2 things:

I have watched an embarrassing amount of the show Baggage this weekend. It's a super ridiculous dating gameshow where all the contestant's air their worst "baggage" (I only bathe once every two weeks! I wear a tiara ALL of the time! I am 150k in debt and jobless! I scream in my sleep!) that they're bringing to the relationship. And it's HILARIOUS. Extra ridiculousness points for being hosted by Jerry Springer.

I have been mostly leaving cookie clicker running in background for the past few days and I just checked it and realized that I'm about to pass 1 quintillion lifetime cookies! Only 600 trillion to go.

And I just accidentally refreshed my Cookie Clicker page and lost over 100 quadrillion in unpopped wrinklers... :( :( :(

Baggage is LITERALLY the funniest show on television. We may or may not have watched ~50 episodes over the weekend. I'm in love.

I'll check out baggage sometime, I love a ridiculous show like that. 

In other news, I just got Black Cat's Paw, and am currently saving for my next anti-matter condenser, which costs just over 1 Quintillion.

Just finished the ABCs of Death. I can see why it got such poor ratings.

It's a cool concept, but not all of the directors were up to the task.  It can be hard to convey an interesting story in only 2-5 minutes. Some of them didn't even bother with a story, which was a shame.

I'm also disappointed that there was not death by Zamboni.

Ever since the Halloween update I've mostly idled with wrinklers, sniping an occasional Elder Frenzy.  I'm not making much progress toward Black Cat's Paw any longer.  Well, cookies chains help.

[rant]
The people who run my county's math meets have now officially had a wrong answer 2 out of 4 meets. I am extremely annoyed by this.
I am also really annoyed that they decided that math questions don't need proper grammar. They said to find the length of this segment, and there were two possible lengths, so it's ambiguous whether you should put both or put the length which makes their diagram to scale.
I am also mildly annoyed by the fact that 2 of the 6 questions on today's meet were basically the same thing; they both require the power of the point theorem for points outside of the circle.
I am also mildly annoyed by the fact that the first question of the five questions on a different math competition I did today can be solved in 10 seconds. Since you had 2 hours for the 5 questions, I think that they should all take about 24 minutes to solve.
[/rant]
So, yeah, pretty annoyed right now.

FTFY


Also, on the note of this 'Meet', is it an organised paid for event, or a volunteer thing?

I believe they receive some funding by the state (which I believe was cut in half this year) but there are also many volunteers.

Edit: The funding, not the state, was cut in half.

Haha, nice edit addition!

Ahh well yes if they are publically funded then they should get it right. I agree, Morons.

This is today:
Announcer: "The answer to number one is...15."
Everybody else: "What? Don't you mean 24?" [background expletives]
Announcer: "No, it says 15."
Somebody: "You mean that it's a 15-gon, which has exterior angle 24˚, so 24 is the answer, right?"
Announcer: "Um, we'll go back to that. Number 2..."
...later they said it was 24, thankfully.

The other problem they messed up on, let's just say that the error they made was approximately equal to this one:
1+2+3+8=14, but 1+2+8+3≠14. Duh.

I currently imagine mail-mi wearing a dark trenchcoat and a bowler hat, hunched over a bit, toothpick in his mouth, holding a gun in his pocket.  One bead of sweat trickling down his nose.

How many HC? I've reset once, got 730 HC, and it took me over 24 hrs to get back to 100 AC.

Wow. I haven't actually played cookie clicker in a while, despite me saying I was considering going for speedrun III. I guess I just generally got bored.

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

I just noticed that the artwork Kirian chose for Retort from rinkwork's mini-set contest is the same artwork Orteil used from Alchemy Labs in Cookie Clicker Classic.
