morning!

morning o/

guten morgen

hurrah i finally have been given more work to do

@AlexRobinson Yay!

In the meanwhile, I've reached the last hour of training (done in 15 minutes) and it's in the stage of 'we'll keep talking to fill time'

There might be some people that want to read this/the last paragraph

interesting that Chipps didn't stay long in SO

Eh, I wouldn't call almost 3 years 'short' ;)

oh dam, was it 3 years?

time flies :P

At least, I think.

Can't find an exact post announcing her...

But there was a mention of her being a staff member from Jan '19 in a post. It's reasonable to assume she was on the staff a bit before that? Which would mean at least 2,5 years.

so i've just been given a default powepoint that i need to adapt, and the sample text is some latin about peanut butter and pillows xd

Better than that standard latin filler text?

I probably would too, if I could translate Latin :P

i don't know any latin at all, fortunately google knows atleast two words of latin

Weird that it knows the word for peanut butter though, I don't think Romans had peanuts?

@Tinkeringbell I think she was promoted internally from another team

they might have had peanuts but they almost ceratinly didnt have peanut butter

@Tinkeringbell Peanuts or something similar is possible

Peanut butter's a relatively recent thing

@JourneymanGeek Well definitely not peanuts. I know those were colonized from South America.

I think the chinese claim to have invented it

Well they're obviously wrong according to wikipedia, peanut butter was invented in Montreal, Canada.

Oh peanuts

jordnötssmör < I like Swedish XD

Try to translate 'Malus domestica' from Latin to English.

That's apples. I don't need translate for that :P

Right. A literal translation, though, should be something like 'bad home', but...

Google says that it translates to Japan.

@Tinkeringbell Wait what. Really? Huh.

@Sarov There also was 'peanut cheese' in Surinam before that, which was more like a pressed block that you'd take slices off, like cheese... so not a thing you could spread out like today's peanut butter. But it's suspected the Dutch word for peanut butter (pindakaas, meaning peanut cheese) comes from there, since the 'butter' word was protected already so people couldn't call margarine butter ....

Now I want to bite into a block of peanut cheese.

Hmm. I can't find any references on the internet to it still being sold...

Aw.
