How is that even leg...I embellished the story a little for dramatic effect. It's about routing number being wrong (US account numbers are bank-local; you need the bank's routing number too to make a wire transfer. This, and not adopting IBAN, is of course TRWTF). Even though it worked fine for over a year, including last week. And the 2 day deadline isn't for straightening out the paperwork, but for the internal support ticket (that they opened) auto-closing if there's no response. Either way, I'd be significantly more fucked if I didn't check work mail today.

@Gąska When I set up to transfer the yield of my employee stock options from the US to NL, among other things the US bank wanted me to specify a phone number.
Based on the email response I got from my Dutch bank, they went quite on that question.

TFW your wrist hurts but you must open CVS Pharmacy bottle to take your meds.
You can request easier-to-open, non-child-safe bottles.
The bottles I get have a dual purpose lid. One way is child safe (how the pharmacy gives them to me). The other is the "don't make me think in the morning before my coffee" way.
Unless they give my the original bottles. Those are always the find-a-child containers.

Easy as pie:
-
Remotely run this in a loop on one of the PCs: https://www.rlvision.com/misc/beep.php
-
Wait for the angry "IS THERE ANYONE WHO CAN MAKE THAT ANNOYING BEEPING STOP?!" email.
-
Look up the sender name in the employee directory and note the location of their desk.
-
Repeat for next PC.

Unfortunately it's more like "kick it from the domain, wait for someone to complain that it doesn't work, get them to tell us where the fuck it is"
Of course, this depends highly on someone willing to complain.
Edit: that is to say, we already tried the annoying sound trick. That just got them unplugged.

No reason for the cat to replace the dispenser with Skittles, he already has you well trained

Status: Speaking of Reddit, I went to check it out and noticed they have something called "Reddit Recap" which gives some highlights from this year. Some of them make sense (e.g. yes, I made this one comment that got a bunch of upboars) but other ones,
I did what? It was already a hugely popular community before this year, and I think I had already been subscribed
This only makes sense if it counts scrolling past the RPAN card on the homepage. I don't think I've ever actually clicked on it, much less binged it (or even Bing'd it)

I assume it does - mine shows 333 views and I've not watched RPAN either.

@hungrier I dismissed the banner immediately without reading it and now I can’t check what “highlights” it picked.

Ah, yes. Not only is Banana good for scale, it is good for length!
Maybe? Care to explain?
Ah, This post
I suppose it was a good one.
I really should post more politics. I hear that nets you more!
Ah, yes, This comment. Only a few people seemed to find being helpful virtuous.
Really? That much, eh?
I suppose that's as close as Reddit is gonna get. More accurate that Google in any case...
Ohboi I can't wait!
