>>231817 i didn't make it especially spicy because i bought fresh serranos to eat alongside it and not everyone in my house likes spicy there is definitely turmeric in there mostly it's that i added carrots and potatoes and used coconut milk usually i add spinach and tomatoes and whole cloves of garlic, and a lot more cayenne

i finished up 12 hours of work but i screwed up on the formatting because i didn't know it had special instructions now i gotta redo it all thankfully redoing it will only take like 5 hours but that means i've still got a 17 hour work day today oh well for some reason i'm not too bothered
No he's not. I saved him. I put a pumpkin on his head after pouring zealot slime all over him and I put basilisk eyes in the pumpkin. And then I sung a song called "please don't die" and he's alive now.
>>231868 No, I'm the #1 super idol. I'm a human that is convinced he's an elf although he's sort of an elf now. And also I'm androgynous and don't have an official gender. People see me as whatever gender they want to see me.
PAN is a priest that PUNCHES everyone and has really heavy armor.
my character got decapitated and imats put a rotting pumpkin head on my neck stub and glued it there with mysteirous slime then put his spear up my corpse and waved me around and made an impression of my character to pretend i was still alive
The mysterious slime called zealot slime came from some slimey enemies that turned people into tentacle monsters. I stole their slime after we killed them.
And yes I did do all of what Jan said, but I'm saving him. He's going to live due to my actions. I even sung a song to bring him back to life and rolled super well!
If it didn't work, I'll just have to carry his body around forever and pretend like he's alive, though.
In D&D wizards have theoretically no limit to the spells they can know, but have to prepare to cast them daily, they have to pick which ones they might cast And then sorcerer s have a cap on the spells they can know but they can cast spells without preparation
Oh and for the most part (I cant think of any counter examples) sorcers and wizards pill from the same spell list *pull

>be my client >receive 130 pages of transcripts "excuse me can i get these in full verbatim please" ok you asked for it >show up at desk in the morning >transcripts are now 290 pages long
you asked for it lady enjoy
Maria
>>232237 does that mean you give her the transcripts without the pointless unessecary shit edited out
pretty much it's not that binary, it's a spectrum of detail level what goes in depends heavily on what the purpose of the transcript is
for instance, post production stuff where they use it // use the transcripts for video editing purposes, those are probably the highest level detail. You would denote stutters and even interruptions and stuff because they need to know the usability of a clip, so if an ambulance whooshes by it's pretty good to note that it happened and interrupted the shot so they know
but uh, quick rundown full verbatim: "I thought, I tho--thought -- weren't you already... I thought you were already working on, on, working on that project" clean v: "I thought -- Weren't you already... I thought you were already working on that project" hard clean: "I thought you were already working on that project"
market research in a focus group might use something like the last one because they're looking for insights and readability is important the other thing, what are they called -- consumer testimonials, those things they'll probably go for something like the middle so that they can dig for sound bites to plop into radio broadcasting or whatever it is they're using as a medium for their messaging the top one would be for like legal or people like me who crunch linguistic entropy and parse obscene amounts of data
月
legal is supposed to be full verbatim but they're so fucked up that they don't format right and it's really vague and i had to drop my legal contract because i can't handle that they seemed like lazy bones to me the formatting standards lacked clarity and i didn't want the anxiety of my transcripts of someone else's poor language to wind up screwing up someone's court case, you know
月
filler shit like "uh, you know, uh, uh, like, well it's... i mean, uh, like really it's just, you know, uh, one of those, uh, things, like, uh, what do they call them? uh, spidget -- no, uh, like, faggot spinners" would be saved for full verbatim type stuff i dont know for what purpose people order these transcripts when the content is a simple interview format but whatevs

that // it was really neat to hear them talk about how the mustard was a weird flavor to them and other things about the sauces because they're not used to things that have some much flavor and it was overwhelming but then other people, for the same sauces, looked like they were so happy they were gonna cry because it was so delicious

cspital region here has you buy either a paper ticket, or a temporary travel card for lpnger than the 80-100 minute single tickets or if you are a denizen you can get the actual travel card. it xan be loaded with money or time, 2 weeks minimum. tickets are 2,25 one region, 4,18 three regions and 6,30 for whole region or half of that if you are under 18, conscript, student, senior. time was something like 28, 54 and 9? for two weeks
