Not if you are eating chubs of pepperoni and dried salami's. That shit is lots of fat.

I think your statements here are very valid

Pigs are well known for their lean physique

It’s interesting for sure. I went from “I bet we can finish that in a month” to “even one small change will take 6 months to bake into the manufactured design” based on my small volume manufacturing experiences. John apparently went in the opposite direction based on his.

By that I assume you mean more people brain washed through the college "experience"? Um yea....

After viewing these images of John's favorite meals, I'm afraid that this thread has turned into a world under gas.

Brainwashed to become doctors and teachers and scientists and engineers and biologists, and business leaders and shit yeah!! Damn college and education brainwashing people to learn and think critically, question assumptions and historical lag, apply oneself and learn new skills. So annoying!!

In 8 years.....

I think he meant more towards your student getting into debt for liberal arts, rainbow chasing and population theory. Then getting out of college with a worthless degree and wondering why McDonald's won't hire you.

More jokes about discount pork products, less hamfisted arguing over…idk what you guys are arguing about tbh

Good morning. Rise and shine everybody.

Who needs some eggs to go with their grey ham?

New playfield toy!

Got my discount foods. First time for BBQ pork skewers cooked. Got some apple pie for some deserts, & traditional 2 chicken fingers & salads. Still fighting this cold but starting to feel better. Get back into the build & servicing games in the shop.

Let them keep turning on themselves. They don't even know what they are arguing about! John is just dropping bread crumbs and they keep following along cleaning them up! It's too easy for him

My cooked ham looked way better than the pictured one on the table. Is that fat on the outside? Should get the last package of Bobs bacon going this week since best before date is past.

John just for knowledge, eating animal fats is not necessarily bad for you. In fact its quite good for you (obviously in moderation). Back in like the 80's 90's it was thought that all these fats were bad for you and thats why we got all these vegetable oils and whatnot replacing butter and other fats in foods. If you're going to be concerned about fats in foods be less concerned about natural fats and be more concerned with all the processed fats

^^Yeah because GWJ seems SUPER concerned about how healthy his diet is…

If the contact cleaner/paint/propane fumes basting his food don’t bother him I don’t think saturated fat is high on his list.

Yea but they dont do that anymore.

Indoctrination factories that rarely let in an opposing view anymore.

^^. Stop it. Political BS elsewhere please.

Maybe some Nyquil Chicken would be a healthy choice! ( It's a thing, apparently some kind of tictok challenge eating chicken cooked in Nyquil)
Sounds pretty awful! Kids these days!

I think I need to drain this thread. It started kinda fun, but now it is just making me sad.

Best of luck to everyone involved!

I don't blame you, too much BS about bad food and people fighting over nothing just trying to get attention and the last word in.
I look forward to seeing some actual signs of progress in this later down the line. I would leave too if I had anything better to do here at work!
Before you go maybe you can hook John up to get the Fast System to run his game in time for the reveal!

Nothing from animal products is good for you.

Yes do not go away. That was the only thing I have heard from Fast Pinball. Could of said how things are going with the back orders. Fall is almost here. Would be nice to know if stock is coming back anytime this year.

There are a lot of medicines that have animal products in them. Like certain blood thinners, hormone therapies, vaccines, etc... Some countries still allow human insulin produced from animals.

I think what I struggle with the most in regards to this project is that you are 6 months from TPF and you don't have a shooting whitewood yet. I think you should reset your timelines and get there when you get there. Then this thread can return to the fun time thread (and project) it started out as.

All I can see right now is massive stress and an overly aggressive/hopeful/optimistic timeline with an incomplete team. I don't mean to sound overly pessimistic, only trying to inject a small bit of reality here. I don't know who your team's engineer is. Who your team's programmer is. Who is doing sound and assets. Who is setting up your computer to run MPF. Who is doing your light shows. Etc etc etc.

FAST has a backlog of orders we are working through and hope to have the new FAST Bundles ready to go by Pinball Expo.

Thanks for proving my point !

100%

Not sure about this game, but Jon Norris is one of the best designers of all time, chime in on your favorite designs by Jon! Cue Ball wizard, Surf N’ Safari, Hot Shots, and Gladiators all great games with great rule sets. I have a hotshots, that feature of completing all one side bank of drops alone for 10 replays is amazing! Nearly impossible, but so cool it’s in there incase it happens.

Why not pick up a P3-ROC, those are in stock.

boom.

He said they were out of stock weeks ago and crickets chirped when a link to Pinball Life was provided.

Kudos for FAST telling it like it is…

So far during this thread, we have lost:

Crazy Levi
Ben Heck
Aaron FAST Pinball
The Queen of England

Is this thread cursed?

Hey John check out my discount lunch today. Surrounded by my first attempt at running metal thru a slip roll. My homebrew ass is dragging too but at least I got a big box of parts…

I will bow out as well

I agree with most of the points you made but one thing it seems in all this mayhem is John doesn't seem stressed at all! Many people here seem to be but John has been cool as a cold can of Bud!

...and the spirit of Iceman lurks everyday

John literally has nothing to lose. That's why. This seems to be a fun project for him and if he doesn't meet the deadline, what's ice gonna do?

I saw that on the news this morning! WTF is wrong with people? Who the hell decides, hmmn chicken and Nyquil, let's try it! About as good as the vagina popsicles.

Nothing beats the original though (Allegra chicken)

I'm guessing that you're vegan and thats perfectly fine. I'm not one of those guys who is upset by that or says HURR DURR I'M GONNA EAT 2 STEAKS NOW HAHA. I have some good friends who are vegan and there is certainly an argument to be made over the health benefits of it. To say "no animal product is good for you" is scientifically and factually wrong. Don't do your lifestyle a disservice by being that type of person.

I swear these dreaded tIk ToK ChAlLeNgEs are like 3 people who've done them and then the news is like HEY BOOMERS LOOK WHAT THE KIDS ARE DOING NOW EVERYBODY PANIC, THESE KIDS ARE DOOOOOOOMED. That being said...gimmie the vagscicles over medicine chicken any day. At least they might have some nice probiotics lol

Yeah, once you accept John is going to John then it's a lot more fun.

At this point, I'm pretty convinced most TikTok challenges and trends are elaborate trolls and occasional satire flying over people's heads.

People are so fucking gullible

The locker room is out of control. Need the coach in here asap.
