Status: Minor car repair done. (Actually, this morning, but forgot to post.) I'd have thought that when I spent hundreds of dollars in (probably unnecessary) repairs to pass my smog check a couple of years ago, they'd have replaced the obviously broken part that was almost certainly the cause of the problem, but apparently not (or else it broke again, which is certainly possible; it drove fine of a couple of years).
Went to auto parts store down the street. Guy tapped keys on his computer for a minute, then mumbled, "Sorry, dealer item." Yeah, heard that before. Last time I tried to get parts through the dealer, they never arrived, and I wound up getting them online.
Pulled up website of online store I ordered from last time. Found the part I needed. Oh, I probably ought to replace part B, too, and it's only like $4. Paid extra for shipping so they'd get here by today.
Part A came Wednesday, and part B arrived yesterday. Brake light also burned out, and I had a spare from last time I had to replace one. So take care of both repairs before I go to work this morning.
The necessary repair is the easiest possible repair you could ever need to do on this engine. Pull one end to disconnect; pull other end to disconnect; throw broken part in trash. Pick up new part A; push one end into hole; push other end over connector. Done. It took me longer to find the package of disposable gloves I had to avoid getting my hands greasy than it did to make the repair. Actually, it took a little longer than that, because I couldn't quite figure out what to with part B, which should have attached to part A; turns out I didn't need it because it was included as part of the part A assembly. But for $4, I'm not going to complain too much about buying a part I didn't need.
Now I can accelerate without the engine knocking, and stop at a red light without shifting into neutral to keep the engine from stalling. :) And I can drive 100 miles to have "Christmas" breakfast with my daughter tomorrow morning. (She spent actual Christmas with her boyfriend's family, and due to her work schedule didn't have a chance to get together until New Year's Day, but my car was acting up, and I didn't think it was ok to try to drive it that far.) If only the cheapo OBDII reader I bought actually worked, so that I could reset the check engine light, I'd be all set.
You said all that, and never said what part it actually was...

True, although if I haven't fixed all the problems, I'd kinda like to be able to find out what issues are left, so I'd still like it to work.
If you haven't fixed all the problems, the code will come back and you can be sure that it is a recent code and not an old one that is still hanging around.

I REALLY don't want to go through recompiling this crap, but it's looking likely if I don't want to spend double the time recording to re-encode it in the proper format (because why would OBS output straight MP3 files?).
I know! Let's have a race! Which can complete faster: Compiling ffmpeg, or using old laptop to do the encode!

4.5 hours of work to compile and then encode, or 47 minutes to just encode (on a crappy machine).

Status: Annoyed?
I got flat out microagressed (I think that's the right term?) by my father. Apparently I was supposed to volunteer myself to help out cleaning the backyard and removing a palm tree. I didn't, because I have no endurance and attempting to do so would mean I would sleep in tomorrow, resulting in further frowns (can't win), but no, it's my fault for not being a team player and not "trying".
Got flat out told I would have been useful... for my weight.
Fuck off with that shit. If you wanted me, you would have made a stronger effort than to mention "oh by the way, we're going to be cleaning tomorrow" at 11:15pm just before going to bed.

Yes, but if the stupid ODBII reader doesn't work, which it doesn't, I don't know what the code actually is. Simply knowing it's recent isn't really all that helpful.

Status: Wondering why the latest Chrome, Opera, and Firefox all delegate handling emoji to Windows 10, but neither IE nor Edge do
-
@RaceProUK For IE I think that's because Win7 does not have emoji out of the box Actually I just checked Win10 also don't have it until anniversary update, so it's better to just let the browser render it for more consistent behavior.
For Edge, maybe because the team that developed this feature want to have them rendered just in black and white?

It's a shame there isn't a way to indicate whether you wanted them to render as color emoji or text-style emoji... oh wait.
Unicode symbol as text or emoji
using unicode variation selectors to force the rendering of symbols as either text or emoji
Now if it just worked consistently...

I think I posted somewhere (or maybe that was IRC) that Internet Explorer is the only mainstream browser on Windows 10 that treats tab titles with emoji in them properly.
It adds ellipses when the title doesn't fit (unlike Chrome and Edge) and doesn't mangle multibyte characters (unlike Firefox).

@aliceif That clip's of Edge

@RaceProUK Yes, and as you see, it does not indicate that the tab title has been cut off.
