I'm doing some training at a different company office this week and within a 5 minute walk of the office there are at least: 2 cafes, 2 bakeries, 2 grocery stores, 2 Mediterranean places, the local burger chain, 4 Mexican restaurants, an Indian place, 2 Thai places, a Korean spot, a Japanese spot, and...a Starbucks  The lunch hour is just an incredible amount of options, it kicks rear end. There's really only a by-the-slice pizza place missing.

The last time I worked regularly in an office I was hype because there was a mall right across the street. Then I found out it was dying and most of the stores and all of the restaurants (except a Dave and Busters) had already closed

We have a Starbucks in our building (hasn’t been open since I started post-pandemic early 2020) and a full service cafeteria that’s been closed as well but just started operating in a limited capacity with pre-made options. This week they had Cubanos, pork burritos/bowls, and wings. I didn’t have any of them so idk if it’s good or terrible

I cook so much because there's nowhere to eat around here.

Pron on VHS posted:Despite being a huge fan of the books I have no interest in Reacher the TV show. I suppose it’s because Lee Child’s writing style is central to my love of the books and of course the show won’t have that Pron on VHS posted:What I mean is I like Lee Child’s short choppy sentences and no-fluff style of writing. The show just looks like a generic action thing. My favorite Reacher book is Tripwire I found it to be pretty true to the books in the portrayal of Reacher. The show reminds me of - I guess an updated 90s action movie. He still has the little wise cracks from the books, he's still smart and observational, fights like a threshing machine but the side characters are really solid too. It leans into the books pretty hard and I'm really enjoying it. I'd kinda say watch the first twenty minutes and if you're not sold don't bother but its been really good after watching the massively middling season of Boba Fett and Marvel shows that are just full of crappy filler and badly choreographed fights. The eps go for almost an hour at a crack but to me anyway I don't feel like anything overly drags or navel gazes, every scene moves the plot along pretty well and even though there's a few flashbacks to his childhood they're short and well done and don't put a handbrake on the show like a lot of flashbacks tend to do. It's also not grimdark and the violence isn't overdone but is sufficiently brutal when it needs to be. I'll stan hard for this show, best new series I've watched in a while.

I’ll have to give Reacher a go just for Alan Ritchson, he’s a low key fun actor even if he’ll never be anything other than Thad Castle in my heart

He's also somehow - bigger than he was as thad castle. Dude is massive.

I'm betting on another full year, which lands us somewhere around 5 million deaths over replacement.

I'm not saying Starbucks is any great shakes or anything like that, but the employee discount was pretty great; being able to get a giant-sized vanilla latte at 7:15 a.m. for $1.25 was a godsend on days that I knew were going to be rough.

I'm betting on another full year, which lands us somewhere around 5 million deaths over replacement. That seems really high. I think the current estimates are adding like 200-300k more deaths, so roughly 1.2 million excess deaths. 2019 didn’t even have 3 million deaths total in the US. 5 million deaths over a 3 year period would mean over half the deaths were due to COVID, which won’t be anywhere close.

I don't know how pros just pop a dislocated digit back in place and keep going. This poo poo loving sucks As long as I don't move it at all it's fine but getting through doing basic stuff is annoying, much less catching/throwing anything

I think you might underestimate how awful we are at counting things. Especially things we're incentivized to count poorly. 5 mil is a very high number, granted. What can I say? I believe in my country

I mean at this point it’s pretty clear the government won’t do anything meaningful to stop Covid and capital actively spreads Covid. Covid is only going away if the virus chooses suicide.

FizFashizzle posted:Someone messes up on slalom they just dislocate a shoulder and fall I saw someone mention speed skiing earlier today and...whew was that ever a bad idea. Let's have someone go 150mph with boards strapped on their feet and absolutely no safety net and encourage them to go faster. I'm sure it is one hell of a rush though.

Intruder posted:Thinking about how right wing talking heads were chortling at how dumb you'd have to be to think over 200K people would die from COVID I think there were estimates in March 2020 that if we did absolutely nothing, about 2 million would die from COVID. There were definitely a lot of people scoffing at that number, but it definitely looks accurate now, maybe even under estimating.

He should have board slid across the peak of that roof  Someone mentioned Vox Machina in here a few days ago and I gotta say, it’s a pretty charming and enjoyable show to kill 30 minutes on. Watching today’s new episode and then I’m going to check out Reacher, and then some Olympics stuff.

just finally getting around to watching the opening ceremony for the olympics and holy poo poo NBC is going so hard doing counter american propaganda for this poo poo. the chinese are loving passing a flag and they're like "this is a traditional flag pass used to demonstrate diversity and inclusion among china's ethnic groups but as we know," and then launching into a diatribe about Uyghurs. they loving prepped the whole opening ceremony with "this is going to have lots of state propaganda". i'd love to ever see that warning on any american broadcast.

Also pizza / baking goons - I'm making a sheet pan pizza tomorrow, doing the 24 hour proofing method. I didn't realise I didn't have normal bread flour but wholewheat. Normally its a 75% hydration dough do I need to adjust my ratio at all or do anything different.
