Luckily, gave him my business account.
Unfortunately, still have a lot of business stuff on my personal skype. Wasn't always as wise and always right as I am now.

STATUS: Shitting as a guest. There's always that moment after you flush, where you pray to god you don't clog the toilet.

Why is it that everybody always seems to have godforsaken lame toilets? When I get to the bathroom on my renovations, I'll be installing one of those mega crappers they put in gas stations and truck stops. Literally flush a small dog.

This assumption is slightly less inane on linux. @Yamikuronue is complaining about windows.

It also uses GCC on Windows. I was going to post a compile log for that, but it was more than 32000 bytes long.

My last house had an eco-friendly toilet. It certainly saved water per flush by not bloody working worth a damn. You had to give it 4 or 5 flushes or go and get a bucket of water to pour down it (this happened weekly).
This house has a 1970's toilet that fills quickly and releases a huge amount of water. Not one issue since we moved in, thing could probably flush an entire toilet roll.

guess I'm running it on high instead of low for the rest of the day.
Probably should have use high for only part of the day. The "pot roast" couldn't hold itself together enough to be lifted out except in pieces and the potatoes start to mash when you put pressure on them.
EDIT: maybe I should put it back on high and wait the couple hours for it to become stew instead.

I see nothing wrong with that state of affairs.

Status: Spend hours finishing a dumb adventure game only to find that the content I thought was a extra/DLC type thing is actually a full-on sequel game. So now I'm deciding whether I want to play that or not...

On my list for next year. If I could get toilets with a garbage disposal, I would be all over it.
<Fuck the first person that points out macerating toilets. It was a joke

Status: Tonight we had our traditional Xmas Eve meal of Reubens with fries, because...why the fuck not?
Tomorrow, Xmas with the kids. Later in the day my in-laws are coming over and we are making a more traditional dinner. This will likely be prefaced by 10 minutes of my father-in-law talking about how he could never afford to serve his family something as exotic as duck, then a long diatribe that I will stomach until I tell him that if he had a problem with the menu there is a McDonald's 1/2 mile from our house.
Shortly there after he will leave in a tizzy and then after dinner I can curl up on the couch with my boys and my wife and watch old James Bond flicks.
It is nice to have traditions.

I bet you could find someone to bodge something like that together for you.
Hell, I bet you could pay a Mexican coyote to bring you a 5-gallon toilet across the border.
-
exotic as duck
How can it be exotic if you could get it in wherever A Christmas Story was set, back in the 50s?
You should have a McDonald's cheeseburger ready, and just drop it on his plate when you all sit down. "Here, I thought I'd shortcut the annual argument."
Although I guess that means you wouldn't have the fight that gets him to leave until later, so maybe there's a downside.

@ Toady One said:
Lutefisk was consumed waaaaay back on the 20th. I have only now regained the ability to speak. It was more like fish cartilage than fish jello this time. We all survived. As part of the holiday maelstrom, I found myself working on something I could do in fits and starts, rather than any concentrated period of time, so now we've got giant and person versions for most of the original animals. The newer animals from the sponsorship drive came with those forms, but we never did have giant elephants and various large bears and all the great cat people and so forth.
I also fixed some of the problems with visitors vs. retired sites, and various minor typos and issues.
Status: @accalia and @Fox (and @drurowin, for you pre-WTDWTF veterans) people are being added to Dwarf Fortress. @blakeyrat is already in the game, along with Bruce.
Also, giant elephants are going to be awfully fun.

I kind of thought that too, honestly. I think I said so at one point.

Status: trying out Windows To Go. Oddly enough, it's just about as performant as a local installation. Granted, it is on a USB 3.0 hard drive that has about the same performance capability of the drive already in the machine...
Now at least I have a working emergency copy of Windows when the primary disk fails. But... Considering the test disk has actually FAILED S.M.A.R.T. I'm going to move the vhd file to another disk....

wherever A Christmas Story was set
Hammond, IN. Filmed in Cleveland, OH (and at least some interiors in a studio in Toronto, ON).
back in the 50s
1939 or 1940. Wizard of Oz references suggest 1939, and a wall calendar is for December of 1939 (although the year is not actually shown). However, according to IMDB, the decoder ring points to 1940.
How can it be exotic
I'd guess probably hunted locally. No, not exotic; scarce and/or expensive, perhaps, but not exotic.Thanks for making me pull out my DVD. I might actually do something Christmasy, rather than just sitting around being depressed.
-

I knew it was around there but CBA to look up the right state, because I knew some pendant would come along and find out for me.
-

I was thinking it was Bloomington. I pulled out my DVD to check, but I couldn't quite make out what adult Ralphie said (but it definitely wasn't Bloomington) during the opening voice-over, so I had to resort to IMDB. I'm glad I put the DVD on, though; watching it may be the most Christmasy thing I do this year. I haven't even bothered pulling out the cheap, plastic tree that's in my attic.

As I understand it, before cage farming took off in the sixties, duck was more common than chicken, which was viewed as a delicacy.

Status****strong text Moar food porn!
Christmas eve dinner at the father-in-laws. Beef wellington. Bought an entire tenderloin of beef a while ago, froze a nice chunk just for this occasional. (Still have several tenderloin steaks in the freezer-- already used the chain for cheese steaks. Have a petite roast too).
Capped the night off with Jamie Oliver's Bonkers Bread & Butter Panettone Pudding Tart:

Status:
Had a skype job interview with a large company. Aced the technical interview. By the time we were talking terms, I decided I don't really want to change jobs after all. We part way on good terms.
Never heard the salary number, which was the main reason I responded to the recruiter's email in the first place.
Wasted both our times, basically.
I'm an idiot.

Naa you're not. Better to discover it now before spending 3 months there, leaving and finding another job like I did.

Am I really an awesome person? I never finished the series. I think I stopped around the end of Season 3?
Fun fact: I knew Comex not from iOS jailbreaking but from him running the forum hosting a fan made online TCG called CLTCG.
I had an even worse username then.
-
Yes you are.
I did about the same thing - I stopped after Season 2 and didn't watch it for a while. Then I caught up because Youtube :)

RIP Techlinks/Teklinks. 13 year olds pirating CL every day ;)

Status: My wife sprinkles glitter on the floor for the boys to show where Santa walked when he delivered gifts. It is supposed to appear magical or something.
In reality, it just looks like we hosted a stripper convention.

Let's see who Discourse think I should talk to: @Placeholder was chosen by the crazy auto-completion. That kind of makes sense, he is a placeholder, Discourse put him as default when I typed @.
I do it again, and @JBert was selected, Discourse must think I have something to tell him. And hi @LB_, how you doing?

I just typed the @, and nothing else, the options poped with you as first option. Each time I do it, it brings a different selection.
