You are about to take a test where you do not even know what a passing grade is? What fresh hell is that? Do they at least tell you what your score was?
Professional exams. The Society of Actuaries uses them to control the supply of labor, to help keep wages high. I basically have to do better than 60% of the test takers. They give out grades on a scale of 1 to 10. Six or higher passes.
So it's basically a merit-based union (i.e., a guild).

Here's to hoping that the rest of the people who take this round of tests are dunces. Or, at least 40% of them. ;)

now makes sense.

It's rough. I'm on the third exam, so by now, I'm competing with the top 20-30% -- of 90th percentile math students.
I wish I hadn't thought of that.

I've only had one job this calendar year.
Last year I had 3 contracts.

Well, there is a lesser of two evils scenario.
On the bright side...it is not too far from Belgium to Amsterdam in case you have a hankering for hookers and weed?

hankering for hookers and weed?
like neither of those are available here ... not that I would know anything about that kind of thing.

Of course not. You are a perfectly respectable person and stuff. You only come here to the dregs of the internet to see how the other half lives. It is like a social experiment for you.

If he eats like that very much, a trip to the doctor is an eventuality.

Maybe he's on that Atkinson diet or something like that?

Macaroni and cheese with bacon?
Yes, baked (al forno) but it sounds fancier in Italian. :)

Atkins and pasta are not a good fit...

Pffffbt, baked or not, Italian or not...I am still onboard.

Macaroni + cheese + bacon is going to be pretty damned hard to mess up. Even if you murder the pasta, you can still pick out bits of cheesy bacony goodness.

<!-- Emoji'd by MobileEmoji 0.2.0-->
the beer is a consequence of people living in belgium too much time.

oh this is true, but when done right..... oh when it is done right.
ambrosia of the gods right there!

Not much of a recipe on my side:
Prepare boxed mac & cheese according to directions, but omit the milk from the sauce. Add a couple of ounces of extra cheese of whatever sort you like (I had Parmesan and extra-sharp cheddar on hand). Stir in crumbled cooked bacon. Spread in baking dish. Top with bread crumbs and herbs (I think I used oregano and garlic powder, but I don't remember for certain). Bake for a while (15 min @ 350 F seemed about right).
-
hmm.... mine is way more work than that.... :-P i'll have to take yours for a test drive comparison!
-
Mine could have used more bacon. I had two strips already cooked in the refrigerator, so that's what I used. More would be better.
My dog approved of my recipe. Crumbling bread crumbs and grating Parmesan resulted in crumbs of both on the floor.

The updates no longer fail to install.
Because the thing doesn't boot.

I usually make my pasta bolognese. Minced meat or canned ham, onions, leek, bell pepper, zucchini, various herbs, tomato puree. Apply standard stir-frying recipe.
