GM's Thread About Everything/GM's Thread About Nothing (15 Viewers)

Volume. Duh.
60/40 sounds about right then. 

More like 70/30 for surface area though IMO.

I like a nice thing chocolate chip cookie that is a little chewy and just a tiny bit crispy. None of that thick cakey cookie garbage, or super dry crunchy abomination.

 
Sent me to google.

"During the waning days of the war, the Nazis developed cocaine chewing gum for young sailors to use while piloting single-man submarines on suicide missions."

WHERE CAN I GET THIS???
Worse, they made drug called D-9 that was a combo of meth, cocaine and morphine so the two man subs could stay under for 4 days. None of them returned

 
I'm having hotel chocolate chip cookies that lead me to a GMTANian question:

the correct proportion of cookie to chocolate chips in a chocolate chip cookie is xx:xx?
Somewhere between 70-30 and 50-50. Mass produced in willing to overlook a 75-25 split IF the dough is decent. 

 
Tentacle porn?
I didn't have any anti-depressant life stories to share earlier... floppinho turned 10 while playing AC/DC tunes at a couple of local clubs this weekend. So he's an addict now and hangs out in front of cbgbs busking for change. I mean in front of the John Varvatos boutique.

But I just finished searching for Sugarman, which I had inexplicably not seen until now. And I actually wept. And then thought I'd share it. Especially since Jr is out trying to score.

 
I realized I missed quinoachat, but I am having a quinoa salad for lunch today.  It's really hard to mess up. Airlines, what can you do?  Tampa has been rainy and crappy for the last 2 weeks so it may suit you for now K4.  Maybe not the temperature though.  Dropped the wife off at the airport this morning for her annual trip to visit her parents in Milwaukee.  Happy to stay behind this time.  I might go on a beer bus tour with friends this weekend that stops at 8 breweries and 2 restaurants.  Or maybe sit at home and watch awful movies.  TBD.

8? This has :tfp:  written all over it.

We did one of these recently. All met at a local bar, bussed to 5 breweries then back to the bar. About a dozen of us went. 1/2 the people don't remember being at the last brewery.  When we got back to bar, one of the guys fell backwards in his barstool. I say in, not off of because he was still perfectly 'seated' in it, but flat on his back.

If I stick with sours, it will be half as bad as I expect.

On a conference call that includes some Indian (dot) resources.  One woman has a voice that sounds like an auditory version of the head bobble.

 
When I woke up the next morning,  I sat down at the table to have some coffee. About 5 minutes later, my son walks by me and says 'no, I don't want a sandwich.'

I gave him a :confused:  look and he said, 'that's in case you didn't hear me the three times you asked me last night'

I guess I Ubered home with the cooler, which had the leftover sandwiches from the bus, and asked him multiple times if he wanted one. Each time I asked him, it appeared I was unaware that I previously had.

i'm a pretty easygoing morning guy. let's keep it low key, ease on in to things. not to say i don't like to be active and moving.. i'm not a wake up, poop, 30 minute coffee & paper, walk the dog kinda guy.

more of a get up, shower, eat breakfast, listen to a little music quietly.. no need for excitement.. or loud noises. 

give me until at least 9 - 9:30 before the fireworks

!@#@!^%$$!$ is the opposite

damn near every morning he comes CHARGING in to the office, hair afire, wildly half-shouting/half-stumbling through some imaginary scenario.  or, this morning, something that's actually happening but that it takes time to sort out between the arm flailing, crotch grabbing, guffawing and hopping around he's doing.

there's a Day out With Thomas the Train event near here today. it's close enough we can hear the train whistle every couple minutes all day long. maybe the first hour or so it's noticeable, then fades in to the background for me.

there's a lady here who nearly has a psychotic break every year over it. three days straight of heavier than usual car and foot traffic that she can see from her office window + the constant toot toot of Thomas's horn. she will be in full sweat, pacing, barking and moaning about it by noon today. 

#$!@@$!$ just thinks it's the most hilarious thing that has ever happened today. or this hour. EVERY YEAR. for three days.  

he's beside himself with joy today. 

others suffering is his happy place. his happy place involves flopping around like a dying fish, grabbing at his balls while he yucks his way through some half-understandable explanation of what his brain is trying to tell him to communicate.

i once heard it described as "it's like his brain is an old computer, that still runs really really fast but is overloaded with spam that's kicking off thousands of pop-up ads that are interrupting the normal processing".

pray for mojo

:lmao: I nearly snarfed my :coffee:  at this

 
In a baked chocolate chip cookie...the more chips, the better. 

If we are eating raw dough, the chips are not really necessary. Just give me the dough and the salmonella.

 
I'm sitting with a blanket wrapped around me, shivering in this god forsaken cold conditioned air where my other three office mates insist on keeping the temperature at 69.  Sucks bigly.  

 
About 20 years ago I got a serious concussion while skiing.  I was an expert skier, but I was bored of the mountain (Mt. Snow in Vermont) and got reckless.  I was early in my career and was working in corporate finance at a large Japanese company that treated it's employees like a stereotypical Japanese company (12 hour days, little time off, etc...) so I didn't take the time needed to recover properly.  There was also little known about concussions then, at least compared to now.  I have had a constant headache since then.  I am very sensitive to bright light and always wear sunglasses when outside, even if it's not sunny.  Most days it's in the background and if I am busy I can take the edge off with an over the counter pain killer and ignore it.  However, some days it's like a full blown migraine where I can barely keep my eyes open because I am so sensitive to bright lights.  Today is one of those days.  I can't work and I have been lying on my coach with my eyes closed for most of the morning.  I am sooo bored.  I turned the brightness down on my computer and have been taking pain killers, but usually I just have to wait it out and get some rest.

There really is no solution for concussions and it's symptoms.  I have been to doctors and have had a cat scan and the only thing they tell me is to rest.  I refuse to take prescription pills because I don't want to get addicted, and the times I have taken prescription medication it hasn't really helped enough, at least to mitigate the other side effects.  It's a tough situation so I would say to anyone who gets a concussion - get the rest you need right away and take it seriously.  It can have significant long term consequences.

It's definitely effective and IMO it's the best medication for this, but I am looking for a new job now and some companies drug test so I have to lay off.
best of luck. Hopefully the stigma is lifted one day. Things have been moving in that direction, but with any change in cultural / societal norms, there are always steps backwards along the way.

Jeff Sessions >>> Hai!

sucks there's nothing that can be done- sorry to hear you're going through this. I've had 5 or 6 concussions, but thankfully nothing as bad what you're suffering through... just tinnitus and forgetfullness. 

 
dry heat, sally.
The classroom I'm was the same classroom where I took 11th grade geometry back when I was in HS*.  The A/C does a good job if the temps are in the low 100s.  Once it hits 105 or so it starts to give up around noon.  Yesterday it was barely able to keep the room below 82F.

*Is it made of adobe? Sod?  

Who built it? The same slaves that build the pyramids?

Instead of a blackboard did the teacher just paint on the cave walls?

I thought Euclid didn't invent geometry until 300BC?

Coincidentally, the same temperature GM would be willing to give up his slanket.
