Today’s mess: Pressed protein wafers, bread analogue (BAS Texture L), beans in sauce (beans limited).
This is a friendly reminder that while the galley is generally self-serve, you are *not* welcome to help yourself to food in storage.
A dozen squares of UP5.
What kind of masochist subjects themselves to a dozen squares of UP5?
It’s a good protein, Dmitri.

Nah, mate. Drinking and tiny transparent missiles don’t mix.

@kenv I have modeled a fold-space transit path in which you spend 32.6% less time engaged in compliance activities.
Seriously? You can do that?
I measure movement across many variables. What you see as mere motion is more accurately a model made manifest.
Tell him the catch though, Zalmux!
There is an 82% chance you exit transit with one or more missing reproductive organs.
Thank you for the offer, Zalmux, but I think I’m going to decline.
@kenv
Thank you for the offer, Zalmux, but I think I’m going to decline.
Well, we weren’t planning on a second kid anyways.
No, we’re not doing this.
Does anyone else think the lighting in Pod 7 feels different lately?
I haven’t noticed a change. When did you first observe this?
Like three days ago? It’s … cooler? A touch bluer?
@ifer

@prakash, did you do something? When I asked you about the lighting systems the other day, that was just a question, not a suggestion.
Oh, sorry! I’ll revert it.
I mean, I think it’s nice actually. I just wasn’t expecting it.
Ah, yeah, so I should leave it? The psychology here is pretty well known.
Revert it, Prakash. We have procedures around lighting changes for a reason.
@murat, I think we have a cookie thief.
Pardon?
I set out some cookies on the counter, since poor @bryce hasn’t gotten one yet. I went to the back for five minutes, and when I came back, the cookies were gone!
Maybe you just have some enthusiastic customers.
They took 36 cookies.
Very enthusiastic customers?
The tray disappeared as well.
Ah. And this happened just now?
Maybe ten, fifteen minutes ago?
Is that it?
Affirmative.
Well, that’s concerning.
Murat, I’m getting old, but not that old. I put the cookies on the counter and they disappeared. Someone took them.
I believe you, Dani. But can you do me a favor and just check the walls and ceilings? Sometimes gravity happens.
No, there’s no sign of airborne cookies.
Well, it was worth a shot. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Dani.
Thank you, Murat. And please, I don’t want anyone getting in trouble for this. I really just want that tray back.
Of course.
