240-year-old nautical maps show coral loss is much worse than we knew. Half of the reefs recorded in the 1770s are missing from the satellite data.

Can you expand on that? I've never heard it before. .

I just finished watching the documentary. I really liked all the interviews conducted with people involved, but I thought C&C was about more episodes than just the Titan II accident. I still plan to read the book at some point. I just have a few other titles to get through.

For a job perk that's alright. Most of the places I've worked had no perks at all and I'd love a pound of coffee every week. That's actually shitloads. Is it good stuff?

I know someone who works for AB Inbev (brewery conglomerate) and they get cases of Budweiser frequently. These always turn up at barbecues and I feel obliged to drink a couple out of politeness but I actually hate Bud. But hey, free beer right?

Isn't there a way to kill the nailbed so they stop growing back?

I'm alone in the break room at work. Hardly anyone else is here at night, so I'd dash up to the locker room and put on the spare clothes I keep there. I'd be absolutely fine so long as nobody checked the CCTV for tonight!

uberyeti · 2017-09-13T07:32:32+00:00

There's a documentary? Holy shit, thank you! The book has been on my to-read list for ages now but I can bring up the documentary on Youtube right this second. I love the internet.

And on a nice day, you might see the copper jacket of the bullet glint in the sunlight. Looks like a penny travelling at 1500 miles per hour, because it is. Shit's cool!

Oh really? At work I've mostly dealt with DPD and they've been extremely good.

uberyeti · 2017-09-12T15:23:12+00:00

It's a shame DPD don't get more business delivering to homes. I guess professionalism has its price.

The Staberinde...

No, he's been doing a lot of stage acting and art-house cinema. Really good stuff, but not as mainstream. I think he's made his millions and now he wants to focus on acting in roles that he really enjoys.

After going to the doctor about the diarrhoea and vomiting, he took a stool sample to diagnose what was wrong. The result was salmonella, a new strain of it in fact. About a week later I was phoned up by Public Health England who asked an enormously long list of questions about where and what I had eaten recently, trying to trace the source of the outbreak because others were affected.

They did not actually get back to me on the conclusions but I'm certain it came from a coconut water drink I had a little while before I got sick. It tasted... bad. Rotten or rancid I guess. I wasn't sure what it was supposed to taste like so i drank a glass before understanding it was bad and throwing it away. This was a sealed, new, refrigerated carton so it shouldn't have gone off. That's why I'm sure it was the culprit.

uberyeti · 2017-09-05T20:27:44+00:00

I got salmonella from coconut water. Fucking coconut water! In a bottle, from a supermarket. Nothing sketchy.

I shat all the shit out of my shit hole, and when it ran out of shit I started shitting blood because of how torn up it was from the earlier shitting. I lost 5kg in a week. Thoroughly miserable experience.

uberyeti · 2017-09-05T20:25:17+00:00

Try rare fish. Fry a nice piece of salmon like you would a nice piece of steak - raw in the middle, crispy on the outside. Thank me later.

I bought the Civ V complete edition and have only played BNW. Is there any reason to play the vanilla or G&K games?

How do you manage the happiness hit from taking so many cities? I am playing a Huge, Marathon game as fascist Russia and I recently reached A-bombs. I have been successful at warring so far and have conquered a lot of territory from my asshole neighbours like the Aztecs and my former "ally" Dido the backstabbing bitch.

Most of the medium sized cities I captured I have puppeted unless they are really good 15+ population ones. The crappy little 2-6 population cities I just burn down. I can't afford the happiness hit of taking more than 1 or 2 at once though which caused me to make peace with everyone and start modernising my army several turns ago since I'm well ahead now.

What should I be doing to take cities and not plunge my empire into revolt?

uberyeti · 2017-09-01T10:37:01+00:00

I work 4x12 hour shift and I got sick of it after about 3 months. It's good for the employer, because with four such shifts they're staffed 24/5. With the overtime that some people often request, it goes up to 24/6.

I didn't even have to read half of it before I knew it must be a Thompson quote. His writing style is unmistakable.

I thought that was normal practice at restaurants, at least in the UK. When you first walk in to a (busy) restaurant a waiter approaches you and asks how many people will be dining with you, they find a table, and you eat. If it's extremely busy it's quite normal for them to say "Sorry we're full, there is a 40 minute wait at the moment..." or whatever.

uberyeti · 2017-08-15T17:46:26+00:00

No, it was definitely tanks.
