[00:24:45] <AzumaHazuki> ahhh, good noms <3 i've reached babushka-level cooking in some sense, i.e., just do stuff by intuition and it works
[00:44:25] <c0lo> Had some homemade pizza by intuition last evening. 3 mins too late out from the oven, the crust was a bit crispy, but it was delicious. Pizza is definitely amenable to intuition.

[19:38:38] <AzumaHazuki> that stupid fucking hospital lost 6 people, didn't hire anyone new, me and a few others burned out, and now i hear the manager's just randomly term'ing people and clogging the union up with wrongful termination cases. fuck that. I'm out.

[21:23:41] <requerdanos> among those I come into contact with, it's not at all uncommon to find people who eat *every day*, even multiple times per day
[21:38:14] <raxas> anyway, in more advanced cultures, both cooking and pharmacy is alchemy. that's a fair craft. just a rank below smelting and smithing, metallurgy
[21:46:02] <AzumaHazuki> i've always seen a connection between them and tend to cook in ways that benefit health
[21:46:28] <AzumaHazuki> generally rather low-glycemic, lots of functional foods like turmeric+black pepper or ginger

[21:50:00] <AzumaHazuki> these large groups like hospital pharmacies may just be innately toxic and self-destructive. maybe i should keep to smaller outfits for my own sanity
[21:50:29] <AzumaHazuki> it's bizarre how management at these places does the exact worst things at the exact worst times to keep the place going. i refuse to stick around after what i saw
[21:50:31] <requerdanos> Probably depends on who you get for pharmacist(s) in that case
[21:50:56] <AzumaHazuki> it does, yes. i kinda like the idea of the vegetarian co-op place. i've been there a few times and the staff makes me look normal
[21:51:30] <AzumaHazuki> there's this one person who's very clearly in the early stages of MtF transition and is already dressing the part (and those nails, eek!) and no one gives them a second glance.
[21:53:07] <requerdanos> Why can't they just be crossdressing?
[21:54:38] <AzumaHazuki> the pronouns are listed on the tag >>;
[21:54:47] <requerdanos> good answer.
[21:55:29] <AzumaHazuki> there's a couple of very very very crunchy types in there. compared to that, "giant looming skinny Wednesda Addams in glasses with a bad coffee habit" looks practically conservative
[22:29:59] <FatPhil> TBH, after posting the url to the REM, it wasn;t as good as I remember. However, /Falling Down/ was, at the same general time, absolutely spot on.
