So today's biggest fire. We ran a downstream system out of disk space.
This is allegedly my personal fault because my system is capable of handling this level of demand.

Status: Went to schedule a Microsoft cert exam. 503 Unavailable. I didn't realize that Pearson VUE had switched over to Discourse for their backend.

Can't be discourse. If it was you would get 503 OK and scheduled to a completely different exam...

Really? You want people to be able to and pat themselves on the back for breaking things?
Actually.... That's not a bad idea. Probably an Evil idea though....

Status****strong text Got a program that crashes with STATUS_HEAP_CORRUPTION randomly after 10-20 minutes. But only in Release mode. Debug mode runs fine for hours. Still can't get a stack trace. I will now swallow broken glass.

Went to bed early this morning, not having any work for the rest of the week, and got woken up an hour later by my boss because we got an emergency carpet installation job.
Just dropped him off, and now I'm stuck in his driveway waiting for someone else to pick me up because the van died. Again.

Costco sells Liquor?
<-- Lives where there are only State run liquor stores.

Status: Extracting all the SQL Command objects from an SSIS package (by hand, because why would you even want to do that en masse?), and tripped over the keyboard when I saw this.
-
Costco sells Liquor?
Yep. Their store brand vodka is actually quite good and very inexpensive. For JD, they are $7-10 cheaper than any other store for a 1.75l.
Does yours sell beer and wine? Or is that in state bottle shops only?
-
Beer with <= 15% ABV and wine <= 24% ABV can be sold at any store with an ABC license. Liquors can only be sold by the ABC store.
Also new: Local distilleries can now sell 1 bottle of their product per person per year at their distillery.

Fun stuff:
A Brew On Premises permit may be issed to a business, located in a jurisdiction where the sale of malt beverages is allowed, where individual customers who are 21 years old or older may purchase ingredients and rent the equipment, time, and space to brew malt beverages for personal use. The customer must do all of the following:
Select a recipe and kettle.
Weigh out the proper ingredients and add them to the kettle.
Transfer the wort to the fermenter.
Add the yeast.
Place the ingredients in a fermentation room.
Filter, carbonate, and bottle the malt beverage.
A permittee may transfer the ingredients from the fermentation room to the cold room and may assist the customer in all the steps involved in brewing a malt beverage except adding the yeast. A malt beverage produced under this subdivision may not contain more than six percent (6%) alcohol by volume. The permit fee is $400.00Wait hold on a second...

Not so when you realize it's because a Woman is providing the yeast...

Yep. We have the same laws here. That is the step where the juice or wort becomes alcohol.
Yes, it is a silly rule.

You might want to re-read @accalia's user card.

Okay, fine, it's a mischievous idea, but we don't have a thread for that (afaik)

I bet you that's the equivalent of "the lower receiver of an ar-15-platform gun is the gun for legal purposes, and no other part is". They needed to ensure the customer performs at least one step personally, and that one's probably the definitive one in "making booze".

Status: Apparently ISIS changed their name. Who knew?
Yeah, back when they conquered their first major city they renamed to IS and declared a state (which nobody officially recognizes). Your local news services may not have switched.

You're so last month... They're called 'Daech' now!

So a friend of mine is a ______ artist, and works in games. He got called up by a certain game company recently, and they wanted him to interview with them, but wanted him to study a certain piece of technology he hadn't previously used for the week preceding it, and they'd ask questions about that, then do an art test.
He finally did the interview (with a recruiter), and at some point they just stopped talking to him. I can only assume this was a web or phone call. They just didn't respond anymore, or give him the art test. This naturally made him quite upset.
I would think that would be something ______'s HR would want to know about. It's pretty bad. I mean, it isn't like he was some random hopeful: they contacted him.
-

Bizarre. You should ask if, like, the phone call didn't get terminated, just dead air, or what. I assume if they had hung up on him he'd've said that.
I have a client in the Caribbean with awful phone connectivity. They'll call us and we can't hear them talk, so after 10-15 seconds we hang up, then this repeats twice more, and on the 4th call they finally get a fully functional two-way call. My guess is someone gave up and used their personal cell, although that's probably expensive.
And this happens like every time they call.
-
yeah, I don't know. This was a pretty well known company, too. I would think this would be bad pr for them.

Iron Mountain is a secure document handling company. They store things as well as dispose of them. Mostly paper things.

Well, it is, but you won't be doing it. Hmm... Let's see here, which dwarf would be a good fit?
How about this one?
Solon Lecadkivish, hammerdwarf
He personally thinks working hard is an abject idiocy, respects the law and doesn't particularly value loyalty. He dreams of mastering a skill.

-
Are you trying to ruin or fun by bringing in reality?
-
I think it might be the skill of hitting things really hard with a piece of metal on the end of a stick.
So is that a yes?
-
hitting things really hard with a piece of metal on the end of a stick.
now it sounds like dwarf porn ...
<would anybody be stupid enough to turn that in a gis?

You'd have to ask @Tsaukpaetra about that. He appointed herself the morning wood cutter.

Well as long as you don't stay too fond of it to be useful before lunch o think you'll be fine, but if not....

Awe shot, walked right into that, didn't I?
