Just add water and voila, a nice crunchy snack. :lol:

Seriously, anyone use it?

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Lol...your funny.

Lack of sleep will make today fun. Ha ha

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Took nearly 2 hours to get to work. A new record. 16km.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Did you forget to turn the engine on? You literally scooted? ;)

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

It snowed.

City didnt plow or salt properly.

Semi trucks tried to go up hills covered in ice and snow and shut down the road forcing traffic onto side streets which were also gridlocked and snow covered.

Did not see one plow out during the entire commute.

Airport is a mess as well.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Apart from the odd 5 minute flurry I think we've been nearly 3 weeks without snow. The operators might have forgotten how the plows work, if they haven't seized up.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

You can be assured that when it does snow the plow guys will salt the road an insane amount and clear the road many times as they need to spend the unspent budget for snow clearance for the year.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I can well believe that. Spend it or lose it.

It used to happen in my DSS days but stopped somewhere around 1990.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Send some this way.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

It's probably the perfect snow for making snowmen and snowballs.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

It is..

Maintenance delay now.

Snow covered ramp caused an issue.

Snow sucks.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Last 2 flights are late.

If I am lucky home by 3am.

I have not had more then 5 hours sleep once this week. And I am feeling it tonight.

2 more days then off Monday and Tues and can sleep all day Monday...

Ha ha

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Don’t sleep! Go play in the snow!

I realise it's not as trendy as Sriracha or some Fukushima rated hot sauce but I think vinegar is an underrated condiment.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Especially malt vinegar.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Yes it has to be a malt vinegar, not this ridiculous non-brewed stuff which is basically coloured dilute acetic acid.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

And don't forget its medicinal qualities when combined with brown paper.

Only aspect of my job I dislike is being too old to fit in....lol

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

You know what? You have experience, perspective, context and most importantly, knowledge. So mentally, you just have go and tell them to naff themselves.

In a remarkable display of denial of the age we're in, I received a new Yellow Pages book at home last week.

Straight into the recycling. :(

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

:lol:
Even over here I can't remember the last time one was delivered. Somewhere around 2013 I reckon.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I dont dislike them well there is one I do...lol

Its just hard at times spending 50% of the day mostly alone as when almost everyone is 15 to 20 years younger we have little in common. A few have parents my age...lol

Maybe I just spend too much time at work...lol

I am here 4 to 5 days a week for 12.5 to 13.5 hours, so basicaly spend more waking time at work then home.. Only see my wife for 1 hour in the morning.

Maybe the lack of sleep is getting to me. Max is about 6 hours most nights.

I think you could insert many countries’ citizens into that video.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Sure you could, however this one is about Canada and was created by Canadian media.

A 2bed 2 bath condo in our building is for sale. 966sq feet.

And we are not even in a great area but its popular with the hipster crowd.

Maintenance fees are apparently $500/month.

There's a surprising amount of different species of penguins.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

The McVities species was my favourite penguin.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Am checking the less visited areas of our yard for a colony of an, as yet undiscovered, non-marine, Canadian species. Could be a few hundred thousand of the blighters.

Last night we went to dinner at a lovely Italian place and I was half way through a tiramisu when I had to go for a slash. After washing my hands, I discovered they had one of those new Dyson hand driers. It's a very weird sensation, not sure they're going to catch on. Anyone else had go on them?

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Might catch on. Which part of you were you drying?

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

That Dyson Ball cleaner is not what you think.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

For the price those things cost it bloody well should be. :nod:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I can heartily recommend 'No Name' Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings. One or other of the 454g/908g boxes always seems to be priced at $5/$10. A nice peppery kick. Comes with sauces but you don't need them.

They'll do in the absence of the crispy Village brand that Giant Tiger doesn't seem to sell anymore.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

My GT store has gone out of meat altogether. :( They still have frozen, just no more fresh beef or chicken, etc.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Make your own. Two tips; firstly, toss them in some baking powder, secondly, use some of that non-stick tin foil. Then just crank up the oven to 425/50 and jut turn them over every 15 mins. Crispy deliciousness.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I do occasionally, but they're ridiculously expensive for such scrappy things...almost as much as skinless boneless chicken breasts.

Superstore does 20 cooked wings for $10 about every three weeks and 10 minutes in the oven makes them really good.
