Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I do 23:01. (Actually more 23.5:00.5)
Wild animals eat once a day, sometime less.
I prefer keeping it as daily routine, like prayer.
I easily did a 2 day fast when I was in the hospital, 2 years ago, but it’s actually because I would not eat that industrial crap they kept bringing me.
I also remember a transatlantic flight years ago: The staff was so afraid I’d collapse because I refused their trays, they offered me anything I’d eat, so I spent the night eating bits of Swiss butter and sipping Ticino Merlot wine (it was a Swiss flight) whilst reading that fabulous book: Symmetry: A Journey into the Patterns of Nature by Marcus du Sautoy.
Just keep in mind this Frank Zappa Wisdom:
Wasn’t Zappa talking about boobs?
I know plenty about Zappa for sure, but the context of this quote I don’t 🤭
I make Parmesan crisps in the oven when I want some chips. You just get a wedge of parm (because the pre-grated kind has additives and doesn’t do as well) and grate it and put little mounds of it on parchment and bake. I do 425 for about 5 mins. You can add seasonings. Pepper, herbs, whatever. They’re very good. Just watch the oven so they don’t burn.
Fat is our brain’s fuel. Look how they boast about their fat bombs on r/keto… actually just a shot of espresso with a spoonful of coco virgin oil.
Grass-fed cow’s butter is better.
