Title: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: ariich on November 23, 2015, 01:34:34 PM
Old one (https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=43444.0) was epic in length (TWSS) so time for a new one.

Posting in Kinginese is optional.

It's only the external backup that's running out of space, and that's because I have a 2Tb drive to backup 3Tb of internal storage. I'm thinking of asking for a 3Tb drive for Christmas for a new backup. I still have 700Gb free on my internal drives.

Basically I can guarantee my monitor will have perfect brightness and colour, exactly how it's supposed to look. I'm not sure whether I'll get the hardware calibrator now or later, since these things come from the factory damn near perfectly calibrated anyway.

I've thought about dual screens, but it's less necessary with larger monitors than it used to be in the CRT days (although it still has a lot of benefits depending on your usage). I don't think I have enough desk space for two monitors though, and I'm sure as hell not buying two of this monitor. :lol

Hey, Blob

What do you think of the color accuracy of a monitor like this one (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Y09G6JG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00). I bought one earlier this summer. I love the real estate and everything seem terrific to me, but I'm no expert and without having it calibrated, I'm unsure if I should do any color work on my family photos. Do you think that most of these products are close enough that if I do a little color correcting in Photoshop that the prints will look fine?

By the way, talk about not missing dual monitors anymore!  :)

Yeah, that thing is basically a dual monitor all by itself! :metal I'm personally not a fan of the current curved trend though, and I hope that doesn't catch on.

On paper it looks capable enough, I just have no idea how accurate the colours would be out of the box, since it doesn't appear to be targeted to high end image editing. For editing family photos I'm sure it's just fine though, but since it's not calibrated and isn't using a wider gamut, it may take a bit of trial and error to get your prints looking exactly how you see them on screen.

I'm not a fan of the curved trend for a living room televisions, for sure. But this thing on my desktop, being closer to my face, is really comfortable...and playing FPS games is a real treat!
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: BlobVanDam on November 24, 2015, 07:20:56 AM
I have less problem with it for an individual screen, but for multiple people like a living room, it makes no sense to me (it makes no sense to me either way, but it makes less sense).

My new monitor will only be 24", so nowhere near as big as your beast of a monitor, but even that will be a huge upgrade in size for me from my current 17" CRT. To me 24" is the sweet spot for computer monitors. Beyond that, and the input lag and refresh often start to suffer, and I'd rather have a smaller screen with better specs.

What about 4K OLED?

I've been waiting over almost a decade for OLED monitors to finally hit the market, so I'm interested in those, but I have no interest in 4K (and none of this curved fad garbage). There's currently very little content for 4K, and I wouldn't want to run a PC full time at that res with current hardware and software, nor would I run at non-native res on a fixed resolution panel. But real black would be nice instead of the terrible way LCD handles it.

And I missed Dr. DTVT by a few days - he was heading out of town (for a meetup with Nick and King no less), just as I was heading into his neck of the woods.

If Reaper would only tell me when he comes into town, I could scratch him off the list too.

The sex was great as well

Funny, that's what the Queen told me when you went to tinkle.

I have not, in fact, met jingle.  Or many others.  Although I would love too.

I met rumborak and a host of other older members (who are largely inactive here now) at the DTF meetup in New York on April 1, 2006 (before the RCMH show).  In addition, it is my understanding that several people who are still active were there also, but we didn't meet - it was a large gathering, and I was still fairly new to DTF.

I also met vtgrad at the local showing of Live at Luna Park.  And I met DrDTVT in my city on my birthday a few years ago (he happened to be travelling through, so we met for lunch).

Geez man, why do you have to be such a downer?  You asked "Has anyone here met another DTFer in reality ?"

I post a picture in the pic thread everytime I meetup with someone, as do a lot of others.  I know you've been in the pic thread.  It would seem logical that you know the answer to the question you asked.  So my response of "not sure if serious" (through a very common and widely used gif) is putting you in your place how? 

Your question was not worded to ask "which members have met other members?" if that's what you intended.

But whatever... take it as me putting you in your place.

I didn't have anywhere near that many.

Atari 2600
Commodore 64
NES
SNES
Gameboy
Gameboy Colour
N64
Gameboy Advance
Playstation (pretty sure the PS2 was already out by the time I got one and I barely played it anyway :lol)
Gamecube
Nintendo DS
Wii (eventually)


The Commodore 64 and NES sadly didn't make it (my parents sold them off when I was too young to care :(). Some of the Atari 2600 survived and most of the SNES (I only have five games now though). Probably a combination of sold and lost. Everything else is intact.

Ooooo lists, I love those.

Here is what I had growing up until now:

Not that many systems, I've always been a PC gamer primarily.

I played NES at a friend's house but never owned one. No childhood was complete without playing SMB and Duck Hunt!
The Mega Drive is worth it just for the Sonic games.

Some Windows 3.1 PC which we used for Word Processing, Creative Sound Labs audio editing ( for shits n giggles ) and really basic video games. . .
Amstrad PCW 8256 for Word Processing and DTP

Fix'd for me.

Man, that was one helluva sleep in.  9.5 hours.  Mrs.jingle had to get up and get going relatively early this morning, which meant she could let the dogs out - I took advantage and turned the alarm off.  My body cooperated and let me sleep until 9am.

Weekend = chores.  It's freezing out there - literally, 00C.  Indoor work only.

My landlord's repair man was also supposed to come by my place to fix our deadbolt, which is being a little bitch. Dude was supposed to be here like at 3:30. And then it got pushed to 4. Then 6-7p. Now its almost 8pm and he is now ALMOST here. So fucking much for doing the shit we had planned on doing. (Shooting range, bowling, dinner, drinkz). Now we have like just time to grab food. Maybe. If the dude doesn't take too long. He still has to show up, diagnose, and fix the issue.

Just some work I'm currently doing for a company. I'm redoing all of the icons for a piece of their software, because the current ones are ancient and amateurish, and they need them in larger sizes. There are about 800 icons to do in total.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: Podaar on November 29, 2015, 06:13:35 AM
Depending on the size of them that would be difficult! I remember, some years ago, trying to make a set of icons that were 12 px x 12 px. The only way I found to do it effectively was to make them at 150 x 150 and then shrink them to use as a template to make cleaner icons. This was back in the 1990's though.

I'm sure you have a much more effective way now.

Sounds like you were still working with palettized images? The current icons are like that, but the new icons are true colour with a proper alpha channel, so it's a little easier. Other than that, not too different. I'm creating the icons at 128x128, then I use a macro in Photoshop to automatically export to the different sizes the icons need, which is 16, 20, 24, 32, 40, 48, and 64. 16x16 is hard enough, so 12x12 must have been basically impossible. And on many of these icons they've tried to squeeze in writing. Ugh!

"Barmy" (as referenced under synonyms) is a more modern "chiefly British" mangling of the original word.

Funnily enough I was thinking of Survivor when I posted.  Yeah , it has been warm and muggy here too with ridiculous winds/storms that have had our place looking like a hurricane zone 3 days out of the last six.   Weird weather that makes me wonder what we're in for this coming summer.

This was the fantastic view from my back window a couple of years ago (according to the file dates, Oct 2013, not even Summer yet).

That time we all got texts for an evacuation warning, so my family was going apeshit. It was pretty scary, but with the direction it was approaching from, I think we were safer than it looked.

Back in the bushfires of 2001, the fires burned out the empty lot directly across the road from us. There's a house there now, but it would have been gone if it was built then. Lucky there's an 8ft high concrete wall just behind it, because I could see flames a good 3m high behind it. The worst of it was on Christmas Eve, but the fire across the street was on Christmas fucking morning. The whole house stunk of smoke for a couple of days too.

Summer, amirite?
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: bl5150 on November 30, 2015, 09:40:08 AM
Yeah...........it gets dicey at times.

On Black Saturday we got outta there and drove 10-15 kms south of the fires.  This is a photo from around there with our house (obviously) 10-15kms in the distance about to be engulfed..........it seems.  Thankfully there was a change in wind direction about then.

It's almost time for me to leave. I think I'll listen to the new Subsignal on the way home. It's killer in case someone wants to check it out. I know it's on Spotify already. On the way in I listened to the Haken Restoration EP.

I'd say a mix of melodic rock/AOR and prog rock. Subsignal has the two main guys from Sieges Even. Are you familiar with them?

I like the new one but I also think Paraiso is superior. I wrote the review for it on Lady Obscure's site.

I love Sieges Even.

I always loved SE but when Arno Menses took over as their vocalist they reached a whole different level of awesome.

We also have a gas heater in the basement, so we also still have heat if we lose power.  Which has come in handy on more than one occasion during winter.

My first attempt turned out alright considering, but it kinda looked like a senior citizen with Parkinson's trying to dance. :lol Then I tried the automatic jitter removal, and now it looks awesome.

But for the time and cost invested so far, I'm very happy with the potential of this.

Patching stuff never happened before online gaming. Games just worked out of the box.


It's like in Destiny. There was one cave where monsters would frequently re-spawn and leave all sorts of goodies. SO of course that got "fixed"  ::)

And there was one boss where you could hide in one spot and fire away and not get harmed. WE'LL PATCH THAT...

NO FUN ALLOWED.

It also gives publishers an excuse to rush games out and patch it so it works later. A lot of big games have had nasty bugs out of the box that they had to patch immediately.

I'm a casual gamer at best these days though, so it doesn't affect me. I just got an XBOX 360 Kinect today, and I never even intend to plug it into my actual XBOX 360. :lol

VR could be great once it's developed, although it's still in its infancy. So glad I have the money now for when the Oculus Rift or the Valve one comes out to mess around with (again, not going to be for gaming though).
The Kinect is a great piece of hardware, but I don't like such an imprecise method of input for gaming, same with the Wiimote. The Kinect is great for other uses though. I also prefer a gamepad for gaming.

Google Cardboard is nice as a cheap starting point for VR, although the optics are no doubt nothing close to accurate in terms of perspective, not to mention that smartphones are somewhat underpowered and don't have great screens for something as demanding as VR. I expect the step up from that to the Rift or the Valve HTC will be no less mind blowing.

They'll probably have to scale back graphics a bit for the PS4 too, although that should still manage some good stuff. Having fixed hardware helps in terms of optimization.
My interest fully lies in the PC side, but not for gaming. I'd love to make some VR environments, and be able to really experience them, instead of just seeing it on a screen. The thought of seeing the TARDIS at full scale, or walking around Hill Valley 2015 are the kinds of things I'm itching to make. :blob:

Yeah. That's going to be great. I think the VR is really going to shine in the homebrewing community. The playstation VR will be able to display at 60hz, 90hz, and 120hz. Should give developers some nice options in regards to the scale of their environments. Developers don't seem to have many problems getting 60fps (though I'm not sure if that means 30fps in each eye), but I know Sony has been working with them to try and get 90fps.

60fps means 60fps, it's not like 3D with glasses on a home theater that alternates frames for each eye. It's good that the Playstation VR screen supports those higher framerates, although driving it is another. Much like a lot of console games have had to run at 30fps or only render at 720p and upscale, I expect we'll see the same deal with Playstation VR. There are also some optimizations they can do to run the game at a lower framerate, but still maintain the higher framerate sense of presence by applying some camera transforms without updating. I don't know how much that will help though.

Since the Oculus has already been available for a couple of years to developers, it's already incorporated quite well into all of the major game engines that indie developers use, such as the Unreal Engine, and Unity which is what I use, and it's almost trivial to get it up and running. Adapting a game or creating one from scratch to work within the parameters of a whole new way of playing is of course another matter altogether.

2016 is going to be an important year for VR.

I'm really looking forward to it. I've been waiting for this since trying a Virtual Boy in Toys R Us when I was about five. I think it has the potential to completely revolutionize how we watch video content. The thought of being able to look around a movie and seeing it from different angles is awesome.

Just out of curiosity, have you heard of or read the book "Ready Player One"?

I know it, but I'm not much of a sit down and read kind of guy. If I was a reader though, it would be on my list.

The reason I've always hated 3D movies is because the 3D implementation is not truly how our eyes work. VR is how it should be done, although I'm not sure it will be practical any time soon to make movies that way. But looking around is out of the question for now unless it's rendered on the fly, because obviously stereoscopic video doesn't support left/right panning. Up/down should be fine in theory. Maybe they'll find a better way to fudge it in future, but the storage and editing requirements would be ridiculous.

No doubt. I didn't mean that that'll be the first thing we see out of VR. But in 20-30 years time, I think the technology and processing power will be able to make that available to the masses.

There are no cures or remedies for stupidity, only band-aids.

But there is correction by someone else.  That's still a feather in John's cap.

He'll fix the problem, and make his money, and move along, but I'm sure the other idiot will fudge it back up soon enough. :biggrin:

Very true but as a manger myself, I take notes to someone that is willing to fix someone problem for the better good.  Those are the ones you take care of.


So I go allll the way up to 238th St. in the Bronx (I work out of downtown Brooklyn) which is about an hour and a half on the subway and Verizon STILL didn't fix their end of it. Instead of just saying that they're still working on it, they said it's something on the transit side of things. BULLSHIT.  Three hours of traveling to do two minutes of testing to realize Verizon still doesn't have a clue. 

On a side note, thank you New York City tax payers for paying for rest of the 7 hours and 58 minutes that I was doing nothing.   ;D

Nah, I thought we were 15 hrs difference.  Maybe that's Kade or Brent?  I dunno... timezones!  How do they work?

I don't know. I thought we were all the same timezone, although DST may differ between states. It varies from 14-16 hours depending on the time of year.

The stats are quite comparable on paper, and I even suspect they're using the same LCD panel, which helps eliminate some comparison. The difference is mostly the rest of the electronics, and I'm finding it hard to find directly comparable reviews from the same site to see if one has a distinct advantage in quality. When I'm spending ~$1700 on a monitor, the $100 difference doesn't matter much to me if one is better than the other.

