@Frank The fun part is that it took the client an hour to man up and tell them one specific user did something stupid, remote checking all users who were active at the time takes a stupid amount of time.

Frank

@Arperum Yep. I know the feeling.

One of our branches loves to play fast and loose with, "One user per login", and then complain when we lock them down.

fredley

Take that inferior US food

Frank

Speaking of, I have to go check that branch now, to see if they're adhering to that standard.

StrixVaria

Hershey's chocolate is so bad.

I had a coworker from England visit once, and at a team offsite event, they had a fire with smores. After explaining to him what smores were, we went to the fire and he saw the Hershey's and said "I thought you said these were made with chocolate?"

fredley

@StrixVaria I remember going to NY aged 12 or so. Hershey's store appeared to be magical chocolate fantasy land. Was beside myself with excitement until I realised they weren't selling chocolate, they were selling foil-wrapped poop.

StrixVaria

2:06 PM

He also said that graham crackers tasted like "digestive biscuit".

fredley

@StrixVaria tbf, digestive biscuits taste pretty good imo

Although it's about as bland as a taste can be

StrixVaria

@fredley Yeah that wasn't a bad thing.

I just found the name weird.

fredley

grainier, less sweet shortbread

For reference, shortbread:

Shortbread is fucking amazing

StrixVaria

That looks pretty good.

fredley

@StrixVaria It's very sweet, and weirdly creamy in texture. If I'm giving gifts to people elsewhere in the world, I usually give them this. Nobody dislikes it, regardless of culinary culture.

You can also get 'Millionaire's Shortbread', which looks like this:

StrixVaria

2:10 PM

Is that chocolate and caramel?

fredley

@StrixVaria Yes. Yes it is.

StrixVaria

Is it salted?

Chocolate + caramel + salt = best flavor combination imaginable

fredley

@StrixVaria Since salted caramel became a 'thing', I bet you can get that.

StrixVaria

Better than chocolate + peanut butter

Which is incredible; I never thought that would be beaten.

Yuuki

Better than chocolate + steak sauce?

StrixVaria

2:12 PM

Considerably.

Yuuki

@StrixVaria Good lord. Chocolate + steak sauce has been king ever since it beat out honey + vinegar.

GnomeSlice

Good morning everybody

StrixVaria

Are you being serious?

Yuuki

@StrixVaria I make weird sandwiches.

StrixVaria

I can't tell if you're just putting random-ass flavors together.

Or if these are things you actually eat.

GnomeSlice

2:13 PM

What a nice day.

Yuuki

@StrixVaria Specifically only on sandwiches.

StrixVaria

I could see honey + vinegar on a sandwich.

fredley

Branston Pickle and Cheese or gtfo

StrixVaria

I'm still not getting chocolate + steak sauce, though.

Personally I like chips on sandwiches (@fredley: crisps).

Although french fries (@fredley: chips) are good on the right kind of sandwich.

fredley

@StrixVaria weirdo

Potato does not go in bread

Frank

2:15 PM

@StrixVaria @TrentHawkins does this with burgers.

I find it strange. But whatever. I put cheese on a ton of stuff.

GnomeSlice

@Unionhawk Not sure actually charging for this is particularly legal.

StrixVaria

@Frank Also good with cheese steaks.

fredley

Note for Americans, this is how you cheese:

Frank

@fredley That looks like...jam?

I recognize the cheese, but I don't know what that other stuff is.

fredley

@Frank It's Pickle, a type of chutney

Slab of cheese, and some stuff to eat the cheese with

traditional British lunch

@Yuuki ...

Rapitor

@fredley i find the lack of meat very depressing

Trent Hawkins

@Frank I also sometimes splash rootbeer ontop of the fries on the burger.

fredley

@Rapitor Normally you'd have a good slab of ham hock too

Or a pork pie

@frank I say low quality, but at the end of the day, it's gonna be deleted no matter what we name it.

Frank

@AshleyNunn Yeah, but I was just wondering if we had a set policy of handling it.

Because sometimes it gets the spam/offensive hammer, sometimes it doesn't.

