When you break it out like that, it just makes people lie about being sick.
My company breaks PTO into vacation, sick, and "floater", and nominally you're supposed to use the right bucket for the right occassion, but in practice, they don't keep track, so I usually use up my sick days first, because they don't roll over.
FWP: thought the thermometer on my car was broken because it said 42F. Nope, it's actually 42F outside.
Did you not think it was that high or not think it was that low? This week in Dallas it could be either way.

@ben_lubar MacBook Air owners can't communicate any idea without also mentioning they own MacBook Airs.
Do you mean they put on airs? [Patrick Star video would go here if I CBA to find one]
not yet, but i do plan on it shortly.
If you're not going to OC, you're wasting your money on a k-series, but I'm sure you know that.
i just need to work out what the thermal envelope will be like for it once i OC it and what heat sink i'll need to add to it (i'm currently using the OEM heatsink which gets the job done but not much more than that.)
Just get a Hyper 212 Evo or something similar, unless you want to take your chances with higher than 4.3GHz or so.
Because it would have been stupid for me to post this without linking to it?
Not if you provided enough quotes to give context, and decided to deny them the links.
It's about 34° here, too, so I'm staying indoors.
Somwhere in Burkina Faso there is a warehouse full of 'Learn HTML 3.0' and 'Mastering Borland Delphi 1.0' volumes.
Burkina Faso? Shit, you can probably still find 'em at Barnes & Noble or Fry's.
I guess I don't really have as strong an opinion either way around how different compilers implement non-standard features...
Are you agnostic on begin vs. {?
It came from the bitter, frozen heart of Blakey, so who knows.
I claim the use of one of the extra foxes I posted above in lieu of posting one now. This should leave me with 0 or 1 left.
Oh, that's right, Spock did the nerve pinch.
But he never mastered the depths of swearing, like Kirk's infamous "and a double dumbass on you."
At that point, you're stuck with having warnings.
Doesn't GCC have a #pragma or something to suppress a particular warning/error for a range or compilation unit?
Looking at the stacktrace shows me that the exception actually gets thrown in an event handler because something doesn't get initialized properly
I saw that happen in a Windows Mobile game. The main window would load a dialog with game options, in the onLoad handler. If you canceled out of the options dialog, the game would crash with a NullReferenceException when it tried to delete the dialog. :eyeroll:
To be fair, the developer wrote the game--a Civ clone--to learn C#, so didn't know that you shouldn't do things that way.
AKA “If I'm not getting it, nobody's getting it.”
Actually it was kind of the contrapositive or something: "We shouldn't have to suffer through this thing we advocated for everyone else." I really liked the one person who suggested this was deliberately timed to cause trouble for people who were needing expensive medical procedures like pregnancy-related things or surgeries.
One of the worst things about the "P""P""A""C""A" is that it didn't contain the sentence "Everything in this act shall apply to every US Citizen, particularly and especially the President, Vice President, every member of Congress, and all their staff, without exception".
Green's side say that coinsurance will lead to sick people either skimping on care that could have helped them, or taking the care and being out-of-pocket right when they can least afford it.
Oh noes--just like the rest of us! Fuck her for thinking she shouldn't have to play by the same rules.
This actually could be confused for a "legitimate" hacking attempt, considering how they got hacked a couple of months ago (or was it a different Notepad app?)
@lucas1 said in Contracts Part III : The most bizarre sacking:
Apparently I wasn't positive enough.
For your next job you might want to memorize a list of anodyne jokes, stuff like that.
Also, the correct pronouns for talking about a group of people are ‘them’ and ‘they’.
Which pronoun did you think I misused? "their staff?" If so, you/re wrong, because I was using a possessive.
I think Shrub's clock is powering the tail rotor, then
Surely you're not one of those kooks who think "Bush lied about WMDs in Iraq".
Remember that a necessary component of a lie is that you know it's not true. Being wrong != being a liar.
You don't have an upcoming meeting with HR do you?
That would be impressive considering how long ago he started there.
W3Schools is very barebones in what it has; I usually use it as a lookup of first choice if I want to check syntax or something basic, and then if I need more information I move on.
Not any one in any house I've ever lived in. Usually the best you get is the spring releases and it's "easier" to slide it to the off position, but since I only touch the breakers once a year or so, I don't know how to judge what "easier" means.
Find a breaker that isn't covering something you are using right at the moment. Flip it off and on a couple of times, and try to get a feel for the throw. A tripped breaker will be different, and you can learn to distinguish the two. If you're afraid you'll forget by the next time you trip one, put a note on the box to remind you to flip one that you know is on first, so you can do it before you flip the tripped one back on.
@Karla Bull shit, on that article. It even quotes " Because these events are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequencies or to establish a causal relationship to components of Tripedia vaccine."
ETA:
I'm not saying it's difficult, I'm saying that "how to" says you can skip that step if you're installing in the same place as a tank water heater, and that doesn't make any fucking sense.
Instructions are frequently bad. If the piping was close enough to the wall, it would probably be true as written. It sounds like in the case of your house you would need to assume the existence of some words that weren't in the instructions you saw (e.g., "if you're installing in the same place as the tank and the existing piping is close enough to the wall that you could mount the new heater to the wall, or if you are willing to run some additional pipe.") (Note I didn't bother clicking the link, so skip your rant if this doesn't apply.)

