American things

....silby do you kno what a sausage roll is for real

it might be much better than you imagine

I googled for photos of the sausage rolls at the bakery near my old house and found an internetful of people trying to recreate them at home

important to note that sausage rolls and flavoured milk is the breakfast of choice for the australian tradie (working man)

(their selection ain't as gourmet as the wonders from bourke street bakery but)

there's a bourke street bakery?

click the link

(there are now eleven!!1 locations, only one is on Bourke St)

properly hilarious since the only bakeries i know of on bourke street are kenny’s and bread top, the latter of which puts a sausage in a roll but has somehow created an entirely unique monster

afaik the Bourke St in Sydney is a couple of years older than the Melbourne one, though they were both named for the NSW governor of the time

Bourke St

Sydney

ohhhhh

Check thread title

check borad

an American brought saus rolls up, we're okay

my local bourke street bakery is 550 meters away from bourke street

that's 600 yards you heathens

back to american things: garlic fries! they are great

Who knows what to do with pumpkins?

you can’t even eat them because they’re shit

i eat sugar pumpkins

my wife roasts the seeds after carving them for halloween but the rest gets chucked out. one of my cats will sometimes eat the pulp but other years isn't interested at all. he's obviously a pumpkin connoisseur.

My dog ate one I'd carved once.

These are the best pumpkins

Referring to women as 'guys'.

I worked with electronic hardware and software engineers for a decade. They called electronic components and software modules "guys". I have little doubt that civil engineers call the high tensile strength fasteners in highway bridges and ten story steel skeleton buildings "guys".

Grumble. Have to use an API (served by a British company!) and the fucking wankers are using US date formats. WTF is wrong with these people. Anyone not using YYYY-MM-DD to represent date values in datasets should be sent to the gulag.

The belief that 7 vacation days and 3 sick days a year is not only reasonable but very generous.

nilla wafers for dipping in the cool whip

“a meet cute”

The belief that 7 vacation days and 3 sick days a year is not only reasonable but very generous.

yeah i really can't get my head around how little time off americans get

my public sector job here in the uk gives me 31 holiday days plus public holidays time off between xmas and new year ffs

public holidays and time off, that should say

Flexidays?

don't mind if i do, cheers

Jaysus that's better than us

Wait how many flexidays

often thought that the US approach to acceptable amounts of paid leave points to the real sickness at the heart of the country

it's not a set number of flexidays as such, more that we can claim back in lieu time that we work outside office hours, which generally adds up to an extra handful of days' worth of hours each year

nv otm tho, the perpetual nose-to-the-grindstone american attitude to leave (and maternity leave especially) seems appalling to me
