Status: Today's statement from the Department of the Bleeding Obvious:
A bra provides support to women's breasts only while they are wearing the bra.
There's a rather common idea that consistent use of a bra will help your boobs to remain perkier even when you're not wearing it, or alternately, that letting them hang causes them to stretch and sag sooner than they would if you regularly wore a bra. It's not proven up by fact, but I'm surprised if you have never read or heard someone making such claims.

@PleegWat Supplemental Status: Just realized all numeric uses in the module under consideration should be eliminated under the 'trivial rules' bypass I partly implemented today and if there's any left it's a rules bug.

With today being a holiday I am at home with the boys. Also, I am expecting a shipment of 10,000' of Cat6 and all the associated bits to go along with it for an install that starts tomorrow. We are playing in the living room where there is a huge picture window that looks out over the front of the house and yard. My phone goes off and it is a delivery update from Amazon that says everything has been delivered.
I never heard a thing, the doorbell never rang, the dogs never made a peep. I immediately think that USPS screwed up again and delivered to the wrong house.
God.
Damnit.I start to get wound up, expecting to have to spend a lot of time sorting all this shit out. I go look on the porch and there is a stack of boxes.

Status: We're trying to make our voice communications protocol more network efficient by switching from .WAV files to .OPUS. Hitting barriers with provider:
: Currently though, it seems that the processing is somewhat slow, I estimate the recognition is happing about 2.5x realtime.
: You should definitely use our streaming API, which is near realtime. The API you're using is file based and will be slow. Any way you can send audio buffers as the user speaks?
: That’s the one that’s raw PCM data, right? It might be possible to stream the OPUS file as it’s being created, I’ll see about trying it next week.In other words, their response is, "Don't use the compressed file format, use RAW PCM BUFFER DATA INSTEAD!!!"
Like, WTF, that's backwards from the goal here, and I'm not even moving the goal posts!

They would not test those in the Midwest anyway. Everyone around here has a shotgun.

No, it belongs at the right hand side of the screen.
With aspect ratios like 16:9, vertical screen real estate is more valuable than horizontal screen real estate.
LEFT side! The right side (of my primary monitor) is the middle of my real estate. Multiple monitors rule!

Our dogs are like that. They tend to read us though. When there is a knock on the door they initially respond by growling and snarling. But, they then look to us for direction. If we are clam, they calm down.
Of course, one night I came in and it was cold outside and I had a hoodie over my face and they both flipped out and nearly attacked me.

People think that's a lowercase letter, but it's actually an upside down exclamation mark; the clicking consonant sound it represents is reminiscent of cracking gorilla glass.

Hang on!
I must admit that I am not that experienced in shareholding, but from what I know the way to introduce new shares is by splitting the old shares. If the boss says he kept yours from splitting he essentially reduced your ownership!

If the boss says he kept yours from splitting he essentially reduced your ownership!They are doing something different. If I understood, they are taking shares from some of the current investors and giving them to new investors.
Probably Boss doesn't understand it either. Since I was never really into getting the shares in the first place, I'm not really looking too hard into what they are doing there.
