I guess my only question is which changes their name when Washington DC becomes a state are we gonna go directional and call Washingon "West Washington" and DC "East Washington" or are we going to make the governors cage fight for naming rights.

Sure you could also do the reasonable thing and call it the District of Columbia but I'd be more interested in the cage fight.

I assume it'd still be called Washington DC. The Washington state on the west coast sure as gently caress ain't changing it's name.

If we're talking mandatory school classes, I think every high schooler should be made to take a basic skills cooking class, and then some kind of catch-all "adulting" class where they learn how to load a dishwasher, run a vacuum, wash/dry/fold a load of clothes, how to do a household budget, how to make a phone call, etc.

That was home economics & I took that in middle school. Since I was a gigantic nerd that worked to excel under the strict eyes of my Asian parents, I aced the classes.

I got a taste for blown saves
just did a run with the aspect of hestia rail (first shot after reload 150 base damage) and the shattered shackle (increases damage by 50% if you don't have any boons on your attack/special/cast respectively at the level I had it, haven't fully levelled it yet), got the Ares boon that boosts your damage by 200% after killing an enemy (had to level it up to there) and the Ares boon that increases your base damage on attack/special/cast

was doing 750+ damage per shot on Hades thanks to having plenty of those skull things to kill, close to 400 each shot if I hadn't just killed one :magical:

e: I had the hammers that turn your special into a rocket and let you fire it three times in a row without waiting and even then there was no point in using it because the regular rear end shot was so powerful (though slow since you have to reload after each one to get the bonus so it was useful in the rooms but for the boss fight, nah)

e2: poo poo I had the opportunity to take the hammer that gives you +10% to attack and makes it seek the nearest enemy, should have done that

Watching some of Gordon Ramsay's other shows where he travels and interacts with people is genuinely cool. I watched one show where he want to Maui, and he had to create a meal for a group of people at Hana using local ingredients. He went to a famous banana bread stand, and asked how they made it, and they were like "I dunno, you're kind of a jerk" then he spent the rest of the day helping them make banana bread to show that he wasn't.

You just have to separate his "character" of being an rear end in a top hat for entertainment versus who he really is. I've followed some of his cooking stuff, and he knows what he's doing

Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


There is a UK series where he teaches convicts how to cook and run a restaurant. There are less attempts at using the kitchen knives as weapons than you expect.

I took Home Ec in 7th grade. That is where I learned to use a sewing machine so that's pretty good. But they didn't really teach us more than that and how to make Kraft spaghetti from a box. That's right. A boxed spaghetti kit.

I definitely took Home Ec in 8th grade, I don't remember any of the specifics but I do pretty much all of this for my house (even if we're not so great at sticking to a budget) so it must have sunk in.

If you want to talk about weird and outdated school courses, my wife is a non-native English speaker and started learning English in late elementary school...which, as I found out today, involved learning to write in cursive :psyduck: Can't imagine a worse thing to introduce to someone who uses English as a second language.

This, but cut it down to one year and expand it to include things like working FOH in a restaurant, really anything that's face to face with customers/consumers. And no nepotism hires, you gotta work for someone who has no obligation to be nice to you.

Guarantee that such a system will either turn us into a much kinder nation within a decade, or destroy us within three. No middle ground.

It's more complicated than this but I think he's referencing the voucher privitization program when the USSR fell. Basically people were given or could buy very cheaply shares in any state owned company.

Most people are dumb with money anyway, but even more so in this setting. The sharps figured out there was a big difference between current Russian prices for oil and such and everywhere else and vacuumed the vouchers up from people scamming them into taking way less than they were worth, or even sometimes just bartering. Like a microwave or something looks good and you're poor as dirt, why do you need this asset that you don't understand and can't use right now?

This was also a big part of the rise of the Russian mob (which...you know may be the same thing either way), there's a doc out there somewhere that I thought was good.

e: I think I was thinking of Thieves by Law for the documentary? Maybe not, that's all about the mafia. But if I remember right they go through the basic scam and how crazy things were at the time.

In 7th or 8th grade my friends and I made "quesadillas" that featured Southwestern style Velveeta for a class. I don't think it was called Home Ec but it was just a cooking segment during health class where we were using books from the 70s in the early 90s.
