Discourse Metabooty

No tea.
I was replying from my own POV. The fact that your religion imposes this commandment on you does not prevent me from drinking and enjoying tea. I have no desire to discuss this further, as those with other beliefs will make similar statements about moral restrictions imposed by my religion, and that conversation has taken place in too many topics here already.
-
Or you could just stop drinking tea?
-
Um, no.
-
Well, I'm going to stop drinking tea, until at least I am inconvenienced in the slightest by it... Black tea, for sure. Ew.
-
I am inconvenienced by the lack of tea.

Ok. I can respect that.

True.

What about dark chocolate?
I was not aware that the caffeine content was that high. If true, that would make it an excellent source, indeed. However, 30g is more than I generally eat at one time; 10g is probably more typical, which provides somewhat less caffeine than a cup of tea.
Also, I question their numbers. A "chocolate bar" provides 20mg / 30g, and milk chocolate only 6mg, but chocolate bars are most commonly made of milk chocolate, often with non-chocolate ingredients that might reasonably be expected to further reduce the concentration of caffeine. Perhaps "chocolate bar" is an average of a variety of bars made from milk and dark chocolates, but in that case the range should be much broader, from the lowest (or near-lowest) milk chocolate to the highest dark chocolate. Or perhaps "milk chocolate" and "chocolate bar" are swapped, with the non-chocolate ingredients accounting for the lower content of what should be labeled "chocolate bar." In any case, these numbers seem dubious, which causes me to question the veracity of their other numbers.

Apparently they mean it when they say 4-7 day delivery to here, regardless of how hard that is to pull off!
Despite my package arriving in the nearest major city, less than 30 miles away, at 1pm today.... it will still be 3 more days before the expected delivery date. It doesn't help that it was just 20 miles away at 5am this morning when it arrived at the UPS Mail Innovations facility, and then they had to move it to the USPS facility which is 10 miles in the opposite direction from here.
I fully expect it will next have to make a full day trip back through the city where it has already been before it can finally go out on the delivery truck Thursday.

Just had this happen, too. Box was at local UPS in time to make the delivery truck..., but went to local post office and then to my house two days later. Sigh.
One place I order from, they just drop it in UPS, and before I can even check on it, it's out for delivery and I get my stuff in less than a day. Once there systems choked on a hairball, and when they finally got my package out - they expressed it via USPS and it took three days - nicely done.
Space and time are not linear, I guess ;)

goodness! this coffee mug is almost as big as I am!

The metabooty arrives...

I hadn't wandered into this topic for a few days. When I did just now, I find this has been sitting here for 3 discodays, but nobody has responded with the really, really obvious Dr. Who response.
@ijij said:Space and time are not linear, I guess
Well, somebody's got to say it:
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.
-
I love how it's precariously balanced on the edge of the shelf!
"This mug goes to 110".

but nobody has responded with the really, really obvious Dr. Who response.
If it's really obvious, why would they want to be the one who types it and is known as the lazy fucker who makes really fucking obvious shit jo--
Well, somebody's got to say it:
Sigh.

"This mug goes to 110"
Pedantically, I must point out that it goes higher than that. It goes past 130, and the needle is currently indicating about 121.

11 forumpointzzz to the first who gets why I posted that number.

@blakeyrat doesn't make jokes. @blakeyrat only states facts.

Which makes it especially precious that he's complaining about lack of humor in others.

@blakeyrat works in mysterious ways.
-
You can be unfunny but still want to have fun.
-
He probably mutes the places where most of the funny happens.
He certainly posts a lot of unfunny web comics.

That was roughly 63.956% funnier than most of the stuff he posts.

Well, there's a 14 year old 22" CRT monitor behind it. There is no more space to push that thing back, it's up against the wall.
I really need to trash it because I have a 24" lcd as my main screen... but.. but... that 22" does 2048x1536 resolution and looks freaking awesome for graphics as a secondary monitor. :(
Of all the things to notice in that pic though.... I would have thought the baby crocodile skull in the cove beneath the monitor would have been a lot more interesting. Or maybe the pointy end of the foot long rusted iron spike beside the mug (doubles as clue bat?)
-
Preeeeeetty sure that says 130. I may be old, but my eyes aren't thaaaaaaaat bad yet.

Just the most discourse-d thing to notice - perched between usefull-ness and total collapese ;)

Pendants everywhere....
You need to listen to more Dr. J reading Washington Irving, then you will gain wisdom.
I put the over/under for likes on this p
aost at....3.5!

True enough. Even worse that at the time I was in the middle of playing Heroes of the Storm, so I left it perched there for half an hour before taking that picture and moving it somewhere a little less likely to result in shattered glass all over my floor.

I found Nagesh's main account everyone!

Only roughly?

i wondered what that was......
-
I don't recall insulting you. I'm sorry for whatever I did.
-
FWIW, as a disinterested bystander, I couldn't see what was so offensive either...
-
-
anyway - thanks for the awesome mug @codingwhorror!

-
Woooo! It finally arrived (intact this time)!

I never want to sit at your breakfast table ... you're scary ...
-
good thing he's on our side then. no?

He looks like the kind of guy who'd grow his hair long and put it in a man-bun.

I'm... I'm not sure what I expected to find...