@OrigamiRobot it's an italian easter pie.

StrixVaria

Origami Robot

I'm gonna keep calling it ham cube pie.

StrixVaria

I don't remember the details of why I didn't like it.

fredley

@Frank The policy is 'flag it until it dies'

StrixVaria

I just remember thinking that it was shallow.

Rapitor

2:24 PM

a really big quiche.

Frank

@fredley This, I can approve of.

user15026

@frank from what I remember of discussions with the powers that be, those posts are why low quality is a thing.

user15026

Low quality tends to be used as a "this needs edits and I can't be bothered to do it" which frustrates the crap out of me

Wipqozn

@Frank There's a meta somewhere saying you can use spam flags, since then it'll be deleted automatically after so many flags. However, like @fredley and @AshleyNunn said...it really doesn't matter. Whatever flag you use will get it deleted eventually.

I usually just spam flag + delete vote.

Rapitor

and now I hunger.

Wipqozn

2:26 PM

@AshleyNunn It is

Frank

@Wipqozn I usually just use the offensive flag, for the "unfit for respectful discourse" reasoning.

Wipqozn

Low quality isn't meant for "this needs to be edited", it means "nothing can save this"

Origami Robot

I don't even know what a quiche is. I've heard the word so i know it's food, but that's it.

user15026

@fredley I scrolled up and now I am making breakfast of a bagel with good aged cheddar and Branston Pickle and it is your fault

Wipqozn

@Frank offensive and spam flags are the same thing behind the scene, I believe

fredley

2:27 PM

@AshleyNunn YESSSSSSSSSS

THIS IS THE CORRECT WAY TO CHEESE

Wipqozn

I want a ncie breakfast. I just had cereal.

Frank

@Wipqozn They sure seem to be counted the same; you can't flag a post as both.

Wipqozn

I'll be having them for the next 2 days tyhough

Frank

But @fredley has now given me tacit permission to use ALL the flags on gibberish. :P

Wipqozn

@Frank Sounds like a plan!

fredley

2:27 PM

@Frank ~~tacit~~ explicit

user15026

@fredley a friend showed me the joy of Pickle recently, and now I am addicted.

@AshleyNunn Pickle and mature cheddar is so good. I just had lunch, but now I'm hungry again.

Also, a proper Ploughman's lunch is one of my most favorite things.

There's a place next door that serversbrunch... I wonder if they are open...

@OrigamiRobot I think hashbrowns

@MattGiltaji You've probably never had real cheese

@OrigamiRobot usually potato chunks

GnomeSlice

@Arperum You can take an enzyme capsule before eating stuff to make it not make you sick.

@Wipqozn those are not hash browns

In Canada hashbrowns refers to several different types of ways of making potatoes

Arperum

@AshleyNunn They are straight up one of my favorite foods, especially with the cheesesauce made from the cheese my mom makes.

GnomeSlice

@MattGiltaji If you get lactose free milk, it's mostly just regular milk with lactase added in, sometimes just having some of the milk can be enough to let you eat a small amount of cheese or whatever

Frank

@AshleyNunn I will happily send you a link.

@AshleyNunn @TrentHawkins and I add it to almost everything we make.

We like the cheese.

Matt Giltaji

2:44 PM

@Rapitor even so, knowing the lactose half life of cheeses would be useful info

Origami Robot

I love cheese by itself, but not on most things.

StrixVaria

Fried cheese is so good. Literally just heat up cast iron pan, add cheese, done.

Origami Robot

Exceptions being pizza, tacos, subs from this one single place and no others, probably one or two other things

fredley

@StrixVaria Place cheese on bread. Add Lea & Perrins. Place under grill.

Uuuuuuuuugh

so gooooood

user15026

@MattGiltaji he says it has to do with the culturing and the age, so the longer the cheese is aged the more the microbial bits in the cheese eat the lactose. He says that any good quality Parmesan, any aged cheddar (2 years and above) etc are generally safe. Younger cheese like mozzarella have way more lactose, and uncultured unaged cheese like paneer is, and I quote "a sadness bomb waiting to happen'
