Aww the thread was deleted. I was planning my counter strategy. I suppose it's for the best.
[spoiler]I'll have you know I can troll you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare keyboard. Not only am I extensively trained in childish arguments, but I have access to an entire arsenal of reaction pictures in my hard disk, and I will use it to its full extent to rustle your miserable jimmies off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” thread was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.[/spoiler]

It comes in handy.
Current status: I'll be very, very surprised if I don't fall asleep soon. Stupid meetings.

GGG!

Why, what've YOU been eating that's worse than that?
Don't speak for me, either. Some low hanging fruit I just can't resist.

absurd claim that "A dog's mouth is cleaner than your own!"
I know what goes into my dogs' mouths. I would never believe such a ridiculous claim.
Dogs eat any poop. They'll eat out of the cat litter, eat their own poop, eat vomit regardless of the source, go out to the herd of cattle and eat their poop too.
I have no direct experience with most of those, thankfully, but eating the own poop? Definitely. Hence the statement above.

Status: 19:00. Still at work. Why? Answer: Nothing work-related; that's for sure. Might have something to do with writing a long-winded response to @dkf in — damn, can't even remember what topics I'm posting in.

Very curious as to why we haven't used the phrase "death march" when talking to the Discodevs.

Status: I have a proper mouse at work now!
Not some old HP mouse that was used by the person who used my desk before I came here.
And the cursor moves so FAST when you move it.
-
status: pretending to WFH because there's no way in [afterlife, bad end] i was going to try driving in town due to the POTUS visit today.
also i want likes.
also in this thread i guess.

Did you con someone into buying a gaming mouse with adjustable dpi? :)

... whats a mouse?
is it a kind of food?
-
Nah, just a relatively pretty and new optical mouse.
But it seems to be pretty good for just an ordinary mouse.

Status: sick. Eating cereal before it gets too stale. But it tastes bad because I'm sick.
This is what hell is like.

Urgh, stale cereal is one of the things that can really sour my mood in the morning.

Also, using Discourse on mobile. A very curious experience.

Status: Really annoyed at Civ:BE. I had 2 22" monitors. I also had a 4:3 19" lying around, so I hooked it up just because I could, for three displays total. Civ:BE decides it wants the 19" monitor, but if I click on anything in the game, the game minimizes! If I click on anything on the other two screens, the game restores.
Seriously...WTF were they doing to get the windowing stuff so wrong?!? I know I've been complaining about this since the game came out but it keeps proving just how bad it is. Wasn't multimonitor windowing a solved problem in like 2002?
-
I just realized what's going on....WTF....The game is rendering on Monitor #1, but it only responds to clicks on Monitor #3. I can tell by seeing highlight elements show up in the game window even though my mouse cursor is on another screen!!!

opening beer with my teeth
Did nobody ever teach you how to open it against an edge?
-
Status: my nose has now become an open faucet. A snot-faucet. There is no way to close the snot-faucet.
-
Ha, and if I force it over to one of the 22" 1080p screens, my max resolution becomes limited to 1280x1024 which is what the little 19" screen maxes out at!!!
-
A snot-faucet.
A snaucet, you might say.
Oh, I'm sure you wouldn't, but someone probably will.
-
This keeps getting more and more hilarious. If I change the game's resolution, it adjusts the resolution of one of the other screens and leaves its screen and the game resolution alone!
-
I would have sworn that shit worked right in Civ 5! But I'm not at a computer with two monitors to check.
-
Seems a lot of the trouble was because I finally tried AMD Mantle. If I fall back to DirectX 11 rendering, it works...except the fullscreen option is now gone.
-
Why would you want to run a turn-based strategy game in full-screen anyway? Full-screen Windowed, perhaps.
-
Full-screen windowed isn't an option.
Finally trying out windowed mode and it works, I guess I was afraid it would do what KSP did and choose godawful window sizes that force you to either have stuff off-screen or live with something dumb like 1280x900.
-
Full-screen windowed isn't an option.
You found the WTF. Glad I gave that game a pass.
-
It really is a good game, but has massive bugs with multi-monitor systems and with multiplayer. Single player works well.
-
Pssh. It doesn't even have Chronos Lait in it.
-
And now I'm eating my words...I give workers orders, they act like they're doing it, but the next turn it hasn't happened. I just tried to build a road several times in a row with no effect.
EDIT: So I gave up, moved the worker out, and then the tile updated and the road is actually there.
-
snaucet
I have to try to use that word in a conversation. Luckily, flu season is coming and all the parents will be bringing whatever exciting thing their wee ones brought home with them into the office.
-

It's amazing how few games support that, or don't get it right.
-
flu season is coming
I'm trying to decide whether to get a flu shot or not this year. Not enough people in the office decided to get one, so they didn't have an office event, so if I DO want one I have to go somewhere and get it like a second-worlder, and if I wind up at a place that actually charges me I have to do it tomorrow or I won't get reimbursed.
And @blakeyrat thinks he has problems.
-
Yeah, I need to get one, I'm volunteering for our municipal election and I'm going to have to actually interact with people. Nasty, germ laden, people...
-
Yeah, I need to get one
I had to take my wife to the doctor today. The nurse said she knew someone who was fairly freaked out: took her kids shopping, told them to keep their hands in their pockets and not touch anything. I opined she should've gotten masks for them.
Or gotten out of Dodge and headed out to Wyoming or something.
-
I smell a marketing opportunity. Disposable, child sized, fully sealed environment suits to keep your children from coming into contact with the outside world but so you can still take them with you while running errands, etc.

Whilst
googlingsearching around to see if someone had stolen my idea already, I found this:http://safetycentral.com/baborsmalchi.html
Is that fear? Smells like opportunity.

Status: After five minutes of wondering why I couldn’t execute a build script, I found that the NFS share randomly decided to mount itself with the
noexec
option.Now I need to find why it does this...
# server:/etc/exports /home/ 10.33.0.0/255.255.0.0(rw,sync) # client:/mnt/fstab server:/home/VinDuv /home/VinDuv nfs rw,soft,timeo=10,user,auto,exec 0 0
