@Lorne-Kates Looked better in the preview image.
I'll be sure to pass your critique onto that stranger who I don't know who is ancillary to my video, who is wearing a homemade Godzilla costume.

@Lorne-Kates Thank you.
Ask him for like $10/$15 for my services, also. Canadian bucks are ok, but convert them to real money before delivery.

Status: My employer has slammed the brakes hard on most spending. They won't even pay for lunch at all-day meetings. They didn't even do this in the depths of the last spending freeze. Hmm...

Joined the running club at work. I was the only one who wanted teaching rather than just running 5k, so I had a 1-1 session with the instructor once everyone else finished their warm up and went.
During said warm up, my shorts split from the crotch down to near the hem. To say I was embarrassed would be an understatement

While we're sharing stories, I wore swim trunks two days ago at a social pool party event. They must have shrunk significantly or something, it was difficult to walk and sit down comfortably.

Which gets blocked at work because it has the word "download" in it.

Status: So, I need Mapnick to serve some rendered map tiles. Problem: The easiest installation uses Apache2. I need websockets, however, and Apache2 doesn't play nice with those.
Solution: Let Apache2 listen only to localhost on port 8080 and then use nginx as a proxy which forwards requests to certain URIs off to the map server. Yes, it's horrible but the only solutions for a Mapnik/nginx combination I found were from 2013.
The best of those instructed me to clone their Github repo and then use
install.sh
to automatically configure everything.Only problem: There's no file named
install.sh
. And according to the commits, there never has been.

TIL: Visual Studio 2015 doesn't care if you put in the wrong registration code. It happily installs as the trial version. IT discovered this when trying to apply the current patches to the build machine. Yes, the trial has expired.

I was wondering about that. I wonder if there's any way to tell. Mine just says "Product key entered" in the About pages...

No idea. Didn't look before (after I made sure they selected the proper options - C++ is not default). And it looks like it's a answer-me-dammit-or-I-close-the-app type of registration dialog.
Oh, and I use the fully registered MSDN version on my computer.

Status: I think I had some nutrients missing because earlier I drank an entire 46oz can of tomato juice in the span of 15 minutes.
Just to get them out of the way...
Status for later tonight: I feel like I drank a quart and a half of battery acid and my guts hurt.
Status for even later tonight: Just had some manner of horrible bowel movement from drinking a quart and a half of tomato juice in a quarter hour.

@end said:
Not sure exactly how to handle that, but for now I would just remove any explicit replies as part of the combining and come up with some kind of improvement later.
LOL ok.

You know, it's OK if you don't upvote all of them.

@bb36e Pages are hard.

@HardwareGeek i think pagination, along with scrolling are the hardest problems in computer science. knuth tried to solve them, but went crazy in the process. this is why we have TeX.

Status: Wondering why :nod: marks "mention" notifications "read" as soon as I enter the thread, even if I haven't actually seen the new post yet, but doesn't ever mark "upvote" notifications "read" without following the link, even if I'm looking right at the post when the vote arrives. Also, why does it have to do a full page reload to show me the post I'm already looking at?
Edit: Rhetorical question. I'm ranting, not looking for an explanation of :nod:'s workings.

Streaming is hard.
And since this thread is about to get to a new page, and that page will be blank, I'll also add: counting is hard.

Y'know, I was thinking of that today. No idea.

@cartman82 Don't know about the other banks, but HSBC ATMs will show available banknote type in the screen waiting you to insert card. Most of the ATMs don't have $1000 notes, and on paydays $500 would occationally be running out. If you don't see the note type you prefer, you find another ATM to do withdrawal.

Yup. I have to pay my parent for my family's expense.
My father has gone many years ago, and I shoulder most of my family's expense.

The largest common denomination round here is £20. There might be a few that do £50, but I can't remember seeing one.
Oh, hang about, you're in Hong Kong? OK, then $1000 is just large for an ATM and not O!M!G!