So tomorrow (technically its past midnight so today) is payday. I got a notification from my payroll app at 10 PM with my paystub. I look at the paystub and see that I am shorted overtime.

This is the second pay period in a row this has happened. I am NOT a happy penguin.

I sent a long email to the girls in the office, as well as the owner of the company, my account manager, and my supervisor. Surprisingly the owner emailed me back at midnight... so hopefully this will be resolved soon.

Its like $100 I am shorted, before tax. Not a lot to some people but still...

Right before the holidays too.  That's shyte Jay.  King's right, owner should pony up, given it's the second time in a row his employees have boned you. I'm sure $100 isn't too much for him to float.

They're sending me back to the same place I was yesterday and Friday. Verizon really are a bunch of lazy fucks. This will go on and on, back and forth, until management gets involved and they finally admit it's something on their end.

So, I get there and the circuit is good. Yet nobody claims to have done something to change it. The Verizon techs do this a lot. They claim it's not their fault and there's nothing they can do, then within twenty four hours everything is working again. I know one of our guys didn't do anything because, well, they do shit most of the time.

Fuck yeah it is (it will actually be $1738 all up including shipping, after the $200 cashback deal). It will be the first monitor I've bought since 2002, and the first LCD monitor I've ever had for my PC, so I'm going to make sure it's a good one. This is what it takes to get a monitor that meets my standards. :lol

But it's not a valid joke. This monitor calibrates down to the exact recommended brightness, which isn't bright. The thing will only be running at about 30% of the maximum brightness. :blob: It's a sad fact that the majority of people run their monitors WAY too bright because they just use the shitty defaults, but this monitor is factory calibrated correctly.

My previous monitor was a 17" CRT back in 2003 which cost $205. This should be a sweet upgrade for the most part (although I'll miss CRT refresh rate and lack of input lag).

For a gamer, that thing will actually kick the shit out of my monitor, as the higher end monitors have much slower refresh rates that are garbage for gaming, because they sacrifice response time for colour accuracy (and vice versa for the cheaper monitors). That monitor is clearly purely for gamers.
If you do graphics work though, you wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. :biggrin:

LCD monitors are all about compromise, so it's a matter of what your priority is. If we swapped monitors, we'd both be very unhappy, with good reason. :lol

Lucky he uses the Adobe programs, since they're all cross platform. Plus with buying a PC, he can upgrade as necessary in future moreso than with a Mac, which again makes it even cheaper.

The Australian dollar is currently in the crapper at $0.72, and we get raped on prices at the best of times. The recommended retail price for the monitor here is about $1600. Also, the price I paid includes the colorimeter to calibrate it, plus a monitor hood, plus shipping.

Makes sense. In notice the 27" monitor in that model is $2200.00 here. That's a huge step up price so it's also likely that Amazon has some sort of "special" going on the 24"

So, I got dragged to a concert last night by my wife and a couple of friends. The English Beat (The British Beat for you Aussies)

I. Am. Shit. Full. Of. Ska!

That's a higher end range, not in the same range as mine. I don't see the 27" from the same range on Amazon.

I'm a network engineer, Cisco certified. I use some of that expertise at my job but I also deal with antiquated phone circuits and equipment like CSU/DSUs. I never worked with the phone system before. Most of my experience is with routers and switches. The phone system is light years easier compared to learning LAN/WAN.

Software engineering is interesting. Besides what I do for my job, I'm also teaching myself C++, Linux Red Hat, penetration testing, and gray hat hacking.

Nice :tup. I was looking into getting a cisco cert for networking and it's tough test

They updated it earlier this year and it made it extremely difficult. The reason being was because people were getting their CCNA and then not pursuing the more advanced certifications. That left them with limited knowledge about networking, so Cisco made the CCNA a more arduous certification to attain. If you want some advice about what to use for studying just let me know.

I assume that would be the 100/120Hz mode, with that nasty interpolation that makes everything look unnaturally smooth. Most people seem to hate the higher frame rate, as evidenced by the response to the Hobbit movies.
How much Australian TV have you even seen besides Neighbours anyway? :lol

Oh you get Home and Away too? Wasn't sure how popular that was there. That just finished yesterday for the year. They pulled a "who shot Mr Burns" storyline.

I studied and passed the CCNP ROUTE exam which is the hardest of the three exams needed to be a CCNP, the other being SWITCH and TSHOOT. I blew it out of the water with a 953 out of 1000. I'm actually thinking about going straight for the CCIE instead of finishing the CCNP. However, I don't know if I will be finished studying in time before my certification expires. So, I might just take the SWITCH exam first or just retake the CCNA to extend the validity of the certification.

Morning, Boss

We took our granddaughter out to dinner last night. While we're sitting there waiting for the server to come take our order, I say, "Well Tessa, 11 huh? Wow, how time flies." She smiled at me just a little and does this  ::)

So I look over at Mrs. P for some clue and she says, "Tessa's 13, Dear." Then Tess, laughs out loud and rolls her eyes again. The three of us are all looking at each other now with heads swiveling like six-shooters at a Mexican stand-off. She giggles again, and says, "I'm 12 Pappa."

This grandparent business is more difficult than you would think. Just as you start to loose your faculties, a crap load of people you need to keep track of come into your life.  :lol

The original series is not at all necessary viewing to get into the modern series, so it's not as daunting as it looks (I'd strongly recommend starting with the new series either way). The modern series is self contained, it just has the occasional classic series nugget for the die-hard fans.

Even though there would be some references you would miss, you could even start more recently than that, either with the start of Matt Smith's run (series 5) or even Capaldi (series 8).

TNG Series 5 is the best by far.

Series 1 really shows it's Eighties in retrospect. The horrible synthy music over everything and overly dramatic acting.

Thank fuck they ditched all that for Series 3 onwards.

I only did 75 mins today. Mondays and Thursdays are my "Go in and clean up" days. I just clean the kitchen for 90 - 120 mins.

Cool, we're Eizo buddies! :tup I just got an Eizo CS240 (24" 1920x1200 AH-IPS). I just set it up, so I'm still adjusting to it. Haven't even calibrated it yet. First impressions are that the size is perfect, I don't need to adjust the text size. I was hoping the blacks would be a little deeper, but I knew that IPS didn't have the best black level, and I'm coming off a CRT here, so I'm used to good blacks. No dead pixels, consistency looks great, colour temperature is warmer than I'm used to, but I knew I always had my colour temp too cold in the past, so this looks more neutral. Refresh rate is better than I expected.
The only disappointment is that it only came with some awful micro Displayport cable, which I can't use because my PC has a real Displayport port, so I'm stuck with DVI until I can buy another cable. Not a big deal, but 10 bit colour will have to wait for another day.

To do it properly, it's best with a monitor that actually supports hardware calibration, rather than just software. I now have presets for sRGB at 80cd/m, 100cd/m, and 120cd/m. I liked 120cd/m the best, so I'm going with that for now. :blob:

Post by: Podaar on December 11, 2015, 07:12:40 AM
I just did a little reading, Blob.

Yeah, I didn't understand the process properly. It's probably best just to go with the factory calibration that came with my monitor. Since I'm primarily concerned with having my edited family pictures print accurately to what I'm seeing on the monitor, it's not really that big of a deal. For the most part, things turn out fine if just a bit off on the temperature. I'll just need to compare and adjust from there.

Otherwise, I'd need to pick a specific lab and have them calibrate the monitor (and Photoshop) to their equipment.

Besides, standards are better than ever and it's not likely that I'll send something to a print lab and get a dramatically off color.

The most important thing is to make sure your monitor is set to a reasonable brightness (the defaults on 95% of LCDs are about twice as bright as they should be, especially to emulate paper), and try to adjust your gamma, which you can do with a test image and your graphics card software. And try to set your monitor's colour temperature to something neutral (printing should be set to warmer than what most monitors are defaulted to). Most monitors have no standards, but print labs are probably used to compensating for average consumer equipment unless they're aimed specifically at pros.
Doing graphics, it's such piece of mind to know my monitor is displaying objectively correct colours. One less thing to concern myself with when uploading videos to the internet, or doing video for other people.

I installed f.lux on my Mac, which automatically adjusts not only the brightness, but hue and contrast as well - based on sunrise/sunset.  Takes a bit of getting used to, but it's cool.

I installed f.lux on my Mac, which automatically adjusts not only the brightness, but hue and contrast as well - based on sunrise/sunset.  Takes a bit of getting used to, but it's cool.

That would be an awful idea for image quality and consistency, as it's assuming the colour temp of the ambient light (ie flourescent/incandescent vs natural daylight colour temps, which can all vary greatly), and brightness. It would be a much better idea to have a more controlled environment for working at the computer.
I'm not sure if that can access the monitor settings directly being a Mac, but if that's done in software, that would be even worse.

Yes, I'm a computer/graphics snob. This is not news. :lol

While I don't do graphics that monitor that I have was way way too bright when I first got it out of the box. Like eyes tearing up bright.

I don't even know the last time I properly watched the movies. I'm not that much of a fan. I'm not sure when I'll be seeing TFA either yet. I'd like to see it fairly early, but I'm not sure I want to go anywhere near it on the first days. And school holidays will have just started I think, so the daytime won't be any safer.

I don't blame you. Kids + Christmas holidays + Star Wars + basically no movie competition = terrible.
I do prefer to see movies early on though, usually on the first day or two. Our local cinema is usually bare, so it will be interesting to see what it's like for Star Wars.

Can't say I've ever wanted a cinema screen to be bigger. If we can we pay a bit more for the "Xtreme Screen", which I guess is supposed to be larger, but we only do it because it has nicer seats, and it has rows of 2 off to the side, so there's no risk of being next to people, plus they have cupholders, which we use for candy.

The only 3D that I do go to nowadays is the odd IMAX screening, but if it's actually shot in 3D, then I'm interested.  X-Men Apocalypse is the only one in 2016 that has any consequence for me.  Nothing in 2015 was.

We have a chain of movie theaters here that serve food at your seats before the movie starts. You get these massive recliners and a really kick ass menu. The theater holds only about 50 people too and they serve booze so it's 21 and over.

Nice. Not that I drink, or would pay cinema prices for anything though. We always smuggle in our own candy.
Our cinema is never filled, usually only about 20 people. We had no problem booking tickets for opening day at 10pm (or earlier times, but 10pm was the most convenient time). It's the first official day of school holidays here, so I imagine the day screenings will be packed.

Yes, they have been getting better each week, which is kind of rare in the NFL.  They are worlds better than they were at the beginning of the season.

We did lose a player for the rest of the season, but I think the defense will be able to overcome that.

Well, the Star Wars film was lovingly made by people who have a deep and abiding love for Star Wars and truly want this film to be worth the wait and live up to the previous best the series had to offer, and the Star Trek film was not.

Both things are painfully obvious.

Have a good trip home Prog. I still have another 35 minutes at work, afterwards I'm getting some greek food and then going to see Third Eye Blind tonight.

My church went for Chinese food yesterday.

They started bringing plates out and I was like :( there's nothing here. I'm not gonna get anything.

Then after a couple of tiny courses which I didn't care for - they bought out plate after plate after plate of sweet n sour meat and I was like  ;D oh hell yes.

There were 14 of us and they bought out so much food that

a.) I was full up

b.) We took 10 tubs home of leftovers :lol

I find it offensive to my beliefs as a strong sports denier.


It is truly sad that I am 10x more excited for a Star Wars movie than I am for a Star Trek movie. Maybe this was JJ's plan all along.
Well, the Star Wars film was lovingly made by people who have a deep and abiding love for Star Wars and truly want this film to be worth the wait and live up to the previous best the series had to offer, and the Star Trek film was not.

Both things are painfully obvious.

Very true. :lol :(

And don't search for the job you want. Just type in your "area" and search with the job title left blank.

it will give you ALL the most recent jobs - some are merely minutes old.

Everyone will be searching for the job they want so all those jobs go immediately.

I've looked into a UPS many times, but I always end up not getting one, whether it's because of the price, or the hassle of resetting them when the power does go out, I dunno. My current PC setup is probably about $3000 of equipment just for the bare basics, so I'll have to get one eventually. At least I do back everything up constantly, which is my main concern. Equipment can be replaced, but my work/data can't.

Two more days until (almost) a 3-week vacation.  Things are a little to busy at work for me to completely take time off between now and the end of the year, so I'm just gonna work 'part-time' for the next 2 weeks - get up early, work for a few hours, check email a couple time throughout the day, and address urgent situations.  This is the two week period the kids are home for Christmas break, so we'll hang out and do shit together.  Then, when they go back to school the 1st week of Jan, I'm taking that week off totally, and doing the square root of fuck-all.

People in my screening were generally fine. Obviously some applause at the STAR WARS logo and the appropriate laughs and gasps.

BUT :emo:

There were a couple of guys who were blatantly just there to piss people off. They were shouting at everything. Making noises in the quiet bits and glass was heard breaking.

At one point the film paused and everyone went " uh oh " and we heard a voice

" Sorry for the disruption - we're just going to eject these people from the premises " followed by cheers and applause :lol

Through all of the recent emotional breakdowns, she is the only thing keeping me sane and sober (for the most part). I have to suck it up, be a man, and be somewhat responsible, for her. I give her the attention she needs more than anyone, including her mother, so for me to be irresponsible would be self-indulgent and disgraceful. So yes, every penny I spend is worth that big smile, and to hear her in her developing language say "aw, how cute."

It's primarily big-ticket items in the jingle household this season.  Both kids are getting iPads (it's kinda mandatory for jingle.son - it's as much a drawing tablet for him); got to pickup a new iPhone for mrs.jingle, and the appropriate accessories.  Once that's done, all is complete.  The joys of having a stay-at-home wife... she's a big planner, and takes care of everything.  She's upstairs wrapping the extended family gifts right this moment.

