I don't want to get into a discussion of gender vs sex in canids, but you're welcome to. In a different thread.

he's a young adult boxer mix.
I see you've chosen....
Unless... Is it your wife that's the boxer? That's kinda hot...Pre-Edit: aaandd 'd.

Typically neither do I, actually. I love all my bitches, even if they're male...
That totally doesn't sound right, does it?

can't stop you, but if you show the flags around me i'm liable to steal them and try to make you chase me to get them back!

one of the fun breeds!
Yup! So far--we've had him 2 years--he's walked headfirst into a car three times while looking backwards at squirrels.

not one of the smarter examples of the breed, but i'm sure he can out think my pug any day.
Madden still hasn't figured out why i make him go back around the tree when he walks on the other side of it from me.

Generally he's fairly smart. He just really wants a squirrel sandwich.
Every once in a while I'll let him think he's gonna get one by dropping the leash, but only if there's a squirrel right next to a tree and the dog is like 20' away, so there's no way he could actually catch it unless it was retarded.

that might hurt if i "accidentally" get you in the head with it ad i try to dodge you... maybe not the best idea, ne?

Hah! Jax has learned not to do that, at least, which is more than I can say for most dogs.

Also, way to go , mangling the Markdumb on reply.

Mine just wonders why I apparently smacked her with a tree when she was being so good keeping at my heels....
-

i can understand that. Madden wants to make friends with them.
seeing him play with the chickens when we brought him to the farm was fun.
and it was nice to see that he had negative interest in meeting the hog up close and personal. that showed more self preservation instinct than i thought he had given his favorite game to play with the newfies at the dog park is "pick my up by the neck and fling me!"
-
makes mental note to also put on a helmet
might also want to wear a cup. i'm not likely to "accidentally" hit you in the head. too easy to accidentally get slapped with murder charges that way.
-

You say that like I hadn't already considered it and then decided not to bother to enumerate the entire list of protection.
Also as far as you know I've got balls of steel and don't need to worry about it.

Status: The fibre saga continues, with a twist!
The balancing tower of service providers notified me that they've finally fixed the problem with our new fibre and it's good to go!Sure enough the NTE now has soothing green status lights rather than angry red.
Plugged in a laptop to the managed router to verify there is indeed a connection to the public internet and...can't reach even their internal resolvers. Spent an hour checking everything so I didn't seem stupid to the tech support but everything seemed perfect. They checked everything and it seemed perfect, except that they couldn't ping the NTE.
Now waiting for TalkTalk engineers to visit the exchange tomorrow and investigate "power blips" in the rack where our A end arrives

balls of steel
Still annoying when transfer of energy/momentum happens and they swing up into...
Erm... Yeah, no experience with this at all, I'm going to pretend having steel testicles is a good idea....

I choose to believe you were intending that as a joke, but from my side, it's not, because it actually was originally made for IE8 compatibility in mind.
Then we had a mandate (see this post above for more info) that everything we have that's web-based be upgraded or be Citrix-shedded.

Natch.

Compatbility mode. Seriously.

"OK, but I just want you to be aware that invoice would be made by me and I would have to generate it right now."
"No problem, as long as you pre-date it back to before the shipment."
"OOOOOOOOK. This seems like insurance fraud."
Ok, ignoring the UPS being ok with fraud here...
When you bought insurance for the package, how did you anticipate having to prove its worth? Magical fairies? Why didn't you print an invoice then?

Well, I was actually hoping they wouldn't ruin my shit. I kind of assume that to be the case. If I assume otherwise, I find another carrier.

See.
All you idiots who keep repeating:
But blakeyrat hates off-topic! He's just as bad as Jeff! I have a brain the size of a chickpea!
Here it is one more time.
I do not have anything against people discussing things off-topic.
I have a beef with posts consisting primarily of animal sounds. Like the one quoted above.
Got it? Good.

Good. You've already been there at least a full year longer than you should have been.

UPS today earned my ire (again) by being absolutely useless for private citizens unless you take a holiday on the delivery date.
First delivery attempt: 10.00am - I'm not at home. Like most other people.
Second delivery attempt: 10.00am - I'm not at home. Again. Who'd have guessed?
Third delivery attempt: 10.30am. Yeah. The half hour didn't really make a difference.So, I had to drive out to the absolute boondocks to get the package. Two hours well spent.
They may be the bee's knees for companies for all I care - but deliveries to private persons by UPS are useless. You can't even tell them: "Just leave it at the old lady downstairs!"
-
Well, I was actually hoping they wouldn't ruin my shit. I kind of assume that to be the case. If I assume otherwise, I find another carrier.
Well duh. But you also paid for a product (package insurance) that you had no way of actually claiming. (Except the UPS guy doesn't care about back-dating.)
That was dumb.
-
Things must be different in Germany. Here, the default is to leave the package unless the sender requires signature or there is a history of stolen packages in your area.
But, with that being said, they destroyed 3 packages of mine in pretty short order so UPS will not be getting anymore money from me. This was the last of the packages and I am just now getting around to filing the claim, etc.

I believe you missed the point. I offered an invoice from Company A (which originally purchased it). Later, that bit was moved over to Company B. I did have an invoice to prove worth. I mostly just wanted to let them know that if they wanted an invoice that Company B paid, it would be paid by Company A of which I own both.
I could have just not said anything and printed it. If they did even a cursory check though, they would realize that they are both owned by the same person. Would they have done so? Probably not. Now that I know they apparently don't give a shit, I can say with even more certainty.
As for you, you have "Monday morning quarterbacking down to an art.

Riiiiight.
I don't see how that changes anything I said. But thanks for replying I guess?

That error came from SourceTree. Which I use because FUCK GIT this is literally the best client that exists.
I started with SmartGit. Added SourceTree when we moved from gerrit to stash. (Dealing with pushing seems to work better in ST. Merging conflicts works better in SG. There's probably options that can be played with in ST to make it easier - but fuck it. I know how to do it in SG, so why waste time figuring out a new way.)

They stall the update. I updated to 10 on last Wed. Still haven't seen 10586. (Yes, I manually did a look for updates thing too)
Ah. Here comes 1511 (build 10586). There goes my afternoon...
