Basically, Rimmer is a smeghead. That's all you need to know ;)

Macaroni + cheese + bacon is going to be pretty damned hard to mess up
I have messed up mac & cheese a few times. Forgot I was halving the recipe is one I've done a couple times. One time I forgot the cheese.(It's not a common occurrence, but I have done it. :-))

I have done that one to several recipes myself. Likewise for doubling them.

I sometimes accidentally poop in my soup pots while making chicken noodle.

Remind me to not eat at your house.

my Crock Pot is cooking my dinner for tonight.
Status: Beef stew turned out ok, but definitely wasn't done cooking when I got home. Turned it up to high for a couple of hours (and adjusted the seasoning, which was lacking); much better.
Divided into single-serving containers — 3 in the refrigerator for lunches this/next week, and a couple in the freezer for future use. Oh, and the pot actually washed, which is amazing for me.

Status: doing light bulb changing. Turns out I may need to rewire my 1927 chandelier. It looks like two of the sockets are defunct. (I might have thrown away perfectly good bulbs, too. Oh well.) Either that or the Edison base springs are too flat for these new CFLs and I could just bend them back into place with a plastic knife maybe. The joys of living in a "historic" house.
Also I learned that CFLs that have been burned-out for weeks can still be about 190 degrees when you decide to finally stop being lazy and replace them. I learned this the hard way.
EDIT: oh wait, false alarm. This chandelier has a dial on the bottom where you can turn the bulbs on in certain patterns, and it got flipped accidentally somehow. The sockets are perfectly fine.
However that means I almost certainly threw away good bulbs, but I'm too lazy to get my stepladder out to save a few bucks.

That's pretty nifty...I have never seen that before.

Status: wiped the fuck out. The Vienna Boys Choir was at my parents house yesterday. I did breakfast, lunch, and dinner for 40 people. 120 sit-down meals in less than 8 hours. Yes, I know this isn't the cooking thread. so I'll stop now. Jesus effing Christopher. I am goddam tired.
But those kids loved it. These tiny little white Austrian 10-13-year-olds eating BBQ for the first time in their lives. It was absolutely priceless. And they sang for us. It was amazing. What an honor.

This and similar things appear incredibly often in our code base :
if (dr.HeaderCell.Tag.GetType() == typeof(User) || dr.HeaderCell.Tag.GetType().BaseType == typeof(User)) { if (((AbsenceUser)dr.HeaderCell.Tag).ID == usr.ID) { // Stuff happens } }
Guess what:
public class AbsenceUser : User
-
Isn't the if pretty much a no-op here?
if (dgTimeLine[c, r.Index].Tag != null) { dgTimeLine[c, r.Index].Tag = null; }
-
C#, yes? Then why isn't the check
dr.HeaderCell.Tag is User
Having said that, the code snippet should really be
var user = dr.HeaderCell.Tag as AbsenceUser; if (user != null && user.ID == usr.ID) { // Stuff happens }
-
Yeah.
The one who wrote that doesn't work here anymore.
-

It either is, or it really ought to be. The “ought to be” applies if you've got a property with some sort of evil getter that needs to be run before the setter can work. Which would be awful and a thing that would need fixing. And the culprit hunted down by a pack of rabid capybaras.

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.
That's not how you make bolognese sauce. It might be delicious, but it's not bolognese. Exchange bell pepper, leek and zucchini for some carrots and celery.

Status: Going to meet the new crew I'm working with for a second time today, but at their place. Going to be doing (hopefully) cool stuff with data processing and synthetic biochemistry…

Status: So one of a thousand functions inside my ball of twine code is swallowing a callback... sometimes. 10 call stacks later, things start breaking.
Time for a node.js scavenger hunt. Yay.
Sigh.

You might also be looking for the place where something is missing. That's when high-power techniques like CS Formal Methods start to become useful.

Actually, turns out I forgot to call
done()
after committing transactions at the bottomest part of my db code. Off to the next crisis.

I assume it's the 1927 approximation of a dimmer switch.

ah yes. familliar i am with that. still trying to find the source of one of those bugs in my @sockbot code,
Good news is: it only seems to happen when we have server cooties
bad news (for the debugging) we don't get server cooties as often as we used to.

Yes mistress Sultanatrix of Swypos; @RaceProUK's queen, I shall appear as summoned.

I vary the veggies. I'm not fond of carrots or celery, so I'm not likely to put them in.

Status: I just tried to make tea... without putting any actual tea in the boiling water. It's going to be a long day.

Status: I really should lose this habit of pressing Ctrl-S in LibreOffice every time I make a trivial change. Especially since the file I’m editing is on a slow NFS server and doing so makes LibreOffice freeze for 5 seconds.

Just for reference, this is pretty close to the traditional recipe (although the choice of herbs is a bit odd, I would use thyme instead of oregano and basil):

Since when have ponies been posted any time in this thread?

the traditional recipe
Fresh Beef Mince
AKA ground beef
a good lug of olive oil
Glass of red wine (optional)
Add your remaining herbs, tomato puree, stock cube, chilli [sic] and if using, the wine.
I am mildly disappointed. I was expecting the glass of wine to be used by the cook while
leav[ing] it blipping away for about an hour and 15 minutes

So did I Hanzo you or something?

No...
You asked about MLP, I had recently saw the strangest MLP photo, I posted it to satisfy whomever changed the title of the thread. It was not me though. I am guessing either a hedgehog or a fox.
Or...perhaps @blakeyrat. He strikes me a a bronie.

I am sure there are many more even stranger MLP photos.

that is a line i'm not going to cross.
good luck with it

Neither am I.

Perhaps on DeviantArt, but someone taking the time to make a MLP sex doll is pretty strange for IRL photos...

QFT
also as i recall from when i first ran across that inflatable it is also fully.... ummm.... functional....
so not only is it really weird but pretty damn creepy to boot
also, yeah that was my title edit

That is no recipe for marital bliss.
It's fine; we're allowed different interests ;)
