Huh.

Finally turned it back on. Seems like it's working fine, but clearly some of the oil has gotten inside the screen, because it appears discolored or not as bright as usual.

I mean, yeah, obviously, but there's always that lingering doubt which persists in my mind despite basic logic.

The oil was about as dirty as it normally gets when we dump it; dark enough that it got opaque within 2-4 inches (maybe?). The iPod happened to fall into the container used to transport it from the fryer to the disposal container outside. There were also crumbs and the like from the stuff cooked in the fryer (chicken fingers, waffle fries, and the like), though I didn't see anything like that on the unit when I pulled it out -- which I want to say I did within two seconds of it falling into the oil.

As far as getting the oil out... I don't even know how to open up an iPod Touch. As I've mentioned before, I have it standing up to (hopefully) allow the oil to drain thru the ports & speaker. I've been checking on it and moving it every time I see an oil stain, which I think have been getting progressively smaller.

The oil was slightly below room temperature, and I turned off the iPod as soon as I could.

I've had it standing up for the past day or so to let it drain thru the ports & speaker.

Anyone know how likely it is I'll need to get a new iPod? I'd like to think I'm past any sort of frustration at this point and now I'm more curious than anything.

They were out of human lasers so I had to make do with a robo-- I mean, human flamethrower. Human-sigh.

Quite frankly, I don't know if I have enough proof that everyone on Board 8 isn't a robot of some sort.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to replace my very human laser.

Just a minor note for me, Charley's Philly Steaks because of some poor customer service. Stamp card got refused because it was initialized instead of stamped a few times, Manager refused so much as a token effort of compensation, and when I reported this to their online customer service, they never got back to me.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

A) the obvious reason
also B) It's a cultural thing. As I understand it, LONG skirts are considered rebellious over there, while SHORT skirts fit in. So like the punk kids dress modestly and the nice kids show more leg. I don't know why.

Huh. Learning something new every day.

I've heard something to the effect of "marijuana makes you paranoid, which can offset the negative effects of driving while stoned."

Not sure how reliable my vague memory of that conversation piece is.

Completely anecdotal and made up and based on nothing.

Similar to "drunk people concentrate really hard on driving because they don't want to get a DUI which actually makes them drive more safely on average"

Yeah, that was literally the guy's argument for driving while stoned. Which is weird now that I think about it, since AFAIK he was clean & sober the entire time I worked with him.

Hmm... tough call.

If I go by epIV-VI (I'll even toss in the end of Rogue One here) or by just the concept of Vader, I'd give him a 10. But if I were to include his time as Anakin... I'll be generous and say 8. Again, mostly because of the concept -- the prequels just did a poor job of detailing Vader's rise and corruption, and I think others have gone into that detail well enough.

On a tangential note, thinking of Rogue One again really makes me want to see Vader riding a TRex into battle.

Came in to post exactly this.

The second and on was basically holy shit.