That's exactly my problem. It has to be perfect and neat and just so. If it's not, the paper is coming off and I'm starting over. Because of the unbearable stress, the alcohol involved winds up becoming too much that I'm putting scotch tape on everything else besides the paper, and then I'm out of tape. A free tip, just because they're both called Scotch doesn't mean they should be used at the same time.

Yup, Rocky Mountain high, baby.

So, in my spare time, I've been working through a video game on the hardest settings trying to acquire some ridiculously difficult achievements while simultaneously enforcing my own additional rules. It's my favorite game and I've completed it a number of times...but last night, I realized I was starting to be bored with playing.

But then, I finished one of the more difficult levels and the game popped up one of those achievement awards. I can't believe how much of a difference it's made in my attitude. I'm seriously considering putting on my headphones and going for more.

Sometimes, I'm such a little kid.  :lol

Geez, yeah those are perfect conditions for a fire to spread.
Tomorrow's going to be 33C, but then the rest of the week is supposed to be in the 20s with rain until the weekend, so that will be a nice change.

Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: King Postwhore on December 20, 2015, 05:59:24 AM
No. They called it the boiler but it's the furnace.  It is 23 years old.  So many leaks and rusted spots. It's been on the verge of over heating. The cost of repairs is 2/3rd of a new one.  So I might as well update. I need to thiknow about a water heater instead.   Waiting on a few quotes right now.

Ah... ok.  I had to replace ours a few years back.  It died the week right before Christmas, on a Friday morning.  Mrs.jingle was doing the annual Christmas baking, so we didn't even notice it until the end of the day, when it was too late to get anything done about it. Fortunately, my neighbour is a GC (and had done work for us), so he was able to hook us up with a guy that had one in stock, and a buddy to install it.  All was good (except for my wallet) by Saturday evening.  Didn't set me back as much as yours is going to though.

What's not to understand?  This is the "Kinginese" thread after all.  Allow me to break this down:

He's been to SoCal
Told the city "F-U" because they've got great weather, scenery, ecology etc...
I re-autocorrected "in turn" to be "u-turn".

So... in summary, Kinginese-English translation provides us with "I've been to San Diego; tell them "Fuck You", and do a u-turn,  back to Boston".

I only needed to read it once.  Gregg, you don't spend enough time practicing your Kinginese.

Tell me about it. My family is easy. We're small. Including the non-blood relatives and my grandmother's 24/7 nurse, we never exceed 14 people. Victoria's family on the other hand, ugh. She has 32 first cousins (all blood) and more aunts and uncles than I can count. Christmas at their house easily exceeds 60 people, and deep down, I truly believe most of them don't want to be there. It's a headache and way too much stress. It costs a small fortune and is the epitome of American selfishness and consumerism. I actually get uncomfortable when I have to sit there and look around at how wasteful the entire day really is. I'm beyond thrilled to not have to deal with any of it this year. I got my dad and gift card to guitar center and my mom has six pre-paid appointments at her favorite nail salon. My sister and I don't exchange. I'm very content with how the holiday is being handled this year. Unfortunately, I don't think it's going to become a regular thing for us as her family doesn't seem too thrilled with our decision.

About 8 people show up and her mom makes a 20lb turkey with 5 side dishes, all of it gets thrown away because she doesn't believe in making less food (sorry I got off on a tangent here). An argument always breaks out and my gf and I just sit there waiting until it's appropriate enough to leave. This year my gf's sisters husband is there and there is a new baby in the mix. Her husband is a piece of shit who has a short fuse and a god complex. It's just a mess lol.

I hate when fights break out. We have Victoria's parents over for dinner every now and then, and without fail, her mom and dad will start bickering at some point. Every single time. Last time it was because there was sausage pizza in the same boz as meatball pizza. If I'm at your house, fine, I can't tell you how to converse, but if you're sitting in my dining room, I don't want to hear any of that crap. You don't know how badly I wish I could just say "get the fuck away from my table and take that bullshit outside". There is nothing more rude or irritating to me than people fighting while trying to enjoy a meal, especially when it's around someone else's table. Have some decency.

I think the longest I stayed up was around 40 hours. I parked myself with two of my friends outside of a target for a ps3. I was going to buy it and resell it on ebay.

Day one was fine and the night was ok, played some cards with my buddies. Day two I was pretty tired but the night of day two was fucking terrible. It was freezing and raining. Some guy showed up and offered me $1000 to buy my spot in line and he would wait the rest of the day, I took the money and drove home (awful idea, it was probably worse than if I was driving drunk).

I surprisingly had a hard time falling asleep when I got home but was eventually able to.

Doing it in the younger days is a completely different beast. Shit, I remember so many nights of drinking straight through until morning and then driving to work. I can't do that anymore. Okay, I'm lying. I do it from time to time, except I'm not driving this time.

I think my max was about 39. Felt completely fine that time, I just fell asleep the instant I shut my eyes.
Another time when I stayed up 24 hours because I was typing up an assignment for my sister, I was hallucinating bugs on the keyboard. :lol

These days I'm a lightweight and start to feel terrible even at around 20 hours, so it's been a while since I've stayed up.

Well, it was a real struggle. They ended up prescribing sleeping aids and she had a hot line number she could call at any moment to talk her down when she was jonesing for it too much. She jumped back on it a few times but eventually kicked it.

As I recall, the biggest problem is that your sinuses swell shut when you don't use it, so you become a mouth breather for 4-5 days until the stuff get's out of your system. It's kind of torturous.

I don't believe it actually has an addicting narcotic in it, but if you're predisposed for getting hooked (she had an addictive personality) it can rule your life.

As always, a medical professional (I'm not one) is highly recommended.

Good evening peeps.

A coworker and good friend of mine just got bumped up as an area supervisor for another company which he's been working with for like 2 years... and right off the bat is offering me work. The company treats it's employees like royalty, it pays better than what I make now, and it's less stressful.

There are issues though. There is no full time work. It's mainly events. If I tried hard enough, I could make it fullish time, but it wouldn't be as stable as where I am now. The other issue is most of the work is in Santa Barbara. Currently I live 6 miles from work. 10 min drive through town. Santa Barbara is 50 miles, and it can take anywhere from an hour to 2.5 hours to get to / from.

I am going to start taking the odd job up in Santa Barbara (especially since he can throw a bit more cash my direction for certain things), and when anything pops up in my area, I am first on the list to snag it, at least event wise.

Post by: AcidLameLTE on December 23, 2015, 04:42:08 AM
For a year, I lived about 75 miles away from where I worked and I found that the commute really wore me down after a while (even though I was car sharing). It was probably about an hour/hour and fifteen minutes shorter than your commute as well. You find that the fuel costs rise like mad too. Now that I live about 2 miles away from work (I mostly walk or cycle), I find that my petrol costs per month are about half to a third of what I would spend per weeek when I was doing the 75 mile commute and that was with me driving 1-3 times a week.

For me, it wasn't worth it and I wouldn't do it again. Got to think about your quality of life as well as the money and all that jazz.

I just checked the Telstra site, and it's more expensive than what I'm paying for an off-net plan for a lot less bandwidth, and it's on a 24 month contract.

I just checked TPG and their offnet prices have come down a lot. Five or so years ago when I was with them I think I was paying $90 and had 200GB split between peak and offpeak. But now it's only $60 for that. The 500GB is more expensive than Telstra though.

Oh I was thinking it was still cheaper, but I must be getting confused with their regular plans. I should have figured if it was a better price, I'd be on that plan already. :lol
Sounds like you were on the same plan I'm on, but more expensive. That must have been early days, because it's not too long ago they didn't even offer off-net plans.

Good morning.

Internet is all relative.  I get capped at 100Mbit download (10Mbit upload), but only have 320GB/month total.  $60-ish CAD.

DT-side general chat got nuked earlier this year I believe.  It wasn't being used at all.  Harry... most of the old guard you remember is either gone, or avoids the DT side altogether.  It's a freakshow over there - though encouraging that DT still attracts new fans.  We wait until they graduate, and come over to GD.  I feel sorry for the mods that have to actually read that shit.  Every now and then I take a peek to remind myself why I don't go over there.  Never takes me more than a quick perusal of one thread to make a u-turn and get my ass outta there.  Same can be said for P/R.

GD and GMD is where it's at baby!

Hello to everyone who have said "Morning"...can't keep up with all these new posts!

jingle.boy - Ah okay! Thanks! I generally avoided 95% of the threads in the DT side that weren't that chat thread anyway!

But that's where all the old people talked!

Morning chaps, mates and chumps.
Afternoon (oh how I've missed this game)!

Hey, hows your face after that accident?
It's fine! It was the bloody surgery that I had a few weeks later that made my face swell up like a balloon :lol

The swelling has mostly gone down now, thankfully. You can still see it a little bit but unless you're looking for it, it's not obvious. My cheek bone is also in the correct place now which is a bonus.

But that's where all the old people talked!

Now all the old people talk here. The DT side chat thread was for noobs. You know, people who still listened to DT. :neverusethis:

And who does that, right? :neverusethis:

I haven't listened to any new DT stuff in a while but I also haven't listened to any new stuff from most bands in a while, to be honest. For the last few years, I've only really heard one or two new albums (new to me, at least) per year...I'm getting pretty lazy.

I went a few years without checking out much new music, but I've listened to a bit more lately. I still don't listen to much new music compared to a lot of people here though. Ain't nobody got time for that with my busy busy lifestyle.

That's the problem really. When I was a student and walked 45 minutes each way to work/university, I had plenty of time to listen to new music. Don't have that any more with a full time job etc. Joys of being an adult :(

Thanks. It was a pain in the ass to match the look of the original. Every panel has its own texture map, gloss map, and reflection map, and a global environment map. I had to hand paint all of the subtle worn off plating on the front.

The tarnish, is just the right color. It's so difficult to keep it from turning out red once you add lighting...at least it used to be for me. Of course, with modern programs you may be painting the texture directly to the model for all I know.  :lol

I don't know why it would turn out red. :lol But I find anything yellowy/goldy difficult, because that hue just shades weirdly. I'm still having some trouble stopping this from looking mustardy in the crevices. I've spent way too long on this one model, I'll probably never get this project done.

I actually never listened to any of his Xmas albums. I should add them to my Spotify playlist.

You know, I was just thinking.

It's been fantastic having my kids at a young age. I know it's not for everyone, but it has worked out extremely well for me. I can relate with them (easier than my folks did with me). I get to enjoy my grand-children while I'm still relatively young compared with my maternal grandfather who was 60 when I was born.

Still, I think it's caused me to age a little prematurely. I have some of those empty nest-feelings you see in your folks. You know, like, "Hey, it wouldn't hurt to call your ol' man once in a while." I don't actually say that, but I feel it sometimes.

No need, I didn't go overboard.  Christmas Day is low key in the jingle.household.  Gift opening in the morning, chilling and 'playing' with said gifts in the afternoon, jingle.mother-in-law over for dinner, and more chilling.  We watched some home videos of when jingle.kids were babies (it's always a good chuckle), and then some of shows we got as a family for Christmas gifts.

Big ticket item for the kids was they each got an iPad - iPad Pro for jingle.son so he has a drawing tablet too; iPad air for jingle.daughter with 64GB, because she loves her music and movies.  New iPhone 6 for mrs.jingle... so Apple did ok by me this Christmas.  Sony's gonna get some of my dough today - gonna go pickup a PS4, and more playing with our gifts.

Gonna watch Age of Ultron on blu-ray with the kidlets; havng for a few hours, then off to some friends tonight for a dinner party.  Nothing is in tomorrow's plan (since it's a holiday for us ... lieu day for Boxing Day).

The 'sleep in' was glorious.  The cat wailed at 6:30... she's all confused when no one is up, because jingle.kids are usually up for school on weekday, and I'm usually up early on weekends.  She's old, and virtually blind/deaf, so when she wails, it could wake the dead.

It's related to this. The last character that hasn't been revealed has a clock in the background. It just spiraled from there, I think.

Prime can be shared among families as well. So if you and the Queen both regularly order from Amazon or watch movies on Prime, etc. you can both get the benefits for the one annual fee. I think our annual membership was $75.00, but I wouldn't swear to it.

I never hear jokes about John Holmes 30.48 cm penis.

That's because it's 34cm

Mother Nature needs a hard, swift, cunt-punch.  I felt like I was shovelling cement.  There was more water than snow.  Helped out the neighbours, and man... the extra $$$ to get a THREE stage snow-thrower just paid for itself.

Jingle I propose a trade, I come up and shovel some snow and you can come down here and sweat your balls off because it's 32C here.

Careful what you offer.  This is the bottom of my driveway at the moment:

And it's not the light and fluffy shit.  That's mostly water, and that one 'boulder' in the middle is about waist high.

Still want to trade?

Chad,

It's good to hear that you value the 3-stage snow blower. I've got my eye on a Cub Cadet 3-stage because my Troy-built 2-stage is getting long in the tooth and I seem to be fighting it more than it helps me. I never liked the plastic chute anyway. Once the spring sales show up I'll get more serious about replacing it.

That's exactly the one I bought - 26in.  My Yard Machines that I'd had for about 12 years wasn't cutting it, so we bit the bullet and got the 3-stage.  Worth every penny as far as I'm concerned now.  I could see two of the neighbour's having trouble because their 2-stage blowers weren't doing much, and getting clogged because it was more slush than snow.  Mine cut thru it easily, and was still throwing it about 15 feet for the most part.

In German, Wednesday is actually the only day of the week to end on a different letter than all the other days, because every other day ends in "-tag", which means "day", but Wednesday is "Mittwoch", which translates to "middle of the week".

Chad stay home.  I'd rather punch myself in the nuts than see that movie.


