i already spent my pedantry flags for the day.....
I gave him one for you, although I hope one of the ones you used was where I corrected you for the same thing.

-shrug- i was going off my memory. i might have been wrong.
When in doubt, verify. I knew I was right, but I double-checked Wikipedia anyway.

verification is a barrier to high post count.

fine, i didn't think to double check.... happy?

Lack of verification is a barrier to flags, though.

So I give up; I'm willing to wish @cartman82 a Happy New Year today.
Ortodox new year isn't a big deal. Some fireworks and such, but no days off or public events or anything. Ortodox Christmas on the 7th of January is the real deal.
But thanks.

Ortodox new year
I can't remember where everybody on here lives. Aren't you in Serbia or one of those Slavic countries? That would explain why you refer to it as Orthodox new year, rather than Julian new year.Ortodox Christmas on the 7th of January is the real deal.
I have no objections to celebrating twice. :)

Yeah. I didn't know anyone else uses the damn thing other than us obstinate Ortodox assholes. On the other hand, double celebration is nice, so there's that.

very important system files
meh. backups, mostly. I'm not doing anything the docs don't suggest...
Update update: it's finished now, clawed back maybe 1GB or so.

Doesn't WinSxS contain a lot of hard links, so the reported size is misleading at best?

How are you measuring that? Don't forget it is full of hard links, and IIRC Explorer isn't smart enough not to count each link as the full size of the file.
ETA: Hanzo'd.

Status: washing cat pee off my floor, bed and travel bag... again.
This thing is like a biohazard. One drop in the wrong place and you have to disinfect (or burn down) the entire place, or it will smell bad forever.
-
This hardly bypasses the city:
It may have at one time. It's not like they were going to change the number just because LA got bigger.
-
Get a cleaner that breaks down enzymes.
Spray at pee.
Profit.

aye. it is....
is this a regular occurence? if so what behavior modification have you tried to make it not be a regular thing?

decapitation works.

Holy crap, suddenly total darkness outside.

Not really "regular", I thought it was solved now...
See, I live in a shared apartment with 4 cats (we all love cats). None of them are mine. Unfortunately two of them (males) keep fighting with the other male, and for some reason this makes him pee in my bag (marking his territory, or most likely he's just afraid to go to the litter boxes). We've tried several things to get them to accept each other, but still no dice.
At least he poops in the right place now.
-
Tie their tails together.
Get along or die.(Probably need to muzzle and declaw them, so they don't actually die).
But good luck getting cats to change anything.
They say "herding cats" for a reason.
And FYI, cats hated me first.
-
I've tried tying a string to the tail of one to keep them (and myself) entertained. It's harder than it seems.

I wouldn't have multiple cats again unless they were litter mates or for some other reason grew up together. I've heard of tricks to make it easier (keep them in separate rooms at first), but ultimately whether the cats accept each other is their decision.

Works great on my sister's cats. It'll keep all three of them and any humans entertained for a while.
-
So, have a three way string, with 2 ft of distance. So 2 ft radius circle between the three cats.
Then put the fan on slow and hang three balls down from it.
Theoretically, you should have a scenario that looks like musical chairs, for cats.

Status: Resolved a high priority incident which was a result of me forgetting to delete a file when fixing one yesterday. Tempted to put the Preventative Action down as "Analyst promises to do a better job next time" but not sure the people who review them will see the funny side.

Ugh.... analyst is such a convoluted title.

It may have at one time. It's not like they were going to change the number just because LA got bigger.
It's always run from downtown LA to Long Beach/San Pedro. In fact, they did change the number. It used to CA-11, IIRC, before it was renumbered into the Interstate system. The portion north of I-10 is still a state highway, renumbered CA-110 to match the Interstate portion.That said, the designation 110 is consistent with the correct statement of the the numbering system given subsequently in the thread, as it does not reconnect to I-10.

I, too, am an Analyst.
I mean with that corporate title, one would assume all I do is analyze things.
