Status: The weather outside is pretty shit, and the wife is watching crappy cable shows. For the single guys out there, I have a bit of advice: Watch 'House Hunters' a few times and if you ever meet a woman that acts like the cunts on this show...run. For the married men out there with a good wife, watch the show and appreciate your wife so much more.

What if you're married to one of those women on "House Hunters"?
The part that amused me most about that show was the couples with no children who thought that a 2000 square-foot house was impossibly small.

Never seen the show, but if kids are planned then the extra rooms could logically be said to be needed (but I'm guessing that wasn't the case based on complaints).
-
I shall try that and @accalia's suggestion ASAP. Really hope I can get that working...
-

- I would not ever marry one of those women.
- If I did, I would not be married long.

They are all kind of ridiculous. There are the people who have to live in a certain neighborhood. (I have said that I could not live in some areas, but never that I have to live in a specific area.) Those who think that 2,000 sq ft is a cottage. Just all manner of "must haves" that make them sound like impossible bastards.
I think part of it annoys me because I am the type of person who can do, and enjoy, nearly any home remodeling project. I look at the lot, location and the layout. I can make the rest of it suit my family on my own.

Now the question becomes: How much of that is real vs scripted? When that sort of dynamic takes over a reality show, I have a hard time watching.

Reasonable people are easy to find houses for, which wouldn't make for much of a show.

Good question, but I find it hard to believe that women could act like that big of a bitch unless they were that big of a bitch.

I have a hard time watching reality TV at all. Unfortunately, the wife doesn't. Fortunately, the condo we are renting has three bedrooms and a living room all with TVs.

Did you just call me reasonable? It's like you don't know me at all.

Don't worry, it's only in the area of house hunting.

Fair enough. As long as you know I am a bastard in most other respects.

I challenge you to fit a fully NFPA 13D compliant fire sprinkler system to your house as a home remodeling project then. ;) Why? Because full fire sprinklerling is one of the conditions I'd put on buying or building a home for myself -- it's the best fire insurance policy money can buy. (I'm also the type who'd be a pain to custom-build for -- insisting on things like every interior partition being at least 1h fire rated with fully firestopped penetrations and combination fire/smoke dampers for all rooms would do that.)

OK, so we found someone who is a bigger pain in the ass than the women on House Hunters. ;)

Wait until he explains copyright law to us in the other thread, looking forward to that.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

I just hope the next buyer appreciates the peace of mind that a fire-partitioned and sprinklered house would bring ;) (more than they complain about their over-the-door hooks not working because they don't fit over fire doors, that is).
-

This is what we call, "Lucky."
EDIT: No, that's not a swipe at @blakeyrat. I just know what he's referring to.
-

Building I can see, and I'd actually have one installed myself. But buying? That is basically saying "I refuse to buy a house." Unless you basically just don't want a house in the first place and are using that more of an excuse to not get one, I think that's a pretty weird priority to have. :-)

For the married men out there with a good wife
Status: Tonight after finishing dinner (Steak au poivre and fried potatoes), my wife says to me, "That's why I don't care about going out to dinner. It usually isn't as good as what you make." I have a great wife.

I said "home" not "house" -- sprinklered apartments and condos are fairly common in this day and age, and practically ubiquitous if you're in the land of high-rises. (I'd also put that condition on apartments I looked at)

And I said "house" deliberately. :-) I would put that condition on an apartment in a complex as well, for a number of reasons. (Probably not a townhouse.)My point was that if you're saying "should I buy a house or a condo/apartment" and it comes down to which has a sprinkler... that's what I think is weird. :-)

I still need to make it work with other keys than just WANDERER, but nobody else does that as far as I know, and the only other mod that supports alien_selection.txt requires loading it from a MySQL database.

Status: How is it possible for a company to have a product that they want to sell you, yet be unwilling to actually tell you anything about the basic specification of that product so you can check whether it is worth investing effort into a proper investigation of it? Even basic things like the product name and whether one would run it on Windows or Unix seem to be a secret in some cases!
Investigating a whole bunch of Lab Information Management Systems, and some of the vendors seem to have forgotten to actually provide info about the product in the first place, and we don't want an end-to-end “solution” for Reasons.

Status: wondering why i have a pair of 28" waist pants in my laundry. Not only have i not worn that size since.... freshman year highschool i think, but no one else in the house wears that size.... and we do laundry on premisis so i can't even use the laundrymat explanation.

So the walk of shame was especially shameful for someone?

A skinny someone.

Any of your housemates have a boyfriend/girlfriend/other that wears that size?

If they do it's news to me. last i checked they were happily married to each other.

The answer had to be the one base my question didn't cover

Ah, so a quick exit may have been required. That might explain things.

Are you sure about the "happy" part?

i have no interest in finding out otherwise. ;-)

Maybe they have an open relationship? There could be orgies in your room while you are gone.

DO NOT WANT!

There's an April 1st idea for next year: sneak some random piece of clothing into someone's laundry. T-shirt of a sports team that's a rival of the friend's favorite, something of the opposite gender if they are unattached, etc.
-
This sounds like a fun idea!
-
-
do you weant me to bite your ankles off?
;-)
-
I thought of a problem though, which is to really work as an April 1st prank they'd have to actually discover it on the 1st. So you'd have to either know that they're doing laundry that day, or prod them to do it then, or just hope that it works out.
Of course, you could not pay much heed to the April 1st thing and just do it anyway (it's not like pranks are restricted to then).
