[Is it cold in here?]

Besides, I'm a Shanghai girl; it's expected.

Is there some stereotype I should(n't) know about? Are Shanghai women supposed to be judgmental, or fashion-conscious, or what?

Because of course we know that all twelve million of them are the same ...

One question does spring to mind about Faye's proposed activity is why does Dora let her keep a small machine shop in the back room?

Ok by the looks of it Faye has a setup there that does TIG and plasma-cutting.    More than likely MIG too if she has a spool-gun... and we'll assume STICK just because it's the QC-verse and they have laser-robots and space-ham...

So  just assuming TIG and plasma-cutting... she'd need at least 220 volt three-phase.  The shop has a heavy duty power supply based on those meters.     Plus the alley out back is somewhat fire resistant AND she's less likely to accidentally arc-blind people passing by.

Figure she keeps her machine in the store-room with a right angle grinder,  some hammers, and a few other metal-working tools. 

As you see,  it does make sense to run her artwork out back.   Not like you can do welding in an apartment!

You can, if you don't mind losing your security deposit.

[celticgeek]

Remember, though, Faye burned down an apartment building with a toaster.

[Is it cold in here?]

That's what she said, anyway.

[Zebediah]

That'll teach her to have sex with Cylons.

On a completely separate topic - someone wanna do the WCDT for next week? My work schedule for most of the rest of the summer may preclude me being able to do it every other weekend, for various reasons that I will not get into because a.) this is not DISCUSS and b.) it would not be of interest to 90% of the board.

*jumps up and down waving hand*
Ooh! Me, me! PMing as well. I'm not sure if I can do subsequent weeks, but next week definitely, and I can make the request if I too need someone else to take over.

Soon she'll have her little Conan

More a Red Sonja, but without the nastier parts of the backstory.

Besides, I'm a Shanghai girl; it's expected.

Is there some stereotype I should(n't) know about? Are Shanghai women supposed to be judgmental, or fashion-conscious, or what?

The stereotype is that Shanghai women are modern, stylish, fashion-conscious, and sexy; but also materialistic, high-maintenance, and ever-ready to use our "feminine wiles" to get what we want from those poor helpless men. In Shanghai dialect, these ideas are expressed in the words dia and zuo. There are lots of jokes about how Shanghai men are tai-pan tigers in business, but pussy-whipped wimps at home.

YMMV on how far I conform to the stereotype , but of course I also am a Sydney woman.

[Carl-E]

Shanghai girl / Sydney woman. 


There's a song in there somewhere...

[GarandMarine]

I'm thinking a Mid 70s rock track.

[Is it cold in here?]

For Akima's next zillion-hour intercontinental airplane ride, I inflict on her the ear worm
"she's a restless spirit on an endless flight
wooo hooo Sydney woman, see how
high she flies "

[Method of Madness]

Does Akima travel a lot?

[Is it cold in here?]

She's mentioned going to the US at least once.

[DSL]

She's right here, you know.

Ask Rod Stewart, perhaps?

And now I got Surrender (the one by Cheap Trick, not Billy Talent) stuck in my head. One of the few songs I can play reasonably well on Guitar Hero.

With the guitar turned the wrong way.

On easy mode.

You gotta start somewhere, okay?

But why start 20 paces back in the penalty zone? 

[Loki]

Because I am right-handed and have trouble playing the keys with my left hand.

[Method of Madness]

Do you put on lefty flip mode?

[Loki]

I don't remember. Maybe. I always played it at the mall where they used to have the consoles standing there to fix children up.

Now Sam needs "Years of tutelage under the German swordmaster Dietrich Himmelfeuer".

Spider Zone merchandise could be a thing.

Any idea what the context is for the thread on Twitter arguing about someone's joke?

Any idea what the context is for the thread on Twitter arguing about someone's joke?

 You mean this?:
 
 

wait did some bro seriously make a rape joke live at E3, hahaha burn the world.

 I didn't see all the presentations at E3, but according to the news it was at Microsoft's.

 

..."While showcasing the upcoming “Killer Instinct,” Microsoft brought out a woman to play against a male game producer, who taunted her by saying she should “let it happen, it’ll be over soon.”

“You have a fight stick!,” she said as he continued to beat her in the game.


“You like this!” he responded.

“No, I don’t like this!” she replied."

Previous basement ideas.

[K1dmor]

 Btw, wrong thread IICIH?  .

[Is it cold in here?]

?

Today's comic talks about plans for the basement. So does the tweet.

[GarandMarine]

This is last week's thread though.

I fail to see the relevance, but it's interesting to see that cultures with different food habits do this whole Erotic Eating thing as well.