Blob, when I fell asleep at the wheel and got into an accident that was the wake up call.  On average I was awake 47 minutes of the hour.  There are 4 stages of R.E.M sleep.  the 4th does all the repair for the brain.  You can wake right up or be in the 1st stage which you're awake but don't know it.

You stop breathing because your throat's walls touch.  The mechanism for the body is to snore and open up the passage to breath.  So it knocks you out of the early stages of R.E.M. sleep.  Without it you're tired, you can't focus and some don't breath at all which is very dangerous and leads to death.

You can be 150 and gain 5 pounds and it would affect you or 350 and go to 400.  It depends on the structure of your throat.  If you feel sluggish all the time then you might have to do the study.  Got to say though it is not fun. 200 wires gooped up to you with this big harness of wires.  They have you sleep in a room with a red light like your on red alert. It's for the night camera.

I've been meaning to get a sleep study done because I'm the poorest sleeper at night but then drift off at random times during the day, even when driving. Or I can sleep 10 hours at night, wake up, go sit on the couch and start passing out.  Something isn't right.

You can be 150 and gain 5 pounds and it would affect you or 350 and go to 400.  It depends on the structure of your throat.  If you feel sluggish all the time then you might have to do the study.  Got to say though it is not fun. 200 wires gooped up to you with this big harness of wires.  They have you sleep in a room with a red light like your on red alert. It's for the night camera.

I've been meaning to get a sleep study done because I'm the poorest sleeper at night but then drift off at random times during the day, even when driving. Or I can sleep 10 hours at night, wake up, go sit on the couch and start passing out.  Something isn't right. 

I'd be doing that sooner rather than later if you're drifting off while driving.

I waited too long already. It's why I'm currently going through the New Jersey court system. I was swerving between lanes, the cops saw me, arrested me, and so I'm still dealing with the drama surrounding that.

You have to find a spot that is comfortable.  I'm a stomach sleeper so as you can imagine, it was tough at first but you find a position that works.  If you do the study (John it sounds like exactly I went through so set up an appointment right away) they have different style masks that you try and do another sleepover making sure you have the right style of mask that works for you.

So the D-Box was cool.  Is it something I'd do all the time?  Nope. Certain films it works and this is one.  My issue is they have to rumble all the time on silly things. The battles scenes and the flight scene it totally enhances the scenes. 

It reminded me of the Star Tours at Disney in the movements.  Overall very cool but not something I'd do very much.  It cost the same as I-Max around here

Yes I can't wait for February to be over and it can start getting warmer.

I've decided not to get another mobile phone contract when this one is up and go

for a sim only plan which will save me about £20-30 a month.

Also I don't use the heating in Spring and Summer so not paying for gas will also save

about £20 a month. I can spend the dough on other things :)

I'm not getting rid of my phone entirely. Just not getting a contract. If you keep the same phone and just get a SIM - it's about £10 - £20 a month instead of £30 - £50.

Plus I don't use hot water to wash up and my shower is electric so I don't need heating for most of the year. :)

Victoria and I have gone back and forth about taking a cruise. I feel like I'd be bored after two days.

I couldn't think of a worse vacation than a cruise.

My aunt/uncle go on so many cruises. Last year they had a cruise booked right after they both went to the doctor to get tested for cancer, and put off the follow up tests until after the cruise, then came back and both had to deal with that, then to make themselves feel better they booked another two week cruise right after that. And they've just booked another 6 week cruise. There was another time where my aunt was looking for a job, but had already booked a 5 week cruise soon, which understandably did not work in her favour trying to get a job to have 5 weeks off immediately. :lol

Mrs. P and I went on a Viking River Cruise in October that started in Basel Switzerland and finished in Amsterdam. It was fantastic and as King said, it sometimes felt like a dream...still does. The very last word I would use to describe this cruise would be boring and if I did, it would be a lie. I needed a few days off just to recover from the cruise.

I know ocean cruises are different due to more water-time between stops. I don't really know you well Chino, but I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit. I find it difficult to believe that someone with your intelligence and imagination would be bored.

Just some thoughts.

" FORCE AWAKENS #1 MOVIE OF ALL TIME "

Yeah in the US only.  BoxOfficeMojo is one of my favourite websites - but they're so US-centric. You can get worldwide grosses but not much else. Bit frustrating really.

Generally - movies make 66% of their gross internationally so the US is not even the biggest market for any movie.

If a film makes 1% of it's gross in the US and is absolutely enormous internationally - it gets called a flop. :|

But you made 10x your budget back but you only care about the 1% you made back domestically ?!

Am I missing something ?

I have to go out to 191st St in the Bronx today. They sent some jackass to check the equipment last night. He said the circuit is good but didn't bring a spare CSU/DSU with him to replace what he claims is bad equipment. WTF! If you're told to go out to a site to check equipment, common sense dictates to bring a spare just in case. These guys have been here over ten years and know less than I do, and I haven't even been here two years yet. Secondly, I don't trust his readings from when he checked the circuit because the readings he gave don't seem optimal for the CSU/DSU to run, so I'm testing them again.  Anyway, I digress...

It really doesn't matter, especially if they didn't adjust for inflation. I'm not sure how it is now but back when Titanic was listed as the biggest grossing film of all time, some site adjusted that for inflation and it would up that Gone With The Wind was the highest grossing film ever. I'm sure that's not the case now, but it's still a meaningless statistic if not applied properly.

It IS the biggest global market.  The US gross is always bigger than any other country's gross.  Note that it is normally divided into two divisions: US and global. 

Even in your generalized example - if 66% of a movie's total gross is international, that means that 34% is from the US, while the other 66% is ALL THE OTHER COUNTRIES PUT TOGETHER.  With Hollywood movies, no other single country comes close to that number.

Also, boxofficemojo is a US site, talking about mostly US-produced films, the largest single market for which is the US.  It kind of makes sense for it to be US-centric, so I'm not even sure what the problem is.

Morning, folks.

I know what you mean, King. I have more work than I'd like (at the moment) but I guess that's what brings the money in?

I'm getting so tired of the rat-race... I'm going to double my efforts to prep for retirement. Mrs. P will be finished with school in a 1-1/2 years and eligible for retirement from her job in 2 years. If I can get the house paid off by then, I could work 20 hours a week at a golf course or something and be just dandy.

It's been a struggle of late.  I'm having such a hard time filling in spots and temps are not reliable.  It gets stressful sometimes when you don't even know if these dummies will even show up.  Talk about blowing an opportunity.

Morning, Prog!

King, if I told you that you could retire right now with a pension equal to 80% your salary, would you do it? Would you be concerned about being bored? If so, would you continue to work...sorta double dip, as they say? Or would you take a chance on a venture that you've always wanted to do but never had the time for...like start a microbrewery in your Ma's name?

Just mussing.

It's time for my yearly foray out of my thread to promote my radio show here.

www.wpapu.com

Over the next two Wednesdays I'll be doing 4 hour wrap-ups of 2015, and these year end shows are always some of the best.

Dates: Dec. 30 and Jan. 6.

Time: 4-8pm Central, 5-9pm Eastern, 10pm-2am UTC.

Hopefully see a few of you over the next two weeks. :)

Tonight's version of this starts in just under 2.5 hours. Looking forward to seeing you fine folks then.

Forgot about this here, but the 2nd half of this is tonight, and has already started! www.wpapu.com :D

" People keep commenting that the double bass part by lars was added to dvd only. But if thats true why did the crowd react so hard after that part? Also why didn't they fix kirks god awful solo if they were fixing lars drumming up for him? lol. "

That DVD is *clearly* overdubbed and fixed to within an inch of it's life. Metallica just don't play like that. :lol

I'm a huge kb + mouse fanboy, it's what I grew up with and only recently got into console gaming but The Witcher just feels so much better with a controller, I've never come across a game (racing games aside) that felt right on a controller except this one.

As for MGS, I'm playing that with kb + mouse. It defaults to a controller but I think it's much better with a kb.

Right after my last post in this thread, I noticed that I couldn't read Hef's response. I kept leaning closer and closer to the monitor but I couldn't make sense out of what he wrote. Then when I looked across the hall (out my office door), I realized that I really couldn't see anything. It was like all the light was entering my eyes but my brain just could make any detail out of the patterns.

The service manager came into my office and started talking to me. Almost instantly he realized something was wrong and took me to the hospital. By the time we got there my vision had returned and I felt fine. They did a shitload of tests (blood, urine, CT scan, etc.) and pronounced me healthy.

As near as any of us can figure, I had a complex Migraine! They gave me a prescription for Imitrex, a pat on the ass, and showed me the door.

I hate retinal / ocular migraines. Where it's like you have a crack right down the middle of your vision.

After a while you get a glowing zigzag or something in your field of vision that gets larger and larger and when it passes you completely - you start to return to normal.

But the sickness lasts a while :(

Last one I had was really minor and I knew what was happening so I just accepted it - waited for it to pass and stayed indoors and comfortable for a day or two.





:hug: Hope you feel better soon ! :) Also I hope that's all it was.

There was a day when I would have completely ignored it...in fact, I'm sure that if the Service Manager hadn't insisted (he called Mrs. P too) I probably would have waited it out. Still, I don't mind admitting it had me pretty wound up. Ever since my cancer episode I've been a bit more paranoid about aches and pains. I never used to see a doctor and now I get a physical and blood work done twice per year.

Oh well, I'm pretty pragmatic about it all. You don't get 54 years on this planet without a few bumps along the way.

There's no payroll department. Company is too tiny. They feed the hours into ADP and ADP takes care of it all. It's funny because they've been using ADP for a year and a half and issues just started cropping up. The owner of my company is even talking about giving them the boot and finding another company.

We used ADP for our cards. They have deadlines.   What they are going is illegal and your boss needs to push this issue.

He actually met with somone from ADP a week or so ago regarding these issues. He's pissed. These issues have been affecting a lot of people across the company. I believe him for the most part on this because the times that the pay has been delayed, his own salary payment doesnt go through.

So, I had an interesting day!

As near as any of us can figure, I had a complex Migraine! They gave me a prescription for Imitrex, a pat on the ass, and showed me the door.

I get what's called a Scintillating Scotoma a few times a year.  As best as I can describe it, it's like a fist sized distortion just in my direct visual path, but on the left side only.  It looks like the reflection of the moon off of a clear lake.  Over the course of about 30-40 minutes, it gradually continues to move left, until it's gone.  The first time it happened, back in 2007, I was freaked the hell out.  I was in a business review at work, and I couldn't see the words on the slide that I was looking directly at.  I had perfect vision for everything else, but whatever I was looking directly at, all I could see was this shimmering 'moon'.  No pain with these migraines luckily.  A few years back, I got about 3 of them in a 2 month period, so I went and saw my GP.  He instantly diagnosed it as this, and told me to go home.  Nothing to see here.

Ayup.  Had one happen once while I was driving.  It's kinda distracting, but I wouldn't call it dangerous.  I have clear vision in like 95% of my visual field, just a shiny object at whatever I look at.  When I was driving, it wasn't like I couldn't see the car ahead of me, I just couldn't read the license plate if I was looking directly at it.  I describe it to people by holding my left arm straight out, and making a fist.  That's this size of the distortion, and where it starts... then it just keeps moving left until it's completely gone.

It started out similar to this .gif, Chad.

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/01/Scintillating_scotoma.gif)

But grew until it encompassed (if slightly less sparkly) my entire field of view. Then a hole of clear vision started in the middle and grew out until I was returned to normal. Ya, but like you said; no pain or anything else just fucked up vision.

Strap me in boys... I'm goin over to the DT side.

It was thrashing my computer at first, but I dialed back the settings and it's been behaving so far, so hopefully I'll be good for exporting the final vid.
I'm not even using my 3D program for this video, so I'm a bit out of my depth. I've had to learn a lot the past week.

I was given the basic outline, but actually making enough to fill the fixed length of time for each scene without it being boring, and then transitions etc, is proving very difficult. After a week and a half, I'm not even half done. I have like 2 days left.

It's going to be a relaxing Sunday. Right now, I'm listening to Close to the Edge and my daughter is watching Battle of the Five Armies. She loves the beginning with Smaug. I already went through a pot of coffee, so I'm good for the day.

Did you do anything for the rest of the weekend?

Nothing much just practicing some coding in C#.

I have not been practicing anything lately.  I've been attempting to make my laptop solely a Kali Linux machine as opposed to the dual boot I have now. I just cant' seem to get away from the forums today.   :lol

Do you call it C Sharp or C hash ?

I guess music has nothing to do with it.

It's usually pronounced C sharp.

And why the fuck are these people still here? We were stuck babysitting my niece, and then her dad came to pick her up, then when they got in the car it started raining, so they decided to get out and wait it out. First of all, you have a huge fucking 4x4. Secondly, it's rain, not a hurricane. Thirdly, it stopped raining like 10 minutes ago. Fuck off and stop eating all of our food.

I don't think I'll be able to dust myself off after the decision I'm heavily leaning towards. I can't see myself being able to do this work, but quitting would be the most shameful thing I've voluntarily done, and just validate my feeling of being useless. And the fact I'm moping over something that anyone else would take in stride and just get on with makes me feel even more useless.

Sorry, still gonna mope a while.

You'll get through it. Mope a bit, but don't wallow for too long. I did for months and look where it got me. Nowhere. It just wound up being a waste of time.

It's a a charger, essentially if you don't ride your bike much it keeps a small amount of power running through the battery that keeps it from getting drained from lack of use.

Not really but I haven't been riding in the winter. When the spring comes, i'll obviously be riding pretty much every day.

But I'll get a new battery anyway. One day it was completely dead and I bumped it with no effort at all, went for a Long drive and it was fine.

Recently it's not been bumping at all even with some charge so I dunno. Maybe it's the plug.

