We blocked China to cut down dramatically on spam a while back but now for some reason the Russians have taken interest in our site so I'm contemplating blocking Russia too.
Sorry about that. Pretty sure I'm the reason the Eye of Sauron has turned its baleful gaze on F13. I leave in exactly two months (first week of May). Nuke it then!

Just ask yourself: what sort of person decides to join a web forum in 2017?

It's too late know, but that bread discussion would have been more insightful if everyone had shown pics of their bread. Going by description ("it's light") isn't so helpful without a frame of reference.
This is the bread I bake at home, complete with artisan paper bag for when I give it away, which is most of the time. (And this pic reminds me I need to work on my bakery website...)

It might just be the angle of the picture but it looks like we need to get you a better lame.

It is literally a razor blade, usually bent so it's curved, on a stick, used for scoring bread (lame == blade in French) I was basically making a snide inside comment about how the loaf in his picture lacks well defined edges or "ears" along the scores.

Cool, (very) lucky story of the day (started to write the long version, but hey, who cares :P):
Had €60 sitting on my PokerStars account for, like, FOREVER: decided to bet online (I also never bet in any betting office) for the first time in my life this evening on Napoli-Real Madrid (soccer, final result) at half time, when Napoli was leading 1-0. My bet: 1-3. At the end of injury time in the second half, Real Madrid scores its third goal.
I win €1560
The end.

Trading in the Lexus. Leasing a Jaguar F-Pace Prestige.
It has Wifi and separate air-conditioners for your ass and back.
After 10 minutes in it my legs were cold for like an hour.
It's the real deal. Also, car is sick.

Just found out that in Laos the previous ambassador banned all American staff from riding two wheel vehicles, because several people got into accidents on their scooters (and its still in effect). I wanted to ride along the Mekong river on my sick ass scooter like a local dammit!

We used to have scooters all over our site for travel to and from buildings (mile long buildings made it a necessary thing in the days before electric vehicles). Apparently a grad student was posing on one without permission one day, then fell over with a non-serious injury requiring a trip to medical to get it cleaned up (and subsequently reported to the sponsor). Upper management issued a ban on ALL motorized 2 wheel vehicles site-wide, made it an employment termination offense if caught on one, and rounded up all of the scooters on site & had them scrapped. The buffoon behind the ban almost included motorcycles in said ban except he rode one himself... The same guy also made it a firing offense to leave a set of keys in the ignition of any car (running or not) if you weren't sitting in the drivers seat with your seat belt on.
Never underestimate the power of management to make stupid decisions.

Fuck the police, coming straight from the underground.

As someone who decided at an early age that I was going to drive an XJS one day, the idea of a Jaguar SUV makes me sad.

Because I read the fine print in things for fun, I got a kick out of a recent life insurance offer from my credit union. Under exceptions, there was a paragraph about suicide, something like...
"The policy shall be void if the cause of death is suicide within two years (one year in North Dakota) from when the policy goes into effect."
Fucking North Dakota. Nobody can be expected to last much longer than a year without killing themselves.

Have you ever been there? I'm surprised it's a full year. The last time I did anything more than drive through, I learned that hanging out at the local cemetery was actually one of the things to do. I think it had to do with the townspeople envying the dead.
