After inadvertently spending most of my evening re-learning physics I've not touched in ~20 years and ultimately coming to the same answer as Helgoland, I'm very curious to know what the official answer/working is.

Nigeria, probably.
edit: or maybe Zimbabwe, I lose track of which had the worst currency crisis.

I email our accounts payable section to inform them I've receipted 3 invoices on 3 separate orders, meaning they should now be ready for payment.

I get a reply saying "Please receipt more." followed by a generic copypasta of 'helpful' info on how to receipt and who to talk to if I need help following the instructions.  No indication of which order they want me to "receipt more" on, how much more they want me to receipt, or why they want me to do that in the first place.

I email back with a single line email that says "How much receipt more?" - I should really have been more professional and formulated a proper reply, but I was just so bewildered by how vague they'd been and how they could possibly think that reply would accomplish anything at all that I couldn't help a little snark.

They reply with the same copypasta, nothing else.  As though maybe if I read the incredibly generic instructions that I've already followed and they've already sent me, somehow it'll all fall into place.  It didn't.

I reply with the email I should probably have sent the first time, explaining that I'm not sure which order/invoice they need me to receipt and why.

This time they're halfway helpful (it's a generic account monitored by many people, so maybe today was the competent staff's turn) and tell me the order number and invoice number and that it needs to be fully receipted.

I reply and explain that I can't fully receipt the order as I still need authorisation from the CA to receipt the other invoices matched to that order, but that in the meantime I have receipted a high enough value for the invoice I specified to be paid (per my original email).  This time I spell out exactly which invoices are on the order, what's already been paid, what's ready to be paid, what's not, which receipts I've carried out, and how one of those receipts has not yet been used and how it matches up with the invoice I'm asking them to pay.

They reply with the generic copypasta and no more instructions or information.


I don't really rage, ever, but god damn they're trying my patience.

So is anyone in a position to kill Helheim, or are we going to pool astral pearls to get rid of Burden of Time?

Helheim's in the process of being killed, just wanted to leave the world something to remember us by.

WHY does steam think that a few games are always doing their first startup? You must have installed the microsoft .NET framework fifty times by now you damn thing!

I'm sure there's a way to stop that, but I can't remember exactly what it was.  Maybe something about moving/deleting the files in the "redist" subfolder where the game's installed.  Possibly it varies depending on the game.

First thing I looked for was the 1(s) because I hadn't read any of the text and expect it was probably one of those tests to see if you notice the discrepancies (I expected there to be at least one more 1 that you'd maybe not notice after you spotted the first 1, thinking that's all there was to find).  Some sort of optical illusion maybe.

Then I read the text below, but I got bored and stopped after about 8 lines of it.  None of it is important or significant because it has no context beyond their tedious discussion.

On the photo, I saw a girl/young woman on a horse.  I checked to make sure there wasn't something in the background that I was meant to miss (and considered mentioning the trees and the water and the pattern on the horse and the nail varnish and so on and so forth) because I was too busy looking at the girl/young woman on the horse.  It never entered my mind that the test might be which of the two I used to describe the photo until I read the explanation.  Even now I've read that, I still have trouble imagining anyone describing it as just a photo of a horse, or just a photo of a girl (unless they were doing so specifically to make a point, I suppose).

I'm still a little hazy on the point of the thread, other than just to point out that different people place significance on different things and make different decisions / form different opinions as a result, but I'm guessing there must be more to it than that.

Makeshift crowbars are good, except they don't let you block.  S'why I liked the 2-by-sword, it has similar (slightly inferior) stats, but the blocking is a godsend.
