At our university, we give students a list of 6 possible usernames based on what's available and which algorithm used to generate the name. Work pretty well, and sometimes people get really cool ones. They can change their username between their choices at will, again based on availability.

Last night, my wife and I ordered Chinese for Valentine's Day. Cost $100. Tried to tip the delivery guy a $20, and he turned it down lol. He then gave my cat a temptations treat, out of a freshly opened bag he had in his pocket. Dude was amazing!

I put some gel drops on my eyes, and could have sworn it was the Orcs Must Die logo

Matters little, word order does.

Normally I'd agree, but the glass just gets real cold when it's -40 outside. Condensation freezes on it.

I still get frost on the inside of my double paned windows up here in the great white north. No joke, windows are engineered to hell here

Right? To be fair, they used some of the nicest portables I've ever seen. Two portables to a class, windows, a semi permanent foundation, plumbing, HVAC hookup, networking, the works. I had to install WAPs in the drop tile, and it was not the worst thing I've had to do there.

In our town, one of the schools was just built 5 years ago. They built it without classrooms. Not a single one. They had a gym, common areas, admin offices, IT infrastructure (office with a server room became the councillors office and the IT guy needs to ask permission to use it lol), bathrooms and library. They designed it so it could be made entirely with portables. From the onset.

I appreciate that you did some earnest calculations. Normalizing for McDouble calorie counts is a decent way to do lateral comparisons. I did think about it, rather than napkin math, but then the CRM exploded at work, so I got distracted.

If it helps your calculation, CAD is the appropriate currency, and food prices are not pulled from logical sources. Best of luck.

Sure, a lettuce sandwich costs $0.79.

I'm certainly not eating the onion like an apple lol. But, to your point, a sandwich is exactly what you just said. Pick up an onion, some bread, some lettuce, some tomato, some mayo, some mustard, salt and pepper, deli ham (or roast chicken), some cheese. Buying those ingredients would be.... What $40? And you'd be able to make 8 sandwiches. Maybe have some leftover cheese and mayo. Perhaps a chicken carcass for stock.They'd be pretty good sandwiches too, but without bacon because we wanna keep it budget. Or you could get 20 McDoubles. By caloric value, 20 McDoubles will give you more food. You'll die from malnutrition over a period of time, but not from lack of calories.
