Status: only been on TDWTF off and on for a month and a half, took a while to get caught up in this thread. Luckily I've been "working" tickets about systems with third party (actual third party and different division thirdish party) that are acting funny without a reboot; basically I have to be on chat/email chains so someone from Dev is there while systems people do actual things.

Status: Just got off work for the weekend. First thing I do once off work? Help a first time seller on eBay that I bought something from because the payment didn't go straight through. I'm not a seller on eBay at all, and I was the one who noticed the payment hadn't gone through right before the seller sent me a message saying they were going to ship the item today.

Flabbergasted with a certain game currently in play on the forums...
While not commenting on the current game, evidence is that whenever WTDWTFers play Mafia, the dominating factor is :WTF:. I'm guessing that the sort of personality that makes it easy to be a good programmer or IT support person makes for a terrible player…

Status: Trying to play Elite: Dangerous. While exploring, I usually browse the Internet on another screen. YouTube, forums etc. My PC doesn't have any trouble with this, unless one of the forums is Discourse. Elite actually freezes until I close out the Discourse tab.

Why not an Object? Stop trying to enforce you strict data-typing on me. Sometimes a variable just doesn't fit into your neat little box model.

So now you're objectifying the matter?

STATUS pleasantly suprised. Plan Nine From Outer Space is actually a lot of fun.
You've never seen it before?
Yeah, as far as bad movies goes, it's one of the most famous not just because it's godawful, but because it's really watchable and entertaining. Another one of those, slightly less-so perhaps, is Robot Monster.
Watching those with like MST3K commentary actually kind of ruins the experience, IMO. As opposed to a movie like Monster A-Go-Go which has long stretches where you need commentary to prevent your suicide. That movie stinks.

What's wrong with you people! Old movies are awesome. The remake ain't no slouch, either:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEStsLJZhzo
Actually Cronenberg's The Fly is better than the original, I have to admit. The original has that great ending, though. "Help meeeee... help meeeee..."
And the 80s remake of The Thing is probably all told better than the 1951 original, but it's a hard call because the original is damned good.
BTW, if you're the kind of nerd typical of this site, get a hold of Colossus and Gog. Colossus is basically the source of every "evil computer" movie you've ever seen. Gog is this amazing tense (and FAR ahead of its time) Cold War film about robots, science, space exploration, and the vague back-of-your-mind paranoia that the robots may have come to life specifically to prevent human space exploration. (The actual ending is a bit of a let-down.)
Also check out Kronos, a kind-of kaiju movie about a barely-mobile giant alien energy reactor sent by aliens to destroy Earth.

Fun fact:
My cats enjoy knocking my fingernail clippers off the counter and into random corners of the bathroom. Just the fingernail clippers. Not the toothpaste, hairbrush, razor blade or 900 other items on the bathroom counter. Just the clippers and maybe the hairband I just took off.

Noted for next time I have to visit the DMV in downtown Irving. There's a Mexican grocery next to it with a taco stand in front. The grocery store is rundown and the neighborhood rather sketchy, so it has to be good, right?

The best Tacos I have ever had were at a place I was told to never visit with a large amount of cash and preferably only with a Hispanic friend.
Go for it. Do you have your concealed carry permit? :-P
