We don't have jamaican jerk sauce.  But we do have cheddar, chicken, and sweet chili sauce. I'm pretty sure I could bring in some jamaican jerk sauce and make a pizza of my own after hours, as long as I pay for the (employee discounted) cheese pizza version.. Unfortunately, we don't have habanero sauce of any kind, so jalapenos would have to go with it.I've had Jamaican Jerk Chicken tacos at a nearby taco place... complete with habanero sauce. The first half of the taco tasted amazing. I'm pretty sure the rest of it did too, I just couldn't taste anything (or feel most of my face). wallaka posted:That's a bunch of pizza sauce. Goddamn. I spilled a can of chocolate shell in a Dairy Queen once, but this is an order of magnitude more. That can of chocolate was probably about a gallon.. This was 8 cans (probably about 1 gallon each), plus 3 cans of water, plus seasoning, all mixed up. I dropped half of the batch. As usual, when I gently caress up, I gently caress up good. This is my first real fuckup at this place.  freelop posted:Asda does a really nice BBQ pizza sauce in a jar and it is cheap too. We have a fantastic BBQ chicken pizza - but the sauce is Sweet Baby Rays's BBQ sauce (available in any grocery store around here), plus chicken, bacon, and red onion. It's by far my favorite pizza at any pizza place, but it belongs on thin crust, with lots of cheddar. And I'll probably need insulin afterwards. Totally worth it. Off topic: went into the Racetrac (gas station/convenience store) across from work last night. Different hair color, different glasses, didn't have a hat on. I'm in there daily, and the cashier I usually deal with noticed something was "different". When I mentioned I dyed my hair solid black, he said "... you did? I thought it was always black." (it's naturally dark brown, with a bit of grey). Mentioned the glasses... "that must be it". Mentioned the hat... "you wear a hat?". Not sure if I was being trolled, or if he'd spent long enough in retail not to notice that poo poo anymore. I know I didn't notice different hats, glasses, or even hair colors, on my regulars when I worked at Whole Foods, even the ones I was on a first name basis with. e: have a picture of STR catte trying to blend in with an old Pizza Hut pizza bag.  randomidiot fucked around with this message at 11:58 on Jan 9, 2015 |

freelop posted:Just the regular BBQ table sauce? Yup, just the normal glass bottle stuff. We never considered it either until we were making pizza one day and someone asked if we had any sauce handy for dipping. I had some reggae because I love throwing that poo poo all over chicken so we dipped aaaaaaaaaand it was amazing. So brains whirred and we tried a 50/50 blend of regular pizza sauce and reggae. Pretty good. Brains then suggested "maybe just the reggae?" and something beautiful was born. About 6 months later Dominos released reggae pizza and they were terrible, mainly because Dominos dough tastes like cardboard and they overuse corn flour but the sauce tasted like some watered down poo poo. So that's the tale of how I became an addict and how I make better pizza than a pizza giant. some texas redneck posted:We don't have jamaican jerk sauce. If you try the sweet chilli one just try the sweet chilli sauce, a reasonable helping of cheddar and some oregano. That's the one I always make first at a pizza party and the one that people ask for more of. It's so simple. Try the jerk bbq sauce one on its own first so you understand what it's doing taste wise, then throw whatever you want on it. Pizza is equal parts art and science.

So the reason Advance wouldn't change the battery in the TDI isn't because it might take longer than 30 minutes like the online chat person said. They don't do some VW's, BMW, Merc and others because there is a chance the whole car will flip out and won't start. I'm guessing it's rare and happens if you do something stupid like short to ground or hook it up backwards but it's just to cover their asses. I ended up just disconnecting everything then had the guy do the lifting so I didn't gently caress up my back more. Car started right up this morning with no hesitation though it helps being 20 degrees warmer than yesterday morning. I've already locked the thermostat and put a physical lock on the gas fireplace, now it looks like I'm going to have to confiscate the space heater. It was cold (for TN) yesterday, I get home and the house is a loving sauna. Brother's wife is playing video games in a bath robe with 2 space heaters going full blast a few feet in front of her. That or they need to start paying utilities, last month was the highest bill I've ever had and I can't wait to see how much this month is with me out of town for two weeks.

Another day at the office the morning after a freezing snow storm... Waiting for the lock de-icer to work its magic before opening the back gate:  Picture does it no justice, this loving thing wouldn't budge for a while. My work area after the first car of the day:  I like to save my cold wake-up shower until after I get to work. Loaded with road salt and grit, of course.

