Which is especially delightful given that there were suspicions the SARS epidemic was kicked off through improper hygiene around kitchen preparation of civets; specifically, the handling of their intestines/excrement.

[King Zultan]

But is the Kopi Luwak so good it's worth the potential SARS, also holy shit I didn't think anyone would pay those kinds of prices for something a rat shit out.



Also I read the article and found this at the bottom.

The Japanese manga series Beastars features an anthropomorphic civet character that produces kopi luwak.[39]

Not sure why then needed to include this at the bottom but this seems wrong on many levels, what the fuck Japan?

[Kagus]

I mean, it also includes a chicken who's obsessed with laying the best, freshest, highest-quality eggs for the school's egg sandwiches that she proudly watches everyone eat.

Not to mention, y'know, one of the main characters who has a kink for being brutally murdered and eaten.


Beastars is kinda messed up.

[King Zultan]

I have never read the books or watched the show, but from the that thing I found and what you said it sounds like Beastars is kind of fucked up, and I feel the what the fuck Japan comment is warranted even more now.


Also is it like Zootopia but the people that wrote it were all on drugs?

floorless streak has been interrupted, grandparent on floor again

hadn't had to call for help on this one (my back's fucked up, the only way I can get this one off the floor alone is if i put myself on it afterwards, and even then it's not a guarantee) since december

was bound to start up again at some point but you always kinda' hope it'll wait just a bit longer

though they seem to be okay, physically, nurse coming by later to make sure, so it could be worse on several levels

I’m watching the new Resident Evil and the main character says  “I mostly read Zootopia porn”
Also Albert Wesker says “ I want pornhub to shred your resume”

jesus i've been working for twenty minutes and I already want to start throwing stuff

'this is not a valid defect as you did this on a change order and it only works on new install orders'

Well gee howdy it sure would be handy if this was specified somewhere, namely, I don't know, the acceptance criteria I'm supposed to be testing against? Developers doing the sheer minimum effort with product design means I'm doing work and rework and rework and rework. It's still broken anyways according to how they wrote it.

Or when I ask 'okay, so what work was done with this ticket? Am I testing XYZ?' and get back 'No, XYZ already does ABC, we need to look at how XYZ can or should do DEF but that's in another ticket.'

'okay but what am I testing in this one'

augh

In other news, we got some torrential rain last night and I'm worried that it'll be a swamp/swimming pool in the trunk of my car since the trunk is all misaligned and crunched from when it got hit on sunday. I wonder if insurance covers 'water damage while waiting for the auto body shop to get parts' or if I just need to Be Less Millennial and have a garage for these kings of things.

[Dunamisdeos]

You could use a tarp! Put a tarp over that thing.

[None]

It's at the shop now, nice and garaged over while it gets torn apart. It's the auto body shop's swamp for now.

Yeah so far I've watched the first episode and part of the second, and the central theme seems to be "The main character is an absolute piece of human garbage, and also should not suffer any consequences to themselves under any circumstances".

It's some high-end cringe so far. Willing to give it a few more episodes in case they are leading into something. Lance Riddick is a pretty cool actor, though.

[TamerVirus]

I forced myself through a couple more episodes, but the show pretty much meanders back and forth between "CW teen drama timeline" and "Generic post-apocalypse zombie timeline" while it throws in a few hints and nods to remind people that it's Resident Evil (Ooooooo you mentioned William Birkin!) but it otherwise feels like it could have been any other generic zombie story.

Very bold/very stupid to make one the main girls a Billie Eilish reference (She's got her hair style! She's introduced listening to Billie Eilish! Her name is Billie!)

The first episode is awful, so I'm not surprised many people immediately dropped it.

[McTraveller]

Most trunks actually do have drain holes, but they don't drain very quickly.

Sounds like the writers of that show are dumb; when you put too many period-specific cultural references in them, they become "not timeless" shows/movies whatever.  I suppose pornhub is kind of self explanatory, but Zootopia probably isn't, other than it has something to do with animals.

[Dunamisdeos]

So look, spoilers for this shit show, but cmon. You know you don't care.

In the first episode her sister has a bully. Her sister is like yo, I want to handle this like a reasonable person and try to talk to the girl. It's not going well. The MC proceeds to disguise themselves, corner and beat the shit out of the bully while she's in a school bathroom stall, then meticulously FRAME HER SISTER FOR IT, who has no idea what the hell is going on until they get called out of class and find evidence planted by the MC (their own sister) in their locker. The end implication seems to be... that everyone should have cheered for the MC and their actions, but didn't? That it's unfair for anyone to be upset at the MC? Is this written by actual sociopaths? It's also implied that this isn't the first time she's done this to her sister against her explicit wishes.
 
This is also the scene in which their father uses his corporate position to threaten the beaten girl's (the bully's)  father so that the issue is dropped. So far literally everyone that comes anywhere near the MC is horribly affected by her actions while she prances off to the next set piece. I can only hope this is like, an MC fakeout and she dies/is revealed as the villain next episode.

That’s probably a reference to Billy in Resident Evil 0, actually, if the propensity for references is anything to go by. Episode 5 is choc-a-bloc with them. I think Jade might be named after/for Jake from Resi 6, though I haven’t played beyond 4.

The references are the only reason I’m still watching it, really.

[King Zultan]

When did they make a Resident Evil show, I guess I'm out of the loop on this kind of thing.
