@JohnDvorak 🚽?

John Dvorak

no, I mean, the mouth is already functional. It's not used to pass any nutrients, but the tongue can begin training.

curious

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 I don't know the exact techniques but it was drawing from an existing database of recipes, feedback and I think the chemistry behind the flavors. At least it was obvious that it would suggest alternatives like peach/apricot but some alternatives were less common knowledge

No need for chat slowmode with kids ':-)

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@JohnDvorak heh

@curious hmm? What do you mean?

@M.A.R. mean mean what do you mean?

@JohnDvorak by the end, yeah

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 I meant my replies are so spaced out because the kids were stilll home

@curious ohh ok, lol :D

Whoa four new ~~lurkers~~ people who arrived and keeping silent! :P

curious

@JohnDvorak you added an extra 0, it's .015%... not THAT bad :^)

John Dvorak

@curious just wait a couple of years :P

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@g3rv4 need a coffee? ;)

M.A.R.

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 stares intently at @Sha

Sneaks in some downvotes on old posts

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@curious usually adding a zero makes no difference, but that's an exception... ;)

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 just had mine... I wouldn't mind a 🧉 though

@g3rv4 still not sure what is it? ^^

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 No such command 'mate'.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

:(

g3rv4

:sigh: alright, preparing mine then

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

You make your own?? That's nice. ;)

Just don't give to the daughter.... :D

Both my daughters are fine not having coffee yet, but son keeps nudging and wants to taste.

John Dvorak

12:52 PM

@M.A.R. good thing they can't monopolize other sources of stress. You wouldn't believe how well a stubbed toe can keep you awake.

Rob

@JohnDvorak Yes, if you want one drink then you don't want to order the other - you think it would go without saying but some people don't understand alcohol or a drinks - beer and box wine is what they were brought up on.

caird coinheringaahing

By "brought up", what age range are we talking here? :P

Rob

Tomatoe or Worcester sauce are hardly the most disgusting things ever put in a drink.

g3rv4

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 kids taste it for the first time when they're about 6 yo and hate it

Rob

How about a humantoe or rotting worm?

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

12:55 PM

@JohnDvorak stubbed toe? How did you manage that?

caird coinheringaahing

@Rob If you're talking about the tequila with a worm in it, pretty sure it doesn't rot

John Dvorak

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 easy: the door you always keep closed at night because it's a safety hazard - your roommate doesn't

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@g3rv4 heh, not in my case, wife is very strict about it. :D

@JohnDvorak door with sharp bottom? Can see how you get a bump, but stubbed?

g3rv4

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 :) I think I'd give my daughter a sip of my espresso and she'll hate it... we did that with coke when she was 1.5 yo and worked like a charm... she's 2.5 now and is still convinced she doesn't like it (although... I'm sure it's going to change soon)

John Dvorak

stub

Noun: stub (plural stubs)

Something blunted, stunted, or cut short, such as stubble or a stump.
And prickly stubs instead of trees are found.
A piece of certain paper items, designed to be torn off and kept for record or identification purposes.
check stub, ticket stub, payment stub
(computing) A placeholder procedure that has the signature of the planned procedure but does not yet implement the intended behavior.

(4 more not shown…)

stubbed, not stabbed

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

12:58 PM

@g3rv4 hehe, totally. Well make sure to give her espresso with no sugar. ;)

@JohnDvorak ohhhh. lol

John Dvorak

Stabbing your toe on accident is, indeed, rare

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

Too similar for my poor mind. :P

Well that indeed hurt like hell, but should go away pretty quickly, no? @John

Rob

@cairdcoinheringaahing Read Tyler's review (last one): mezcalreviews.com/mezcal/monte-alban-mezcal-con-gusano

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@John so you have a roommate? That's interesting, for some reason assumed you have a family. Assumptions aren't my strong side. :P

caird coinheringaahing

@Rob Mezcal worm. That's not the only mezcal that has a worm in it, typically they're cured with pure alcohol and don't rot. From the other reviews, I'm guessing that's just a VLQ mezcal that doesn't bother :/

John Dvorak

1:03 PM

I meant roommate in generic.

Rob

@cairdcoinheringaahing and you didn't take issue with the Sourtoe Cocktail: dawsoncity.ca/sourtoe-cocktail-club

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@JohnDvorak as in "person who lives with me in same house"? ;)

John Dvorak

yes

anyone else having intermittent issues with the blog? meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/410452/… we don't want to miss a WC opportunity for @KevinB ...

