Yes. Did that 2 Junes ago. 7020 miles in a Miata over 11 days.
That could be a lot of things. Injectors, mass air flow sensor, throttle body, air intakes covered in shrinkwrap... don't ask about that last one... But that's just the gas engine side. Could be something wrong on the hybrid system that's causing the gas engine issues. Hope not, and I don't think it's likely to be the case, but after 20 years I wouldn't automatically discount the possibility.
"meat" and "mouthfeel" I believe I've been summoned.
All I did was fall ribs first onto the edge of a steel and glass coffee table and I've largely been homebound for three weeks. I wouldn't have attempted to stop a car.
I bet they would never say that to porn actors.
Inserting screen shots of games you're playing as part of your work logs?
We still haven't received all of our forms from everybody to be able to do our taxes.

Yeah, just checked in with Shiro because he has much broader work experience than I do (he was a 1970s line worker at an auto factory, for example), and he has the exact same life experience I do: You get 10 paid holidays a day, and they're aligned with Federal holidays as much as possible. So seems like this is yet another, "Screw you, Millenials and younger!" moment... Every company I've been employed by? 6 at most. New Year's Day
Yes, the big 6 federal holidays are there, but not Presidents Day, MLK, Veterans Day, Juneteenth, etc. Illinois also has a state holiday for Casmir Pulaski as well, which is just another day I haven't had off since high school.
How does automation get around a thee strikes rule on a timer? you need a million tries to brute force a password then by the time you wait a few million 10 minute spams whatever you're after will be mostly valued as an antique anyway. Because automation doesn't sleep. Brute force attacks are not efficient attacks, but a long term "We'll get in eventually" idea. And really, all they actually need is a company where the Business People dictate to IT how things are going to go, and if you don't like it you can find a different job. Places like that don't have a 10 minute lockout after 3 fails. That would be inconvenient to Business People.
AI door hinges that operate on a subscription...in every door of your home...
Vany, any thoughts?** spoiler omitted ** Data centers. AI. AI data centers. Cryptocurrency. This is a scourge. CEOs are convinced they have to have AI or they'll be left behind. In order to power all this AI...data centers that wreck the local areas where they're being built - power grids don't have enough supply and it relies on the local water supplies for cooling. Which takes away from the drinking supplies...and drives up everyone's electric bills as demand outstrips supply. Video cards have been problematicly priced and have had scarcity issues for several years now due to cryptocurrency. Also, they have RAM chips built into them. We're coming back to that. Yhe companies that make SSDs (effectively just persistent RAM chips) and RAM see a cash cow with the corporate data center push and no longer feel the need to cater to the consumer markets, to the point of publicly announcing they're leaving those markets entirely. This issue isn't going away in a year or two without something drastic happening...like an AI powered device killing someone.
I don't think that Freehold sheds that much. You would be surprised.
I'd eat your cheesecake. Wait... Yes. That is what I meant.
I need everyone's address for...no reason. Scint/Orthos first. I see you have chosen violence.
That's the sort of behavior where I start wondering when the police officers are going to show up at the door. Holidays!
Happy birthday, you gigantic goof.
'Sup, FaWtLfolk?Hiya! Long time no see :) Admitting your mistakes and taking responsibility goes a long way. It won't fix it, but you don't need me to tell you that.
*hugs*
I would simply like to add my voice of agreement to this sentiment.
Yes. And my cats looked at it, said nope, and I haven't been able to get it out of my house since. My wife bought it against my wishes because I knew our cats weren't going to touch it. I would pay a lot of money to make it disappear. I'd think about hiring David F'in Copperfield for a private show to get this outta here.
If I knew you wanted one of those I'd have shipped you ours. For free.
I was personally and directly informed that I am not allowed to provide Valeros a proper blowgun to avoid future dart swallowing.
Probably should give the lad back some points if he doesn’t own a monocle, smoking jacket, and fluffy white cat. No. He just needs to try harder. Maybe spend some of that money to get the proper accoutrements. Truly commit to it.
