Golden Bell whatever the fuck, from Hong Kong, is pretty alright. Doubtless they make like 50 things. This one came in a square box from the back room of a Chinese restaurant. It was a pretty box....
Oh well. Ouzo, to @boomzilla cutting back the tendrils of Codethulhu. You yourself, @blakeyrat, can still entirely go fuck yourself.

I hate to break this to you, but Hong Kong is not in Korea.

Rock on. The best thing to come out of Korea since Gangnam Style.
Soju came out of Korea long before Gangnam Style, so your statement makes no sense.

I need to try soju one of these days. They had it at all the Koren fried chicken places I went to in NYC, but it was fuckton expensive per serving, and I wouldn't drink a whole bottle by myself. (wife was on IVF meds, so 0 alcohol).
Looked it up, and at least New York, Soju specifically is exempt from a lot of liquor classifications, for some reason. Restaurants can sell it with just a beer license-- which is a hell of a lot cheaper, and they pay less tax on it.
The LCBO has a few varieties of Soju. I might learn to make Koren fried chicken, buy a bottle and try it at home.
How does it compare to sake?

KFC? You can buy that lots of places here in the US.

Went back to work today, feel like shit.
I need to get independently wealthy somehow. Maybe selling plasma...

Fuck, it isn't? Because I know that already, and never said it was. And thanks for reminding me to drink!

Lightweight. I think the most my Mum ever had was 13, and she would have had more but was too busy with the chickens, ferrets and dog.

Hunting Firefox bugs in my application.
In my ember.js application.
This is after the entire browser froze 2 times once I set a breakpoint.
TIL Firefox is turning into a complete pile of garbage. What's Mozzila doing? Mandatory built-in pocket integration. At this point, the sooner they go bankrupt, the better browser market will be.

Do the built-in dev tools work?

Crappily. My breakpoints don't trigger, but at least I can see the sources and the entire house of cards doesn't collapse.

I don't use Firefox often. But every time I do, I am surprised by how crappier the experience is than the last time I did.
-
Which we'd be able to do if we hadn't updated :(

I found it unbearable years ago. You must be a glutton for punishment.

Everybody else realized that around version 4. Thanks for joining us, but what you're saying isn't exactly shocking.
The funny thing is Chrome's dev tools are utter ass, but they still work better than that.

In all fairness, that's a screenshot of Firebug which is simultaneously the absolute best web-browser dev tool, and the absolutely fucking worst at one or two things (like performance, or remembering where you set breakpoints).
FireFox is still an ongoing shit-conversion though. That point stands.

**Status:**strong text Got in to the office this morning, and only a few lights are on in the hall: emergency power only. Turns out the other building(s) in the office complex are out too. Building management says the power company is aware of the problem--and it's apparently them, not us. Estimates bounced from 10:30 to 9:30 to noon for "when we'll have power again". Since my computer won't even turn on, and the internet, and thus, phones, are down, I went home until noon. I can play Minecraft all morning and check my email every once in a while via webmail, at least, and answer customer questions that don't require me to run anything or look up anything.

When coding, do you ever get stuck at the stupidest of places?
I need to keep some files synced between two services. I have most of the functionality in place.
But once the crone triggers, do I download files in a recursive loop, or do I start all downloads at once and then manage parallelism using an async lib?
Either way, I'll probably lock it at 1 download at a time, so it's all the same. Yet, the whole freaking day I've been faffing around, unable to decide.
Sigh, I think I'll go watch another episode of "Mayday: Air Crash Investigations" and then try again.

Earlier today I've been searching for some stock photos.
Now on twitter I get this:
My question is, HOW THE FUCK DOES THE TWITTER KNOW WHAT I'VE BEEN GOOGLING?
Seriously guys, this spying stuff isn't funny anymore.
-
Why do you assume they do? That stock photos ad could just be shotgunned out with no targeting.
Come back when some evidence.
-
- Go to your Twitter ad settings and turn off ad customization
- Use Ghostery to limit the amount of tracking they can do
- Install ad block, you dumbfuck, so sites don't track you
- One of those squares is fucking hot, giving me the cum-fuck-me eyes. Ribbit, darling. Ribbit until we both explode.
- Install ad block, you dumbfuck, so on Twitter you can block div.promoted-tweet

I now get "ads" in search results saying "Your UPS package will be delivered on September 28th". Kind of freaks me out.
-
I'm not sure that would help since he said "searching" which probably means google.
Something like this happened to me. Was looking for some info about Lucky Strike new flavors and only was on google. Later that day started receiving twitter ads about quitting smoking. Something fishy is happening here between Google and Twitter.
-
Careful bashing the web spying folk. Remember we have an amoral asshole among us, and he is easily triggered.
-
Well, if Twitter has integration with Google's AdWords or DoubleClick platform, and if Google is run by assholes with no ethics, it's technically possible.
I thought Twitter served their own, though. In which case, that's funky.
-
-
Try it out. Search on Google for something you haven't search before, like tobacco brands and wait for it.
-
I thought Twitter served their own, though. In which case, that's funky.
There's a lot of tweet-about-this integration stuff plastered around too, each of which talks to the Twitter API to load, and it doesn't take too much effort to backtrack and guess a general theme from the pattern once you have a suitable data mining system. It wouldn't be 100% right, but it would be pretty close as you can mine what people have tweeted about the particular site to get an approximate set of metadata tags.
Not that I'm saying it is the scenario I outlined, but it might be a different sort of creepy than “Google and Twitter share secrets”. Indeed, they probably want to avoid that sort of sharing.
-
Ok. I did a search for Lucky Strikes, then searched for Marlboro and went to their home page from it.
-
Odd. I checked by Google Ad personalization dashboard, and Google seems to think... weird things about me.
Apparently I'm interested in Lingerie, Sports, and Alcohol?
To my knowledge, nothing I've searched for or clicked on had anything to do with these things...

Are you married? Your wife may have joined a lingerie football league.
Or, it knows you are a guy so those would be safe bets.

Huh. I guess I did tell it that...
Though I'm not a typical guy either, so Google!

I have no idea what reggaeton is.
-
No cigarette ads (or quit smoking ads) yet, but for some reason Twitter is showing me ads for Make in India. (I live about as far away from India as it's possible to live.)
I honestly think it was just coincidence, Twitter's ad server is simply too incompetent at targeting to do this shit on purpose. For example, it thinks I'm in fucking India.
I also got this ad from Dell, asking me to read a ebook on optimizing databases? I guess? WTF Dell.

-
Google seems to think I'm in the market for buildmaster - I've been getting ads for it all over.

But that would perpetuate the indication of interest! :gasp:!

You could Google it and find out. ;P
And let Google think I'm actually interested in it?!
