Clickbait ads these days:

Whatever that is - nope nope nope.

My personal digital transformation - to get ready for the next 25 years.

Listening to my kids use 'yeet', and 'yoink' in conversations high pitched and enthusiastic. It's so ROFL.

LOL

networkn: Which restaurant? How was it?

networkn:  Was at the food show today at a hot sauce place. Some of their stuff was scary and then they had their extra extra extra spicy stuff away from the public eye. This very old Indian lady comes along and is trying their usual hottest stuff,
Isn't even flinching, asks if they have real hot sauce. It made the guy prior to her who was bragging about his resistance to spice gag. She had about 10 times as much.

That would be Uncle Dunkle's. Posting it here because I'm guaranteed to have lost their card when I run out of hot sauce and want to order some.

I tried the hidden sauce (Mega Hot on their Website?). My lack of reaction may have caused the lady next to me, who wasn't trying them herself, to add a bottle of Extra Hot to her selection. I hope whoever she was buying for likes the heat.

Yup, that sounds about correct. One thing I liked about them was they made a point of saying that they ensure heat level doesn't overwhelm taste, which was fantastic. Sadly, whilst I don't mind hot sauces it's not something my body copes with afterward.

That one piqued my curiosity so I looked up the original Chinese. It's supposed to be "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", not "Eating Chicken Artifact" :)

But it's bizarre that the machine translation got it so wrong!

On the subject of technical verbosity, I have distant memories of the "piston barrel locking nut retainer plunger" * - a small part of a Bren gun (the little ball bearing you depressed to remove the barrel locking nut), and the most long-winded part name in the Army manual.

(from a 1942-vintage Army training manual)

* The longer version was: "spring mounted barrel locking nut retaining pin and plunger." - the smallest part with the longest name.  😶

Yeah, but it precisely describes the item in question. Like the German Rindfleischetikettierungsueberwachungsaufgabenuebertragungsgesetz, a law passed to deal with BSE issues whose name precisely describes what's being regulated by it.

 

Why didn't they just call it the "Beef labeling monitoring task transfer law"?  😏
