I don't know... while the pan does have the curved sides for more effective whisking of said custard, I would be more concerned that the wider surface area would up the risk of the eggs curdling, proper heat management and paying attention should fix that, but it seems like an unnecessary risk.

Or $20 bucks and bag of candy.

There would be too much drag otherwise.

What I am getting at is what if that second viewpoint is ranking things based on how it impacts them rather than you? Because they are your friend, you may also be blind to how their votes may not be in your best interest.

I don't know if having a friend vote is totally required, since they may not know/care about each expense's purpose and may even vote in their self-interest.

I still don't understand 1) Why no one had looted said pudding, and 2) Who the fuck keeps an industrial sized container of pudding in the house? Is that a southern thing?

Nice, so many people neglect the importance of the egg in custards. I blame the fucking English for tricking people into thinking cornstarch thickened milk is the same as custard.

Should we be celebrating the poutine since it will clearly shorten their lifespans? It's fucking fries, gravy, and cheese.

It is like "50 Shades of Grey" for the elementary school teacher.

Damnit Murray, this is why we can't have nice things.

Ellen is Juggernaut? Does that mean Rosie is the Incredible Hulk?

They aren't, this is all the jewelry store's promotion, so they went out and bought the consoles to convince people to buy at full price (rather than have a sale). TJ Max did a similar thing a few years back (when Jobs was still alive) by offering a few iPads on Black Friday. Apple was not amused since they were not…

For all we know, it involved a blood sacrifice of a superior and the VP just happened to have a prime offering.

Only if he is holding a newspaper, then it is "pray for death" time.

If I recall, when 38 Studios (or whatever it was called) went under, Irrational was one of the studios that went searching for talent. After all the problems they went through (such as not being paid, finding out they still owed on their former homes, etc.) I bet they are even harder hit to be out of work again and…

The problem with those recruiting days is that they won't necessarily be staffing for just local positions, so you may be given the choices of stay and be unemployed or uproot your entire life (even harder if you have family and such) for a job that may very well not last/work out for you.

I would imagine their strict standards of professional dress would allow it.

Getting paid for a job that goes nowhere may not be great but getting stiffed on a project that actually generates money sucks way more.

It isn't just in games, pretty much every industry works that way. When you're small you can't compete with the big guys so you need to make a name for yourself anyway you can. The big guys have a fiscal responsibility to their shareholders and their own company to minimize the losses, so R&D is put on the back burner.

I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't for lack of talent but for some other reason.
