Pizzas came out pretty well! All of them came out edible and not burned to a crisp. Not circular by any means, but tasty. At least, I thought they were tasty; I think my family was expecting New York style, unaware that I was taking the first step on a journey towards the perfect Neapolitan pie. Ingrates :argh:







These look tasty! If you want your edges not to come out so puffy, try spreading the sauce and the toppings out closer to the edge. You only need about an inch of space between the edges and the toppings to make a good pizza bone.

Apparently got a 100k hour probe for promising to sell something, but then not delivering after payment.

What makes it extra heartbreaking is the number of us who sent him money to help him out. Ultimately this hope he’s not in some real bad place. People do stupid stupid poo poo sometimes.

I remember several of us trying to give him a heads up he was gonna get perma'd in the GDT where he was actively posting and he just kept on posting about some sunday night football game or something and never said a thing.

He had to get that last post in I guess.

Every New Year's my mom likes to tell me not to eat anything on the day like chicken that scratches backwards, because you're supposed to move forward into the new year or whatever. Is eating leftovers on New Year's Day also bad luck? :v:

He asked his closest internet friends for rent money with lots of sweet promises to pay it all back and then jetted. Scumbag poo poo.

Don't really want to go much into it since it's like ten years ago but nah, he was asking people for loans so he could keep his lights on or whatever then never paid any of it back. You're thinking of public works project

I think he might have been a Falcons fan so he would have gone away on his own anyway possibly. That's the only thing I remember about him and I'm not 100% sure on that, other than he wasn't obviously a jerk most of the time.

Er, when he wasn't stealing money from people I mean.

Hopefully Timby gets the stuff worked out and is ok. Looks like if he pays the guy back then the probe will be lifted. If not... well, so long Timby

I should have quoted you when I replied instead of assuming I'd be the first reply. pwp is the guy who ran off with the fantasy money and when it came to light he just never posted again. Didn't even eat a probe or ban or anything, just vanished

I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just some QB that I used to know
While I can't weigh in on other stuff, I will say Timby's medical issues were real. I talked to him about various issues, treatment plans etc on the phone a couple times. Medical debt coupled with chronic pain and illness can drive the best people to dark places. Not trying to stick up for him, but am trying to give some context and maybe explanation as to why whatever happened, happened.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed shitposting.
I gave him some money, but I never thought it was a loan, and from what other people posted in the previous incarnation of this thread it didn't sound like y'all were expecting a payback. The linked post in the probe is him selling something, so I'm guessing he never sent the thing he sold and also didn't refund it.

Finally saw Matrix 2,3, and 4 yesterday and today. They’re all pretty bad. Original Matrix is still pretty good though.

Lukewarm take: seeing them all in a row, I think the second (Reloaded) is actually the worst. It’s a real double-whammy of lame action setpieces and nothing of consequence happening.

Yeah the 2nd one really suffered from having to set up the trilogy's final movie, over done CGI and not really knowing what to do with the character once he became 'the one' 4 was just bad from start to finish but the action at the end was kind of decent.

The 3rd one had some good set pieces from what I remember but I'd rather not watch it again to remind myself it sucks and be happy with my memories of it.

The Zion seige in 3 is endless, features a bunch of characters you don’t care about, and is just generally overcrowded visual puke.

I kind of enjoyed the meta aspects of 4 in the first act, but they don’t really go anywhere.
