@Fluttershy So what you should have said was you disliked icing, not cake.

Coronus

@Wipqozn Do you really hate bacon?

@Coronus Yes.

Bacon is terrible.

@Wipqozn Since icing is on most cake I ever have put before me, saying I hate cake was the easiest option for me.

12:26 AM

It's okay in a sandwich, to add crunch, but by itself it is terrible.

@RavenDreamer I hope I inspire you to eat better pizza.

@LessPop_MoreFizz You mostly inspire people to be sad about the pizza they can't have.

@Wipqozn And you called me a monster for not liking cake...

Not everyone lives in pizza Mecca.

@IanPugsley Did Sam tell you she wanted an aardvark?

12:28 AM

@IanPugsley You're alive! Did you get the steam key I messaged you?

@Fluttershy I did when you were offline - thanks, btw!

user15026

@Fluttershy Now I want to mail you awesome cake. Without frosting. Wonder if mailing you cake is feasible.

@RavenDreamer She did not.

@IanPugsley I sent her a picture of tree-climbing goats and told her they were called aardvarks.

@IanPugsley No problem. I couldn't even remember what it was for. Just wanted to make sure whatever it was was received.

12:28 AM

I was hoping this would result in her pestering you to buy an aardvark.

@AshleyNunn I honestly don't know...

@RavenDreamer Haha, that's just mean

user15026

@Fluttershy It mostly depends on cost of mailing and time travelling. Like mailing a cupcake to Singapore? Not viable. To you? maybe moreso.

@IanPugsley You can elevate your pizza game without needing to come to NYC. It's as simple as throwing out the papa johns menu and finding someplace local that cares about what they cook.

@AshleyNunn :(

user15026

12:30 AM

@YiJiang'sEvilClone It would die before it got to you! :(

@LessPop_MoreFizz I did that, and the best I get are a chain that does NY-style pizza and Wolfman pizza.

@IanPugsley Still beats Papa Johns!

@LessPop_MoreFizz Sure, but then you pizza-brag and it gets me again...pizza lust, for that which I cannot have.

@IanPugsley Clearly the solution is to come North.

12:35 AM

Hey! Who removed my star from YiJiang's sadness!?

@LessPop_MoreFizz This makes me think of the Ducks from King of Dragon Pass.

@Wipqozn Have you met that fucking duck yet?

@LessPop_MoreFizz No sir.

AWWW! I found the PERFECT gift for @OrigamiRobot

I haven't had any duck events yet.

12:37 AM

Also, those dick ducks laughed at me for proposing an alliance. those dicks.

I HATE YOU

Hi, @OrigamiRobot. How's things?

@OrigamiRobot but look at his little sloth face :3 bawwwww

@Wipqozn Yeah, they do that.

12:37 AM

AWFUL

@OrigamiRobot And capitalized, apparently.

user15026

@Fluttershy If cake lasts 4 days in the mail, then it would cost me.....20.69 to mail you a cake in a jar. Roughly.

user15026

Mailing stuff is expensive.

@AshleyNunn A cake... in a jar...?

I WANT TO INVENT A NEW KEYBOARD WITH AN ALWAYS CAPS KEY

12:38 AM

@Wipqozn FYI, for reference, this is that fucking duck:

YOU CAN NEVER TURN CAPS OFF ONCE YOU PRESS IT

user15026

@Fluttershy Easiest way to mail a cake and have it get there in good shape is to bake it in a mason jar and mail it

@AshleyNunn I see... <_< Would that be worth the trouble and cost, though?

@LessPop_MoreFizz He looks a tad... deranged.

@OrigamiRobot Should the Caps Lock key be under one of those little glass boxes, like a self destruct button?

@Wipqozn Well yeah.

user15026

12:39 AM

Often done with cupcakes (this is me sending you 3 cupcakes, I think. With my random math skills, taking into account jar and cake weight)

@BenBrocka @fbueckert: What are your Nintendo Network IDs? Need to rebuild my friends list. (Mine is Wipqozn113)

user15026

Depends how much you want cake!

@LessPop_MoreFizz No, there will be a caps lock too. This is an additional button

user15026

@OrigamiRobot How can you not like sloths

@OrigamiRobot Okay, should the additional button be under one of those little glass boxes?

12:40 AM

Mar 4 at 13:13, by OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote No because they look like demon pig monkeys and move like something from a nightmare.

@LessPop_MoreFizz You need two keys to open it

@Wipqozn How/Where do I find that?

@OrigamiRobot And a voice authorization code after it's pressed, right?

Coronus

@OrigamiRobot The button will be labelled CAPS LOCK ON.

