Quote from: some recipe book
Beef Fizz
2 cans condensed beef broth
1 cup chilled ginger ale
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Combine ingredients and pour over ice in glasses.  6 to 8 servings.

 ???

I don't know if it's better or worse, but I read all instances of "beef" as "beer".

I mean, at soccer games in the UK some places sell Bovril as a beverage.

Bovril is a damn nice drink. Frequently enjoy it keeping warm during hockey.

I to read it as beer at first.

Also the name beef fizz doesn't sound like something I would want to drink.

Pork floss is pretty great, beef fizz would probably be fine :P

Beer, ginger ale and lemon juice just sounds like an odd gingery take on shandy.

Beef Fizz on the other hand… I feel like I’ve seen that kind of thing in American recipe books from the fifties and absolutely nowhere else.

The forum has spitting out 500-Internal Server Errors. Not all the time, but doesn't it usually start doing that before the server crashes completely?

Hadn't even noticed any until just now. Perhaps ak has cursed the server >:(

I was actually just going to mention the same thing. It's only happening spontaneously and briefly so far, but it's been going on all week, and I figured it was just my shitty rural internet/cell connection. (I didn't look up what it means)

It's a server(-side) code. And one of the absolutely most generic ones, that can't even be blamed on the browser getting the wrong idea (or told the wrong sort of things to ask for).

I'm used to getting 503 on another server, i.e. Service Unavailable (probably due to overloading/insufficient resources to handle the request).

500 is... a bit more vague than that. And generally nothing to do with your connection. (Unless that connection somehow involves a proxy server (that doesn't 502/whatever) that's playing it's own silly games whilst acting as intermediary.)


Noting that I've not been getting any errors at all, myself... (<knocks on wood for the immediate future>)  Though obviously it is a concern (or atthe very  least a matter of intrigue) to hear that anyone else has been. But also not likely to be something anyone other than Tarn (or 'his server people') can get to the real bottom of, I imagine.

edit: Ok. Just got one myself. Maybe two, but not sure if the browser actually attempted the first reload I tried, after a decent pause. But a(nother) pause later got a normal response and no followup issues up to the point of wandering back here just now. Definitely server-side. Definitely lacking any useful user-side info. If there's anything in the server-logs (or otherwise detectable rackside), then I wouldn't know. Let alone anything automatically pinged up to the respective admins/Tarn to forewarn them of potential user discontent...

I was getting those things every now and then a while back but not enough of them to get me worried about them.

What do you mean? Arnold's mostly organic. And he was a war cyborg manufactured to be like a young man, I believe? He even made love to like, a woman once. In the game. It did happen. We all voted on going to our pod with her. I mean, he is pretty flirty too, soooo...

Mucked up my chilli somewhat. Forgot to get onions, and I didn't have any stock cubes when I could have sworn I did.

However, I went all-in on the garlic instead and it actually makes up for it? Getting small but solid hits of garlic was actually pretty nice on the whole.
