Probably with one of these chips in it:

your only known interest is facebook, because you created an account there. that kind of make sense

Possibly. I'm trying to figure out if I have anything that can act as a spectrum analyzer to pinpoint where it is. Sadly, I don't think I have that kind of equipment here in the house...
I think the most likely culprit is the barcode scanners provided by my dad's work, though they're all claiming to be connected to one of the secondary Wifi networks....

In this video: blakeyrat finds a game with less intuitive controls and a worse UI than Dwarf Fortress.

Is there a video where you play Dwarf Fortress? I'd watch the fuck outta that.

That lime chicken from the leftovers tin.
Some black beans.
Some leftover pico de gallo.
Zero fucks.Boil water, drop in noodles. Remove from heat. Combine chicken, beans, pico in the Tupperware that held the chicken. Make tongs out of two forks and transfer the noodles. Nuke for 2 minutes. Serves 1. 615 calories. Ready in 4 minutes.

Maybe I should make a thread where I post all my videos.
I could call it something like, "blakeyrat's videos thread" or something.

I just installed NodeBB for a private forum.
It took 30 minutes to do, from my Nexus 7 via JuiceSSH, by manually (excruciatingly) typing in the commands. While pushing the cart around at the supermarket. I screwed up once.
I have yet to successfully install .
I'm not sayin anything, but I'm just sayin...

Why does the man with a penis on his head have a penis painted on the outside of his pants?
-
That is actually a pretty impressive collection of unusual outfits. I kinda like the fourth from the right.
-
Do you also wear pants pulled up to your armpits and no shirt?
-
No, and neither does that guy. He's wearing some sort of corset-like thing.

ripping the engine out of my car, changing spark plugs
Wow... what car requires you to remove its engine to replace those? A diesel one?

Subaru BRZ. Previous Subaru engines ALMOST required it, but had just enough room that you could kinda halfass it.
This car with this engine? engine has to come up 6 inches so you can have a 3 inch gap to jam your hands and tools into and do the plugs. If you have ham hocks for hands like I do, well, unbolt the transmission because getting it up as high as you already did required 90% of the work to take the engine out anyway.
Got it done in almost exactly the estimated dealership time, which is fantastic. The plugs themselves also cost $20 each.

I think US should do a Yes/No election just with her jk
I think this is a very good idea and I would be first in line to vote No.
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates to the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards?"
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?"Filed under: Cthulu 2016 - Why bother with the lesser evil?

I once tried to use the thing, and there are actually some nice interfaces for it, even isometric ones. Ben apparently just wants you to suffer through dealing exclusively with a terminal.

Status Car is getting way too bumpy. I really want to replace the shocks myself except, after watching a YouTube how-to, except:
- I don't have a jack
- I don't know which one to buy
- I'm worried I'll jack it wrong () and crush myself
- I don't know if it's the shocks or some other part of the suspensions system, and have no idea how to diagnose.
I need to learn more about :car:

@Lorne_Kates said:
2) I don't know which one to buy
Two tonne trolley jack will be fine. You're not jacking up the whole car in one go.
You'll need other tools too, natch.@Lorne_Kates said:
3) I'm worried I'll jack it wrong () and crush myself
Get some axle stands and you'll be fine.

The last time I did shocks, a cutting torch was required. But that particular vehicle was 20 years old and still on the original shocks.

Same as any game, I play it as-shipped.
The only change I made was to double the window size, and change it to a 720p-ish aspect ratio. (Which I got wrong, as you can see from the final video.) It turns out simply doubling the font size requires installing a custom font which is arguably modding, but go figure: it's a shitty game.

Status: ok so I have this high-priority, low time, task to complete. My boss constantly reminds me that the most important thing is to have something working out the door ASAP.
So I put it up in code review, and what happens?
-
My boss suddenly starts proposing all of these HUGE changes requiring me to re-test EVERYTHING. ("Why did you use
BackgroundWorker
? You should have rolled-out-own worker thread virtually identical toBackgroundWorker
, so you could useThread.Join()
instead of polling!" "Uh...?" "Every place you used string concatenation, you should have usedstring.Format()
!" "Uh...?" -
The really really annoying QA guy gets added to the code review, proceeds to tell me everything is wrong forever and it needs more unit tests. There's nothing to unit test. The entire app consists of REST API calls to another app, which would be virtually impossible to mock.
-
I hate everything.
Ok. So now I have to test everything. Literally every single error condition and literally every single API call needs to be retested now. Awesome. I love it. Why did I even bother to test if it worked before I put it up for code review, I should have just not done anything at all Thursday and Friday of last week except scratching my ass, I'd be in the same place now as I was then.
And I just know he's going to be pissy when I tell him I can't check-in the code review changes until EOD Tuesday, because it takes two solid days JUST TO SET UP A TEST CASE FOR THIS THING. In fact, that's actually faster than the first time I had to test it, because I have some nice Excel sheets I can use to shortcut some stuff now.
And that's assuming I can even start on setting up the test case by this afternoon, God knows, I still haven't spoken to really annoying QA guy to see what he expects me to do, or how long that will take.
