Timelies all!
Mmmm, vanilla. (Sorry, I've got nothing else)
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Damn, I want that just for the name. And I'm not even a vegetarian!
My friend in Cleveland bought that cookbook. She is a vegetarian, though. Her license plates also say, "Cthulhu." Really. Deb got a HUGE kick out them.

Years ago I read the theory that cultivation began so folks would have a ready supply of the ingredients for beer. Is that theory still... around?
Um, sort of. I think the general consensus is that some form of cultivation (or at least management of wild resources) has to occur before brewing can happen, as the most likely way that spontaneous fermentation would occur is when storing crops. Proper beer needs a prior knowledge of malting, also, which again probably wouldn't be seen except in crop storage.
There's an increase in the growing of fruit crops that coincides with the beginning of centralised settlement which has been proposed as indicative of the beginnings of alcohol production.
This is fun. It's been ages since I've had to think about anything outside of Irish archaeobotany.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This is fun.

Ma Cherie Amour. Stuck in my head. Off to a meeting. Spork me now, dog, spork me now.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Oh crap. Tell me I'm smart! Quick! I think I have that Simpson's gene and I'm getting dumber!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You're smart! Smaht, even.

Wicked Smart!

Thanks! I'm reading a booklet called Protocol for Chemical Hazard Classification, and my brain is melting.

The booklet probably fits in one of the classifications it is detailing.
I think I may have survived today. Tomorrow morning's tests will give the final say.
I like sharing my office with only one person, but I really think all the necessary people (dev, test, ops) should sit in the same room for installations. Diagnosis of problems and fixes happened a lot faster when we were all there. But omg, exhausting.
And I think I found another problem, thankfully minor, just before I left. Ah well. It's going a lot more smoothly than I expected.

That's not even English, is the thing.
