You want a slug-related traumatizing story ? I had a cat with very long hairs, there was a cat door to the garden outside but usually he slept inside. One morning i wake up and feel the cat close to me in the bed, something very common. I start to pet him on the dark being half awake only. After some time i feel something wet in his belly fur, but as I'm half sleepy I don't react and keep petting him. Only after what was probably a long time, I realized that something is wrong, turn on the light and see a slug curled/trapped inside his fur, I was touching it with my hand for several minutes!

Je sais pas si c'est une hérésie car il suffit juste de changer le nom, mais je préfère les pattes "carbo" crème/lardon (champignons) que la vrai recette italienne. Bon il faut juste pas appeller ça "carbonara".

Sinon en vrai hérésie dont j'ai été temoin: j'ai une amie qui adore manger ses frites en les trempant dans du sorbet au citron.

I would say that willingness to exploit other, be selfish and have low ethic also play a big role.

Work related project was a library for curves representation (polynomial, bezier, and a lot of other types) in C++. I liked working on it for several reasons. First one is that I could finally start something from scratch after years of working on legacy code. No dependency on strange old library from the team, only mainstream libraries.

But mostly it was because I learned a lot on this project. I had to mix template programming, heavy use of polymorphism, python bindings of the c++ and serialization together. I had experience in all of this stuff already, but mixing everything together bring a lot of new troubles and you have to understand how it works more in deep to be able to solve them.

I'm not making "famous" open source package with thousands of download and used everywhere, but seeing this package still in use in several other projects (and not only in my initial team) even after I left the initial team feels good. One day someone from my new company recommended to use "my" library as dependency to solve one of our problem, without knowing that I was the author, saying that it was a good well written lib. That's a nice ego boost!

Lancer ! I did one short scenario (6 sessions IIRC) and the system and combat were a blast ! The story a little bit less, it was a homemade one for the GM. But apparently the published ones are quite good.

Yes, I'm trying different things everytime but the one I converged to is:

For 2 person,

  • 250gr meat
  • Half a shallot, diced as small as possible
  • 2 Garlic, crushed with salt
  • Handfull of toasted pine nuts
  • ~30gr truffle mozzarella, diced very small
  • Little bit of grated parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley
  • Olive oil
  • Salt, pepper

Cut the meat and mix everything in a very cold serving bowl. Then make two half sphere with hands to put in the plates, compress a little bit and then push the top with a big spoon to make a rounded "nest" for the egg yolk, add a pinch of salt in the egg. For the meat cut, i tried to translate from French but it's not working well. The best is to ask your butcher.

The original recipe calls for more shallot and some pickles. But i find it's too much "crunchy" vegetable and the additional taste distract from the meat taste.

Watching tv shows or Youtube too. But I'm limiting myself to one full episode. Or if YouTube, I select a video in the 20~30 minutes range so it will last for the whole meal + small break after. And then I stop.

It was some small QoL changes in the UI and menus, recommended by my friend who recommended me the game. I don't remember exactly the changes but there was nothing big added or changed in the gameplay

Water gets into my 2002 WV polo tail light assembly, corrodes connectors, short circuit one of the lamp.

Car still work perfectly fine, changing the corroded circuit with a wire and replacing the light myself cost less than 5€, making new joint in the assembly to avoid more water another 5€.

Fuck new cars, my city is now forbiding my car to go downtown and plan to extend the exclusion zone in the next year. It's only based on the age and type of motor, not on the real consumption/emission ... I will probably have to buy new car soon with all this crap.

Connect can do that. It hide all the posts from this instances and for the comments of people from this instance in another post it show "filtered comment from xxxx instance" with a button to show it.

Absolutely. Same with all the "competition " of fast eating or eating as much as possible.

Both of this happens a lot on tiktok and youtube also ...
