Battery Status: Successfully didn't burn my house down... yet.
There are four more not in this picture, currently on the charger.
Why do you need a charger for pipe bombs?

How else would I make sure they're ready to go at the critical moment?

I drink cold brew now. It's great; you can just grab it out of the fridge and drink it. It comes in bottles, cans, or you can brew it yourself.
Can't believe you invented a way to make coffee even worse. Good job!

I think the final tally was around 5 or 6 hours. Don't know, because I left for class in the evening. And this morning, it has to install the extra components again.

Status: Leaving town for a week to get some change in environment this summer. Saw a horrible crime against fashion at the station. Someone wearing jeans bell bottoms, suit jacket, shirt and tie, tophat and what looked like a padlock hanging from his ear.

I don't mind, really, just that it's counter-productive to getting things done...

Don't leave it installing stuff in the background? It's one of the better behaved ones, actually quitting when you tell it to rather than hiding in the tray.

I'm not signed in, and apparently you can't turn auto-update off until you're signed in?
Or... at all?
I don't understand...
-
@Tsaukpaetra I think it's set per game.
edit: or it might just be where you manage your games. I'm on the wrong computer to check.

Considering I'm pretty sure I don't have anything but the source code packages (of the engine) installed and not games, this seems to bring up even more questions, as you have to manually update that...

Don't run it at startup. Run it when you want to play a game or get the weekly free stuff.
I also have a bunch more settings in there, but I'm logged in all the time too. There is an "Allow Auto-Updating" setting down by the list of installed games as well as one for each individual game in its own menu.

Ah. I only use it for playing games, not for development.

Yeah, though technically possible to get the source code separately (via GitHub), it's a lot easier to do it through the launcher. And you can't download plugins without the launcher (even the free ones) so whatever...

Status: One good thing about being out in the dry Intermountain West is that when it rains, it actually cools things off tremendously. The downside is that it so rarely rains.

Yeah. Supposedly we're planning on actually being allowed to have fires in the forest now!

Status: Where's my shit at, China Post?

@hungrier IME there's always a delay with tracking for Chinese logistics. It's probably already left China.

Status: In 10 hours I'm moving to the other side of the world. I guess I should pack my clothes now.

I've had stuff shipped from China before so I know the tracking can be somewhat hit-and-miss, but for this particular package I paid extra for expedited shipping - estimated arrival between July 14 and 21. For comparison, another package ordered around the same time without (explicit) expedited shipping (estimate: July 23 - September) is already tracking as having passed customs in Canada.

Welcome to the other side of the world! (Although if 10 hours from that post was your departure time, you're almost certainly still in transit. But welcome anyway.)

Status: My work Lunix vm is doing that thing again where videos don't play in the browser, and this time it seems permanent. It happens across all websites and embedded videos, with or without the VPN, after restarting, etc.

@HardwareGeek from his current posting I’d say he either took a super-sonic flight or is still sitting on the runway and killing time on WTDWTF.

status you too git.
So I have a feature branch (local) that is based on the dev branch (local, which is just a copy of origin). Pull that. Cool. Switch to feature branch, 14 changes to add. Rebase.
:git:: LOL. Nope! Stash your changes first.
: There are no changes.
:git:: LOL. Yes there are!
: (proceeds to create a new branch off dev and cherry pick my changes into that - with no conflicts, mind you.)I'm barely half way into my first coffee. Not the way to start a Friday...

If killing time were murder, WTDWTF would be genocide.

My not-COVID has been on a surprisingly regular schedule. For now I have coughing and dizziness. In a couple hours I should spend 20-30 minutes hacking stuff up, then I'll be able to breathe again but I'll be exhausted.

Status: Spent most of last week writing a 15-page epic design which it will take me at least a week to get everyone else to read so we can decide which of the 14 suggested subprojects we're going to actually implement.
I wonder what I'll be doing in the meantime.
