I'm guessing it has to do with how reptile is the best mortal kombat character.
Do you know what thread this is? Are you new here?

And now it's 11:45am and I've yet to get started on work I had scheduled for today.
Sounds like time for you to say, "fuck you, and fuck the money, give me booze instead."

Status: So in Digimon, I reached the challenwhere I have to fight Imperialdramon Paladin Mode (Arguably the strongest Digimon, previously unarguably). Except there are three of him. Two seem to be fakes, but if you kill them he gets stronger. So I figured I'd raise some good Data types (since he's Vaccine, which Data is strong against). I got myself a Hackmon with the needed camaraderie and ability scores to become Jessmon, so now it's a matter of leveling. I got SuperStarmon well on the way to becoming Gankoomon and Risegreymon ready to become Examon too. I think this will all go just fine.
Getting to just before the last boss has opened up really expensive stat raising items, so getting them where I need them is much easier now. I also really like my current party, because it's all powerful jogressed Digimon: Chaosmon, Mastemon, Omegamon: All three of them have are asymmetrical fusions.
I miss screenshots of Dwarf Fortress.

Status: My laptop wants to reboot to install an update. The update it wants to install is KB3176934. This is the update that is reported to break PowerShell. IT does stuff that pops up transient PS windows about 573 times a day. (No idea what they do; nothing is ever echoed to the window.) This should be fun.

Status: finished watching Batman v Superman. It's awful - Chris'sake, DC, dump Snyder, give Nolan a huge bag of money and put him in the director's seat. The entire conflict stems from both Batsy and Supes holding the idiot ball for the entire bloody movie, and Lois Lane keeping the other one for herself (I particularly loved the scene where after Superman nearly gets killed, she's left alone with a kryptonite spear and decides to just toss it into a well. Not 5 minutes later, the spear turns out to be quite necessary to defeat the villain, so she dives for it, promptly gets trapped underwater by a falling wall and nearly drowns).
Except for Lex Luthor. The entire movie is grimdark, broody and full of deep looking morality tracts, and Eisenberg just cheerfully doesn't give a shit and strolls through the movie with a smile on his face like Joker off his ADD meds. And it's amazing.

@Maciejasjmj I honestly think Affleck would have made a decent Batman if it weren't for the script of BvS. Not even in a "anyone would be better than Clooney" way either.

Snyder is turning into a new version of M Night Shyamalan - went from "Oh cool, I loved the 300!", to "God, not another grimdark CGI destruction porn snore fest".
-
@cartman82 but unlike M. Nighthawk Shamallamadingdong you can't have fun with his name and still be somewhat comprehensible to other people.
Like with Beeswax Crumpetpunch the actor who was in that film with those people.

Hell, I like grimdark comic movies. It's just that BvS tries to be grimdark with a script that after taking away the pompousness is just plain dumb.

It's apparently supposed to be Luthor's origin story or something. Hell, BvS' Luthor isn't even bald until the last few scenes.

Status: going through my inbox now that I'm off of OWA and things are easier.
I don't know if I mentioned this before (would have been around 8/10) But boy is this conversation irritating.
From:
, my team is responsible for creating the output files, which the {redacted} team is emailing to you. The {redacted} team reached out to my team yesterday claiming that {client} was not processing our files. I dug down through the email chain and found the following statement from :
βThe information in the excel spreadsheets you are sending is illegible until each document is reformatted and it is taking extra time to process the {company} requests.β
I reviewed the requirements sheet you recently sent over and notice no mention of how you expect the columns to be formatted (data type, etc.). Can you please provide some examples of the data which your team is having to reformat and the format you expect it in?
Also, can you explicitly spell out any other issues you are seeing with our file? We understand that the new file did not have the β#β in the header names, this is type of column header makes automating processes like these very finicky. Therefore, Iβm hoping the column names is not the source of contention with this file.
From:
Hi,
The forms submitted by and have been completely fine and user friendly for the last 2 years. The issue came up when began requesting the files a couple weeks ago. If can use the form that had been used for years, I think all issues would be resolved.Thanks
From:
The problem is, we have automated this process, thus reducing manual intervention. Our automated process does not use templates, but rather creates the file each day. I believe we can find a solution, but really need to understand the error(s) you are getting.
BTW, this automated process seems to work fine for the other 100+ orders we generate with it.
From:
One issue we see is some cells that contain numbers are coming over formatted as text.
The other issue is that the column width isnβt formatted to autofit the correct width for the information included in the cell.
From:
There are a lot of emails. Should we all get on a call to discuss? We need to bring this issue to closure as soon as possible to prevent negative impacts to the business.
From:
If a call is necessary I am available from 10-12 and 1-2 est time today.
No response for two weeks (and counting). Apparently making the data file pretty for the users wasn't important after all.
FML.

I hate people who insist at reviewing a computer-processed file in Excel and then complaining about leading zeroes being missing. They're not! Excel is lying to you!

@Tsaukpaetra I assume if he ever comes back, a reminder that Japan remembers Godzilla will hearten him.

Status: The wife has been out of town for 9 hours and our oldest is already driving me up the wall. I love that kid, but goddamn he needs a buffer person around so he can spread out the energy some.
Also, he broke some concentrated air freshener thing in his bathroom, so that entire part of the house smells like...I don't fucking know? But just imagine 90 days worth of air freshener being released in seconds. I have the vent fan on in there, and the door closed and it is still making me sick to be around that end of the house.
Also, I am out of any booze worth drinking.
God.
Damnit.

Status: Just had to contact a seller about a copy of Super Metroid I bought from them because they sold it advertised as "tested and working" but it doesn't work and when I opened it, the battery was missing.
Insert "well there's your problem" meme here.
I just hope the contact seller option for the eBay app on iPad actually sends the picture I took, but while I was writing the post, they already replied. Now to do a return process, then see if I can find another copy for roughly the same price.
Updated Status: The seller decided to refund me without wanting the item back. I've had that happen before on another item due to USPS smashing a box and the item inside, so that seller claimed they'd recoup it from the insurance, but this one is just a straight loss for the seller.
It makes me feel a bit like a dick, to be honest.

Maybe Goku will go Kaioken x100 while Blue?

I heard many people say that it "ruins their experience" because they have to focus on text.
Well, it ruins my experience when they are flapping their mouths and nothing comes out! Also, the original performance is lost, but fuck foreign actors, I guess.

@Onyx it all changed when the Saiajin attacked.
Basically, Z started off explaining that Goku is half alien, and started him fighting against various aliens and magicians. It's more serious than the original, which was a cartoon adaptation of journey to the west are its core.
This part of the story mostly deals with the gods of their universe, which apparently is one of twelve or so ruled by the God of Everything. One of these gods has lately gone mad and started exterminating planets in Goku's name, so they're off to murder him.
