Agreed, since the power supply is apparently shot if something moves it's definitely animated through alternate means...

I assume the agent initiated an order flow to discover the availability and instead of cancelling it out it automatically completed it.

Status: Playing with nukemap to get a feel for a low-yield antimatter bomb for a scene in my next novel. Fun fact: 0.2 grams of antimatter is about the same as an 8-kiloton fission bomb.

@mott555 Ah. Going down into the facility to discover and retrieve the L.A.M.B. before the Zytts can get to it.

STATUS Hoping I made a calculation error somewhere. Otherwise, I'll owe nearly $1k income taxes.
Edit: And I can't tell for sure, since one of the tax forms isn't out until the end of the month. Guess I'll start saving...

@benjamin-hall
Meh, $1k owed is judicious use of your Safe Harbor provision. Congratulations on hitting the Shangrila spot!

IIRC there's an updated nukemap out there, and it might explicitly support AM

Status: Just got called weird by my father because I only sleep with a fitted-sheet and blanket (and pillow and secondary pillow and light mask, but those weren't part of the complaint).
Is sleeping without the upper sheet weird? What do you think, WTDWTF?

Status: Darn, apparently running Unreal game instances on an Azure Basic A1 instance (essentially a 1.6 Ghz single-core machine with 1.75 Gb ram) doesn't work very well.
Holy crap.
Running four instances of the requisite size will cost ~$600/mo! We better get subscribers!
I wasn't so far off. It's ~$950/mo in practice, though with the next update hopefully architecture improvements will cut that in half or better if nobody's on it...

@tsaukpaetra What's an upper sheet?

Also known as "top sheet" or "flat sheet", it's the sheet that goes between the fitted sheet and the blanket.
-
@tsaukpaetra Ah. Never used one.

I use a heavy duvet. A top sheet in combination with that would be very strange.

Which is not surprising. After all, anti-matter annihilation is pretty much equal to the mass defect.

I was following US federal budget negotiations most of yesterday but desisted started in the evening. This morning, I wonder if Congress eventually got its shit together?
(Reads OPM operating status email in his inbox that begins, "Due to a lapse in appropriations...")
Yeah, that's what I figured. -_-
Edit: That's my status; if you want to get into it on the negotiations, you probably want the news thread or the Garage.

'kost', I assume. I was using GTranslate, because rasty is a to humor. Still, yeah, careless of me not to double-check on that.

@tsaukpaetra
Speaking from past experiences, crinkling noises in the ear while chewing and swallowing may also be a symptom of wax blockage.Though even thatβs not a fun experience either.

The reason for the upper sheet is because upper sheets are easier to wash than blankets are. Having the blanket in direct contact with your body means you should really wash it more often.
My wife sleeps with a t-shirt, sweats, a sheet, and a blanket covering her. I sleep across the bed from her with usually just the sheet half-covering me, and I do mean just the sheet.

It would be Pharmacist/Pharmacy here. Typically you can collect prescription medication ordered by a doctor, buy non-prescription medications and they frequently have a load of semi-related stuff available too.
Edit: Thinking about it, I most often hear people saying "I'm going to the Pharmacist" when they mean the shop not specifically the person behind the counter. Guess the two terms have become pretty interchangeable.
-
@pleegwat our drugstores (Walgreens and CVS are the two big chains) sell all sorts of things, including beauty supplies, snacks, etc. Usually at a significant markup over other stores. Most major retailers have pharmacy operations inside that handle prescription meds.

Druggist is its cognate, although not as frequently heard these days in my experience:
Also, drogisterij would be cognate to drugstore, which is more common these days.
