COME ON FiRST CPU CORE GET iT TOGETHER
I leave one core unused so I can still keep a Discourse tab open.

Look at all this cool shit. If you see a value that doesn't match you can right click and see exactly what line it came from and what were the inputs. Isn't that great?

Blondes are progressing nicely from what I can see, though redheads need some work IMHO...

He better get his shit together. I have always dug redheads, and if I am going to be turned in to a powerplant, I at least want some redhead eye candy.

Oh yeah? Well it hasn't stopped raining yet, and I'm going out anyway..

Just so you know, "we" doesn't mean Microsoft. I know you get confused sometimes

Seriously, £500 to make some table centrepieces and decorate a room?
Just get used to it. Everything is expensive when dealing with weddings. In the end, we got married in Sonoma, CA because it was cheaper than doing it here, due to the fact that only 35 people would travel to California but having it here would have meant inviting 300.
-
Are you sure you went through all the new stuff?
I'm positive I didn't. The only stuff that showed up under
Unread
were posts in imported threads that I'd participated in and the unread posts were the ones after my last post in said threads.I've not bothered going through all the imported threads, nor read stuff before my last posts in those threads.

My marriage cost about $225 IIRC, $150 to get a marriage license and $75 to hire the marriage conductor. We reserved the TV room in the building for a venue, and got a couple of friends as witnesses.
I also bought a bottle of champagne and paid for sushi for everyone, so maybe it was getting on for $300.
Of course, then we had to do two more weddings for the benefit of each of our families, so...

x200 would get you pretty close to what mine cost. I would have been all for just going to the courthouse and calling it good.
Marriage is the only contract that we celebrate with food, booze, music and dancing.

Status: I was just working at my desk and saw something out of the corner of my eye...where something should not be. I turn my head, and nothing is there. Then I see it...there is a motherfucking big ass spider just chilling on my shoulder.
Normally, I have nothing against spiders. I am all for letting them live so they can eat annoying flying insects, etc. But this one had to die because of the near heart attack that he gave me. I had to make an example of him.
I also yelled like a little girl at the moment I realized that there was a motherfucking big ass spider chilling on my shoulder. That was not one of my more masculine moments...

Status: Windows 8.1 Enterprise just crashed while building a project in VS. Who said Windows doesn't crash anymore?

You must have installed software and/or drivers and/or Linux hardware.

With the exception of that last one, a rational person would call that "using their computer". ;)
Does this warrant another "suck it @blakeyrat"? I think it does.

Gibberish.

He may have a point though. All of those installation ISO's on my NAS have never crashed. They are not being used...but they have never crashed.
But, on the other hand...the NAS is Linux. ;)

It doesn't crash; it just errors with style

If it doesn't crash, why did they bother building a crash screen? ;)

Status: My mom was watching a CSI show or whatever. A lady is woken up by her TV turning on. Her coffee maker starts making coffee without anyone putting coffee or water in it. Her 1990s-era digital alarm clock starts displaying random numbers and letters.
She turns off the TV and it immediately turns itself back on. The TV flips through channels. The TV turns itself off. She grabs a knife and opens a door that has about an inch of light visible at the bottom. Fire explodes out of the door because fire is large and can't easily move through things like carpeting and hollow wooden interior doors.
Someone on a street hands some fat guy a thumbdrive and he plugs it into his laptop and runs the program on it to see what it does. The printer next to his laptop immediately sets itself on fire. The explanation he gives is "the firmware update disables the thermal switch that prevents the printer from overheating".
Apparently I need to start buying printers from the toaster manufacturer.

I use OneDrive…
I went to a presentation today on soon-to-be-ex-employer's rollout of OneDrive for Business. I pretty much only went because free lunch; quite a few other people left when they finished eating, too. The rollout will happen while I'm still here, but I don't really care all that much. The presenter was trying to show how to use it to share files with both internal and external people, with and without Microsoft accounts, and spent most of the time I was there logging into and out of various accounts. Yawn.
Speaking of my soon-to-be-ex-employer, I had a phone screen with an HR person from a potential future employer. It was kind of meh, but a former coworker works there, and has been saying very good things about me to the hiring manager. It would mean relocating, but I'm ok with that.

Lies—I never closed that tag!

<a this a tag was never closed.

All I know is that <if your message contains a < then it will be truncated, but it still counts for discolength.

You can also just put in a bunch of nonprintable characters. The only thing that doesn't count is if they're wrapped in [quote] tags.

Those poor suckers don't even have a </> Show Raw button. I pity them.

to share files with both internal and external people, with and without Microsoft accounts,
MS what where you thinking/smoking? Fix that shit! Companies by into your stuff and it mostly works but sharing externally is a PITA! More then it should be. Dear $deity. It's bad enough I have to support internal users on MS and external users on our own software turds but now I have to guide these idiots again and again through the pain of accessing something someone from our side shared with them.

Status: tracking down a bug , but it's 1am...
EDIT: found you! Copied some code for deleting objects in a 'special' list that removes the object from the list, pasted it to use with a normal list, wondered why I got double frees. Would have been quicker just to have written the code out in the first place.
I can go sleep now...

Probably running on Windows hardware though, as evidenced by the lack of crashes
Fire explodes out of the door because fire is large and can't easily move through things like carpeting and hollow wooden interior doors
Opening a door can result in a draft which oxygenates a fire enough for a BIG BADA BOOMI accidentally pressed caps lock at the perfect moment. I'm keeping that

Status: Increasing the cuteness factor of the Nice Post page by, oh, about a million?
I was trying to move the

Speaking of which... When I go in to my profile and look at "likes received", sometimes the same post appears in several places:
Am I the only one or is this a Known FeatureTM?
-
I think it separates the likes received on each Discoday, rather than showing everyone who's liked a particular post all together

And if that were true I should be able to go back and like a post on different days. ;-)

They're like 20 minutes apart on the same Discoday.

That's why I said Discoday, not day

I think it's just broken. Or stupid. Or both.
