  1. The NP section update

    Change blindness. I have it. And that bothers me. Way more than it should. My recon trainer would have a fit. Maybe.
  2. What Are You Ingesting?

    Two Siegi's Grobe Gratwurst and a cup of tea. I need to find a sun beam to lay in and act all happy cat like.
  3. Things You Find Amusing

    These guys (Lebanese special forces) raid a bank and some office buildings for being a funding source for ISIS. What I found amusing was what they left after the raid Penalty of prosecution? I would worry about penalty of 9mm my self.
  4. Story Monday April 10, 2017

    Please to note that in this context fairy and fey are not the same thing.
  5. Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required)

    I am in migraine postdrome right now. I am starting to worry about the fact that I am more and more liking this feeling. It's not just the I don't hurt, it the other side effects of postdrome I am almost looking forward to.
  6. Things That Are Just Annoying

    If you have a major tendency towards a panic and avoid if confronted by too much stuff it is a bit of a problem. Yes, that would be the case.
  7. Story Monday April 10, 2017

    The Dan has been known to live under bridges, yes.
  8. NP Monday April 10, 2017

    As I have said before, The Dan that can be understood is not the True Dan
  9. NP: Friday April 7, 2017

    I have not worn a hat after June 10th 1988. And yes that was my last day in the army.
  10. What Are You Ingesting?

    This is a way to deal with many of life's little problems. Obligatory The Whiteboard comic
  11. Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required)

    The thermostat at my mom's house had that. For reasons I never understood she insisted that functionality didn't exist and could not exist. This was in part based on her massive HVAC experience from being a secretary of a HVAC repair place for a year or so in 1970 All that aside today is looking like a NyQuil day. See y'all in six to ten hours.
  12. What Are You Ingesting?

    Yep.
  13. What Are You Ingesting?

    I'm making a Cream of Mushroom with Garlic soup with some leftover steak mushrooms. I also noticed that at least one of the cans of "Cream of Mushroom" soup I have, is in fact, Cream of Shrimp. Not sure how I feel about that.
  14. NP: Friday April 7, 2017

    Like these?
  15. Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required)

    It wasn't set to 85, that's what the inside temperature was. It was set to 73
  16. Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required)

    Just woke up. Drenched in sweat. Checked the thermostat. Set on heat and showing 85 degrees. Moved to AC and drank about a liter of water.
  17. Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required)

    My throat tickle is back. Going to take another dose of the Q and pass right the freaking out. NyQuil works wonders on me, but I suspect that fact that it just renders me unconscious might be part of that. Use search on YouTube for NyQuil and Denis Leary. I would link to it to it, but it's rather not work safe.
  18. Things You Find Amusing

    Of course like most double ended weapons, the Bat'leth is rather silly. Weapons that you hold at that center of mass mean that you are going to smack it into your self. Yes, I know there are methods of using it so you don't, but some one with a traditional sword of the same length is going to out range the Bat'leth user by several feet. And let's not even get into the range advantage some one that uses a pointy bit as it's offensive end. Some one with a rapier would nail a Bat'leth user before they could get their first "Your mother has a smooth forehead" off. And, yes, I've seen some one that claimed he was a "master" of a Bat'leth vs a middle of the road SCA light weapon user "spar". If spar is what you call a fencer using a fanboi as a moving target.
  19. Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required)

    OK, yeah, should have said him. There, of course, is a minor problem with having him canonized. I was thinking more about Stewart Adams,Subhash Desai,Harmon Northrop Morse, Alfred Sallmann and Rudolf Pfister plus the group of Silvana Ciceri, Hans-Jurgen Hamann, Ingrid Hurner, Peter Kurka, and Joachim Maasz. Lots of Germans there, and none that did their important work during the bad years.
  20. Things that make you go WTF

    One of my many cloud storage accounts is yandex, which is either Russian or Ukrainian, depending on who you ask. Either way their math skills are random. This morning I ran this: mlooney@tunestop:~$ yandex-disk status Synchronization core status: idle Path to Yandex.Disk directory: '/home/mlooney/Yandex.Disk' Total: 10 GB Used: 9.12 GB Available: 901.22 MB Max file size: 10 GB Trash size: 3.51 GB Then I went to their web site and emptied the trash. Result: mlooney@tunestop:~$ yandex-disk status Synchronization core status: idle Path to Yandex.Disk directory: '/home/mlooney/Yandex.Disk' Total: 10 GB Used: 1.80 GB Available: 8.20 GB Max file size: 10 GB Trash size: 0 B Odd, I say to myself. Wonder how much is really there? mlooney@tunestop:~$ cd Yandex.Disk/ mlooney@tunestop:~/Yandex.Disk$ du -hL . <directory dump snipped> . 5.3G ./Edge 33M ./bin 40M ./Music 4.0K ./My Yandex.Images/Sort This 13M ./My Yandex.Images 99M ./.sync 5.8G Meh. Ok what does their site say? Well, I can't do a cut and paste because it is a popup, but the "my drive" thing says I have 1.8G used. Hovering over the `Edge` directory shows that it is 5.3G, which is what I expect. The good Russian hackers must be messing with the US political email servers, because these guys are, well, not good.
  21. Things That Are Just Annoying

    See that? That's why I'm the psychopath and you aren't. :-)
  22. NP: Friday April 7, 2017

    Oh, yeah. That isn't even their dress uniform, that is the honor guard uniform. The only wear that when they are doing something really important. Sort of like the big bear skin hats that the UK Army wears at times.
  23. Things That Are Just Annoying

    @ProfessorTomoe is allowed, no even encouraged, to point and laugh at me. I have a tickle in the back of my throat that is my normal warning of a sore throat coming on. I'm going to take a dose of NyQuil and go to bed. Knowing what the Q does to me, I expect to wake up around 10 AM.
  24. What Are You Ingesting?

    Yes, I have. I like lime slices better than lemon, but that is but a quibble.
