@Weng Sodium intake levels matter fuckall in regards to weight loss or gain. Unless you have blood pressure issues (which...with your job is a high probability), I would not worry about it.

Sodium intake affects water retention, but it's a fairly short-term effect.

Yeah, but they do nothing positive or negative for fat loss or gain.

Status: Wondering why it took so long for a package to arrive, so I looked up the tracking. Apparently it got stuck in some kind of shipping loop and transited between Kansas City, MO and Omaha, NE several times before breaking out and actually coming my way.

@Onyx I think in order to even have a dumb hand like this, you'd need to have one of each of three winds and the green dragon in the dead wall, and three of every wind in your hand, and draw the fourth and last wind on your turn, which makes you chain draw the last four and win with a multiplier that might make a pro cry...
Like you're probably more likely to win the lottery.
-
@Magus Also, this post literally just 'd itself into the thread. WTF NodeBB?
-
@MathNerdCNU And mot555's just jumped over mine. Yeah, this is weird.
-
@MathNerdCNU You can't have five kans! There would be no dead wall to draw from!

@Magus My Mahjong knowledge is limited to Microsoft Mahjong for baby-dumb-dumbs. DON'T JUDGE ME!

I hate when that happens. I once had a package that made it all the way to my city before then going to Chicago, New York City, Atlanta and then back to my city to be delivered.

@MathNerdCNU I expect that's like observing a bridge match when all you've ever played is patience.
Never played either proper mah-jong or bridge
-
@Polygeekery Yes, but sodium is yummy and makes me want to eat larger portions.
I may be wired strangely.

Though I'll admit I do have a limit when it comes to sodium alone...

What's not right is that this is inside the loop.
Hey guys! I heard that sometimes the directory disappears while we're writing stuff to it! Gotta make sure it's there for each file operation!

@Tsaukpaetra Lo, though I walk through the Valley-of-VB, the C# is my Shepard. Something something, doesn't matter idiots wrote this borg-app and all I can do is channel my inner H. R. Giger! May Cuthulu Fathan have mercy on my mortal soul.

@MathNerdCNU said in The Official Status Thread:

No. This is not just idiocy. I don't even know what to call this.
And to think, all I want to do is add a simple progress bar to the app so the users know if it's done executing or not!

Nothing.
No, wait, changed my mind, call it stupid instead.

I may be wired strangely.Not at all. Not in the slightest, really. Sodium used to be one of the limiting characteristics of our civilization. We were wired to crave it. When we found it, we would binge on it due to it being so rare. We need it for life and all that.
But, now we mine it from the ground with giant machines by the 100's of tons per hour and those same animalistic instincts are still at play.

It's not too difficult to learn to have no more than you need. It does take a bit for your tastes to reset. The main thing to watch out for is the amount of salt added in pre-prepared food; that's often higher than it needs to be.
All of which doesn't matter much if you have certain kidney conditions, some of which can make you need much more salt than normal and others of which can make you need much less. On the other hand, you tend to get pretty good at getting the amount you need once you've learnt to not oversalt everything by habit.

The sound used to be different when only one phone rang and when multiple ones rang. We don't know now if it's one phone or multiple ringing!
fiddles with custom SIP headers and phone-specific features to provide different ringtones for different routes
What are you testing?
Different ringtones for different routes, like you used to have on the old PBX
... we never had that? Who told you that?
No, no, same tone, but we heard the difference.
...
It was different! You could hear it!
Wait... those used to do make a ringing sound, not this electronic thing... Did you hear it because you could hear that better than this, not because it was different?
... probably?

Status: I've been emailed a bunch of
.docx
files to review. They have been helpfully zipped to save space, but each one has been zipped separately.The thing about
.docx
, of course, is that it is a zip archive anyway. So zipping the files up has done nothing apart from giving me the extra step of unzipping before I can read them

It sometimes helps avoid e-mail filters.

Look, I know unzipping your fly can seem like an unnecessary step but the rest of us really appreciate it.

Speak for yourself, pervert! I personally prefer that everybody walks around the office with his fly properly closed.

@Luhmann I would explain how that's exactly what I meant and how my post clearly states that, but honestly my brain is so scrambled right now I don't even know what I posted any more.

Struggling with frontend crap. Another potentially sweet solution shot down by the lack of IE9 support.
I wonder how much extra work, sweat and tears Microsoft could have prevented by adding just one additional HTML5 feature or two.
-
@cartman82 features that weren't standardised when it came out?
The reason IE causes headaches is purely its longevity. Nobody (except @Lorne-Kates) uses a version of Firefox or Chrome from that far back, but part of the appeal of IE to businesses is its stability
-
@Tsaukpaetra Depends on how complicated the search is?
Is it just a simple text search, or a complicated RegEx, or something that requires 57 joins, or...? Is the average record size 4k or 30 gigabytes?
It strikes me as a bit long, but without knowing what you're searching for it's impossible to answer.

Thank you for updating Skype (like you had a choice) - now save your Skype video messages, like GoToMeeting has been able to do since forever. Also, this won't work, requires you have a Microsoft Cloud account or some bullshit. By the way, we've also reduced the video quality, put ads on the calls-- and good news, this update includes as TOTALLY AWESOME update to the Terms of Use that gives us even more unfettered access to your private information. Enjoy the new user interface that we shuffled around for literally no good reason.

@Lorne-Kates Speaking of Skype,
I've just got access to my company's Skype for Business, 4 months after joining.
Due to licensing reasons, I can't sign in on my own machine. I have to open a remote desktop style application and sign in on that. This means that I won't get any flashing in my main taskbar when I get a message, I'll have to periodically look at the taskbar on a different window which has no other use. I also need to remember to go to the link to launch the remote desktop thing, click through into my account and open skype every time I log in.
I guess I still won't be using it
