I'm always iffy about the idea of going to movies alone. And I'm British, not American. It's just not the done thing. Which is really weird considering that sitting in a dark room and watching a screen in silence for two hours does not feel like a particularly social activity. dokmo posted:This may answer some of your questions

I've been to the movies with groups of people for so long that it would feel a little strange to go to the movies by myself. Being single and working a job that makes me work every weekend I don't really have anyone to go to the movies with. So I don't go.

If they're made any time in the past 15 years, they'll be programmable, so I could set this thing up like a sous vide and allow a huge range of pressures plus optional settings for using steam and I think UV. Plus, I can set up cycles and it records data. All of this is why I'm convinced that someone has done this before with good results. It seems like something you'd find in the biggest food nerd's kitchen. Unless you're talking about using an incinerator, which is something I also have access to. That would would indeed make for the worst turkey. Literally, it would have zero water (we use this to get dry weights of objects).

I was thinking it was higher heat than that. And with steam, I'm sure you could cook more quickly than with dry radiant/convection heat. I don't think it would get crispy that way, but I could be wrong about that too. so please do it for science and let us know. Better yet, make a thread about it in GWS.

Baron Bifford posted:I have a friend at work who often asks for anybody to accompany him to the movies. He seems really embarrassed about going alone. Is this a common thing among Americans? I go to the cinema alone all the time. I go by myself all the time. Now going to a restaurant alone would be awkward.

I'm doing excel, and I want more precise decimals in my last column. It looks like the answer is correct, but rounded. For example, in the first column, the correct answer does begin with a 2. For the next 3 columns, the correct answer does behing with a 1. Not sure how to resolve this problem?

The QUOTIENT function truncates to a whole number. If you want the decimals, just use regular division.

The best way to see a movie is to go to the cinema by yourself at a time when no one else will be there. The last film I saw in the cinema was Tintin, and I went at about 10am on a weekday and got the cinema to myself and it was great. Mister Kingdom posted:I go by myself all the time.

When I go to a restaurant alone I usually eat at the bar, as do most people that are eating alone, so you end up eating with a few strangers + a bartender to talk to. I've made many friends this way. I've also traded phone numbers with many people I would never wish to see again.

Does anyone remember this terribly designed website that looked like it was made by a schizophrenic person? It resembled something like a lovely geocities site from the late 90s and I think it was for a wedding or flower shop or something? Either way, the person who designed it was the son of the store's owner and had a bunch of links to his music and drawings scattered among a sea of nearly unintelligible links. Some of it got downright weird and disturbing, and it was this beautiful weird little gem in the middle of the internet.

My roommate came down with the flu last week which spread to me over the weekend. I called out of work yesterday because I was feeling horrible and today because I was dehydrated and exhausted. I just got a call from work stating I need to bring in a doctors note for missing 2 days, which I don't have because I know my body and knew that I just needed to sleep and hydrate which is all that the doctor would have told me. Will a walk-in clinic examine me and give a note of 'this guy is OK to work now' or am I SOL?

Just remember this for the future, and if you get an opportunity to gently caress them down the line, do so.

Thanatosian posted:They don't want a note saying that you're okay to work now; they want a note saying that you were actually sick. It's a way of punishing you for calling in sick, especially if they don't give you health insurance that covers ordinary doctor visits, or sick time. The mere single "gently caress you" of not getting paid isn't quite enough, so they force you to shell out for a doctor visit, too. Or take the bill with you to work to submit for reimbursement. They won't pay it, obviously, but it'd be a nice slap in the face for them (if it doesn't get you fired).

RaoulDuke12 posted:That's one example yeah, but most restaurants have a "pub style" bar, and you can eat at it. Yeah and a lot of time sitting at the bar is a less popular option, and if the restaurant is full the server will ask if you want to sit at the bar. You might have to wait 20 minutes to get a table but you can often get seated much faster if you want to sit at the bar. I like sitting at the bar if I'm with one or two other people, but any more than that and you can't really talk with everyone because you're all sitting in a line. Pretty much all of the generic chain restaurants have that kind of setup here (Olive Garden, Applebees, Chili's, etc). And a lot of the locally owned bar and grill type places will let you eat at the bar too.

Thanks for the replies. Luckily I have good insurance, so the cost isn't the issue. I just don't really know how this works since I've never had to provide a doctor's note before, and since I'm mostly fine today (just exhausted, dehydrated, and definitely not in working condition) rather than still presenting symptoms I just don't know exactly what I'm supposed to ask for now.

Well, call a place or two that you're considering going, tell them the situation, and ask if they can help you out. But still vomit on your boss tomorrow for good measure.

My friend and I both have MacBook Pros from the same basic batch, early 2011. His is an i7 2.5 (8,2) mine is an 15 2.3 (8,1). They both have 2 x 2 GB chips and they appear to both take the same kind of memory -and can take up to an 8 GB pc3-10600 1333mhz chip in each of the two slots. I can get us a 16 GB kit (2 x 8GB) for around $100. OR I can get us 4 GB chips for $24 each. We don't really want to buy TWO of the 16GB kits -50 bux is about all we want to spend, each. Is there any problem with adding one 8 GB chip to each laptop, and leaving one 2 GB chip in each, thus increasing both their memories to 10 GB? They are all the same speed, but I remember that years ago it was frowned upon to mis-match memory sizes.

Is there an easy (and free, like in Paint.NET, GIMP, or similar) way to convert a simple raster image to a vector one? And then back to raster again so it can be easily opened/used by other programs that might not have the capability to use vector image formats? Edit: V V V Yeah, I literally just noticed Inkscape after posting. It shouldn't be too hard, it's mostly straight lines. Trying to make some icon images for my phone bigger without them getting blurry. V V V DrBouvenstein fucked around with this message at 20:11 on Sep 10, 2013 |
