STATUS:
Oh cool, a lateral thinking puzzle! I am a lateral thinker.
...
Wait a minute...
From the papers, you can see that one patient has blood type A, another has blood type B, and the last one has blood type O. However, the papers are all mixed up, and you cannot tell which patient has which blood type.
...- Patient A will live after receiving a transfusion of Patient O's blood.
- Patient B will live after receiving a transfusion of Patient O's blood.
- Patient A's blood will instantly kill Patient B and/or Patient O.
- Patient B's blood will instantly kill Patient A and/or Patient O.
- The only way you can learn something about the blood type of a patient is by giving them a transfusion and seeing whether they die.
Wait, so... patients give each other blood? But... who gives blood to the patient with O blood type? Himself? How does that help?!
Screw it, that's too much lateral thinking for me.
-
How about each person gets their own blood?

Status: $1.50 a pound pork loin means I'm unexpectedly doing pulled pork. Need to remember to turn down the crockpot before bed.

Overnight, unattended crock-potting? Not sure if brave or stupid.
Enjoy the pulled pork tomorrow though.

Status: Looking into Firefox extension development. Expected a "Hello World!" example and API reference, instead I found:
Getting started
How to install the SDK and use the jpm tool to develop, test, and package add-ons.
But... all I want is to run a few lines of JavaScript...
-
Follow Chrome's instructions, they should get you started on Firefox too. An extension (or app for that matter) is a SPA with a manifest inside a ZIP file.
Also apps and extensions are basically the same except extensions don't have a UI. IDK about that SDK but it sounds like a lot of work.
-
Yeah, Chrome is easy enough. I guess I could try ignoring the whole SDK thing and just dive into examples, see if I can load them in manually without that guff? I'd hope so.

It should be fine as long as he leaves it on low after the cooking liquid comes to a simmer.

It's nightmarish.
They briefly had an easy-to-use extension development package called (IIRC) "Jetpack" but it didn't support shit and I think they actually ended up giving up on it. Even for the super-simple shit I had to do for my job (3 jobs ago), I had to figure out how to go outside the framework to get a toolbar icon added. Because it didn't support even that. And it was full of bugs.

leaves it on low
I can tell you from experience that 8 – 10 hours of unattended cooking on high does not result in the tasty meal you were expecting.

You're Doing It Wrong. You need pork shoulder.

One of the props on the fake movie studio on UFO is the Doctor Who car. Hahaha.

child support
Shiznit! Your kids are adults!
Yes, but they are both full-time college students. I pay court-ordered support for my son until 21 or until he ceases to be a full-time student, whichever comes first. My daughter is still in college, so I'm still supporting her, although it is no longer mandatory (except payment on the Parent Plus loans I had to take, and continue having to take, out as part of her financial aid package).

Meh...I guess that sort of almost makes sense if you're considering dealing with deadbeat dad types (which vibe I've never gotten from you).

Status: Steam gave me the option to pre-load Dwarf Fortress.
Are you feeling alright, Steam?
-

It's complicated, but I think (one of) the real reason(s) for it is that it allows (allowed, in the case of my daughter) my ex-wife to continue controlling the kids' behavior by controlling the purse strings, even after they turned 18 (and even after my son was declared persona non grata in Mom's house.

Shoulder works better but wasn't like 66+% off. Plus I live alone so pulled is the easiest way to use it over the week it will take me to get through it.

Dad video-called me on Google Hangouts. He left the call before I finished loading in (about 3 seconds after he initiated the call).
Must be time to trade that dhromebook in for a faster ehromebook.

Wondering how they are going to fit a time-spec in one character. Besides, it would make more sense if the regexp was ".?" instead.
Oh, and when they asked for freetext comments, I inserted the x-mas theme scripts. Let's see how they manage that.

Pork chops would have been a much better application. Or you can roast it, but be careful not to cook it past medium well or it can get dry.

**Status:strong text Just installed Eclipse on my Ubuntu workstation for debugging. The base install of Eclipse, as provided by the Ubuntu Software Center, is only a text editor with no access to debugging or compiling! The only option under "New Project" is "New Project", no Java projects, no C++ projects, etc.

It's still an unattended heat source. Risk != 0 (even by Discounting)
Status: yum lunch
You went through all the trouble of doing pulled pork, and you didn't make your own BBQ sauce from the drippings?
Also: yum

Didn't even notice he was using loin. As long as it isn't tenderloin, could be ok.

Have fun. Also, have fun re-writing your extension in a month when they scrap the entire extension framework.

The naaaaame! This is like that "...two speeds, fast and WAY TOO FAST!" ad for Mario Kart, except part of the official name! Someone actually decided to put "waku waku" in the name.

Status: Sidekiq seems to be behind, based on slow appearing notifications. Not sure why. It doesn't seem to be self destructing like it did before, but then we did get some nasty cooties earlier.

Status: We had another earthquake yesterday and no one's mentioned fracking yet in the r/dallas thread that shows up every time there's an earthquake. I'm not sure what happened, but I'm not asking any questions.

One of these days I'll figure out what's the deal with these "Steam trading cards". But not today.

Meme'd that for you.

Status: Sick. Horizontal. Watching old youtube videos.
Status: Sick. Not horizontal, because if I were horizontal, that would be an admission that I am too sick to go to work. If I were too sick to go to work, I'd lose my unemployment benefits for the day(s) I'm sick. Because everyone is a day laborer who must be ready to go to work the same day if someone should call.
Not really lying, because I'm not too sick to work. If I had a job, I'd take some Dayquil®, go to work (and give my cold to everyone else, but hey, I'm not too sick to work) or work from home if allowed, and be at least somewhat productive. Especially if working as a consultant getting paid only for billable hours — no hours; no money — I'd have to be on my deathbed, or at least in the hospital with no computer, to not work in that case.
Edit: KEEP CLAM AND PROOF READ

The point of a crockpot is that you set it before heading to work and come home to dinner, at least I was in the house this way.@Lorne_Kates said:

Crockpot pulled pork. Drippings are hard to come by unless I did a vinegar based one (as I did apple cider vinegar when cooking).

Status: Netgear is fucking retarded. I am setting up a wireless system in my lab, to be deployed tomorrow. I keep getting logged out of sessions so I go to change the session timeout limit. I enter zero, thinking that it will disable the session timeout, as it does on every other system I have ever worked on.
Nope, you login and it immediately logs you back out. Thankfully I just started on this fucking thing, so a factory reset will not make me lose much work.

Status: Why!?
public class Blah { private static Splew GetZokree(IBleeh hroog) { return Gekh.Splof(hroog); } private static void SetZokree(IBleeh hroog, Pfl frg) { Gekh.Voik(hroog, frg); } public interface IBleeh { Fronk Hoig { get; set; } } public partial class SprefBleeh : IBleeh { public Fronk Hoig { get { return GetZokree(this); } set { SetZokree(this, value); } } } }
Basically, the other part of
SprefBleeh
declares it as a subclass of something, and there are four almost identical implementations that, in this file, need some shared implementation, so they're all nested classes calling a parent's methods to do the shared stuff. I hate it.