Today, as I was leaving for school, I noticed that a considerable amount of ice had built up on my windshield. Unable to find my ice scraper and running late as it was. I decided that I would try to clear off the ice by using my windshield wipers. This was dumb idea number one. Dumb Idea number two was trying to do that while driving. It was all going pretty well until I ran into a road island that i couldn't see through the portion of my windshield that was cleared of ice. I'm okay, and my car is okay with the exception of the front driver's side tire simply exploding. Obviously this whole ordeal made me even more late and now in need of a new tire.

Moral(s) of the story: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. When it comes to cars, never be in a rush.

I have been so far behind on Doctor Who this season, but I having been on a tear this week.  Last night I finished episode 10, where apparently SPOILER ALERT Clara died

I think I only have the season's 2-part finale and the Christmas episode to go.

Oh man, you're in for a treat! Not to hype it, but the next episode is one of those all time great episodes (ok, that is totally hyping it :lol ). The finale is also excellent. Even the Christmas episode pulled it together beautifully at the end, and I was expecting to hate the episode from the trailer.

:lol Yeah, I'm right with you there. I expect by the end of next season he'll have done enough episodes to make it to the top for me. This season was really strong, aside from Sleep No More, which was apparently disliked enough that in the end of year Doctor Who survey from the BBC, it actually said "It’s certainly been interesting to know about your favourite moments, props and monsters as well as the things that you didn’t like so much (we took the message on ‘Sleep No More’!)." :lol

The thing is I don't even want more time at this point, I want to forget about it forever. The more I think about it, the less confident I am I can do it given more time. I feel like I couldn't do it how they want it given another month, and neither of us have another month for this. They have a hard deadline at some point, and I have other work to do, which would have been fine if I'd managed this work on time, but not if I have to spend more time on it.
But I also can't think of anything worse than having to say "hey I know today is the due date on this work I said I would do, but I give up because I actually suck and probably screwed you over because you thought I was capable of doing simple work". There's no way to word it that isn't essentially that, because that's what it is. I'll never be able to do work for them again.

I don't know. While driving from home to the office I thought of some stupid, smart-assed response to your dilemma (that probably would only be funny to me) but, now I sense that you're truly struggling with it.

The best I can think of is to be honest and say something like.

I really thought this project would be a good fit and I took it on in good faith and with the best of intentions. It turns out that you'd be better off with a different artist so I'm withdrawing my services. I realize that this will put you in a bad situation at this late hour and I apologize for that.

Sorry, Blob, I wish I had something better but this is probably the way I'd do it.

No, that's pretty good stuff. Thanks. I'll probably use some of that.
The worst part is that it will probably come out of nowhere for him, because they said they liked what they saw and gave some changes, but the changed needed amount to redoing the entire thing from scratch, and the thing is, I struggled because I was trying to stick exactly to what they wanted and still got it that wrong.
From their perspective it's going to look like-
"That's good, but fix these few things"
*waits until deadline to reply*
"I quit"

Which will probably look like an overreaction to minor criticism, but it was a matter of at that point realizing that the way I think and work isn't going to work with what they need.

Yes it was a couple of days ago, which was only a couple of days before the deadline, which is now. If I'd done the work correctly and in a timely fashion the first time, it wouldn't have been an issue, and the changes may not have been an issue either if I was someone more suitable for the work.

The more I think about it, the worse I feel for wanting to quit now, but the more I feel it's what I have to do.

Eh, they bare some of the responsibility in my mind and probably know this.

Things I think you should stress.

1) This is art.
2) Not every artist is suitable to the needs of their customer.
3) You've given it your best effort and after reviewing the necessary changes over the past few days you've determined it's not a good fit for both parties.
4) You feel bad that this is the case.

If you know another artist who would be suitable, offer to get in touch with them to see if they'd be willing to do the deed quickly. If not, their lack of planning isn't your crisis...or so it seems to me.

It's not really their fault. They can do this entirely on their own, and I think giving me a small part to do was a token gesture, and I've not only failed at it, but left it until their deadline to tell them I'm out. I feel I've handled this unprofessionally all around, mostly due to sucking hugely at dealing with people, and not wanting to admit yet again that I can't do something and letting people down constantly.

I feel that - even if the reply is really angry - at least they're not standing there screaming in your face. They're miles away and you're just reading it.

If you are really apologetic and take all the blame etc . . . I don't think they can be THAT angry. You might be surprised.


Besides - by the way you described it - there may have been a crossed wire or mis-communication when they were explaining what they wanted hence why they were unsatisfied.

If you were only doing your best based on what you thought they wanted...it's not that huge of a problem.

Looks like you're a day ahead of us, because it's supposed to be 24C the day after tomorrow for us. Supposed to bucket down some time late tomorrow and cool it off.
You got A/C? All we have is shitty cheap stand fans.

As a kid, you couldn't go on a drive without hearing them on the radio.  They had some big hits here in the States.  I saw them back up Chicago in the early 2000's.  They were great live as well.

They were big here.  Lonesome Loser was on the dial on 5 different stations at one time.  I remember clicking on the station and I couldn't get away from the some.  Kenny Rodgers was big at the time as well.  I think it was Cowards Of The County.  Am radio was king for a while then I found FM rock.

OK - interesting.  Us Aussies often don't realise how big some of these bands took off overseas - as a kid I was oblivious to the fact that bands like LRB, INXS and Midnight Oil had done well outside of Australia.   Most of the Aussie bands were just local but there were plenty of exceptions.

These days with Aussie metal/melodic rock , most of the bands here are much bigger in Europe than they are in their own country (Black Majesty, Lord, Teramaze, White Widdow etc...)

Yes, I originally left the "h" out, but unlike a certain other poster, I can proofread my own posts and correct them before anyone sees...except for Prog, of course. He's ready to pounce on the the slightest mistep misstep.

He's one of "those guys". :lol

Yes, I am. My OCD for certain things is ridiculously obnoxious. My boss, who you would think could type a professional email, has sent me many emails with no punctuation. So it becomes a grammatical Mad Libs to figure out what is supposed to go where. One time I was in such a pissy mood that I wrote him back, "accidentally" hitting "Reply All", and told him if he wants the work done right that he needs to type more clearly or I'll assume a nine year old hacked his email account and sent me the email.

So, yes, I'm not only a prog snob, I'm also a grammar snob.  :lol

I got myself a new mouse, G502 Logitech, so nice. My last mouse lasted for 5 year almost.

I hate the look of those gaming mouses, and extra buttons bug me.
I've stuck to the budget Microsoft mouse basically forever. They only last me a year or two before I wear out the scroll wheel and buttons, but I love the size and feel of them, and they're so cheap I don't mind replacing them so often.

All personal preference obviously. A mouse is all about comfort, and I know a lot of people like the extra buttons for gaming etc.

I've tried more expensive mouses, but it's always been a mistake for me. The bigger ones cripple my hand up very quickly, and the extra buttons always get in the way of how I hold the mouse.
A mouse is a mouse. It just needs to point and click.

As you may or may not know, I absolutely despise River Song with the burning hate of 1000 suns (as well as Christmas episodes), but I quite liked it, especially that last 1/3 once it reached her speech about the Doc. A really nice ending to her character arc that tied up some nagging loose ends.

If it matters, it's probably best to just watch the two part library episode (Silence in the Library / Forest of the Dead), because for River Song that episode takes place chronologically directly after the Christmas episode.

And I ate too many doughnuts. Which is apparently 2. 2 was too many.

And also the P/R section

I'm finally using my new 3Tb hard drive I got for Christmas. I had to get a new external enclosure to use it because my old one didn't support drives larger than 2Tb. I'm backing up everything to it now. I've only copied over about about 80Gb so far, that's just my documents, not even my work stuff.
I'll still use the old external backup too for extra protection, but I'll probably have to stop backing up movies and videos to that one so I have enough space.

For me it's not so much the 3D project files themselves that are so huge (average of maybe 20mb each, but that adds up too), it's mostly the image files for textures, renders, and videos. The textures are all layered PSD files that can be up to 100-200mb each, then the raw 3D renders are a few Mb's each x 10,000 for a few minutes of video, plus the final exported lossless video file which is over 1gb per minute. And this isn't even full HD. It's no wonder I needed a new drive to back it all up, but I still need it all to reuse assets in future projects and refer back to how I did certain things.

Looks like I'm blowing some cash soon.

It sucks when MB/CPU die, because depending on age, you often have to replace several parts at once that go together.

I knew it was coming but I have a new furnace at 6 grand to blow money on first.

That's a quality sleep-in right there.

I've already bought my Avantasia tickets, done the laundry and floors, and now time to take the dogs for a little walkie-poo.  Oh, and I played a couple more hours of Witcher when I got up this morning.  Fuck it's an amazing game.

I'm probably going to start Witcher 3 next week, Chad. Mrs. P's will be fully engrossed with her classes starting Monday and it's actually helpful for her to concentrate if she knows I'm entertained. I think it's weird, but it's not uncommon with women of our generation.

It's not supposed to be that dull, but it's very dirty and a bit darker. I matched it the best I could, but it will actually be slightly different for a very good reason.

I'm fine normally, it's usually only when I'm really tired or don't get enough sleep I get some weirdness. I went to the doctor years ago about this stuff, and nothing much ever came of it. I think it's all due to my general lack of fitness. I was feeling fine when I was keeping to a better schedule and going for regular walks, but because of the hot weather both have gone to crap recently.

Just spent a few hours remixing and remastering an old album because I wasn't happy with the production. Brickwalled and pumping everywhere.

Went through each track - backed off the compression on all the songs and remastered the whole album.

I've been meaning to do it for ages. I love the album but was never happy with how it sounded.

Hopefully now it'll sound a bit more dynamic.

I thought a macchiato was a small cup of foamed milk with a double poured down the center. Right?

I think the ratio of espresso to foamed milk is the difference.

Caffe Latte is 2/3 hot milk, 1/3 coffee with a layer of foamed milk on top
Latte Macchiato is more milk than espresso
Cappuccino is 1/3 hot milk, 1/3 espresso, 1/3 foamed milk
Caffe Macchiato is more espresso than milk

I might not have it exact, but I think I'm close enough

Starbucks ( when I worked there last year )...

Latte - All milk with a double shot. Milk is slightly foamy.

Macchiato - Double shot with foamed milk spooned on top.

Caramel macchiato - Vanilla at the bottom. foamy milk and then a double shot and caramel drizzle.

Cappuccino. Double shot and half milk / half foam.

Flat white - small mug - double shot - non foamed milk.

I know. Nobody in this thread did but fellow Baristas did all the time.

At home I use strong ground coffee in a french press cafetiere - then mug heated up in a plastic bottle - which I then shake :P

Brown sugar. Tastes delicious.

Macchiati will differ depending on what it's called. Caffe macchiato means "stained" or "marked" coffee, so there should be coffee "stained" with a bit of milk. Latte macchiato means "stained" or marked" milk, so it should be the opposite. I'm sure Starbucks changes it up a bit. Either way, the latte macchiato is good.   :lol

You're not supposed to serve the espresso after 10 seconds as it goes black and bitter. You're meant to put it in the drink immediately.

If they are serving drinks where the espresso is over 10 seconds old then it will be jet black and taste awful.

My Dad's been gone for 5 years.  I still think about him almost every day.

You just need to be in your normal routine with the other people in your life.  Eventually it gets better.

But don't try to suppress your feelings or run from them.  It's normal to miss your deceased loved one, and its important to cherish their memories, and cry when you think about them.  It's just alsonormal to eventually get back in the swing of things and go on.  And it WILL happen.

My nan is 85(ish) and it's a decent travel for her to visit, so every time she does I worry it might be the last. All you can do is make the most of your time with them, so that once they're gone you still have those memories.

Yup.  Think of the things she loved to do. For us as a family it was getting together.  I was my mom's favorite thing when we were all together as a family so we do our best to have dinner once in a while and do things as a family together.

I also made a promise when my mom was in the hospital to never have a cigar again.  She died of lung cancer and though I never was a cigarette smoker, I loved cigars.  Well, it's been 5 years since I've had one.  It's the least I could do for my mom.

I use a Cafetiere and milk in the microwave for 2 mins in a plastic jug with a lid so I can shake it to make it foamy.

It's so delicious.

I tried heating it in a saucepan and whisking it but the plastic jug / microwave method is quicker and tastes better.

Don't have to scrub milk off the pan either.

You're just jealous because I don't look at you the same way.   :-*

I think I'd be downright scared if you looked at me the same way. :lol

I'd be downright scared if you had the same hair as her and looked at me with those doe eyes.

Morning.

Is it just me that finds people acting all cutesy and sultry in pics really irritating ?

I don't find it irritating, I find it hilarious. I've often told Mrs. P that if I ever saw women standing around like the do in magazines I'd lose it. You know what? It's true, I did.

Copenhagen is full of beautiful people. Fashion forward, beautiful people. Fashion forward, beautiful people with a very high standard of living. Between the famous Nyhavn district and Tivoli is a shopping district with super upscale clothing stores and such. We were strolling through there one weekday morning about the time folks were going to their office jobs or department store jobs...I've never seen so much swishing, pursed lips, perfect hair, bored looks and dead eyes. And that's just the men. It was amazing and, once the shock of it wore off, funny. I sat on a bench and quietly laughed myself sore while Mrs. P stood off to the side and just watched with a tiny smile on her face.

In a certain shopping district in Copenhagen, that is real life walking. I've witnessed it.  :lol

Still cracks me up just thinking about it.

BTW, I find Danes to be wonderful and generous folks. Always willing to help out a stranger and unfailingly polite. Still, it's like they never smile. I was so impressed when I got a server at a beer garden to smile that I made Mrs. P take a picture of us.

