Your destiny is sealed, Jopax. An undeniable fate approaches. From this day forward, you are forever doomed to paint her muscular form like one of your French girls.

That would make for a pretty awesome artsy movie. Throw in a few bits about your region's violent and traumatic past, maybe have her be from a different ethnicity than you, add in a couple flare-ups of political violence... It'll be running on Arte in no time.

Hey! You forgot the obligatory cancer!

And then the war began

And, alas, she's your lost sister.

But then, as all seems lost, it's revealed that you were actually adopted by her parents!

If he can paint, he can send her pictures of paintings of her sporting events painted based on pictures he took at said sporting events.

I don't know if this is referencing something (European thing?) but this movie sounds like a must-buy for reasons.  Best romcom since Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

I got the *Titanic* reference, thank you though

But some of what Helgoland said sounded kinda specific, like describing a genre of arty films maybe.

There is a lot of salt in my water bottle, according to the ingredients/nutritional information.

Way too much.

Is it a sports drink?

[BlackFlyme]

Nope. Generic water bottle, made by Nestlé.

[ManMan]

Someone's salty.

[hector13]

Nope. Generic water bottle, made by Nestlé.

No surprise there then. They want to make you more thirsty so you buy and drink more of their water!

[Greiger]

It's because water with salt added tastes better (there's probably a couple other minerals too).  And it's stuff that is typically found in those trace amounts in fresh water anyway.  Fresh water from a spring often has very trace amounts of those minerals and the filtering process usually removes them, so they add the ones that make the water taste more like 'water' back.

Plain water with none of that stuff in it can taste off to some folks.  Not everybody can tell, but some can.

P.S. Note that some companies do add excessive amounts, so do still need to be careful in some cases.  I vaguely remember there being one big thing to look out for but I forget what exactly it is.

It's kinda like that whole mess with milk when people freaked out that milk companies were adding something or another to the milk after pasteurization and it turned out it was just the healthy stuff in the milk that gets separated out as a side effect of pasteurization being re-added.

I just realized(mostly because I started re-reading it) that because Windows 10 had that Cortana thing, this might have actual relevance.

[Rolan7]

Microsoft naming that... thing "Cortana" has me pretty conflicted.  As a diehard Marathon/Bungie fan.  The Halo TRILOGY (by Bungie) represents a beautiful betrayal to me...  I love it, but it's so sick that MS gave Bungie enough silver to ensure the all-but-death of Mac gaming, while also buying their raw new console a place in the console wars. 
It was an excellent move for a company with capital, and did great things for Bungie too.  (Though they kinda let themselves go after Halo 3...  Destiny is not great)

But, this "Cortana" search thing.  I kinda want to hate it as a cheap cash-in on a name we know and love (particularly with Bungie not even being under MS anymore).

On the other hand...  It's about time!  She's finally rampant and ""evil"" (':

Please do NOT QUOTE. Thank you.

Just had a complaint filed against me by a pro bono client (I didn't charge him anything) from 4 years ago....

Claims I didn't do anything, and get this, overcharged him (Remember that "Pro Bono" free part? Yeah.... Nope).

He's pissed about his divorce situation. Nobody wins in a divorce. Nobody. I made that clear. He's pissed things changed due to changing circumstances.

It won't matter cause 4 years is way too long, but still.... That'll teach me to help somebody out.

This is what I get for being nice to somebody. I'm just a target to shoot at. O well. Waste of time showing up to defend this when it'll be thrown out anyhow.
I know people who have easily paid $12,000 and up in legal fees for a heated divorce and this guy got it for $0. It was ugly. Yeah, he had to pay court and filing costs, child support, etc, but he'd have had to do that even if he represented himself. There's actually no way around it when you wanna fight like hell.

Please do NOT QUOTE. Thank you.

It just .... gah. It'll be fine, but come on really?
