I almost got rear-ended this morning by a guy who was taking a picture of my vanity license plate ("ERROR") with his smartphone instead of driving his car.
At least it was "almost."
That reminds me, I have to upload a photo from Oregon of a "WTF" plate. Seriously.

you donate $25 and get to wear jeans to work
Jesus, that's an expensive casual day
When we have dress down days, it's £1 to charity.
Except we now have dress down every Friday, and just pay £2 on the last Friday of each month
I'm not sure I own any long pants that aren't jeans... (at least none that fit)

@sloosecannon Avast is:
DING DING DING! AVAST VIRUS DATABASE HAS BEEN UPDATED!
And yes, it's always loud. Fucking thing.
First thing I'd do is find that sound file and modify it. Which means they probably made it an embedded resource.

I blame discourse for that.
I suppose that's better than blaming the wrong sort of lizard.
i forget....... which one of the hopeful presidential candidates is the alien and which one is the lizard?
They're both aliens, but Dump is a Teal Green Grey, Slanders is a Tall White, and Hilarity is a Green Reptilian.

@sloosecannon Eh? Which one?

The embroidery one? It popped up on /unread for like 5 minutes, I clicked on a pic or something to view fullscreen (on mobile) then went back and it was gone...
EDIT: Wait, was there a spam post or something that got deleted? Since that topic is a necro topic

It wasn't that. The seat was horrible. I ordered a new seat for the bike and we did 7 miles tonight without breaking a sweat. The other night my ass was killing me after a mile. The seat was that bad.

@sloosecannon Not that I can see, another mod might have purged it though.
This was where it got necro'd:

Glorious Exposition, Comerade: So, as people here probably know, I have a Windows Phone. Yes, lorne, I know.
And I install prerelease updates, because Verizon won't let me have WP10, let alone the anniversary update.
Well, yesterday my phone decided to reboot while I was drafting Consipracy - rather it asked if I was ready, and I said yes, as usual - no one ever calls me, and this was no exception. However, I felt it heating up in my pocket, and realized it was in an endless reboot loop. Couldn't do anything immediately, so I let the battery die.
Luckily, reinstalling the OS went flawlessly, and I had all my alarms and settings exactly as they should be, and I was able to upgrade all the way with no issues.
Moral of the story: there isn't one! Prerelease is stupid, but markedly less so than Verizon's tyranny.

Yeah. It sounded like a good idea at the time, but I came to my senses and took a $15 more expensive 11am flight instead.

Hell is a 5am flight. Worse is getting to the airport long term lot at 4am desperately needing a poop. Even worse is needing to wait in line to poop because the only pre security bathroom in the airport only has one stall and security doesn't open until 430.

A 6am flight isn't much better. I used to have to use one of those anytime I flew anywhere; now that's just for when going to the US (because getting to a hub).

They should have another periodic notification reminding you how easy it was to manage.
Seriously, you know the drill. Step no 1: find or activate its log and see if something is breaking.