We got an inch of snow last week and I was getting bundled up to go push the shovel around. It's not enough to bother with the thrower. Mrs. P said, "Hang on a second while I check the weather." She looked and her phone and told me not to bother since it was going to be above freezing for the next few days. It just wasn't worth bothering with.  :lol

You must have your monitor set WRONG then (uh oh, choassystem must be rubbing off on me). The defaults on most LCD monitors are complete garbage. They have a maximum brightness of 250-300cd, when you should only run them at half of that brightness at most. On a properly calibrated monitor, a white background should be perfectly comfortable to read, like paper.

Oh I know that, and I don't expect everyone to have their monitors set up to exact specs, it's just one of those things that bugs me that monitor defaults are so wonked that people complain about white backgrounds when the problem is them, without even realizing it.

My graphics monitor came out of the box set to 29% brightness, which corresponds to a brightness of 120cd, which is perfect. The calibration software doesn't even allow brighter than that unless you check a specific option, and I think my warranty only covers you if you don't run it too far beyond that. And that's at 29% brightness. I don't think I've seen anyone else running them at an equivalent brightness, because they're always set to look bright and saturated to impress the eye.

I know your brother has a decent monitor. Does he have it hardware calibrated to a particular brightness? I'd be interested to know what he has it set to for reference. Otherwise, you might be surprised by how dim the recommended setting is.

Same with mixing with headphones. Not too loud and not for too long a period at a time.


Apart from ear damage - it's good to get a rest when mixing to get a fresh perspective at a later date.

My monitor has a "paper" preset that is also very warm and much lower brightness. I don't like the look of it, and my monitor is already comfortable for reading.

I don't think there's any risk of ear damage if you're at a decent volume, especially in a quiet environment. It's the people cranking their earbuds to compete with a noisy train/bus that have to worry.
It's always good to take a rest just to come back with a fresh perspective though. It's too easy to get adjusted to a mix and not notice problems until you hear it later.

By that time I saw it, he had given it to someone else. I made a comment via text on how I would have loved to do it. Next thing you know, he has asking me left and right to fill in shit.

One of them being his shift tomorrow.

I dont wanna get up early...

nor do I wanna be there a full shift.

So instead of working 7a - 3p, I'm going to be there from 8a-1p. Because fuck the system. Plus I have a 12 hour shift I got bambuzzled into for Saturday. I cannot WAIT till I know whether or not I got this new job...

So... in league tonight (Bowling), I was bowling like shit (and have been since moving to this new alley). Above each set of lanes rests plaques with the names off all the people who bowled 300s on those particular sets of lanes.

As I am bowling like shit, I notice a gentleman's name on my lane. Both lanes. And on every set of lanes that I could see. Chad Lane. And Chad has a relative who has bowled really well too. Jon Lane.

I have never met either of them, but, FUCK THEM.

I primarily use Chrome these days purely for compatibility, but it has so many little things I dislike about it (along with things I do like). I loved the old version of Opera, but then they started from scratch based on Chromium (ie. it's basically just Chrome now), and the old version is now too old to support a lot of sites nicely. But it had so many great nerd features. I haven't used Firefox in forever, but the last time I tried it I know I hated it for whatever reasons.
And lol IE which I haven't used any version of in over a decade.

Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: Kotowboy on January 23, 2016, 09:50:50 AM
Where are you working now? I don't remember when you started working again after Starbucks.

I lost my job at Starbucks on March 30 2015. Told me Dad via email and he replied that I could move back to Wales and look for a new job. I moved back on April 3rd.

I got a job in the local cafe and live music venue on May 23 :)

I also got a new flat ( much better than my last place !!! ) on August 1st.

BUT HOLY CRAP. Moving out of my flat in Reading, England was über stressful. Holy shit.

I told my agents that i'd been sacked and they really did not help in any way at all. They said that I needed to still give two months notice and pay the rent for the two months.

I had to pay to get the flat professionally cleaned AND pay £300 "early leaving fee" EVEN THOUGH I WAS PAYING RENT FOR THE TWO MONTHS.

We tried to get out of it but after so many confusing emails back and forth we just decided to pay what they were asking to get it over with... :(

We couldn't get to the bottom of

 Why I had to pay £300 to get out of the contract early if I ALSO had to pay the remaining two months rent.
   i.) that's not early release
   ii.) If i'm paying an "early release fee" - why am I ALSO paying the final two months ?

Finally I "had to" pay for a professional cleaning service to make the flat ready for the next tenant. Even though it was a studio flat ( one room and an ensuite cubicle )

and I spent like a week scrubbing it spotless from top to bottom - it wasn't good enough and still had to pay. They had to be in cahoots.

But yeah it was a fuck load of stress just to move house and I don't want that amount of stress again for a while....


New job is great though and it's really quiet at the moment being winter and i'm enjoying it as summer is FULL ON :p.

But Now I live 6 miles from the beach and I took a basic road test for a 125cc motorbike which I drive around when it's warm :)

My Dad And I read the contract for my new place and they have a 1 month notice for checking out. Also i don't have to pay £75 every time I renew my lease.

I'd love an itemised bill as to why they need(ed) £75 for me to just carry on what i'm already doing ::)

It's like all they do is provide you with a space. Then you have to pay for everything. No wonder they all wore suits and had nice cars ::)

It's also like - every time I had some problem with something they might get around to it at some point.

But if you're a day late with your rent they're on that phone IMMEDIATELY.


EDIT : In return though - I was not allowed to be living there on welfare but I did anyway and just didn't tell them. My "job" involved me working from home a lot or helping with my brother's

media business ( which I legitimately did - but as a hobby and never expected to get paid. I just liked to tag along ) and that was my real job even though I was unemployed :lol )...

Is that possible? They charge more for seeing movies in 3D so they have to be making money somewhere with the tickets.

They did pay back my deposit pretty promptly though :) they off hand mentioned in one email they could take the £300 early release fee from my deposit and pay us back the rest.

I screencapped that email about 5 times and saved it in 5 different places :lol . No way was I gonna let that get forgotten.

Sure enough - when they demanded the £300 I "reminded" them of their suggestion that they just take it from the deposit and they did so.

The remaining deposit went towards my new place :)


Also : see my Edit above :) :)

At least they honored that.  Some places would probably find every excuse to avoid it.

[ ] Yes
[ ] No

So maybe they use that as a back door for such things :p to help out tenants.

Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: Onno on January 24, 2016, 05:09:10 AM
Well, to be honest it's not really my cup of tea, and it sounds more fun than it is. It's basically classical mechanics and a tiny bit of thermodynamics without most of the theoretical explanations or proofs and with more experiments which are used as examples. The physics bachelor degree here in Göttingen is sort of split up into the experimental and theoretical physics which are each taught in seperated subjects.

I'm actually doing a bachelor degree in Mathematics, so the experimental part of it is pretty boring to me. But I'm just doing this stuff for my minor. Moreover, next semester there will be a theoretical course in mechanics as well, but I'm not sure if I want to do that since I find mechanics pretty boring in general  :lol It might be useful, however, so I'll just enroll for a few possible courses next semester and see which one I like best.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: BlobVanDam on January 24, 2016, 05:14:53 AM
Aw. I always found physics interesting and useful, although I never did well at it because I was lazy at in high school (shocker). Maths is even more useful though, depending on what area. I just enjoy anything that applies to the real world in a practical way.
What do you plan to do afterwards with that stuff?
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: Onno on January 24, 2016, 05:54:04 AM
To be honest, I don't really know for sure yet. I already have a bachelor degree in Earth Science (geology and geophysics) but found out while writing my bachelor thesis that I liked physics and maths way more. Since a second bachelor degree in Holland is very expensive, I decided I'd move to Germany since it's pretty cheap there, I like the country and I already spoke a bit of German. Most of the stuff I did in my previous bachelor degree is not really useful for the stuff I do now, but I've learned a lot about what I want to do, about social stuff and studying in general.

So the only thing I know right know is that I'd like to work at a university. I love the combination of research and teaching. Therefore, I at least want to do a PhD in something maths/physics related after I finish my masters... but that's still a long way away, since I started my bachelor in maths last October.

Maths is even more useful though, depending on what area. I just enjoy anything that applies to the real world in a practical way.

For me, it's almost the exact opposite  :lol I don't really care if the stuff I do is or will be applied in some way or not. I just enjoy doing all of the maths stuff, it makes me happy (and of course frustated at times when I don't get it). It's almost like puzzles for me.

Of course, most of the maths, even the most abstract stuff, is useful because it may be applied sometime in the future even though we don't have a use for it yet. I once read a quote, I don't know by whom, from a mathematician who was asked by a politican about why he thought his research should be funded. His answer: 'Someday in the future, the stuff I do now will be applied to something for which you can make the people pay taxes'.  :lol

I like practical maths because I use it a lot in 3D/programming for calculating coordinates and forces / vectors etc, or just for writing code in general. I use trig so often. Obviously that's baby shit compared to what you're doing. :lol
I still find all maths interesting though. Numberphile is one of my favourite channels on Youtube. Again, easy as shit stuff compared to what you're doing, but they show a lot of maths that exists just for the curiosity and pattern of it, some of which does end up having practical applications in strange ways.

I don't think I ever listened to the 1st in full. I'm going to check it out now if it's on Spotify. Generally when I'm at work and relaxing, it's always Mozart. I'll change it up today. And it's on now...

Maybe because Irish = guinness = pub & stupid hats.

St. George's Day just means waving a St. George Flag around for one day coz u fackin lav ya cantry ya kant.

How far are you moving?

5 mins away  ;D  But totally different style of house/facilities and moving a truckload of stuff from a big 5 bedroom house / third of an acre into a much smaller one on a smallish block .  So plenty of planning to do outside of the norm.

I'm really not fussed about Australia Day either.  I am a bit more patriotic than you I think , but our country has lost a lot of the identity that it had when I was growing up , so I'm not fussed these days.  And I can also see that it does more harm than good in terms of the "traditional owners" ,so I wouldn't care if it was dropped.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: BlobVanDam on January 25, 2016, 06:00:11 PM
Well I don't think it would be possible to be less patriotic than I am. :lol I find Australia's "identity" embarrassing anyway, and think a lot of it is forced these days in an attempt to maintain a unique cultural identity. But I think we're basically just the bastard lovechild of the UK and US with a few quirks these days, and I'm plenty ok with that.

I'll try to keep this as short as possible.

We have two hotels and one home on a large property block. My boss (the owner) is a real penny pincher so she wanted wifi for the whole hotel but didn't want to pay for the business internet access. So we ordered the top tier internet service at the house. I grabbed a few 5ghz UBNT routers, set up PtP network connections with the may access point. Then I grabbed a few 2.4ghz routers and set them as access points for hotel guests to log into.

What I did today was just move the routers around so I had better line of sight.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: Prog Snob on January 25, 2016, 09:15:49 PM
You should also get a wifi network scanning program like NetStumbler or InSSIDer to scan for nearby wireless signals. They'll tell you what channel the nearby wireless signals are using so too many devices aren't taking up the bandwidth.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: ReaperKK on January 25, 2016, 09:31:59 PM
I used to use netstumbler but the beauty of ubnt routers is they have a built in scanner. I can log in and scan the area to see how busy each channel is.

Man I just had a flash back to 11 years ago when I would do wardriving with my buddy and netstumbler was the program of choice .
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese

Yes, King was right. I took the test FOR the job. I feel confident that I passed.

Also, my shift turned interesting today. It involved saving a family who were stuck in a broken down elevator, a dude stealing beer, and a couple screwing in public. I actually started a thread on it. Hahaha

I'm not saying that at all. I've never really listened to him, but he's up there with Bowie as far as musical ingenuity. I would love to see a Sting and Gabriel tour. I'm a big fan of Peter's.

:coolio Thanks !! As I said - filthy songs are more fun to record - but a lot harder to mix.

You want to add some fuzz to the bass - but you also want the twang so you get definition.

I like punch and dirt and fuzz but I also like clarity and definition.

It's a balancing act.

Making songs with clean guitars is so much easier. I've also found out how to make MIDI bass sound like a real bass - and that cleans up really nicely too. 

You can't use MIDI bass for heavy tracks - the low end and the punch just isn't there.

It's seriously the worst. Every morning when my alarm goes off, it's just a little more disheartening than the day before. I get nothing out of my time here. There's not a single element of this job I look forward to other than the ability to survive consumerism.

I enjoy heading out into the field for the day. I do what I have to do and the rest of the day is mine, unless they call me with another problem. It would be really hard for me to complain about the amount of places to check out while in Manhattan. Once in a while I don't mind staying in the office, just to change it up a bit, but I think I would kill my boss if that happened on a daily basis. He gets on my nerves sometimes.

Still working on it. Progress has been coming along. I'm about 50% there in terms of being able to bring product to market. I need about $1000 worth of additional items to get everything up and running to full capacity. Every time I'm looking good, the dog winds up with a $300 vet bill, my car needs $500 worth of crap done to it, or the house needs some expensive love. I also just put a good amount of money into the stock market a few weeks ago too. I could have used that I guess.

I'd like to have everything going by the end of February, but that deadline is starting to not look realistic. I'm very big on not buying stuff with credit. I got my first credit card when I bought my house, and I only use it for emergency/unexpected costs that I'd rather not take a chunk out of my savings for. However, for the sake of getting my little project done and actually producing something I can sell, I'm seriously debating just putting a grand's worth of equipment on my Amex card.

Nope, not yet. They want them finished by the middle of Feb (which is when the program goes through QA or something), but the final release is in March.

Hopefully some time next week I'll be doing a Skype conference with them to help sort out some of these final ones, but there's a lot left to do, and it's hard to get anything done in this shitty Summer weather.

My friend got me some work with his company redoing the icons for their main piece of software. It's some kind of mining program, and these icons are all ancient and just slapped together by whatever random person was adding the feature, and they all look like they're from 1995. So I'm redoing about 800 icons in total, both to look better / more consistent, and also to accommodate higher resolutions for modern screens.

