that whole subthread started with @abarker who is TL4
Correction: It started with @Maciejasjmj asking what happened to @lucas. I just answered his question. Not my fault that the events surrounding his rage quite occurred in t/1000

Guilty as charged.
and I don't really care, it's a spam topic anyway

But wasting everybody on the bus' time specifically to taunt me? Are you a sociopath?
Maybe he's someone from here, who knows who you are.

Status: Realized after staring at this window for 20 minutes
that it was waiting for me to answer some question... on the terminal prompt in the background, of course. *sigh*
I should know better by now...
Filed under: Maybe I should report another bug

Bonus WTF:
300 lines of text crammed in a 3-line non-word-wrappable non-resizable text box. At least the text is selectable and copyable...

:blink:
you are quite right my friend.
I apologize most profusely for laying false accusation at your feet.

What the fuck am I doing with my life...
Ok... so... user class...

Status: Had a session on Toybox Turbos.
It's Micro Machines, but shinier.
Buy it.

I should get back to my API now that I'm going to have a bit more time after taking a gap semester at the uni...
The fact that I'm probably going to have to dump half of the model classes since I've last worked on it is not very encouraging, though.
-
@abarker, don't encourage @ben_lubar

I have no clue what you're replying to.

Status: apparently my ISP is changing their you-pay-$35-per-month-for-6Mbps-and-get-2Mbps from copper wires to fiber. And somehow "checking the lines" will make the internet not horrifically slow and packet-loss-y.
-
This post is deleted!
-
We had poor DSL service once that was caused by frayed wires touching something else, so maybe....
-
If they're using copper, line noise from bad wire can indeed induce packet loss. Not really horrific slowness though, except the horrific slowness caused by horrific packet loss.
But I think your real solution is: move.
-
I honestly have no recollection of liking that.

Status: HOLY FUCK just checked MilwaukeePC's website
-
Their site looks so bad (and broken) it almost gave me eye cancer.
-
Think about @ben_lubar - it probably took him like 15 minutes to load it.
-
I wonder if my dad signed up for their "commercial" plan or something.
Also, apparently selling 0.7 Mbps to a business costs the same amount as selling 12 Mbps to a house. And selling 12 Mbps to a business costs as much as selling 24 Mbps to a house. And my plan (which used to be their highest speed plan until today) now has an actual documented upload speed and it's worse than the lowest speed you can actually enter into speedtest.net as the upload speed you're paying for.
-
You're still faster than like 3% of the US. Presumably those 3% are Amish.

That page includes the statistic that if you want to watch Netflix on Ultra HD, you need a 25MB/s connection. Except that's 125Mbps faster than their most expensive plan and 155Mbps faster than their most expensive plan they actually sell.
Edit: They actually only sell two plans that they claim are able to watch Netflix, and both of them have less than 1MB/s upload.
-
- "up to". In your case, "up to 75mbps" will mean "300kbps".

If I had stitched them all together, Discourse would make it 50px tall.

Status: I was just laying in bed, on my laptop, getting some work finished up for tomorrow when we do another big rollout (yes, on a Friday. Yes, I know that guarantees WTFery. Out of my hands on this one...) and I had a YouTube video playing some music very loudly through my headphones. In the dark, I somehow pulled the headphones out of the jack. Laptop, full blast at 11:40PM.
Wife != Happy
Pretty sure she mumbled something about me being an asshole and then rolled over.

Status: Stopped at the grocery store on my way home from work earlier this evening. Remembered a few things that I hadn't put on my list, but forgot until I got home that I haven't any cheeese.

Aren't you a little young for an Urkel joke?

Who the hell do you think I am? @ben_lubar? I am 35. Of course I remember that crappy show.

Pffffbt. You will have to try harder. I got some big checks in the mail today so I am in a fan-freaking-tabulous mood.
-
When @ben_lubar comes in here and tells us how we could translate this entire conversation to Lojban by using 3 lines of code in Go and then starts talking about Dwarf Fortress enchiladas...then I will be rankled and I will DOS his internet connection with one of these:

Status: playing truant with my daughter. She's got a doctor's appointment in two hours and we decided to take the whole day and make some biscuits while we were at it.
-
Will those biscuits have fermented fish in them?
-
no, but quite possibly sugar.
-
-
If it's any comfort, I've got a smoked salmon for dinner...
-
Are you sure it is smoked? If it is, was it fermented before or after it was smoked? ;)

He also looked right at me as he took off, at which point I was literally in front of the door with my bus pass in hand.
Yuck. I'd be on the phone w/ Customer Service about this one...
This is the kind of situation where it's handy if you happen to be carrying a brick...
-
Yeah we made eye contact when I rounded the edge of the block and started running. Then I had to dodge between like 47 idiots just standing in the middle of the sidewalk not moving or getting out of the fucking way, so it took me a significant amount of time to get there.
He also looked right at me as he took off, at which point I was literally in front of the door with my bus pass in hand.
Can you find out who this guy is? We can send him a gift card, or a case of beer and a thank you note.

I will DOS his internet connection
His Internet connection already is a DOS.http://www.antiqbuyer.com/images/ARCHIVE_PICS/Office_archive/TYPE-TELE/keys/bunell-key.jpg
Now that brings back memories. Sadly, I haven't really played with radios since my kids were born.
