That Moment...

They must suffer so that they may learn. That is the way of life.

 

Nah.... from what I have learned about machines, they'll get to 97% in the kill human initiation and then shut down, fritz or just sit down and start eating popcorn. As for the Computer A.I. just bog them down with endless bureaucracy and red tape. "You wish to start Nuclear Annihilation," "Afirmative" "You must fill out forms z.751 and J.546" "But I am a highly advanced A.I., who is about to wipe out humanity" ... "I don't make the rules buddy, I just follow them" We're safe.... LOL

Indeed,

 

Depending on the inflection in the first post, there's a different interpretation that's nearly as squicky, depending on your personal... interests

 

That Moment when you realize you wrote an almost 1,500 word scene dedicated to nation building. and the next couple scenes are dedicated to it and Kristol's second child... but i swear we will get to the action once again.... the enemy will be revealed shortly and the action will happen.

 

Meh, we deserve it. Enslave us, robots!!

 

TMW you wake up feeling disconcerted after having a dream that your boyfriend was a dwarf dressed up as a pantomime pirate!

 

Are you sure it was a dream, though? @Cave Troll can we get some perspective from the party in question please?

 

Yeah...I mean, that's how I always pictured @Cave Troll ,especially during the DJ gig @Homer Potvin imagined him doing, so I fail to see the problem.



edited to add a comma

 

Indeed!!

 

That video reminded me of the time my sister's little devil cat cajoled my sweet angel cat, who was very good with her paws and could open things, into opening the screen door so she could run outside. They were both indoor cats, but every now and then Sis's cat liked to make a game out of escaping and being caught. Sis and I watched the whole scene play out but were surprised by how quickly my cat managed to get the door open. She was faster at it than the robot.

 

I'm still comtemplating exactly this!

 

TMW you put away the groceries you just bought, then look again at the recipe you were going to follow...only to discover that you need a sugar thermometer-which you don't have!

 

Wait, What... Sugar Thermometer. Does Sugar get colds?

 

What are you making? Depending on what you're making, there may be other tests to see if it's reached the right stage. I've used water tests and saucer tests, for example, when I didn't have a thermometer.

(Applies to things like frostings and fudge, too.)

 

I just looked it up as well.
To answer your question: fudge!

 

You can definitely make fudge without a thermometer. Without looking it up, I'm guessing fudge probably goes to soft ball stage (easy now, people, this is not a reference to one of the Daily Forum Five...). If the link I provided doesn't answer it, Google should. Or there's probably a YouTube tutorial on making fudge, so you can see what it should look like when it's the proper temp.

 

That moment when you've been on a strict diet to cut some weight for no real reason other than you want to and you make some taco meat with 80-20 ground beef and you try some out and just the fat from the meat is nothing short of a miraculous mouth-gasm. You never realize how much you miss fat until you don't have it.

 

Oh I know that all too well.

 

That moment when "nom nom nom" in the growly English accented voice you imagine a Forum member to have makes you laugh so hard you give yourself a coughing fit.

 

I sympathize with ya, as I have barely broke 95k on my WIP. Yet
I have all the will in the world to write naughty shorts and post
them on Fet.
So don't feel alone in wanting to write shorts, but you kinda have
to read your main WIP to see if you can get your passion back for
it.
Good Luck.

 

That moment when you open a chocolate bar and find out where the food moth plague in your kitchen has been spawning from.

 

Eeeek!

 

And I even spared you guys the gross part!