Hopefully some time next week I'll be doing a Skype conference with them to help sort out some of these final ones, but there's a lot left to do, and it's hard to get anything done in this shitty Summer weather.

Icons for what?

My friend got me some work with his company redoing the icons for their main piece of software. It's some kind of mining program, and these icons are all ancient and just slapped together by whatever random person was adding the feature, and they all look like they're from 1995. So I'm redoing about 800 icons in total, both to look better / more consistent, and also to accommodate higher resolutions for modern screens.

Very cool.

So DT is playing in CT on 4/20. I'd typically go to the concert right from work, but my girlfriend is going to be in Ireland and I need to tend to our dog. I'm thinking of taking a PTO day. I'm worried my boss/bosses might think I'm taking the day off just to get stoned all day. I mean, granted, that's probably what I'll do, but it's not why I'll be taking the day off.

Well, yeah, it's a bit cheesy, but I thought it was less cheesy and better worked out than the story of SFAM.

It's so much fresher than DT12, or, for that matter, ADTOE, I agree. I've said it before, but I pretty much dislike DT12 apart from IT and I think ADTOE is decent but has a few things I don't really care for, so TA basically restored my confidence in DT I think :)

It all depends on the amount of cheese.

And maybe I'll think about it differently tomorrow, but right now, it's a bit much. Especially the "we see each other for the first time and we're madly in love and we know that we are destined to be together, whatever happens" - I don't think that I've EVER liked that in a story.

  • should it be expected to have more ballads since it was meant to be musical?
  • also wondering about "the third arrives..." connection
  • was expecting more TOT like tracks on some songs, this very SDOIT with SFAM TSCO
  • what governing body will award them for this astonishing album? will they get grammy for this? broadway awards?
  • i also wonder what song is very similar to Our New World

I would have never bought it, but I my dad got one from his job for free, and then switched because he didn't like it, so I got it for free from him - not really in a place to complain, therefore.

Does anyone have Java installed on their computer? This site requires Java to download these images all at once, and when I tried installing Java it didn't work, so I'm not sure if it's just me (and I promptly deleted it because I don't want Java on my computer)

This sucks. I'm supposed to work from 9 A.M. to 2 P.M. today. It's 5:38 A.M. right now. I need to leave at 7. So:

A) Try and get an hour of sleep and see if that gives me a little rest.

B) Drink coffee, coffee, COFFEE!

C) Or just fact the fact that I am fucked

or D) It's my mom's business and she said she's closing today. So. There ya go.

Our record store is great for getting stuff in on time (and we have two of them really close to us), so I never pre-order stuff. I'd be pissed if I pre-ordered and it arrived days late. To me the whole point of pre-ordering should be to secure a copy of something when it's released.

Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: Kotowboy on January 31, 2016, 08:47:56 AM
It's a good idea..

If you're going to listen to the album online - may as well it make it legally available. That way DT still get *something* for the plays.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: BlobVanDam on January 31, 2016, 08:52:29 AM
Yeah. And neither one is quite a substitute for purchasing the album, so I doubt it's stopping many people who would legally purchase it anyway. Sure Spotify and Youtube don't pay huge money, but it's better than not getting money from it at all and people resorting to other means.

I can't. I tried writing it down and it definitely didn't help me.

I hate talking to Doctors too. I can't get past the whole " woe is me - i'm depressed " - and how utterly self absorbed that sounds.

If anything - seeing it written down was like a confirmation.

I hate talking to Doctors too. I can't get past the whole " woe is me - i'm depressed " - and how utterly self absorbed that sounds.



I'm all for talking to people. Talking to people does help, and it's helped me. A journal? Unless the journal can talk to me, I don't see the point. Communication is key. I don't want to take anger management. I just want communication. I'm all for seeing a psychiatrist, as I really have no one else to talk to about my problems. I'm a mess. I dwell, I bottle it up, I'm an asshole. It's probably too late for me, but my girlfriend doesn't want to communicate. I'm just the crazy hothead.

Example:

This morning she and her daughter came in the room with science project stuff, looking fully like they were going to work on it in our bedroom. I expressed how much I didn't want them to do it in there, rude or not, I made it clear. I suggested they do it at the table to which she said she didn't want to, all the while opening the blinds still looking like they were going to work on it in the room. She kept leading me on with my assumption until I blew up, and never once did she tell me they weren't going to do it in the room. She doesn't feel she has to explain anything to me. No matter what I did to piss her off yesterday which she was still mad at me for (she looked to be over it last night) she used that as an excuse to justify not just saying "hey calm down, we aren't doing it in here."

I have an anger problem. I need help. I need her help. I don't expect her to walk on eggshells. That isn't fair, and she shouldn't have to, but why can't she just talk to me, and inform me before I rage? I don't like the person I am. I want to change but I can't on my own. It's the little things that set me off. I don't always just jump to conclusions, or assume, it's the little things that never change. She refuses to change or help me in any way. She says it's not her responsibility. What kind of relationship is that? She says she loves me. That isn't love to me. Again, I'm an asshole. I've said horrible things, but I've tried to change. I don't want to be an asshole. I'm not placing ALL the blame on her. I'm plenty to blame, but she just doesn't want to compromise in any way, and I'm just the psycho the doesn't listen, and everything is in my head, and I make myself this way. She tells me she's depressed because of the way I act, and that makes her not want to do anything, but it's because she wont do anything that pisses me off the most.

I'm not even going to get into how horrible me daughter has been. That's greatly effecting me in a negative way.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: Prog Snob on January 31, 2016, 12:09:50 PM
I think all of you should talk to someone. Your daughter could just be feeding off you and your girlfriend. Maybe if nobody else wants to talk to someone, then you can start first. Explain what's going on. Something tells me the therapist will inevitably ask your girlfriend and/or your daughter to come in for a session.

We're in the age of the keyboard warrior.

I was watching a panel show on youtube. ( QI if anyone knows it ). And one of the 4 guests happened to be an impressionist. So of course - inevitably they did an impression at one point with no

prompting, like al impressionists on any tv show feel compelled to do. I commented ( my mistake I know ) that impressionists cannot go on tv to be interviewed or on a game show or anything

*without* doing an impression.

Got a fuck ton of abuse from keyboard warriors calling me sexist because the impressionist in question happened to be female :rollin.

*makes a comment about impressionists*

*gets called sexist*

:rollin.

I just Googled CisGender. What the actual fuck? Maybe I'm just ignorant, but I don't get all this gender stuff. So much unnecessary crap and wasted resources.

I'm sure not identifying with what you have between your legs is difficult, but some of the stuff I see is just ridiculous. I read something a while back about a girl that made herself look like a dude. She wrote this crazy long sob story about how she can't legally use the guys' bathroom, but when she goes in the girls' bathroom, she gets all kinds of looks. Finding a place to go to the bathroom was hard for her. If she couldn't find a single stall unisex bathroom, she couldn't go. Please. Just go in the guys' bathroom. As long as you don't approach a guy and say "Hey, I'm actually a girl" or try to use the urninal in reverse, no one is ever going to know the difference.

I went to a Starbucks on the way to DC a few weeks ago (not for the coffee, I had to piss). I was initially confused because there were no male or female bathrooms. Just generic bathrooms. I didn't really have a problem with that initially. The first bathroom door's latch was set to occupied, the other wasn't. I walked up, put my ear near the door, and knocked. I waited a second and no one said anything. I open the door and there's a little girl, maybe four or five years old, just sitting on the toilet. I closed the door immediately and left the building. Luckily there wasn't a dad or something in there with her. I've opened the door a little boys going to the bathroom (that sounds so terribly wrong) before when they don't respond to a knock, and didn't think a whole lot of it. I was actually afraid after opening the door on the girl.

That was my reaction.  And I discussed it in a thread here (I guess in the P/R section).

Cisgender is apparently a term made up for "normal" people so that other-gendered people don't feel non-normal.  That's the most I can get from it.

Maybe coming from a straight male what I'm about to say will come off as dickish, but what's so hard about acknowledging you have a defect? We have, genetically, two sexes for a species. With these sexes come behavioral traits. This is fact and can be observed literally anywhere in nature. Sometimes, through unexpected genetic anomalies, those traits don't express themselves as they were intended. It's not a bad thing or a thing to be ashamed of. It's just life and biology.

It's more about a very small group of people wanting attention and everyone having to change the way they act around them for fear of getting called anti-whatever.


And Heterosexual just says " i'm straight ".

CisGendered means " i was born this gender and at some point I havent felt the need to undergo surgery to change that ".

Haha, as I said, I actually agree with you and am merely playing devil's advocate.

However I also think that this is all a question of context. It's very hard for me to answer your hypothetical question because it seems absurd. But if in the future a sizeable group of people follows this lifestyle, we might well have to coin a new term. After all, the term "heterosexual" only came into use in 1868 as an opposite for "homosexual" (so says Wikipedia).

There is already a term for "cisgender".  It is "normal."

It's OK not to be normal.  That's what tolerance and acceptance are for.  But that doesn't mean we have to come up with a new word for "normal" to make the non-normal feel better.

I can see why people would be uncomfortable with the word normal. Being told you're not normal, while not always the case, probably makes most people's brains default to 'defective' or 'flawed'. I don't see it that way, just playing devils advocate. Normal in this context, to me, is nothing more than what would or would not have worked 10,000 years ago from genetic survival standpoint.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: XJDenton on February 01, 2016, 12:11:45 PM
Cis-and trans are latin prefixes meaning "this side" and "the other side" respectively and are used in the context in many other places (for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cis%E2%80%93trans_isomerism). Hence there is nothing wrong with the term cis-gender given the word trans-gender exists. I do agree on the fact that normal (used in the statistical sense) does convey the same idea, but similarly I acknowledge that for some people, especially those of a underprivileged group, might find that the word "normal" is a bit exclusionary given that it implies that others that do not fit that description are "abnormal", which can certainly be used disparagingly or negatively. Hence it is perfectly understandable they wish to create a label that is more inclusionary and I see no problem with it.

I got rid of it from my feed without even watching it. I don't care when it's average stuff like "we discuss our favourite pencils and talk about our recent trip to the park". Don't care for the spoilercasts either. I don't care who it is, I just don't give a shit about other people's opinions of things. :lol

I really wanted an OLED but they've still got some problems with vignetting and frequent bad displays. The technology just isn't mastered yet...besides, for a 65 inch OLED, they want $5,000. This TV should hold me nicely until OLEDs are affordable.

Yeah, I was hoping they would have made more progress by now with OLED, but I think it got bogged down by patents for a while, as most new technologies seem to these days. We'd probably have Star Trek replicators and transporters by now if it weren't for patent law. :lol
The low yield is a real problem for matching LCD's price point right now, but that should improve with time hopefully. I hadn't heard about vignetting issues, which seems like an odd problem to me. I know there were also problems with the life of the colours (particularly blue), but I think those have been greatly improved now.

I just hate being stuck with such a weak technology like LCD when several better technologies have been created. I'm still fairly happy with my LCD though.

If I am remembering right, not long before Rina disappeared from the board, she made a trip out to see Adami, to be part of the album cover artwork for a project he was working on (it was a pretty cool album cover, FWIW).  She stopped posting a few days after she posted pics from that trip.  Volk stopped posting a couple months before that.

I recall a couple years ago heading to the can at a concert, following two chicks down the corridor who headed straight into the men's room like they owned the place, because they clearly were not going to wait in line at the ladies' room.  And they were probably a little intoxicated also.  Upon their arrival, everyone just kinda looked around like "WTF?" and went back to their business.

Why is your machine so loud? What do you have running inside it...besides a jet engine?

Yes. It's supposed to about 60F degrees today...15.5C for everyone else in the world.

There's CPU fan, GPU fan (which is small), a 140mm fan on top, 2x 120mm fans on the front, plus 2 HDDs. It adds up. On top of that, the CPU fan is pushed harder during the Summer months when it's hotter, and even further when I'm doing graphics work that works the CPU harder.
It isn't that loud, but it's enough to mask the sound of light to moderate rain outside.

I'm used to it, it's comforting. And my sound card has a relay in it when you switch pre-amps (ie. I switch from headphones to speakers, or turning the computer on/off), and it makes a loud double clickity clack noise from the card. It scared the crap out of me when I first got it, but apparently it's supposed to sound like that. :lol
At least my monitor doesn't make the high pitched 15khz CRT noise now.

It's been a weird year for weather.  No complaints though.

My latest build has (2) 120mm fans on the front, (2) on the bottom, (1) in the back, and (4) on the top for the CPU liquid cooler. Of course the video card has it's own fan as well. Because all of the new components are amazingly efficient, the fans never turn above their minimum rpms and the machine stays cool. It is, without a doubt, the quietest and coolest machine I've ever had in here. The last one would raise the ambient room temperature by 10 degrees in about 15 minutes. If I was gaming it would make the room unbearably hot.

Yep, my one definitely warms up the room. Fantastic in Winter, awful in Summer. :lol
My CPU is very efficient for what it is, but no fancy liquid cooling for me, just the stock Intel fan, which works fine. My case has an extra 120 (or is it 140?) fan on the back, but I've never had it plugged in for some reason, probably the noise. It also has room for another 120mm fan in the side, but I don't need one there. My GPU has a tiny fan on a heatsink, because it runs very efficiently, and I never push my graphics card at all (which may surprise people).
The main thing is that I'm constantly pushing my CPU with rendering. That will easily harness all four cores at 100% if I let it, which heats it up fast.

When I heard the CPU I was buying had 12 cores I reckoned I'd need liquid cooling just based on how hot the room was with my old quad core. Maybe the cooler is that efficient but I suspect the CPU just isn't as watt hungry as all that. One of the first things I did with this machine was render a 1080P, 8 minute animated slide show for my daughters wedding. It did the deed in less than 12 minutes while engaging every core at less than 40%. Not a flicker of heat came out of the top fans. It was amazing!

