Sententia Posted June 1, 2013 I'll share with you an incredible recipe for pancakes for your fancy celebration breakfast! My sister graduated from the Culinary Institue of America, coincidentally known as the CIA, one of the top cooking schools in the world and she taught me how to perfectly immitate this recipe, so these are literally world-class pancakes. 1. use milk instead of water, plus one egg per person cooking for 2. once the mix is at the right consistency, add copious amounts of vanilla extract and ground cinnamon 3. if you want, throw some frozen blueberries onto the pan in the spot you pour the pancake mix, before you put the mix down 4. put the mix in and keep a careful eye, cook on medium or lower depending how hot your stove's medium is 5. when finished, pour syrup all over the top of the pancake, spread it in with a knife, pour more, repeat this step as you like 6. spray whipped cream, covering the entire top of the pancake 7. sprinkle chocolate shavings on top of the whipped cream It's not super expensive, you can find all this stuff in a usual grocery store and you can create the chocolate shavings yourself.

Colourful Stuff Posted June 1, 2013 Arrrrg, parents! Today is moving day. I'm supposed to be leaving Aberystwyth for my mum's house near Liverpool until me and my partner find jobs and a flat. She is supposedly coming with me, unfortunately she failed to effectively communicate this to the family. A romantic gesture of buying one last coffee and cannolis from our favourite coffee shop turned into a confrontation with them as they turned up unexpectedly to take her back to rural Wales. Kill me!

elmuerte Posted June 1, 2013 Sure, the milk doesn't do much, does add some flavor, but other than that it's it's mostly water Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tegan Posted June 1, 2013 I was supposed to go to an LGBT support group with my friend today, but I chickened out. I haven't really been taking my antidepressants lately. The new ones they gave me last time made me throw up and the old ones don't do anything. I feel terrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted June 1, 2013 Nice, but was there a point to using oak other than an oak quadrocopter being a cool thing? I guess it's easier to modify than styrofoam. It was just what he had to hand in the absence of any suitable aluminium struts. I wonder why the rotor-blades are not shielded on the sides in any way - has it something to do with aerodynamics (or how you call the involved physics)? I think it's just that shielding is another thing to build, so it's easier (and dumber) to not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merus Posted June 2, 2013 My brother's in the hospital in critical condition. He was assaulted last night and hit his head really badly when he fell unconscious. There is damage to the brain. He's going to live, but at this point we don't know whether the damage will be permanent. We'll know by the end of the week. He's responding to stimuli, so that's good. The police are taking the matter very seriously and are going through CCTV footage. We've been interviewed by the media (everyone should have the opportunity to witness the artifice of TV first-hand). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SecretAsianMan Posted June 2, 2013 Geez. Was there any reason for the assault or was it simply a random crime? Either way, I wish you the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Merus Posted June 2, 2013 Geez. Was there any reason for the assault or was it simply a random crime? Either way, I wish you the best. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time, from what his friends said. No provocation. There's plenty of CCTV footage so hopefully I'll get to see it.

tegan Posted June 4, 2013 Aw geez, Merus, that's awful. I hope he's okay. Today I decided to try buying a $35 window-mounted dual fan instead of going for a $200+ AC unit. So glad I tried this first. It works surprisingly well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merus Posted June 4, 2013 It sounds like my brother's going to be moved to the normal wards today, he's recovered very quickly. It's become a big story here, we had a press conference yesterday. It sounds like the people responsible are turning themselves in after seeing them plastered all over the news last night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
