Is anyone else working really really hard for really great pay today or is it just me?

I'm working moderately hard for great pay. I might upgrade it to kinda hard later in the day.

went to the hipster beer shop today and it turns out it's not hipster at all. bought a growler of beavertown neck oil and a belgian beer called delirium tremens. it all cost £££ but is a very nice shop and they have a huge selection so will definitely go back.

my evenings sorted :getin:

All the Delirium is really good, that an Saison Dupont are my Belgian beers of choice.

Also I'm afraid the shop you went into sold growlers and therefore is a hipster shop, it's you, you're the hipster.

I like beavertown. More accurately, I like their can art. It's pretty.

I've got mixed feelings about Beavertown beer, the Gamma Ray is good though.

You do drink growlers of craft beer though, so the evidence is against you on this.

Tbf if you really wanted you could probably do that with briteggs too.

Relevant sort of to paychat: was looking into getting a new (very old, very used) car (dogvehicle) yesterday. Can afford the car but I sure as poo poo can't afford the 2k/yr insurance :suicide:

Have you considered not just driving into things all the time?

I just drove a low powered car for a few years till I had a decent no-claims, are you trying to buy some sort of rocketship?

Hey when you're rocking 998cc of raw Japanese power blazing from 0-60 in just 13.7s you are going have to pay out on insurance.

Yeah you are right it is insane how much young drivers are charged.
It was my first car when I was 22 and that was the cheapest on all the various comparison websites.

Jesus christ. Honda Civic was my first car when I was 22 as well and the insurance was like £600 for the first year I think. (though I can't remember exactly on account of it being so long ago :( )

Cov drivers are pretty terrible all round which is why I use a dashcam

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69flEwKTCHI For example.

Do you run a helmet cam when cycling?
I'd be curious to see how frightening it is.

I used to drive a BMW and I can confirm all BMW drivers are cunts.

I have considered a helmet cam but the streets of Edinburgh are only a step away from a ploughed field so it would just be shakey cam all the way.

i went to aldi before work to get some shopping and the woman in the queue at the till in front of me had a 2 litre bottle of cider and nothing else

We've solved this in Scotland by saying you cannot buy alcohol before 10am. That's why we have no alcoholics anymore

Vitamins posted:

So how long are the queues at 9.59?

You'd be surprised how few alcoholics are early risers. I mean even if they were they can go to the pub at 6am, just not buy a carry out till 10, then they only have 12 hours to buy as you can't buy after 10pm.

Nor buy booze in a bar or club after 3am. I had to register at a casino last time I was up there, they really don't want night workers to have a drink after their shift.

It's the festival now though so you can drink pretty much whenever now, woop woop, cultured people cannot drink too much clearly.

That's a lot of park runs, the Edinburgh Park run is totally flat so it's a nice little jaunt. I really need to run more if I'm going to do this triathlon though.

It's an addiction problem. They are trying to get you hooked on it as well, like that guy you knew who just wanted someone to smoke crack with him.

Nah it's not like that at all, just try one run, just a short one and then you can never do it again.

Well just one more after that, you can't really tell until you've done it a few times of course ....

I did my first parkrun and was beaten by someone pushing a pram.

As was I, sprinted past me on the last 500m.

I've concluded I need to be able to run a 45-50 min 10km but my park run is still ~24 mins so perhaps in impossible dream for me, I'll just have to crush it on the bike.

The Big Taff Man posted:

Obviously all of that is based on appropriate training on the distances but theres no reason you shouldnt be able to both meet your goals with appropriate training

I just need to really build stamina, I've always been more of a sprinter than a distance runner. It's for the last leg of a tri so if I can get a decent ~50 min run time hopefully I can squeeze it in under an hour after the cycle.

Munchkin is fun once, maybe but then it's just trash as a game as you just play kingmaker for other people. You can't really win, you've just got to be the 3rd best to win. If you're lucky. Fluxx is an ok game but it pretty much entirely random when you win unless you play with the insufferable dicks who deliberately don't win so they can continue the rules 'fun'

Love Letter is a good game.
