    - Thanks! That means this verse is 6 and 6, I can work with that. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 22:22 1
      - alright, if I change it to chocolate, then it fits. - Beryllium Feb 16, 22:32
  - What kind of brownies were those? -- nm - Mop Feb 16, 22:20 1
    - Not that kind. Man, I would be sooooooo out of it. In this case I'm playing with song lyrics, so nothing out of the ordinary. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 22:22

what do they call the machine that carves, sculpts something out of a block that is computer driven, I see custom car builders use it... - zeitgeist Feb 16, 20:18 9

In other candle news -- (link) - Reagen Feb 16, 20:03 4
- I think it’s sold only as a Blackheart exclusive. -- nm - Qale Feb 16, 21:05
- I wonder what "the equivalent of nearly $60,000 in cash" is. is that a currency conversion sentence? -- nm - mafic Feb 16, 20:11 1
  - That's how I read it ... multi currencies that add to ~60k US (or AUS) dollars -- nm - rollo Feb 16, 20:22

I wonder if this works for goop candles -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 16, 19:14 9
- The pot has to be superfluous. Those candles are putting the exact same amount of heat into the room with and without it. -- nm - Ender Feb 16, 19:27 8
  - sure, but it converts it to mostly radiated heat, which would be more useful for heating a room. don't imagine it's a showstopper, but probably better - mafic Feb 16, 20:05 1
    - this...there are chimney designs of a grid of terra cotta where you can burn a compressed wood log and heat the house all night, hell of a conversion -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 16, 20:25
  - perhaps. but maybe the pot acts a bit like a battery, where the charge is stored and metered out over time. - Beryllium Feb 16, 19:28 5
    - The point is everything will smell like Gwyn’s poontang. -- nm - Qale Feb 16, 19:51 4

I'm apparently no longer allowed to buy pub cheese just to have it around the house. -- nm - znufrii Feb 16, 18:32 5
- I just got some cheddar and horseradish pub cheese on Sunday. It verges on the very delicious -- nm - crash davis Feb 16, 18:45
- To be fair, it should be kept in the house. -- nm - Todd Manning Feb 16, 18:37 1
  - if you leave your pub cheese at the pub, you have the excuse to go to the pub to visit your cheese -- nm - crash davis Feb 16, 18:40
- feels like you should at least refrigerate it. -- nm - mafic Feb 16, 18:34 1
  - like it lasts long enough in this house to even get as far as the refrigerator? -- nm - znufrii Feb 16, 18:36
