    I'm getting disturbingly personalised banner spam - apparently there is a woman 2.6 kilometres from my home named Sandra who wants to meet me right now - with my wife sleeping not five feet away - is that you or evil google?
    Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

    Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

      What did you do with the old server? Did you abandon it in a cage on the side of the road?

              I'm not sure what you're asking ... The banners are chosen by Google. I am Sandra though

                The new server is a VPS physically located in NY with 4 CPU threads and 8GB of RAM. The old one had 2 CPU threads and 2GB of RAM. The CPU numbers are very vague metrics though, since how much computing power is actually available at any given time depends on what the hardware is and who the neighbors sharing the physical server are.

                The server name is "urmom" ... The password to urmom is 12345, because she's just begging to be rooted ...

                  the server is 'savasmom'? That explains sooo much. No wonder the forum's so fast.

                    We really should call the server "urmom" as that sounds better than the old name of "settler", however, settler at least had a civ tie in so it might be a wash.

                      BTW I went to a Filipino grocery store today (Sea Food City: http://seafoodcity.com/ ) and I have to admit I have never seen so many different varieties of canned SPAM. I never knew they had low sodium Jalapeno Spam. Not that I bought any of that junk but I was amazed Filipinos love Spam so much it took up ~1/3rd of an entire grocery aisle with the rest of the aisle taken up with other canned meat products including numerous Spam knock offs. These people must buy an incredible amount of Spam and Spam like products to justify a whole dedicated aisle at the super market. Just saying...

                      I did get a three can pack of Palm brand canned corned beef from Australia (at $12 and change it was even cheaper than the stuff from South America) and some fresh stone crab claws as both were on sale but it will likely be many months before I actually used the canned corned beef. I have no idea how people in the PI deal with eating all that sodium.

                        While we're at it since you're our local master of all things PI related do you think you could tell me what to do with a bitter melon? I have no idea what they taste like or what sort of recipe they're used in but they were on sale and all the Filipina house wives were buy them by the giant bag full so I decided to grab one. Thanks.

                          You see, when the person directly above your post already made a similar mom joke then it isn't witty or funny to copy him. At least let a few posts go by before you try to repeat the same joke.

                              Bitter melon is certainly bitter. I like it with eggs that have plenty of seasoning (onions, bell peppers, salt) to offset the bitter taste. I'd start with a low ratio of the melon and work your way up to wherever you can stomach. For me, I can take about 50/50 ... any higher ratio than that I just can't eat. (Even though I like the flavor, it's just too bitter.)

                                I think the SPAM is for the westerners who married a Filipina or for shipping back home. It's hard to get good meat in many places here (good as in safe to eat, not necessarily taste) so canned meats are used more often. Maybe some people actually develop a taste for it? I haven't had SPAM more than a couple times in the last year thankfully. I don't mind canned corned beef when used sparingly with potatoes, but I'll always prefer the fresh meat from market even if it's a bit more risky (short term, long term it's probably healthier than the canned crap).
