Status: Apparently CodeMirror overrides the cursor and text selection. For raisins.
Which means you can perform glitches like this:
(The above was accomplished by clicking while holding down the Ctrl key.)
If that's anything like Sublime Text, that's intentional. You can do some pretty crazy tricks with multiple cursors.

It's apparently our go-to escaped goat whenever talking about slow internet.
Only because they're the worst, shittiest ISP in the world.

I have a deep fryer too.
It's call a 5 quart pot with 3 quarts of oil, and an oil thermometer.

It's call a 5 quart pot with 3 quarts of oil, and an oil thermometer.Up until now I have been using a 7quart Dutch oven and a candy thermometer. It works fine, but does require some babysitting. I am looking for something more automated.
Plus, the price is right. I bought it open box for $7. It is listed on Amazon for $179. Picked up some other stuff also. OXO burr grinder, Cuisinart espresso machine, bunch of other stuff. All for pennies on the dollar. :)

eh, it's alright. I don't mind too much, since I have workarounds that don't take too much time and otherwise it's fine.

Drove through a village called Aspull today. This amused me, but not Mrs Boner. Even after I explained it.

Status: I played ARK: Status Evolved for an hour and, while it looks pretty, I still have absolutely no idea what you're supposed to actually do in the game or how you're supposed to do it.
I did see a MS Paint sign though:
I genuinely hope the game lets players create their own textures, and that sign wasn't shipped with the game.
The goal of the game appears to be:
- Make a ridiculously comically muscular character, or a literal midget. (Those are the only two options in the character creator.)
- Spawn in the middle of a dinosaur's mouth, or in front of a giant snake, or in one case in the middle of a pack of wolves.
- Instantly die.
- Go back to step 1.
To be fair, instantly dying only happened about 75% of the time. Some times I remained alive long enough to walk around and explore. And die from other random and inexplicable causes.
For example, after I saw that crude MS Paint sign, I walked up to that fortress and the digital keypad on the door killed me some... how?
You can punch trees (because it's a survival game, natch) and collect berries, but damned if I could find a way to actually make anything out of the stuff I had in my inventory. I think it's because you need to level up to get "engrams" which appear to be crafting recipes, but you can't level up because you instantly die.

You said you had hope that texture wasn't shipped with the game, which I presume was because of the horribly broken english, that reminds us of quality game translations like Zero Wing and it's "all your base are belong to us".

Status: Currently trying to convince the XBox One's TV tuner that the channels ARD and ZDF indeed do exist (for non-Germans: This would be like a British cable provider insisting that the BBC is not a thing).
Also: It has shitty scanning fault recovery - in the case it runs into an error, it throws away all the previous scanning results. It's basically a roll of the dice if it finds all the channels you want to have. And, of course, the shitty ones no one is watching anyway (like "Bible TV"), those are found 100% of the time.
If I only didn't want the timeshift feature...

Ah. It sounded like it was a built-in feature. Which of course should work perfectly upon release because it was released after all.

@Rhywden said in The Official Status Thread:

The fact that you can see anything besides "Chromecast" and "devices". (and maybe a clock) is the point, not whether you can actually read anything.
Then again, my whoosh detector is going off.. .
Edit: And just now said Chromecast decided to die. I guess playing content for three hours straight is too much for it?
-
@Tsaukpaetra It always had. It was a big "selling point", but honestly I've never heard of anybody using it as a DVR in reality until now.
If you recall, MS got a lot of flak when it was introduced by talking almost exclusively about the TV DVR features and ignoring games.

Yeah. Well if they got rid of Windows Media Center I suppose they don't really have any reason to reliably support anything else TV-related...

Well, it makes for a really good random number generator: Of the 290 channels I'm supposedly receiving, this crapdget finds about 50-70%. And every scan yields different channels found (and, just to troll me: Of the 3 channels I'm most interested in, it only finds 1 or 2 in one scan).
There's no "scan this frequency band again", no "scan for missing / updated channels", nothing. Only "Rescan (and forget everything)".
It's like 20+ years of cable receivers didn't exist.

@Rhywden Maybe MS just doesn't give a shit about Germans. Huh? Ever think of that?

@Rhywden I guess you'll have to buy that hugely successful German-designed game console instead.

Worked 15 hour days since Wednsday, trying to bring the messed up project to the finish line. Looking good now, should be done by the Monday deadline.
So much WTF-s I have seen. This contractor... deserves his own thread.
But... too tired to type. WTF overload.
I think I'll just play some music and try to forget the horror...

Status: Today was a good day, overall. Our youngest had his first haircut, and was a total champ about it. Brunch with the family at a Mexican-fusion place that serves spicy biscuits and gravy and the boys got blueberry pancakes. Mowed the lawn, pruned some trees, etc. Then the wife took the boys to an event at the library and I decided to do the brakes on my SUV.
Fuck...me. Two seized calipers. I have never seen a seized caliper on a vehicle that had not been sitting in a field for 15 years. This vehicle gets driven every day. I had everything else stocked in the garage: pads, rotors, hardware, etc. Had to wait for the wife to get back because I have not driven my pickup for so long that the battery went flat and my other car is up at my father's house.
AvE: "It just never ends"
Calipers were seized as tight as can be. I broke a C-clamp trying to compress one of the pistons. The rest were all fine. I even clamped all of the pistons except for the seized one and pumped the brake pedal, no dice.
As a side note, I know @Lorne-Kates is venturing in to the vehicle maintenance territory. Bit of advice: If you keep this up, one day you will be working on one of your cars changing the brakes and think to yourself, "Who was the ham-fisted fuckwad that tightened these bolts like a retarded plumber?" Then you will realize that it was you, because you do all your own shit, and there is no one else to blame.
That is the right of passage on automotive maintenance. When you wonder what asshole did something, and realize you are that asshole.
Second side note: If anyone ever installs a tile shower, or has one installed, put a flat soap tray high enough to be out of the splash zone. It makes a perfect place to set a glass. Once you shower with a cocktail, there really is no going back.