When did you join the Order of Whispers? "Change what cannot be changed."
They said the brake pads needed replaced, they had over 50% life in them. Shit like that.
Heh. Remember when you could tell an unscrupulous mechanic, because they'd tell you you had a rear main seal leak?
reversed for home/work.
That's usually been the case for me, too, but here for some reason they CBA to upgrade. We just got to 3MBps a year ago. But I hear they've had problems with our current provider and they may switch. I keep hearing Charter Business ads for 30MBps on the radio...
if i have a big download to do i just fire up team viewer, connect to my always on server at home, queue the download and disconnect.
I could do that but it's too much work, heh. Like I said, I go home every day for lunch anyway, so I'll just start a download then, or wait until evening.
Actually my new phone has Sprint Spark, and I've gotten up to 30MBps at home. Here in the office I can get 1-3MBps at my desk; I can usually get quite a bit faster if I put the phone near a window.
Actually, I'm getting 4.7 at my desk just now.
Most cars sold in Europe can top 90mph easily.
Hell, my '92 Geo Metro could hit 90, although it helped if you were going down a hill.
Take a look at the next Entity Framework, for example-- it breaks fucking everything.
This seems like an opportunity for someone to write a compatibility shim library, that maps the old model to the new one.
The good (from the employees' POV) PMs are good at manipulating the schedules to get as close as possible to the sweet spot of the maximum immediate payout (assuming you're on or ahead of schedule) and keeping any ahead-of-schedule-ness as a hedge against things going wrong next quarter, rather than turning it into money that you may never see.
Ah, gamification. (that should be read in the style of Homer Simpson: "ah, donuts, is there anything they can't do?") and not, "oh, gamification, got it."
I will just leave this here...
It quoted Foreign Secretary Jack Straw as saying it was clear that Bush had "made up his mind" to take military action but that "the case was thin."
"Thin", here, is functionally the opposite of "there was no case."
Straw also noted that Iraq retained "WMD capability" and that "Saddam would continue to play hard-ball with the UN."
UNR687 also provided a pre-existing basis, as it required Iraq to divest itself of "100%" of all WMD capacity, which the Memo agreed it had not.
The most you can really say about this is that it claims people spun evidence. That's a far cry from what nutjobs like the Daily Kossacks tried to twist it into, which is that Bush lied.
"Bush lied" is the same thing as 9-11 trooferism: the sign of a deranged mind, or, possibly, to be charitable, an ignorant one.
have I just been out-pendantic-dickweeded?
No, because neither of you were dickweedy.
No nation that minds their own business seems to have any issues.
Snort. Oh, you are so wrong.
it is, but if you were going to do that you should just torrent it.
Oh, wait, you were trolling for a whoosh. @Accalia did say she hung up her eye patch.
Also I don't really want to think about parts previously attached to a person flying off around me.
That's disgusting, yes. Who would do that? I always try to catch the clippings and put 'em in the trash, if for no other reason than you don't want to step on one of those when you're walking around barefoot!
Yeah, I mean the 'super secret double extended support' that you have to pay through the nose for...
Isn't there a registry edit, though, that makes your computer think you have, so you can still get those updates?
Not that I care. Anyone still on XP should have their computer taken away and replaced with an abacus.
And now another Bush is running for office. Don't you people learn?
Jeb Bush will never be president, so the answer is "eventually, yes."
You might want to be careful with that if you're an AGW/ClimateChange/whatever-they're-calling-it-these-days denialist. The credulists are saying exactly the same thing about you.
They're insane, too. No global warming for 18+ years, as measured by satellite.
And even if the climate were changing, which is probably is, so what? Humans do better when the temps are a bit warmer. I guess if a million people in Bangladesh are living in sand-floor houses inches above the high-tide line, it's going to suck for them if the oceans rise a couple of inches. One could argue that that's an extremely poor choice of living space.

Sure, but if someone else prevents your buggy from getting off at it's stop, then at best, you have to wait until you get to the next one, get off there, wait for the next train in the other direction, and hope that there's no performance artist/suicidal doofus on that train.
Doesn't China have people who set themselves on fire as political protests every once in a while? Imagine a bunch of them getting together and sabotaging every buggy on one line. You could snarl up thousands of people fairly easily, probably, with a dozen or so martyrs.
There were a zillion reasons to go to war in Iraq (among others, that we were already in a low intensity shooting war).
For one thing, they were regularly violating the no-fly zones as well as refusing to allow the weapons inspections. Either of those were sufficient causes on their own for the initial invasion and removal from power of Saddam.
Bullshit. It was true then and it's true now. Iraq was in the business of aiding other terrorist enterprises (like against Israel).
It was well-known, for example, that Saddam was paying bounties to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers.
That was me. I put a unicode cow in the title, which worked at first and then didn't anymore.
I was wondering what the joke was supposed to be. "The gross orkers thread" didn't seem too funny.
But that one's not voted for. Read the description.
No, but votes might convince the mods to have the whim to bestow it.
