That's fine, I've never heard most of those so it seems I was raised right

Also from the wiki:

quote:

However the complexity of the issue of the listing and usage of such terms needs to be noted. For instance, many of the terms listed below (such as "Gringo", "Yank", etc.) are used by large numbers of human beings in many parts of the world as part of their ordinary speech or thinking without any intention of causing offence, and with little or no evidence that such usage does in fact cause much offence.

Speaking of gin and tonic, anyone ever try american gin as opposed to london dry? My sister gifted my dad with some, and it is definitely not something I like. I don't like the taste of juniper much, but london gin with tonic is great. American gin is way less juniper and way more herbal and flowery, not so good with tonic.

It just tastes like pine tree to me. I'm not a big fan of beer but I once had a sam adams with juniper infused flavor, and it was like a double negative. Except it didn't even out it just made it worse.

fake edit: jesus christ, 62 of those were in regular use by my family when I was growing up. A handful of them weren't offensive for the time/audience, but the rest definitely were. And I know I can add a pile to that list.

I just found out that one of my friends has become an "Ethical Vegan" because apparently farming animals has too much of an impact on the world.

I dont know how to break it to her the sheer amount of wasteful killing that goes on farming the poo poo vegans eat- soybeans, peas etc. Murder every bird that comes near em and leave em to rot on the ground. Not to mention the pesticides sprayed all over that poo poo, or the impact on 3rd world countries that the "Superfood" movement is causing- Quinoa is a great example.

I just dont know if i can be friends with a vegan?

Brother and his partner were just over. They just had to make the choice to have their dog put down. 17yr old fuzzball that was totally blind, totally deaf but ended up with kidney failure.

I was in the middle of cooking a roast for dinner, so it was simply a case of adding more veg and slicing the lamb thinner so we ended up with myself and my missus, the house mate, mum n dad and my brother and his missus for dinner on a monday.

I'll drop everything for family to help out, and this gave them a chance to do some grieving with family and not have to worry about dinner, but oh dear god ive stood in front of the stove for about 4hrs now and my feet feel like someone has been driving hot nails into them.


Not a good month for doggo's. Parents border collie went to sleep in the sun a few weeks ago and never woke up. He was 12.

Back in the day, we had a guy who filed a service ticket for "new hard drive," but he already had the then-immense maximum of what we could provide, 30GB x 3. If he wanted any more we'd have to knock the CD drive off his machine or figure out an external thing.

So we sent one of the guys to go help him clean out his machine.

Yeah, dude had filled up all three drives with highly organized pornography. And considering the period, it must have been mostly still images.

You don't work in an SCCM managed environment, do you? I do, and I regularly see windows installs approaching 50Gb (the trick is to store at least three copies of every update/package.) The switch came right after we upgraded a lot of our bottom tier PCs with 64GB SSDs. :negative:
