You've obviously never traveled on US101 through Mountain View CA. 10-12 would be speeding.

Status: Nobel prize dinner is starting.
A lot of swedes will be cooking last year's menu and serve it in sync with this year's. Not me, though. I've put the kettle on, and I'm happy with that.

Is that a fresh kettle or the fermented, canned type?

Status: Gotta love TV development. Have to wait 25 minutes so the next EPG cycle happens and some channels switch to the next show and I can finally close a ticket I've been putting in the backlog for almost a month now.
Almost there!

You don't? Boring!

We look like heroes.
so you are wearing your swim trunks over your normal pants and hung a towel over your shoulders as a cape?

Yes to both. Pervert.

So you're naked? And you dare insinuate I am a pervert?

Do you actually order your liquor from your car like a takeaway drive-thru?
I've been to liquor stores that you drive into and then get out of your car to shop in, but I've never seen an actual drive-thru one.

Yep. Usually at the window though. I have not seen one with an intercom system like a McDonald's.

Me too. In Isla Mujeres, Mexico. I was driving a golf cart, on an island with no drink-drive laws. It was wonderful.

Reminds me of a sign I saw on a paint mixer at the hardware store once. "Paint can must have a lid!"

Apparently Keurig also decided that their food service grade machine didn't need an overflow tray that can actually be accessed to empty without a screwdriver.

Status: Fucking samba half-assed integration with user accounting. But at least it works now. Can roll it out to my other users once I've figured out how to make password changes handle right, which will be nice.
Nearly got my data acquisition code working. It does everything right except for uploading the resulting metadata record to the service that specialises in that. Because the programmer of it never bothered with making an API. The upload code has got to pretend to be a browser and deal with the awful webform from hell (with lots of magical javascript “goodness” and pop-up iframes and other fun! ) which is why I want to upload the metadata directly in the first place. Well, either that or scp the file to the server and run some horrible rake task to import it; that's the developer's idea of a good alternative to going through their Rails code. I know why it's ended up this way — basically a long saga of a (very) good developer always being pressured to deliver something right now and never having the time to go back and fix the hacks or rip things out that don't belong — but the end result sucks so much once you peek beneath the covers.
If I get put in charge of it, I will take the attitude that killing with fire is an acceptable approach. I know that that will make more than a few people really upset, but the more excrement you cram under the shiny cover, the thicker the layer of boot polish you need to contain it all…

Also, yes, I removed the cucumber. Fuck the cucumber.
Disclaimer: My like does not apply to the quoted sentence, because fuck people who don't like cucumbers. Fuck them with cucumbers.

That seems like too much work
It's actually really easy to set up. At least, it is on Android.

Look, if my stomach makes contact with a cucumber it starts immediate evacuation procedures, no questions asked. It's the only food that does that to me. I may not like other foods, but cucumbers - immediate vomit reflex.
Pickles though, I could live off pickles.

I think I was happy with all visual studio ui changes up to vs 2010. Then they started to do one or other annoying thing.
No I have to use vs 6 sometimes, and damn that thing is horrible. How did we survived the 90s using that thing.

I don't get it. Is this the new new like thread?

in your user profiles, something like c/users/jarry/ there is some directories with a combination of the words app and local that i cant remember

Also, now I kind of want to do several experiments and tests to figure out what about the pickling process changes the properties of a cucumber that drastically that pre-pickling, you literally can't eat them, but post-pickling, they're not only fine, but delicious as fuck.

Nonetheless. (IOW screaming at people who call you unnecessarily in the middle of the night is probably more fun.)
Other than the one time I worked at a place where I was in the on-call rotation I have never worked in a place that would call me outside (roughly speaking) business hours.

Responding to asshattery with more asshattery is one of the best ways to get the first asshattery out of your life.

I'm all for science! Bring a bucket.
I'll have to ask for payment though, since it will cause genuine distress before we get results.

no, it's like the new like thread.
But it's a like thread? Should I go back and like all the posts?

If you have sophos it may have quarantined it. Our one at work was doing it with the version we have in source control for some of our services to use. Confused the hell out of me when stuff suddenly stopped working.
Was solved by my boss whitelisting it on the logic of "It can't be a virus, we have used it for ages".