@fbueckert Gamepad > home menu button > friend list

@Coronus No, it will be labeled ALWAYS CAPS

@LessPop_MoreFizz And a parent's permission

@AshleyNunn basically it tries random code on Stack Overflow until it works

user15026

@YiJiang'sEvilClone nope, but from playing with the stacksort thing it has something to do with putting things into some sort of aribtrary order

Dextromethorphan

Dextromethorphan (DXM or DM) is an antitussive (cough suppressant) drug.

Dextromethorphan has also found other uses in medicine, ranging from pain relief to psychological applications. It is sold in syrup, tablet, spray, and lozenge forms. In its pure form, dextromethorphan occurs as a white powder. DXM is also used recreationally. When exceeding label-specified maximum dosages, ...

@Fluttershy I want to know if any other countries ban the sale of raw milk

like from someone who would actually know first hand as opposed to Google

Raw milk

Raw milk is milk that has not been pasteurized or homogenized. Humans may consume it because they are unable or unwilling to treat it. Health food proponents tout the benefits of raw milk and the ills of pasteurization and homogenization. The medical community warns of the dangers of not pasteurizing milk. Preferences vary from region to region. History Humans consumed raw milk exclusively prior to the industrial revolution and the invention of the pasteurization process in 1864. During the industrial revolution large populations congregated into urban areas detached from the agricultural...

@AshleyNunn hrm ok. I was wondering if it was another case of the US being stupid

@spugsley It's legal in 28 states.

user15026

@spugsley Nah Canada is stupid too because raw milk is aweosme

@Fluttershy right. But I've been reading a bunch of stuff that says pasteurization is likely for profit because of the beta-lactose it creates can actually make you MORE HUNGRY

which would make food companies happy

@AshleyNunn how so? I've never had it

user15026

1:40 AM

@spugsley It is creamier and awesomer than real milk. Have you had homo milk?

@spugsley So you're reading conspiracy theories and buying into them? <_< Or potentially buying into truth and not listening to conspiracy theories?

@Fluttershy both? I'm looking into both sides. I'm really upset with the US food industry lately and I've been trying to make dietary changes that are conducive to good overall health

►

@AshleyNunn I don't think so...

user15026

@spugsley It's 3% milk - it is the closest you can generally get. Take the taste and awesome of that, multiplied by awesome

1:41 AM

@spugsley If you're honestly concerned about raw milk v. pasteurized milk, I'd recommend switching to soy. Some soy milks are flippin' delicious!

@Fluttershy yes they are good but women can't have too much soy milk because it messes with their reproductive health

@AshleyNunn right now we drink 1% pasteurized and it's basically water

@spugsley I can see that being a problem. And now I feel bad for my lactose intolerant friend. =( What about almond milk?

Sterno

user15026

@Fluttershy Hazelnut milk is pretty awesome

@AshleyNunn yeah but if it's pasteurized, the fat content isn't anything more than just fat. No health benefits :(

user15026

@spugsley I know :( I wish I could send my raw milk to you. Look for someone doing a cow share? That's how my boyfriend got the milk he shared with me

@AshleyNunn yeah I'm going to start looking around. I'd like to at least try it.

user15026

@spugsley I highly recommend it

1:45 AM

@spugsley Come to Missouri. We'll find you some raw milk so you can try it. It's perfectly legal to sell it here.

user15026

@Fluttershy moves to Missouri

We're talking about milk?

Cow milk is best.

And I mean straight from the cow.

@BenBrocka I think so too, which I added earlier.

user15026

OMG YES, @fbueckert

user15026

This is a true thing of truth

1:51 AM

@AshleyNunn I grew up in the country.

We got a 4 gallon pail of milk every week.

Straight from the farmer.

user15026

@fbueckert I never grew up drinking it (grew up in a small town, but raw milk was never a thing) - but I have made up for it since

No pasteurization, no homoganization, no nothing.

It is the awesomeness.

Especially if you mix the heavy cream into it.

@AshleyNunn Sadly, there's no real shopping channel like that.

You have to go out and kill all the monsters yourself.

@spugsley Pasteurization is to prevent potential contamination.

@OrigamiRobot Exactly. Along with potentially good bacteria, there could be some pretty nasty varieties like staph and E. coli.

The answer on this question proves that it's a recommendation question.

There's no right answer, beyond what the asker can determine.

@MBraedley I would drink raw milk if it was my cow or I personally knew the owner of said cow.

Milk is super easy to contaminate.

2:20 AM

@OrigamiRobot The problem typically isn't the cow, it's everything that the milk comes in contact with.

So yeah, straight from the cow is probably fine.

@MBraedley That's what I meant. I would need to be able to personally confirm the process

I bet raw milk taste delicious.

@fbueckert The title on that question proves to me that it's a recommendation question