God, I don't miss that a bit. The best part for me was having a car drive into my bay, getting into the pit and having a ball of slush the size of my head land on me. Then pulling the filter and it splashes boiling hot oil everywhere. Burned from one side, frozen from the other... sometimes at the same time. Motronic posted:gently caress you and your Florida weather. It isn't THAT bad... at least I have all the code. List of sins, non inclusive, I'm sure I'll find more: none of the include files are #ifndef shielded at all. One of them has an (out of date, naturally) instructive list of header files and .c files and says exactly which order they must be included in to prevent catastrophe, except none of the files I've looked at have the same order, or even the same order as each other. .c files are #included in several places. a .h file has a lot of variables defined in it. Except the guy knew that would cause everything that includes it to end up with the same symbol and the linker would get mad, so he made up his own preprocessor symbol that is an empty macro if you don't have another preprocessor symbol defined, but otherwise is macro'd to "extern". Then only defines the conditional preproc symbol in main.c, and used his custom preprocessor symbol (DECLARE) as a variable type for every variable he created in that .h. magic numbers everywhere. dead, completely out of date code everywhere. none of the comments reflect anything presently in the code, it's all several revisions out of date. random poo poo added to random system header files and parts of the (not supposed to be modified, you're supposed to put your customizations in another file) stock RTOS kernel files. functions created in random .c files and not prototyped in their .h files, but through some combination of compile/link order and deep preprocessor magic, it compiled when I started and took several hours of hacking away at it to make it compile again when I removed a completely unrelated include. Switching two #include lines abruptly resulted in several hundred errors about missing or multiply defined symbols. he uses enums a lot where he could use a list of macros much more clearly and efficiently. he hardcodes RTOS process ID numbers by doing a #define PID <number> at the top of each file and an #undef at the bottom. i.e. there is no central place for them to all be defined and no guarantee there aren't duplicates, and the same macro means 20 different things in 20 different files. I need a goddamn drink. Glad I'm going through this pain all at once to rip everything I actually care about out of this codebase and redo it from scratch at this point, because it's awful and I now understand why it was maddeningly unstable and impossible to debug when I was trying to treat it like a maintenance programmer a year ago. I never looked at all this backend poo poo then, just the code for the individual RTOS tasks.

As boring and mindless as it is at my current job I don't mind it at all. There's a whole lot worse for a lot less pay. So I make it my goal to antagonize any and all management. I'm getting to the point where they don't allow me to do my own air brake tests or put my train together. They hate it because on my inspections I always find things wrong or broke, and it clogs up the works for hours on end.

Never bring your kids to work when you work in a shop... First i had to try to explain (or lie) why i burst into laughter when i opened a box containing an invoice an a jar of lube. I jokingly told one of our part vendors that the next time he gave me such a rape of an invoice he atleast should supply lube... he even charged the loving high temp lube... Then i had to leave the boys with a tech for a couple of minutes. My son later told me that the problem with the bus was because "it had been rear end hosed by a dildo busdriver" i hope he wont learn the meaning of that in at least 10-15 years. luckily i managed to bribe them with cake and soda for their silence before my wife picked them up. i also drove the Lancia to work today, my wife has the G wagon while the kid hauler is getting mended on warranty. and for those playing along at home, i had a CT done yesterday, and the biggest tumour i have had shrunk by approx 15% since i started radiation

I just got an invitation to complete my "personality profile" for one of the upcoming team building workshops, so I can know what kind of person I am and learn to accept the disabilities of other people. It didn't actually give me the result when I finished. There are only four possible results as well - that seems like a subtle and well-thought-out way to differentiate the diversity of humanity. freelop posted:No more drag racing in Russia

I'm annoyed with all this management philosophy and the next big thing poo poo. What ever happened to "show up do your job and go home"? But that died with all the corporate cheerleaders that work in these places. Not trying to hate on my co workers but I see them enough. I like to spend time pursuing my hobbies and poo poo, not posting how awesome my CEO is on Facebook. (Which would cut your rear end if it would make them $10 richer) Edit: not bitter or cynical at all.

Having a short morning "open" meeting is hardly a new idea, regardless of what you call it or which management school/dev religion you got the idea from (which also obviously didn't create the idea). These kinds of things just seem like new idea in the it/software dev field because the field itself is still in it's infancy and is primarily staffed by young people who have never been in another line of work.

Clearly BMW is playing with the sound in that thing because I honestly had no idea it was only a three cylinder after I got out of it, it sounds like anything but when you lay into the throttle. The battery was pretty well drained and I only took it for about a three mile drive, but... yeah, I could live with a hybrid future like that. Getting out of it is a bitch and a half because the doorsill is so tall. More than anything else the best way to describe the power delivery is "smooth". The only thing about the car that was a little jerky is trying to navigate at super-slow parking lot speeds. They dialed the 'automatic creep' a bit hard for my liking but I'm sure it's something you get used to with time. Believe me, I would not turn down some time in that car on a proper road, instead of the midday freeway next to work. The only thing the car is missing is a ridiculous lumpy idle, which it will never really have.

My mom's 2011 GLK 350 had both low beams go out within a day of each other, so I got to experience the joy of changing them. The assemblies are placed in such a way that the whole process has to be done entirely by touch. That wasn't a problem at all on the driver's right-hand side, but the left has so much piping and wiring running through it that it was nearly impossible. I dropped the bulb in the assembly housing more than once, and since you have mere inches to move around, it became an I hour-and-then-some ordeal trying to fish it out and re-insert it. drat my giant gorilla hands. There is a special place in hell for the person who designed this clusterfuck.
