@badp I am trying to decide what to do, my current plan is ALL THE CHEESE but I figure I should figure out something a bit more than cheese +pasta in a pot

I'm trying to decide if I should use my tiny bit of disposable income to purchase food at a food truck (because this is the last chance before winter), or save for more video games / comic books / models.
 
user15026
4:05 PM
Otherwise that would be awesome
 
Grace Note
Grace Note
It depends. How fancy are the models?
 
badp
badp
What I do to make its taste stand out is add sauce, mix, then let the parmigiano snow from your grater and eat without further mixing
when you run out, grate more.
You aren't supposed to do that, but oh well!

Q: What is Gold used for?

freebol96I have got to the stage where i can get the gold upgrade in the workshop in the kittens-game. what exactly is gold used for? and when should i get the upgrade? I am currently torn between saving up minerals fro the amphitheater or to upgrade for gold.

Go for an actual carbonara then
 
user15026
@badp What does one need for that?
 
Frank

@AshleyNunn I now want pasta, with some sort of creamy, cheesy sauce. Preferably with some sort of meat, but that's optional.
 
badp
badp
@AshleyNunn Mostly egg bacon and parmigiano
 
Frank
Frank
@JasonBerkan Yeah, someone always arranges food trucks to do business outside our building during the summertime. Never the same one twice, and one every week or two.

@JasonBerkan Sounds like a plan then since you already have intentions!
 
user15026
4:10 PM
@badp I have those things.

But, it is a food truck, so the actual quality isn't going to be there.
 
user15026
@Frank I am a bad influence.

The truly original recipe actually uses pecorino, but you don't have it and I don't like it

@AshleyNunn I literally have ground beef in the freezer from like 3 weeks ago, bought specifically to make meat sauce. So I should actually probably use that (it's cooked and frozen, so it's fine)
 
Frank
Frank
I'm actually going to be trying some new techniques with this kit.
 
badp
badp
From what I read (because I'm not a cooking book, but this webpage is) you whip eggs and parmigiano together, add pepper, mildly cooked bacon on it (on pan, no oil, etc) and pasta. Add more parmigiano because fuck yes parmigiano.
 
user15026
@Unionhawk dooooo it
 
user15026
4:14 PM
@badp That is a doable plan!
 
badp
badp
If you can chop up the bacon in small pieces that'd be better
 
Frank

definitely not whole slices of bacon

I have eight of these.

@badp I bet whole slices of bacon would still be delicious.

@Unionhawk Not really, it's just pasta and egg otherwise

@fredley They're called Dragoons. They're meant to be detachable, fully independent firing platforms.

@AshleyNunn I'll go on the defensive and say that if that doesn't work I'm really sorry, I preemptively blame the Americans and WW2 and breakfast supplies and romans, and I hope you don't use all of your parmigiano for it.
 
user15026
@badp It's okay, I won't hate you, and I bought a decent sized chunk so if I use it all I would be drowning in cheese.

Q: Ban Of Arthropods Enchantment

user71416I was reading the Minecraft Wiki about the enchantment "Ban of Arthropods" and the enchantment applies a slowness effect to spiders. But at the bottom of the enchantment there is a note that says: Notably, the slowness effect applies not only to kills with the sword, but to any "arthropod" ...

@AshleyNunn I think it's lousy and too high-pitched for my age, but I suppose it's one of those things you can't be a good judge of yourself for.
 
GnomeSlice

@badp You're right, it is.
huehuehue
Just kidding.
 
StrixVaria
StrixVaria
@badp I was thrown off by the fact that you were emulating British English rather than American, although in retrospect that shouldn't be surprising.
 
user15026
@badp It doesn't sound all that high pitched to me. But I know what you mean.
 
Frank
Frank
Fun fact: hearing your own voice while speaking isn't accurate, due to the vibrations in your head distorting it.
Your voice is invariably higher pitched (I think) than what you think you sound like.
 
user15026
4:29 PM
@Frank Yep, which is why a lot of people find recordings of their voices uncomfortable.
 
Origami Robot
Origami Robot
@Unionhawk Yes, feed me with your spite.
 
badp
badp
@StrixVaria That wasn't a conscious effort of mine
 
Frank
Frank
@AshleyNunn I find it initially confusing, but then I find my pitch and cadence in it, and I'm much more comfortable with it.
 
StrixVaria
StrixVaria
@badp No, but since you're closer to England you likely learned that variant of English over American.
 
badp

If I were trying to be accent-conscious, the main thing would be evoiding the "It's-a me" effect :P

@Chippies Do you still run smelters after having geologists able to get gold?

@OrigamiRobot some buildings require iron and trading iron for catnip is best blueprint income

Chippies

tbh, the difference between running 50 smelters and 0 smelters is not worth the loss in production
I gain like 4 minerals and 2 wood per tick by turning off 50 smelters
which is like, 1/6th of total

Q: Arcade Monitor Snowy Static

user431397I have an emulator arcade cabinet (MAME, etc) that I built with a few friends years ago. It uses an arcade monitor CRT and runs Windows XP (old!).

Guanciale
Guanciale (Italian pronunciation: [ɡwanˈtʃaːle]) is an Italian cured meat or salumi product prepared from pork jowl or cheeks. Its name is derived from guancia, Italian for cheek. Guanciale is similar to the jowl bacon of the United States. == Production == Pork cheek is rubbed with salt, sugar, and spices (typically ground black pepper or red pepper and thyme or fennel and sometimes garlic) and cured for three weeks or until it loses approximately 30% of its original weight. Its flavor is stronger than other pork products, such as pancetta, and its texture is more delicate. Upon cooking, the fat...

"Excuse me sir, I'm here on behalf of Judy Wasylycia-Leis the next mayor of Winnipeg" ... assuming she gets elected... silly sign person.

@Michel I know! It's also going to be a ton of work.
I have to prime to a certain texture, and then use the chrome paint.
And then spray the blue.

@TrentHawkins Power of positive thinking, I guess.
Next sign person to come by, tell them we charge a toll for signs. See what they say.

@Frank damn, should have thought of that. Although this one only got me because I came in through the front door hoping to pick up the mail/junk.

@TrentHawkins If they're willing to pay, we'll put every single sign out front.
@FAE Yeah, that's a gorgeous shade of blue.
I'm gonna be working so hard to get something similiar.

@Frank and if they pay more they get to position their sign in front of those who payed less!

@TrentHawkins Capitalism at work!

Of course, out of fairness, we should keep contact information of past sign people so they can pay us more to improve their sign placement.

Indeed. Nothing like a little but of cutthroat mercenary yard space to show free market forces at work.

I wonder if @AshleyNunn ever tried getting a job as a paint shaker after drinking a bunch of coffee.

@Powerlord laugh I could've done it this morning.

Everything's better with a chatbot that responds to mentions of bacon with "Everything's better with bacon!"

@Powerlord would that create an infinite loop because bacon is mentioned in the response

I also had some fresh BC apples. To everyone that doesn't live close enough to BC to get fresh fruit from there - I'm sorry.

is the bacon manageable? it's the part I'm a little worried about
like, is it too much effort to fork along with the rest of the pasta
 
user15026
@badp I cut it up pretty small, so it works pretty okay
 
user15026
the sauce helps it stick to things

@FAE We used to have a similar promotion in Italy (labels with names on them); Nutella also did this.
What ended up happening is people removed the labels from the bottles (without buying the bottles) and sticked them in their room

A bit harder to mass-produce the labels in China since there aren't as many common names there.

@Yuuki It's being over 1~2 years I believe

Ah, in China, they're using Internet buzzwords, not names.
So, you can have a bottle that reads "Meow Planet".
