The Bridge

Deliver web page to client. It's a search page for some of their data, with many different custom-made filters. A year later client wants to know if they can "trade some out" for new filters, at no cost, because hey, same number of filters!

fredley

@Sterno Just buy another box of 20

Explain to them that although you can give them new ones at no cost, you'll need to clean out the old ones at a cost.

Sterno

Good idea.

This is the same client who had a huge list of features they wanted and cut it in half after we priced them out, with the idea they'd do the rest with the next year's budget. Then after delivery, they came back saying the software "did not work" because it was missing features that make it actually useful. Namely, many of those that were cut because they didn't want to pay for them this time around.

@Chippies I find crawfish to be the pomegranates of the seafood world: too much work for comparatively little gain/taste.

Origami Robot

@Yuki Are they as delicious as Pomegranates?

Chippies

@Yuki They're like tiny lobsters. I don't find pomegranated to be too bad tho, you just stuff your mouth full, suck the flavour out of it and spit the junk out.

but that's the lazy way to eat pomegranates...

Yuki

@OrigamiRobot They taste good, but not worth the effort in my opinion.

Origami Robot

@Yuki There is a super easy way to deseed them.

Yuki

@Chippies Yeah, but you lose like half the juice that way, I think.

badp

3:59 PM

@BenBrocka You've always been one of the biggest typists in here

Chippies

@Yuki Idk about half, but you do lose some. Your juice per second ratio goes up a lot though

Q: Is it possible to roll AS for Cain's insight?

Cain's insight, when reviewed with Myriam, it shows as a possible roll only one of the trifecta stats, critical chance. In the game guide it says that it can roll: +5 Random Magic Properties So, could we have in this helmet AS and CC?

the seeds are inside those thingamajigs

I know what they look like.

Chippies

and the juice is around them

Origami Robot

What is the problem?

Chippies

4:04 PM

Idk about other people, but getting those has never been difficult for me, the problem is that there's a seed in each tiny juicy thing

user58869

►

Origami Robot

@Chippies Why is that a problem? Just eat it.

Chippies

@OrigamiRobot because they taste like crap if you chew them and if you don't then you don't get the juice. Or you can suck off the juice and then you're left with a lump of seeds in your mouth that are lame

Yuki

@OrigamiRobot Because, like most fruit seeds, they are bitter as hell.

Bitter and really chalky.

Origami Robot

I don't know what kind of pomegranates you guys get.

Chippies

4:06 PM

probably ones that aren't full of artificial seed sweeteners? lol

Origami Robot

I'm not saying they're sweet.

They don't taste like anything.

They're just crunchy

Chippies

I haven't had a pomegranate in a long time, but last I remember, they weren't fun to chew

Origami Robot

You guys are babies about fruits.

"Peach skin is too fuzzy"

"Kiwi skin is too hairy"

user15026

Peach skin and kiwi skin make me gag.

Chippies

@OrigamiRobot I don't like peach skin, because it rubs against my teeth and it feels like rubbing them against cloth

Ben Brocka

4:09 PM

you're not supposed to eat kiwi skin

Chippies

the first bite makes me cringe

Origami Robot

@BenBrocka Says who?

Chippies

but I eat watermelons with the seeds and I prefer grapes with seeds

@Chippies No. Seeds are ick.

It's not bitter and it makes eating the kiwi easier.

@OrigamiRobot chop the kiwi in half and eat it with a spoon

user15026

@Chippies Yes, this is the way to eat kiwi

Origami Robot

@Chippies So unnecessary.

Chippies

4:11 PM

or if you wanna be fancy - peel it

user58869

we invented fridays

Chippies

you're diluting the flavour with the skin

Origami Robot

Bite off the ends and just eat it

@Chippies Nope.

user58869

last friday night

Chippies

and if you prefer to eat it with the skin, you can rub the hair off with a knife

Origami Robot

@Chippies So unnecessary.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot Ew. No.

Chippies

@OrigamiRobot cooking meals is unnecessary as well, but people still do it.

user58869

Origami Robot

@Chippies And?

Chippies

@OrigamiRobot just because it's "unnecessary" doesn't mean you shouldn't do it

if you think eating kiwi with the skin is best for you, then all the power to you

Origami Robot

4:15 PM

Why should I do it?

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot doesn't cool meals, he just grabs things out of the fridge blindly and bites until they're gone

Chippies

I think that spending the extra few seconds cutting it in half or peeling is worth the extra joy I get out of it

Origami Robot

Kiwi skin is delicious.

Chippies

I'm sorry, I'm not a robot, I find that difficult to relate to.

Origami Robot

And less messy.

Chippies

4:17 PM

I'm a very very clean eater, so it's not messy for me either way

Origami Robot

@Chippies Whether or not you're a clean eater, it's still less messy.

Chippies

@OrigamiRobot messy or not, if I don't make a mess, I don't consider it messy for me

fredley

TNTorpedo

Chippies

I know people who will make a mess with non-messy food and vice versa

Origami Robot

I didn't say it was messy.

