Something to do with having a 90GB file in there.
Well yeah... It probably tried to store the entire file in there as a change!
-
@sloosecannon Of course it did, and it isn't a WTF. That's what happens when you have an
add
of a new file, in all VCSs (that aren't doing magical stuff), as the minimum diff is just all new data.

@lorne-kates Hm, interesting.
How does that procedure change if one of them's a trans hooker?
If s/he just happens to be a trans hooker by profession, but was one of the pot-smokers-- pillow-smother / incinerate.
If s/he was hired by them and is on-duty? Well, only a really bad hooker gets stoned while on the job, so still, pill-smother.
If s/he's awake? Offer to split the loot, plus an extra $500 for the rest of the night. Then when you're alone, murder them and loot.

Preheat oven to 218° Science
In a flat pan mix:
- 350ml Freshly Minced Onion
- 15ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 5ml Kosher Salt
- 5ml Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
Saute until Onion is translucent. Remove from heat and set aside
In large mixing bowl combine
- 3 Large Egg
- 600ml Italian Style Bread Crumbs
- ½ of the Onion Mixture
- 1.2kg Ground Turkey
- 1 pinch Rosemary (Crushed)
Thoroughly mix, you will need to use your hands for best results. If you finish this step with
clean hands you did it wrong. Form mixture into 3mm balls and place on greased cooking
trays (should make 48-64 balls). Bake for ten minutes. Set aside to cool.While the meatballs are baking combine in large crock pot:
- 3 large cans of crushed tomatos (substitute one can of diced for chunky style sauce)
- 1 small can tomato paste
- 1 small can water (use the tomato paste can to measure)
- 30ml sugar
- ½ of the onion mixture.
Simmer on low for 8 hours. Add meatbals to the sauce once they have cooled to under 100°
Science and are firm to the pokeServe over Linguini with cheesy garlic bread. Leftovers make great subs.

@accalia The cooking thread is

@accalia I wouldn't put the sugar in, replace with Worcestershire sauce.
Also, add 2-3 cloves of garlic to the onion mix, and some extra herbs to the meatballs. Oregano and/or basil would work nicely there

dumb criminals, that pizza delivery must have an address
Dominos do orders for collection. I've availed myself of this service for all of the following reasons (at least three of them simultaneously):
- I lived literally round the corner from the shop and was embarrassed to ask someone to bring me my pizza when it was so close.
- They had a good deal that was collection-only.
- They'd put the minimum delivery order up to more than the price of what I wanted.
- I couldn't input my address to their form because it didn't officially exist. I guess I could have phoned instead of ordering online, but curiously that did't occur to me until I was writing this. Also screw talking to strangers on the phone, and point 1 also applied.
I have not yet needed to do so because I didn't want to give them my address for any reason, but...

@accalia said in The Official Status Thread:
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Why? That's wasting good stuff. When you are going to heat it you don't need the extra vierge stuff. Use olive oil made for cooking/heating. It reaches a higher temperature and is way cheaper.

It was liquid sugar. 😉

@tsaukpaetra Sugar's about 1 gram per milliliter anyway. But 350ml of onion? How many onions is that?

I will! Sadly, I couldn't find anything after ten minutes of searching. I did find out that Zika makes them shrink by as much as 90 percent, and that a diet of yogurt apparently makes them "massive".

Well, what I mean is that the underlying disk isn't being saturated at all, just that Windows apparently stopped being able to talk to it. But only on one part.

Sounds like Windows (or the AHCI drivers) is borked. The hypervisor exposes two different controllers for the two "different" disks, but if you killed one, it should have killed the other one as well.

That's because one is
ToString()
onNullable<T>
, the other isToString()
onDateTime
, and the one onNullable<T>
has no overloads.

Having an annoying issue wherein adding two columns to a table on Oracle Database takes a couple hours before killing the session with ORA-04036: PGA memory used by the instance exceeds PGA_AGGREGATE_LIMIT. What... the fuck? The columns are nullable, so why does it take more than a couple seconds? Also, it happens when adding those two columns to the table in this (new) schema but not another schema. What... the FUCK?!
