That was a good thing! It caused MS to develop C#, and I definitely prefer C# over Java.

Movies, to be shown in movie theaters, are products.
Whether one or a hundred persons view the movie does not affect the production cost of the movie. So it makes no sense to require the second and following viewers to pay a ticket to view the movie. Especially if they all view in in the same theater, which just sits there anyway.

Decided to make some ice cream today and rather than my usual Salted Caramel I thought I'd try a new recipe I found on the internet: Chocolate and Damson. My mouth was watering just thinking about it ...
So 200g of 70% chocolate, 3 tbsp of cocoa powder, 1 tps good vanilla extract, 500ml of double cream, a tin of condensed milk, all prepped together and into the ice cream maker at -23C for 30 minutes while I prep the damsons. Take the ice cream out of the machine read to transfer to the freezer tub and add the damsons ... and it's useless. Grainy, icy, and terrible. Tastes magnificent, but texture wise it's unusable.
Damn it! That was good chocolate and I've got a bowl of damson "jam" that's useless as well. Note to self: don't do anything expensive today ... it's going to fail.

Also problems over here making mango-cheesecake, the mango just was not ripe enough

I hope / assume / recommend un-alkalized cacao. Also heavy metals is a concern in case you are not previously aware. However post an even slight meal uptake is reduced to 4%.

If you had not given up drinking (alcohol), you could have turned that jam into some delicious damson vodka.

Vodka I preferred with lemon sorbet ice cream - If you haven't tried it, it's a really good combo!
The jam is a little too sweet - that's why I figured it would be good with a rich dark chocolate. Ho hum, back to the drawing board ...

And wtf does not apply to weird? This a semantic thing or do you think lesser of me for saying wtf when you think the proper response is "weird", with the lexical implication being I think it's gross due to the usage of wtf?
Btw, it is axiomatically gross on two levels: 1) the urine and 2) the young boys. Pretending something isn't gross isn't necessarily the hallmark trait of intellectual insight.