@Rob I've never heard of that :P

caird coinheringaahing

I have heard a whole bunch of misconceptions around the mezcal worm tho, to the point where it bugs me :P

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@cairdcoinheringaahing yeah Rob has habit of introducing new things to people. ;)

@Rob eeeeewl

Can I purchase 4 or 5 instead? :P

I am very glad they added the (by donation) :P

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

1:06 PM

@rene fine for me, probably location related

Rob

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 Like "standard practice" and canonical definitions.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@Rob if someone swallow the toe by mistake, do they ask them to give their toe instead?

(that's not written)

caird coinheringaahing

How do you swallow a toe by mistake?

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@cairdcoinheringaahing instinct

Might lead to choking, in which case guess the heirs get a pass.

caird coinheringaahing

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 Remind me to keep my toes away from you :P

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

1:09 PM

@cairdcoinheringaahing :-D

Rob

and they film your ...

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

nibbles at @caird's toe

@Rob who? What? Why?

aka WWW

Rob

In your case the film is saran wrap, as it's gas impermeable.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@g3rv4 OK, looks like people using that emoji in their display name. It's common enough. :P

Change of subject! Is this a smile?

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 Doing a search: It's CIA Sassy Cat: wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/cms/page_11629155.html arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/03/…

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

2:25 PM

@Rob nice find

Mast

A cat on wikileaks? The internet never ceases to amaze.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@Mast well even people who leak, are still human and share random things. :D

Rob

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 The exact meaning of sassy is fairly wide open, and subject to context and gender: npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2014/08/31/344039582/…

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

Thought it's just short for suspicious.

Mast

Impudent.

Shameless.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

2:30 PM

@Rob so, Kenny works with the CIA? Or with Wikileaks? /cc @rene

rene

Kenny is the CIA

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

oh

This explains the pee and poo.

And the rudeness when telling him to wipe.

Rob

I don't think suspicious applies, under any circumstances; suspicious that you thought that.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@Rob beep

Mast

That's sus, not sassy.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

2:33 PM

oh

I might have also mixed it with sissy somehow, though it's totally unrelated. I need a coffee.

:P

!!/cat coffee

SmokeDetector

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 No such command 'cat'.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

:(

Rob

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 That's assy, not sassy; the sound his ass makes - Eeyore

Mast

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 A sissy is something completely different. Sissy is disparaging.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@Rob sound? Does it make any sounds except for farts? pondering

@Mast I know :/

Well coffee was good, now I should be fine. ;)

caird coinheringaahing

2:43 PM

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 Did you just down it? That was a very fast coffee :P

Mast

Some people drink coffee like it's ouzo.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

@cairdcoinheringaahing sure, shot of coffee. :P

caird coinheringaahing

I know what you mean, but for some reason I'm picturing an alcoholic style "shot" rather than an espresso :P

Take a shot of coffee with a milk chaser instead of an actual latte :P

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask V2

3:06 PM

@cairdcoinheringaahing maybe easier to imagine it when it comes in such a cup?

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 Apparently there are coffee printers,so that image isn't fake:

drinkripples.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/…

Mast

It's basically a less-sophisticated 3D printer stuck on a coffee machine.

Of-course someone made that...

Rob

@ShadowWizardWearingMaskV2 You are no Mr. Methane!

Journeyman Geek

Technically it's a 2 d printer?

Only you are moving the head x and y like a plotter

Kevin B

🚽

Mast

@JourneymanGeek 2D is less than 3D, right?

Perhaps more appropriate would be to call it a deposition modelling plotter.

shrug

Rob

4:22 PM

@JourneymanGeek Their "technology" page is here: drinkripples.com/technology - there are other brands which print 3D.

Mast

People have too much money...

Rob

5:25 PM

The machine pays for itself in ~4 months if you sell only 20 per day for one dollar extra. 20×1×4×30 = 2400 --- 20 per day is ~10% of your daily sales: quora.com/… startmycoffeeshop.com/… --- Always good to offer links supporting your ideas, shows research.

Rosie

7:13 PM

There are cafes in NYC that have that machine that prints a photo from your cell onto your latte. I haven't tried them because I agree with @mast people have too much money, but I am so amused by the concept

@GWarner This might interest you:

An easy way to import is with an online tool: tableconvert.com - It imports: Excel URL HTML Markdown CSV JSON LaTeX SQL MediaWiki - Just [Import], click on the generated table, click on Import button that appears, now in the lower window choose your options, and copy, then paste into SE's editor. --- Complicated tables in less than a minute. --- There is more than one online site, but that one works well. --- If you want to test a bunch and add them to your Feedback, as a workaround, BMG. — Rob Jul 25 at 4:00
