I filled up my car and some male models must've had a gas fight before I got there because the pump was covered in gasoline, and now my hands smell like the stuff. I've washed em a few times, still nothing.

Game on Steam: 10€
I recently bought Age of Empires II's Rise of the Rajas expansion pack, and was surprised when the steam client didn't do any downloading or syncing of files after I bought it. When I ran the game, all the new content was immediately available.
I feel a tad gipped... I think I just paid $8 for a bit to be flipped.
Welcome to DRM!

Status: wife is currently in frenzied cleaning mode because just over a week ago MIL stopped by for a visit and true to form we now have a fresh crop of fleas and WE CAN'T HAVE FLEAS! NOOOOO!!
Hopefully the diatomaceous earth works as well as it has in the past, but I wish she would just let it set and do its thing instead of obsessively cleaning every inch of the house when we should be sleeping.

STATUS:
Drunken Ace showed up yesterday and did a good job, so he is on a more solid ground now.
Trying to reach Porno Guy now for the morning meeting, and he's a no-show on Skype.
Remote workers, if you want to be trusted, this is not how you do it.
The upside with this guy is that he has the most awful hick accent you've ever heard, with broken grammar and everything. So meetings with him are amusing in that sense.

Call was scheduled for 10AM, he showed up at 11:20AM. He "had to step out, something came up". No further details were given.
He is now estimating 2 more hours of backend and 2 of frontend work, for a feature he started two weeks ago (which I estimated at 16 hours). He's only getting into the project and there were other interruptions, but jeesh.

For future reference, @Polygeekery, that works in your scenario as well. ;)
Just hang up in the middle of you saying something (no one assumes you'd do that deliberately), take care of business, then dial in and say you got disconnected. (Helps that the bridge I use for all of my conference calls is notoriously unreliable.)

Hopefully the diatomaceous earth works as well as it has in the past, but I wish she would just let it set and do its thing instead of obsessively cleaning every inch of the house when we should be sleeping.
Update: wife vacuumed up all the fucking diatomaceous earth today, "because asthma", so we can't actually let it set for a few weeks and actually do its fucking thing at killing fleas (including the ones that, you know, hatch), even though it's really only an inhalation problem when you're agitating it -- like sprinkling it all over the place, or vacuuming, or scuffing your feet along the rugs purposely trying to kick it up (I really doubt that just walking on them would cause a big problem -- it really needs to be under and immediately around furniture where the fleas are going to like to hide out when there's not a big fat juicy leg for them to much on). Also I just found a (edit: two) very much alive, not dead flea.

If you had ever visited her house, you wouldn't be surprised by that.
The fact that they have outdoor/indoor dogs/cats doesn't help. The fact that it's not clean doesn't help. The fact that they apparently care not to do anything about the fleas really doesn't help.
-
@anotherusername I don't give a shit if it was my mother-in-law or the fucking Pope, if someone was infested with fleas, I would not invite them to stay at my house.

Also the UE4 directory is again writable, thank greatness.

I just don't like milk very much. Make it into something else and its fine. Cheese, chocolate, custard, butter, cake. There's plenty of nice things to do with milk, but keep it out of the coffee.
