  1. Things That Are Just Annoying

    Waking up in the wee hours of the morning with almost all the symptoms of a hangover when you didn't drink the night before. I strongly suspect migraine Prodromal stage so I am taking my standard mix of early migraine medications to hopefully stop it. If nothing else they will work on standard headaches and I'm drinking several glasses of water on the chance it's dehydration caused by some source I can't think of right now. Regardless very freaking annoying.

    You mean, of course, a version of 'Dew...

    Jinks have been spotted at the mall! Please take action as needed.
  4. Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required)

    Good News! (™ James May) I got my medicare card today! Bad New! (™ J. Michael Looney) It isn't valid until 03/01/2017 (That's March 1st for those people that might think that means 3rd of January)

    Just for the record F72 is the clinical/billing code way of saying Severe intellectual disabilities Applicable To IQ 20-25 to 35-40 Severe mental subnormality Cut and pasted from here It's not "mental illness" it's the clinical version of the r word.
  6. What Are You Watching?

    Consider the joke with the punch line of "hand egg" done for this year...
  7. Story Friday November 18, 2016

    Is "They fit a 318.2 diagnosis" or "They code as F72" off limits as well?
  8. What Are You Watching?

    Doing the first `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` on a Ubuntu virtual machine. Damn that takes a while.
  9. Things that make you go WTF

    If you import a OVA file into VirtualBox, it makes a vmdk file. Which can not be modified by VBoxManage in any way other than being cloned to a VDI file, which you can dink with. VirtualBox will cheerfully use a VTI file as the "hard disk" of the virtual machine, so why the hell didn't they select VTI as the import to file type? Oracle, that's why.
  10. Political Discussion Thread (READ FIRST POST)

    Just to set a bench mark, a disabled veteran, who after getting out of the military spent about 20 years in fairly high paying tech/IT/programmer/SysAdmin jobs, gets $1,570 a month. That works out to $9.80 an hour. That is 2.56 over the minimum wage in Oklahoma. I can live, fairly comfortably on that, because I live in Oklahoma and am willing to live in a 400 sq foot apartment. So what is the equality wage for me? At my peak earnings I was making $75.00 an hour. That company went dot bomb, and it's pay scale might have had something to do with that. My "normal" pay averaged out to about $25-30 an hour. And because all my 401(k) stuff was in tech stocks (didn't have much choice) it's value is close to nil. Add in that almost every company I've worked with has gone belly up for one reason or another I have diddly over squat for savings. I will be living on my disability or Social Security for the rest of my life.

    Want to see what $2.5 million USD will get you? Mad Max with no CGI. Video Removed by Amazon
  12. Things that make you go WTF

    HTML5 Video playback. Been around for 8 years now. Supported by all the major browsers and most of the minor ones. Why the freaking hell do I need to have both flash (remember, Adobe is dried mud) and Silverlight installed to play most videos? I used to write web sites for a living. HTML5 video is a freaking snap. Setting up flash or Silverlight is a pain in the sitting area. It's a good thing I have 2 tablets that can play Amazon and Netflix because if I tried to play them on the iMac I would be hosed.
  13. Story Friday November 18, 2016

    I suspect that is a majority of the members of this forum.
  14. Things that make you go WTF

    Oh I suspect I will be a regular here.
  15. I'm putting this here because it's effectively a pin up. It's a high resolution color version "Stacked Rhoda" I accept this will happen in canon, even if it's off screen. I suspect that until The Dan makes the Patreon post open to all this image might fail if you aren't a Patreon of Dan
  16. Sunday Nov 13 2016 Stacked Rhoda

    Oh, good. Yeah, that's a bit off the wall.
  17. NP Friday November 11, 2016

    I suspect once Rhoda starts moving Cat is going to stop looking at the "huge tracks of land" and start panicking again.
  18. NP Friday November 18, 2016

    You, sir, a prince among men for doing all that work.
  19. Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required)

    Yep, that was it. And getting "brain zaps", something I've never had and I'm glad of that.
  20. Things That Are Just Annoying

    Oh, yeah, that would be major annoying. And it seems to have lost a post of mine. Not an important one, but still annoying. [edit] Never mind. Went into the "Things you don't know how you feel about" thread. Toss up on it needing to be there or here, really
  21. Story Wednesday Nov 16, 2016

    The Whiteboard spent 2 and half years on one day. Here is the end, which 1) Lampshades it and 2) has a link to the start of that day.
  22. Story Friday November 18, 2016

    /me thinks about it. Yeah, on the list, with an underline.
  23. NP Friday November 11, 2016

    She seems rather confident right now. Might not.
  24. NP Friday November 18, 2016

    That, of course, assumes that that is the only mall in town, or that they went to the same one. There is canon for that, in that the term "the mall" with on name attached has been used more than once.
  25. Story Friday November 18, 2016

    Please don't say that. Some people might take it as a challenge. Me, for example on a weird day/night.
