LPT: How to win as a guest and make new friends at a raging, alcohol fuelled party
Food & Drink
I'm getting older now, and some of my friends' kids have recently started college. I've been reliably told that alcohol-fuelled parties are still happening, and I shared this advice about how to make new friends and be a hero. One of them took my advice, and now has a new girlfriend because of this.
The key to the following advice is an element of secrecy because the surprise makes it even better.
Arrive late and sneak Lasagna into the party. I mean, taking a large, catering-sized tray of lasagna, along with a stack of paper plates and forks, to a raging house party. I used to do this back in college. I'd make one, sometimes two, in the afternoon in big foil trays before goin to a party. Show up around 10.30pm, and slip them into the oven without asking permission telling anyone. Medium heat for 30 minutes to warm it up. Get my paper plates out, and shout: "Lasagna is ready" to a packed house of drunk people, and hand them all a fork. It's cheaper than bringing beer, no clean-up, and I got laid pretty often.
Important note: Make sure the person who owns the oven is the first in the line, and don't make a mess.
Maybe make one meat and one vegan or something... This last point was less of a concern back in my day, but we must move with the times.

Has this pairing ever been flipped? Where a man falls in love with a monster?

Love stumbling on sites like iamkate.com

Feels like the old web, just some great content, excellently produced, and so fricken fast due to no garbage, tracking, plugins etc.

Inspires me to resurrect my own website and chalk one up for the old web

So, no draft beer for me until I fix it. Hopefully Christmas won’t be cancelled.

Have had to resort to emergency #cans

All the gubbins pulled out of the back of a PerfectDraft machine. And a can of Veltins. In my kitchen. My wife will be so pleased.

Perfect draft stopped working. Display fully lights and flickers every second or so.

Fan OK, motor/pump OK, peltier OK.

Power supply? 😬

Some filtering electrolytic capacitors in a power supply. Their tops are slightly bowed out, confirming that they are indeed shagged (it’s a technical electronic engineering term. look it up)
