@accalia those links work, btw. At least they appear to.
Also, I'm not sure how many AA batteries you could ship in a package weighing 0.10 lb. Doesn't seem like very many. Or did they just randomly enter a weight because the shipping was priced by size rather than weight, or something?

..... welll fuck.....
i missed that
oh and it helpfully tells you what i bought too....
well -shrug-
it's shipped to the office not home and it's no secret what township my office is in.... i suppose you could figure out the office based on the signee, but then if you have access to that level of information .....
i should probably ask ben to replace that image on the server just in case.........
edit: new censored image uploaded. now to wait for @ben_lubar to wake up and get the flag so he can fix things at the file system level.

It doesn't for me. They just show the tracking number, where it was delivered to, and that someone signed for it (and who). It might show the content of the order for you because Amazon "knows" it is you when you visit the links.

Why did you upload the censored image twice?

Not for me. You're logged in, so it will. Did you check incognito mode to see what it says there?
I actually checked to make sure that it didn't helpfully put your email address in the login field though. It didn't. So you appear to be ok there.

Status: The Irish person who was hosting a certain game's subversion server that was used for the launcher/updater (although it might not be used much longer, given that we're rank 12 of the 1998 games on Greenlight) had some computer problems and ended up reinstalling Windows.
They didn't back up the svn repository, but I had been using git-svn to download it, so I converted it back to a subversion repository and 7-zipped it.
So now I'm uploading a 3GiB archive to someone in Ireland. The game's update server might be up in like 10 hours, assuming they set up the other stuff while the transfer is going.

@Lorne-Kates I'm more amused by the "hungry homeless vet, please help" allegedly folks who are still out on the street corner begging today. And no, they're not begging for a ride to the nearest place that's giving vets free meals all day long.
Those are the ones that will put in their 8 hours, walk down the block, get in their brand new luxury car, and drive home.

@Tsaukpaetra cheap.... mechanical keyboard.....
E_DOES_NOT_COMPUTE
like either you pay 5.99$ for a Walmart special membrane keyboard that types like shit today and will continue to type like shit in thirty years because there's only one manufacturer making those crap keyboards and they've gotten so good at it that the build quality's actually pretty damn good considering how cheap they are..... or you actually shell out the cash for a good keyboard.
what is this fabled middle ground where you have mechanical switches and all the moving parts problems that come with that..... and still keep the "cheap" lable...... ?!

@Weng said in The Official Status Thread:
Yeah. I can only conclude that I must be doing something horribly wrong (probably something to do with my DNS config, since I'm not using the Microsoft Blessed DNS Server). But not enough things are broken and not enough time is allocated to fixing it in my house so
Yeah definitely that. The Microsoft DNS server is actually excellent. You should consider switching.
Btw, since I wasn't keep tracking, last time I see the Microsoft DNS on Win2008 still does not support DNS views (so intranet hosts and external hosts querying the server will be given different information, and you can now practically use a single DNS server to serve both internal and external queries)

Cheap in comparison of the scale of mechanical keyboards. It was $50 USD, which is very low cost compared to the ~$180 ones I was looking at before.

Status: Still struggling through the subtle bugs in Chrome.
Is the latest version of Chrome (v54.0.2840.99) more prone to hang than the previous versions? We have a few links that can hang the whole browser in the current version while it's fine with previous versions. And by "hang" I mean not just hanging the current browser process, but hang all the five processes spawned by Chrome.

This seems like bullcrap, what do you think: http://www.assisianimalhealth.com/technology/
Assisi’s targeted pulsed electromagnetic field technologies emerge out of a century-long evolution of using electrical currents to improve health and healing. Pulsed electromagnetic fields are simply delivery systems for inducing electrical current. Pulsing an electromagnetic field near a conductor (such as tissue) will induce current flow in the conductor.
I guess because it is not targeting humans, they have been able to sell snake oil.

Well at least your tabs aren't doing anything (apparently):
I'm:
- Not watching any videos
- Not interacting with any sites (other than this one)
- Really wondering what these pages are doing that causes Chrome to chug smoothly away at something
Whatever. Windows Update succeeded, so now I'm going to be shanghaied into rebooting in... 47 minutes?
WTF? Ok, fine then. I think I did say my Active Hours ended at 1am (I think? Apparently you can't access that panel in the state I'm apparently in.)
