKons

you could've just replaced it with a link and a "warning"...

Shadow Wizard

@EKons just Google for chocolate parrot... One of the first results. :D

I found a good one but it had.... Something. Lol

Tinkeringbell

It was on a stick. Like parrots should be

And back to discussing something else! :P

Shadow Wizard

But even Derpy fell in this once, posted something found in Google without noticing its NSFW potential. So I am in good company. :P

@Tinkeringbell look again

I can add FHRC in Den if you won't see it... Lol

Tinkeringbell

8:50 PM

Nah, I know exactly where to look ;)

Shadow Wizard

Ohhhh

fbueckert

Chocolate parrots just make me think of those chocolate easter bunnies you can buy.

Mmm. Solid milk chocolate bunnies.

Tinkeringbell

'solid milk'? What kind of chocolate bunnies do they have over there? Ours are always hollow :(

Shadow Wizard

Just bunny shaped Kinder egg. :)

(without the surprise)

rene

@ShadowWizard wings?

fbueckert

8:52 PM

@Tinkeringbell Milk chocolate. Love the stuff.

I remember freezing them, and then having to gnaw off slivers of chocolate.

Shadow Wizard

@rene nope. Something not helping one to fly. ;)

EKons

chocolate bunnies are always hollow lol

Shadow Wizard

Yup

I love chocolate hippo

fbueckert

Maybe where you're from.

rene

@ShadowWizard blue feet?

Shadow Wizard

8:53 PM

It has cream inside

@rene closer... But still no cigar!

EKons

note: this white layer of "milk" doesn't count as a filling, period

e.g. in Kinder Surprise eggs

Mithrandir

No cigars?! But.... where's my chocolate?!

Tinkeringbell

I prefer cholate letters or bars to bunnies or santa clauses!

fbueckert

These guys are pretty good.

EKons

...ouch

it took me more than a second to realize that the middle isn't the bunny's face...

Tinkeringbell

8:56 PM

Almost 500 grams!?

fbueckert

Got one like that every easter.

Shadow Wizard

EKons

@fbueckert wait... that's seriously 454g?!

Shadow Wizard

@fbueckert wow... How much it cost?? ;)

1 bunny 2000 calories

fbueckert

$3.48 per at Walmart.

Bit pricey as far as milk chocolate goes, but for the most part, not bad.

EKons

8:58 PM

out of stock... ;-(

Shadow Wizard

Bah here it would probably cost triple than that. ;(

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard That's like a whole days worth of calories!

Kevin B

that's great, you can just drink that and not worry about eating the rest of the day

Shadow Wizard

@Tinkeringbell yup

fbueckert

@Tinkeringbell You try surviving in -40. We burn calories in shivering!

Kevin B

8:59 PM

so efficient

Shadow Wizard

lol

EKons

@KevinB um... usually, you don't drink filling...

Kevin B

eat, drink, meh

Shadow Wizard

Melted bunny

Kevin B

consume

Mithrandir

9:00 PM

Gaaaaah. Computer died during video editing... just as I was about to finish....

Shadow Wizard

So how you type now?

Mithrandir

different computer

fbueckert

Now, the really good ones are the Lindt easter bunnies. Smaller, but it's Lindt. mmmmmmm.

Shadow Wizard

Oh. Still no 🐁? @Mithrandir

Tinkeringbell

@fbueckert I saw my first Lindt last week! Apparently there's one in Utrecht

Mithrandir

9:01 PM

not on this one - on the other one there is

Shadow Wizard

Oh

Tinkeringbell

And okay. with -40 you're allowed an extra snack

Mithrandir

There! Video complete. Now to find music.

Shadow Wizard

@fbueckert 100g Lindt chocolate bar cost here $5

fbueckert

@Tinkeringbell They're so good! Silly expensive, but gooooooood.

EKons

9:02 PM

@ShadowWizard ooooooouch

fbueckert

@ShadowWizard I still remember when regular size chocolate bars were 2/$1. >< I see them at $1.30 now, and I'm so cheap.

...So I buy them by the case to realize some cost savings.

And then I have chocolate to last me for a bit.

Shadow Wizard

@fbueckert well I buy non premium bitter chocolate, $3 for package of 3 100g bars. Cheap, tasty, but not Lindt. ;(

Think the brand name is Chokata?

fbueckert

@ShadowWizard Can't say I'm familiar with those.

Shadow Wizard

Probably local import only.

EKons

@ShadowWizard Chokito?

fbueckert

9:05 PM

My favorites are Nestle Crunch.

Shadow Wizard

EKons

ah, pretty unknown brand :P

my favorite brand is a Greek one

Shadow Wizard

Cheapest I can find. ;)

EKons

ION Chocofreta (well... it's written ΙΟΝ Σοκοφρέτα in Greek)

Shadow Wizard

@EKons I bought some when in Rhodes!

status-washing-dishes

Tinkeringbell

9:10 PM

Now let's see how many Dutch people that summons.

EKons

...weird hollow shape :P

Mithrandir

Okay, random music that was the right length found and hopefully added. Editor crashing, currently exporting.

Tinkeringbell

imgur.com/gallery/7HrRF6X seems oddly relevant today ;)

Mithrandir

9:43 PM

There! Video finished.

Now to put it on YouTube and write my entry...

Shadow Wizard

9:54 PM

You surely spend LOTS of time on this...

Mithrandir

....time got messed up in this video, due to the clock falling off the wall

And it looks kinda silly ;)

A: Time for some more swag!

I hung up my clock on the wall. However, the clock then suffered a tragic malfunction, causing odd things to happen to time... To fix this, I set out to build a replacement clock... or at least the shape of one. However, due to the odd time... things ended up a little strange. Here, it's probabl...

Probably would have turned out better if I had accepted @Art's offer to edit... :P

EKons

@Mithrandir you lacked a second H cube, eh? :P +1

Mithrandir

indeed

had to hack things together

EKons

also... you can embed a YouTube video in a post

btw, if you had put another purple strip, it would've looked like an uppercase H ;-)

rene

Don't think that is enabled on MSE?

EKons

@EKons well, sorta

Mithrandir

10:31 PM

It didn't onebox during the preview, so I assumed that wasn't enabled here - it previews on e.g. SFF

EKons

hm, looks like it

weird

like it's explicitly disabled...

Mithrandir

it has to be turned on per-site

EKons

TIL