When the bar is "which one at this price point is the least crappy"...
I hate printers and copiers. I'm generally not fond of the companies that sell and/or lease these devices to other companies. I utterly detest technicians that lie to their customers and tell them that I'm the idiot who's doing everything wrong. For some reason they get very silent when I send them proof of their incompetence, include the customer on the email, and explain it so that the customer understands my point.
Huge congrats to them.
At least the cop was reasonable about it with the verbal. I know one city in between us where they would have gone straight to a ticket with no discussion on the matter.
I lost my humanity years ago. Err...umm... Hi!? (Yes, good recovery. I'm certain no one noticed.)
Or he wanted to walk 4/10ths of 500 miles so he could walk 800 more.Drugs. I have never liked that song, but I like it a little bit more now just because you caused Freehold pain.
Cosmo. Dude. We've talked about this. It's Friday. You killed power to an entire town last night. I was *eventually* able to get my client's servers to come back up and behave normally, but it took a few hours and I have to get a root cause on why the SAN took four hours to stabilize after coming back up. Then I got notified that a different client in a different town in the complete opposite direction was having horrible noises coming from their server room. Go out there and yeah...UPS battery backups aren't supposed to make crackling sounds. This is all on you. Knock it off.
Yeah, 93F with 75% humidity is not doing me any favors. I'd rather do 105F in Arizona than this.
If you didn't leave a message, then it wasn't important and I'm not calling you back.
I blame Cosmo for also being one of the people who bought that corner store. Also for picking the other buyer, who is likely Cosmo's clone. I blame Cosmo for cloned sheep as well, obviously. The logic is sound.
Oh, I knew you were going to enjoy that one.
I have been asked again, by the same person at the same client. The request was a report of all employees who have more than 200 unread emails in their mailbox and how much over 200. No. "So how am I supposed to know who is behind in their work? Open all their emails? Please advise?" I can't tell you how to manage your employees, but I can tell you that's a useless metric for basing anything from. I can also tell you "No.". You should also STEP DOWN AS THE CEO.
Obviously you agreed to do it. No, I didn't. *I* found it creepy. Also, I don't have the level of access needed to furnish the client with the requested data. And I'm very happy for that to remain true.
Today I was asked by a client to do something both creepy and also illegal in multiple countries. It was a great day.
On Wednesday I worked from 8am until 6:40am Thursday. There will be whisky.
Mieko repeatedly escaped a muzzle the vet tried putting on her last week. A cone is no challenge for her.
Some people just need to be tied up and left in a car's trunk for a day or two. What? Why are you looking at me like that?
I had a planned 5 day weekend but I'm stretching it to 6. It's ridiculous that I can drive 7000 miles in 11 days and be fine, but put me on a plane for 2000 miles each way and suddenly my body forgets that I'm supposed to be able to walk.
And said app will have the same robust security as using pasta as a door lock.
Back at the airport. Heading to Seattle.
I did ask a parent with a leashed kid if the child was feral. I got a confused look that I took for "don't know what that means". So I rephrased. Was your kid raised by woodland animals? Not housebroken yet? I'm confused why you need a leash on your kid. Does it also come with a bell on the harness? I may have been more than a tad upset with this person. Spent more time posing for selfies in the grocery store than actually shopping or paying attention to...the world around them in a general sense...
Friend of mine doesn't understand what I do for a living. I ran into a strange audio issue on 2 of the three PCs in the house. Minor annoyance, I'll get to it later. He's trying to help me troubleshoot, unasked. He's just trying to be helpful, and he is a friend. I'm trying so hard not to tell him to just go away.
I made peach sourdough discard muffins for breakfast this morning. They were freaking amazing. You mean AI made you some peach sourdough discard muffins for breakfast. *Waves at NH*
Ouch TOZ. Been there. You have my sympathies.
Last time Mieko went to the vet it took three people to get a simple blood draw. Mieko was twice as successful and sent two of them through the bite protocols and showed them how drawing blood is done professionally.
