Sounds fucking cold. Fortunately, we're in the 50s / 60s.
Sounds like Boomzilla's unit-Martian shoulder aliens struck again!

I'd say I didn't see this coming. I'd be lying.

Stupid unit of measurement joke? Really?
Give a man 1.32 king's thumbs, he takes 422.4 elephant tusks.

Really?
Are you new? I was shocked earlier this week when it got up into the 70s (that's 70ties to you pervs). At least I had already taken the day off to take my Cub Scouts on an outing.

Status: Bonus from work. Several hundred dollars larger than a normal paycheck, but after taxes it's several hundred dollars less than a normal paycheck. Yay taxes!

Status: Pulled out my laptop and turned on the WiFi AP on my phone purely due to the fact that Dicksores is so taxing on my poor phone that my music player crashes while using it...

I miss my TL3... 4? Whatever "Leader" was. Now that I actually want to use some of the powers I don't have them... humph.
Yeah, this gamification thing is really working. Makes me want to create a bot just to gather attendance for TLs. Yay.

I'm pretty sure there's a TVTropes thing about it, but I don't want to go to that website to look it up and lose the next 72 hours of life.

i'm a cyborg. Sockbot keeps me up to date in /t/1000 and keeps my attnedance high
also keeps me at 100% readership by reading all the posts older than 72 hours (whenever it runs that check, which should be roughly every 72 hours IIRC)
-
I moved 10 posts to a new topic: RAID is the best backup

/t/1000
That place... I have an urge to go back but I'm several thousand posts behind... Yes, I know how that thread works and that it really doesn't matter, but I'm bothered by skipping stuff...
EDIT: How in the hell did you eat just the beginning of my sentence, Discourse?

did you know that likes are temporarily unlimited?

Where the hell is my liking script I stole from someone...

was yesterday. PJH hasn't changed it back yet. no idea how long that's going to last.
also there's one here:

No, they're not unlimited - I just put a silly number in there.

close enough. the important fact is the limit is over 30k so one can like the entire likes thread in a day and not run out. (or so i presume)

The old Leader (now Regular) was TL3.

Like limit is currently set really high if you want to catch up ...

Discourse over RDP: Painful. Very painful.

Status Addendum: I may be participating in my first indoor pistol match tomorrow. Certain parties may be relieved to know that no animals will be shot barring any seriously unlikely but potentially hilarious situations such as an unexpected break-in by large wildlife.

Status: last day in this job is just about over. I'm basically sticking around to read TDWTF at this point

my first indoor pistol match tomorrow
Standard target, speed, or tactical (though some of those are less likely to be done inside than others)?
-
Honestly I'm not sure. It's IDPA but I haven't had time to thoroughly research yet. It's only $10 to enter, and it's in the morning in a city where I'm going to be visiting friends anyway. They'll probably all sleep in until it's over.
I've long realized my pistol marksmanship won't improve just standing at the firing line and shooting at stationary paper targets. One advantage about my move into the city is there are actually shooting sports here so I want to get involved.
-
It's IDPA
OK, a lot of their stuff is different distances and draws but not a full tactical course (no running around) IIRC.
-
Sounds like it might be a good place to start then. I'm not ready for tacticool run-and-gun along with all the Tim Allen grunting about how awesome holo sights are or how [insert model here] is the One True Handgun.

Welcome to Discourse. I see the software has given you an appropriate introduction to how it works.

Clearly, one of them appeared to fail, but actually succeeded:

Also, an introduction to Discotime.

Looking at almost 90 "Good Post" notifications
And another 60.Why does opening the notifications pop-up mark all the "Nice Post" and "Good Post" notifications as read, even when there are too many to see all of them, but looking at your profile's notifications page, where you can actually see them, not mark them read?

yep.... getting those now too.

Not annoying at all. At least I rarely post in there.

I just got 248 notifications. Wow.

i should regret that i probably caused most, if not all of them....
but i don't.... not really.....
sorry?
(also @pjh i've had my fun how, turning the likes limit back to something reasonable would probably be a good idea...)

Installing PHP on my Win7 laptop. Because Perl and Python weren't enough.

Watching Jeff Beck play with a hippie permed chick on bass and a guy that has a windowless panel van on drums.

Python is:
- download
- unzip
0238908234. one line in scripts - a couple config lines
and Bob's your uncle.
I'm not willing to put more effort into PHP.

I thought PHP installation didn't need much more effort than that. Perhaps we could get @Arantor to write a Malbolge or Befunge interpreter in PHP or something.

Also: status: today was Friday #3 this week. Sadly I only have one more vacation day this year.

Doesn't seem like it. Even Perl was easier.