Chippies

4:18 PM

and I don't like kiwi hair

Origami Robot

That just goes back to what I said earlier about you guys being babies about fruits :P

Chippies

@OrigamiRobot I also like my meat cooked and meals prepared nicely. I think it's called "preference" :P

Yuki

@Chippies Also known as "I'm not a friggin' caveman".

user58869

alright

Chippies

I could argue that not taking the extra effort to prepare your fruit the way you like it is more baby like

Sterno

4:20 PM

Origami Robot

Nah, it's confirmed. Fruit baby.

Chippies

babies eat everything the way they find it

user58869

they dont mess around

Coronus

I'm fine with being a fruit baby if it means I don't have to put kiwi hair in my mouth.

user58869

thats all

Origami Robot

4:21 PM

See? At least @Coronus accepts it. I can respect that.

Chippies

@OrigamiRobot Only because he succumbed to your pressure!

user58869

lets me see thosr#e hands

Origami Robot

@Yuki I eat my steak like a caveman because using a knife and fork only means you're getting delicious meat juice in places that aren't your mouth.

user15026

I figure as long as I am allowed to eat my food how I like, the rest is immaterial :P

user15026

@Alex Stop.

Origami Robot

4:23 PM

@AshleyNunn No! Everyone who doesn't do it my way is wrong and should be vilified!

Ben Brocka

Have I banned that guy before?

Chippies

I knew the day when robots try to rise and take over humanity isn't far...

user15026

@BenBrocka Who, Alex?

user15026

Entirely possible.

Origami Robot

Did I miss some drama?

user15026

4:25 PM

@OrigamiRobot Just a minor irritation.

Origami Robot

Besides the fruit drama I'm trying to incite, obviously.

StrixVaria

Is eating kiwi skins a real thing?

Origami Robot

Yes

user15026

According to @OrigamiRobot it is

Origami Robot

It's just like grape skin, but with hair.

Chippies

4:29 PM

Supposedly kiwi skins have vitamins and stuff in it.

StrixVaria

I am not going to try this because I'm 90% sure that afterwards, @OrigamiRobot would just point and laugh since this is clearly a prank.

@OrigamiRobot Is skinning peaches a real thing?

Origami Robot

@StrixVaria Ask @AshleyNunn

@StrixVaria Peach skins are so icky

StrixVaria

If I have canned peaches or whatever obviously the skin is gone, but I've never heard of taking a full peach and eating it without the skin.

Chippies

4:32 PM

@StrixVaria I hope not, but people will do all kinds of weird things

@AshleyNunn nectarines are the better versions of peaches

user15026

@StrixVaria That is the only way I will each a peach

Chippies

it's like the same stuff, without the hair

user15026

My food is not supposed to be fuzzy

Also, I only eat kiwi skin when it is thin. If the kiwi is less ripe, the skin is thicker.

Origami Robot

How to make your kids eat broccoli: Don't cook it. Raw broccoli is the best.

Chippies

raw brocolli is great dipped in mayonaise

Coronus

@Yuki Yes. I have a daughter that hates broccoli... unless it's in my stir-fry.

SaintWacko

broccoli in alfredo pasta is amazing

Ben Brocka

@badp Think RPG + SEENPAAAAAAAAAAAAI Kawaiiiii

Yuki

4:38 PM

Honestly, any way of preparing broccoli is great. Unless you steam it like a crazy, crazy American.

Origami Robot

@Chippies No, you lost me at mayo. Mayo is gross.

Trent Hawkins

@Yuki You had me at garlic.

Chippies

@OrigamiRobot substitute it with sauce of your choice

Krazer

@Yuki You see... the fiber-related components in broccoli do a better job of binding together with bile acids in your digestive tract when they've been steamed...

Origami Robot

@Chippies That would be no sauce.

Krazer

4:39 PM

So when this binding process takes place, it's easier for bile acids to be excreted, and the result is a lowering of your cholesterol levels

user15026

I love broccoli

Chippies

@OrigamiRobot raw broccoli is a bit tasteless

user15026

In like any sort of form

Ben Brocka

@Yuki just a light bit of steam is great. Very easy to overcook though

user15026

Stir Fry is best though

Origami Robot

4:40 PM

@Chippies You are insane. It is full of flavor.

Chippies

@AshleyNunn totally!

@OrigamiRobot maybe my tastebuds are dead

or maybe your robot tastebuds are just superior

Origami Robot

I must be a super taster because I think a lot of "bland" foods are delicious and full of flavor.

Trent Hawkins

Way too much talk about food this close to lunch, which reminds me, I need sammich meat. Time for a long walk to Safeway.

Chippies

I've ate flavourful food since I was a child, so bland food doesn't fancy me

Origami Robot

I ate flavorful food too. What you call bland, I taste flavor in.

Krazer

4:44 PM

@OrigamiRobot by bland, most non-photosynthetic organic humans mean "not enough flavor"

Ben Brocka

Don't Supertasters mostly get nasty extra flavors?

Origami Robot

@Krazer Yes, I'm saying I taste the flavor that you guys can't.

Chippies

@OrigamiRobot or perhaps your standards for "enough flavour" is way lower

Yuki

@OrigamiRobot It's not so much you taste the flavor that we can't, it's that we need more whereas that pittance is enough for you.

Krazer

@BenBrocka Olives are too salty for me to eat

Chippies

4:46 PM

@Krazer black olives are usually not as salty as green ones

black olives are good...

Origami Robot

@Yuki sigh The flavor you overlook. Happy now?
