Our one year old was entranced. Either he digs blonde rocker chicks, or he digs Tool, or maybe both.
Beating on things is a primary activity for one year olds, especially boys.

@Polygeekery that's libel against poor @Luhmann
Then @Luhmann should flag me, mostly just to annoy @boomzilla.
I would relish the opportunity to review your posting history for a potential forum ban.

I didn't say I would do any of that. Just that I'd appreciate the opportunity to do it.

You're a Tool fan, right?

Those kids are potential future rock gods if they can play that well at their age. The drummer in the glasses even has a beginning rock star drummer persona.

@Luhmann My lawyer gives me that same advice. I rarely follow it.

@dcon Technically, that's correct. There are no connectors on that board. Just solder pads.

I was going to add something along those lines. Decided pretty much covered it...

Also sorry for the bunch of wasted uploads, when I tried copying and pasting directly from paint.net, it dropped the transparency.

Had some 2 straight out of uni kids interview me yesterday and my task was to write some sort of JS brace parser in code, I had a broken keyboard (one of the legs was broken, the projector turned itself off and they installed re-sharper which I don't use so all the shortcuts were slightly different, so I was fumbling around on the keyboard like a moron).
I was getting pissed off with the interview so I said "I will solve it this way".

Well, it's either that, or their DHCP server fell over.
I don't really care which one it is, but if I don't get an IP by business hours tomorrow, we're gonna have a talk.

That's what Cox does to my modem if services have been suspended.

Nope. My laptop (which I guess cached its DHCP settings or something?) got an IP fine. But the router (I just did a f/w update - IE full wipe) and another computer don't.
I'm seriously considering switching Internet providers to their competitor in the area.
OH WAIT.
THERE ISN'T ONE.

Yes.

The router isn't.
I took the WAN plug and plugged it in to my laptop (I've done that before for network testing raisins if the router stops working), and it successfully got an IP.
I tried plugging it in to a desktop, which has never been plugged directly into WAN before, and it didn't get an IP either.So I think the laptop is somehow remembering the prior connection and regaining its prior IP, but the router doesn't (It got wiped today), and the desktop never had an IP.

It holds 3 gallons of oil. A bit too heavy to pick up and dump the oil back in to a bottle.

Status: Amazon??
What the fucking fuck? Two-day delivery on item #1 gets it here on Sunday. Two-day delivery on item #2 gets it here on Saturday. Same order.
I should order a book on mathematics and have it delivered to their offices.
If they want to say that it is two business days from the start of business tomorrow because it is now 8PM, so I get everything on Sunday, that would be fine. No worries. I get that. But it is the same order, placed at the same time.

Status: waiting to find out how my first attempt at homemade gyros went.

@Polygeekery It happens because of weird Fulfillment Center-specific logistical details. Some FC's have different shipping cutoffs because of differing internal logistics. An FC where it takes up to an hour for an order to work its way through the pick/pack process will have an earlier cutoff than one that does it in half an hour.
And even more disconcertingly, the cutoff can vary by carrier, and you don't get to pick the carrier - Amazon's computers do. The fulfillment center with the Pi has a suitable carrier with a late pickup.
The SD card is probably going USPS due to nonexistent size and weight, which cuts off WAY early.

@sloosecannon
Did you power cycle (reboot) the cable modem between changing devices it was connected to? By design feature, cable modems will only authorize the first MAC they see after boot up.

Status: You want to kill stuff with magic? Let's see, there's destruction spells... You can deal 8 damage per second with fire, frost, or shock. If you level it up, you can get a spell that makes a fire explosion that deals 40 damage to anyone trying to attack your enemy at melee range.
Uh, there's also conjuration, which lets you summon demons and reanimate corpses to fight for you, and it lets you summon weapons that steal the soul of whoever they kill... Oh, and you can summon a cool undead horse to take you up 90 degree slopes.
But why would you want to do that when you can deal 8 damage per second!!!