CPUs are designed to be able to safely run at 100% without blowing up, so 40% was probably nothing for it, even with all cores active. With each generation, CPU dies get smaller, more energy efficient, and run cooler.
I remember a couple of Summers ago when I had to render 3D video the entire night to get it done, and it was stinking hot, and the top of my computer case was too hot to even touch, and it was loud as hell from the sound of my CPU fan crying. And I had to leave it running like that overnight to get my work done on time. I did eventually compromise and set the renderer to only use half the cores, which meant half the speed, but at least it didn't melt.
My computers don't get happy retirements. They die horrible fiery deaths in the line of duty. :lol

Yeah they're stupid. I hate "joke" cards. Someone else's idea of what is funny. You didn't even make the card or invent the joke. you just bought it and signed it.

It's weird. People would prefer you bought something you didn't make rather than actually put effort into something home made because that would be "cheap"...

I appreciate the gesture when I get birthday and christmas cards but I rarely buy them myself.

I appreciate the thought, but then you almost feel obligated to keep it for a while, because someone bought it for you.  Then there's the fact that if you don't get cards for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Anniversaries, Birthdays, and God knows what else, you're in the f*cking doghouse for it.  I truly feel like they're one of the stupidest inventions ever.

The only time I could MAYBE see the use for it is in an instance where someone's sick or someone died, and a group of people sign it and send it all as one, but even then, the more thoughtful option is to make a phone call if you can't offer your thoughts in person.  And it's a brazillion dollar industry.  So ridiculous.

My bro and I like to send each other completely inappropriate cards for birthdays and christmas...

like..he's 32 this year and i'd send him a card for a 5 yr old girl :rollin

At least that's funnier than sending a card with a  joke in it which may not be to the other person's humour.

Don't even get me started on greeting cards. Stupid waste of time and resources. However, this year we got a lot of Christmas cards with pictures of the people who sent them. They were actually really cool and I found a bunch of websites to make custom ones. Those I'm alright with because they are really festive, they picture your friends happy, and they make for great decoration around the holiday. The stuff in Rite Aid and CVS is shit though.

This is the kind I'm talking about.

Guinness is a good beer. The problem is that you probably drank some really shitty beers in the past. There are so many out there that I can guarantee you'll find a few that you enjoy.

I've never been into fiction, always non fiction. Even in primary school, I'd borrow books about computers and programming, and they had to make a rule about borrowing at least 2 fiction books in whatever period of time (might have been half a year?). And I didn't have the internet, so I'd often sit at home reading through our encyclopedias for fun. I loved that shit.

Yeah that was impressive . But until I watched the special features I just assumed it was CGI.

You could so easily just have the actor on the floor with a green cloth over him to paint out later.

Seems *slightly* extraneous to make an entire animatronic head.

But cool :)

Doesn't look like it was necessary, given how much screen time it got, and that the CG'd a lot of the rest.

Great fight scene though. One of those guys did a pretty cool backbreaker.

I can't remember if they said it was all one long shot or they hid the edits but it's cool anywho.


- That was Nick Frost - from Shaun Of the Dead ( Ed ) and Hot Fuzz ( Danny ) .

It's pretty easy to hide edits in those whip pans. They did a similar thing in  a fight scene for The Kingsmen. Personally I find the style a bit nauseating to watch with the camera moving all over the place, but it's impressive.

I don't know Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz, but from the name I think he played Santa in Doctor Who.

Yeah. Paul was written by Pegg and Nick Frost as a "homage" to Spielberg.

But as soon as the devout Christian character arrives whose faith is shattered by the existence of an alien in the movie you go " oh it's one of these films ".


Run, FatBoy Run also stars Dylan Moran and was directed by David Sschwimmer.

I had what at the time were great headphones for me (Philips) and the cord broke. For some reason the cable got stiff (insert joke here) and from constant flexing it just snapped through entirely. I bought a 10ft regular stereo cable off eBay for a couple of bucks including shipping, chopped off one end and used it to replace the cable on my headphones. Good as new.

Over the ear vs ear buds is a preference thing.  With either, you can get a comfortable pair with great sound, or an uncomfortable pair with shitty sound for either.

I'm an ear bud kind of guy - even though there isn't much more annoying than shit-ass ones falling out on the slightest movement.  There's lots of different ways to get perfectly fitting ear buds.  I just got some custom molded earplugs, and am gonna try them out to make custom-fitted ear buds.

For in ears - i like the ones with the spongy ends which keep them in your ears and boost the low end.

I just use in ear OEM Samsung or the mid level Skull Candies (~$20). I tend to break / lose headphones too quickly for anything else. I do have some semi decent over ears that I use when played World of Warcraft (they have a semi decent mic on them). I'd love  some nice nice headphones for either application but I can't justify it.

I'm meeting my cousin after work. This is going to be the first time I've ever met her. We connected when I was doing my genealogy research. She was on Ancestry.com and we had similar people in our trees, so I messaged her. It wound up that we're cousins.

That's pretty awesome Prog!

I took a peak at ancestry once and they didn't have any information on me aside from the family I could find myself on facebook.

Sometimes you need to do a little more digging to find stuff. I stopped using Ancestry because there are plenty of other websites to find those same things and it's free elsewhere.

If i'm due to inherit billions because i'm in line to the throne somewhere in Europe then Yeah The Hell but that's not happening :lol

So I skipped out on bowling to work a shift that we couldn't fill.. 6 hour shift,  6-midnight. Not bad.  Right?


Well I came in to find there was an incident that happened an hour earlier...  My guys handled it nicely,  but because of who was involved (by involved,  I mean sticking there nose in it),  I'm going to have to spend a good chunk of the day following up with people and meeting with people regarding a crime that - almost- happened.  And then we had another incident in  which I got to do what I enjoy doing the most there...  Leading a team.  I love coordinating people in efforts to catch criminals.  Lol.  The order lasted 2 hours.. Gonna have to do a lot of following up in the AM on it as well.  Now I've got to try to fall asleep because I've got to be up and back there in 6.5 hours.  Fml.

I tried to download a 7mb song earlier, and after an hour and multiple attempts I gave up because it was going slower than dialup and kept fucking up.

Telstra has had the same problem since like September last year. It's gotten better but it's still problematic (it's mostly just occasional lag spikes now, every couple of minutes). Those fuckers haven't even bothered giving an ETA on when everything will be normal. So quit yer bitchin'. :P

That sucks. I'd expect Telstra to be on the ball for infrastructure. I expect this from TPG though, since they're leasing a lot of their lines from others (ie. Telstra :lol) and are cheaper because they skimp on backup and support. Which is fine 99% of the time, this unfortunately is the 1% though.
I was looking to see if it was worth switching ISPs, but Tesltra is too expensive, Optus tells me I can't get shit with them, iinet doesn't give any decent plans without bundling with phone crap that bloats the price. Most other ISPs just seem like crap to me and not worth trying.

The last time I checked iiNet the phone bundle just reduced the price, so that's pretty lame if you can't get any plans from them without it now. And yeah Telstra has the infrastructure, but they're lazy and don't give a shit. :lol

When the problem started for me I was doing traceroutes and found that all of my connections to the US were being routed through SEA and Europe instead of going through the Southern Cross cable as usual. It meant I could do simple web browsing without too much difficulty (it'd just take slightly longer to load pages) but downloads were a lot slower and streaming impossible. Is your traffic being routed through Europe or is it still going through the Southern Cross? It might explain why your situation is currently shittier than mine.

That sucks. I'd expect Telstra to be on the ball for infrastructure. I expect this from TPG though, since they're leasing a lot of their lines from others (ie. Telstra :lol) and are cheaper because they skimp on backup and support. Which is fine 99% of the time, this unfortunately is the 1% though.
I was looking to see if it was worth switching ISPs, but Tesltra is too expensive, Optus tells me I can't get shit with them, iinet doesn't let you get a plan without bundling with phone crap that bloats the price beyond usefulness and confuses me. Most other ISPs just seem like crap to me and not worth trying.
The last time I checked iiNet the phone bundle just reduced the price, so that's pretty lame if you can't get any plans from them without it now. And yeah Telstra has the infrastructure, but they're lazy and don't give a shit. :lol

I read about it but can't remember, and haven't checked it myself, but my experience sounds similar to yours. I can load pages mostly fine, although some take several seconds longer. I haven't been able to download a single file all day though, not even a 7mb MP3 file. Downloads go at literally dialup speeds, and just fizzle out after a few hundred KB's. I can't go a month without being able to download any files. It's 2016.

I was mistaken on iinet, I can do it without any phone stuff, but without the phone stuff, the prices are hugely beyond ridiculous. With the phone plans, the price is only slightly beyond ridiculous. :lol

Yeah, I had that for a few weeks. My ping was over 300ms before I even left the Telstra servers any time I traced a US-based server. Then I also had the lag spikes on top of that taking it up over 1000ms about twice per minute. It was completely fucked. Things got better once my traffic started to be routed through Europe, although even now I still can't stream video from US servers for shit. Even Spotify occasionally skips or has difficulty buffering.

Sounds like my Spotify experience at the best of times. :lol
I'm not fussy, I can do without good streaming video for a month, I just want internet that actually works, I don't mind if it's slower. I literally cannot download a single file at all right now.
My speedtest to the closest server is as fast as usual. My speedtest to a random server in NY gives me a ping of 294ms, download speed of 0.20 megabit/s. Server in the UK was 400ms, 0.02mb/s

I agree they lost something when they split, although I still felt Ascending to Infinity was almost as good as Chaos to Eternity, if not as good (both excellent). Rhapsody of Fire is lacking what made them unique from other power metal bands without Luca's distinctive guitar style, so both of their albums since have been generic and unmemorable. Luca Turilli got off to a very promising start, but Prometheus was scifi word salad over average pretentious power metal.
I think both sides needed each other to balance out.

I'm good thanks Pod, slightly overwhelmed with how much there is going on at the moment, but it's all good stuff so I can't (and won't!) complain. Work is busy, plus I got a promotion last month and I'm still trying to get my head around transitioning into the new role. And then I'm getting married in June, so there's all the planning and prep for that going on. And on top of that we're finally getting round to do stuff to the house that we bought over a year ago, so I'm having to learn, among other things, how to use a power drill and put up shelves/blinds/curtains.

Like I said, it's all positive stuff and I'm incredibly lucky to be in this position. Just not sure my brain can keep up with everything!

I still have some times like these, few and far between now, so I know what you are talking about...at least a little. Still, I'm happy that the majority of life's super-busy moments are behind me now. I'm rapidly becoming content with a slower life.

Well, I got married there, so there's that.

When we went last year, we pretty much just stayed on the resort.  Took a day-trip to the gardens where we were married, but didn't go into town at all.  17 years ago, we did a few tours and such... if that's where you're going, you have to do Dunn's River Falls.  Great excursion.

To add to the drama from yesterday (Leaky sink, mold, burglary in my garage and bicycle stolen), I found out this morning that the president of my bowling league passed away.

What a shitty day.

Not much. Watching Star Trek TNG and playing World of Warcraft. Enjoying the fact that I don't have to work early tomorrow.

That sounds pretty good to me. :blob:

I loved MOON and Source Code but i'm not excited about Warcraft. Never played the game. Don't like the look of the movie.

I'll see where I wind up today. This site is giving us a hard time and it's using extremely old technology which I told them to replace. They're using this antiquated multistation or media access unit (MAU) which always needs to be reset to clear the errors off the line. I was trying to find a photo for it but I couldn't find one.

New contracts that the government is trying to introduce. The government wants the health service to be more of a full 7-day service, rather than full service in the week with emergency cover and some additional cover at weekends, which is the case in many places at the moment. One thing it wants to do is change Saturdays to "normal" working days that get paid at normal rate, but then increase basic pay by 11% to mostly compensate. As far as I can tell, this is the only remaining sticking point in the discussions - the doctors union refuses to accept that Saturdays should be normal working days. Basically the union insists that a lot of junior doctors will get a pay cut overall, while the government insists that 99% will get paid the same or more on the new contracts. And because nobody seems to want to actually publish their analysis, it's hard to know who is accurate.

But really, when it comes down to it, it's all just bullshit politics.

I saved some idiot from getting nailed by a car. We were waiting on the corner for the light to change. It did. We had the right of way to walk. However, there was still a car straggling in the intersection at that same moment. The guy standing next to me started walking without looking. At that same moment the car floored it to get out of the intersection.  If I didn't grab the pedestrian he would have went right in front of the car.

Is this her first time partaking in such a venture?

Oh hell no. Mrs P. is a 28+ year career bureaucrat, and damned proud of it. She'll be fine, and the press will loose interest as soon as the council signs off on her. It should be a great administration to work for and they've got enough systemic problems that she can do the public some real good by helping them out. She's an expert on culture change and leadership building. Especially in government.

So, Blob.

I'm researching calibration recommendations online for my new TV. The first two articles I found claim to have the best settings based on hardware calibration in darkness. The recommended settings are completely different!  :lol

I think the out of box calibration looks fine to me.

BTW, the standard picture setting has a "feature" that slightly dims the output for EnergyStar reasons. It's like your cellphone going to half brightness to save battery. It's annoying as fuck. If any of you buy a Samsung, immediately switch it over to movie mode.

Yeah, most things seem to recommend calibration under standard lighting since the lighting affects how you perceive the picture in theory, although I personally calibrate my monitor in darkness (I use my computer in darkness more than light anyway :lol ).
I'm not sure what settings your TV has, but I'm not sure I'd consider anything that it does "calibration" as such anyway. And trust me, legitimate calibration would look horrible to most people, because most people are used to the flashy looking settings.

How are you trying to set it up?

Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: Podaar on February 11, 2016, 07:27:12 AM
I was just investigating the settings for the TV since a lot of tech reviews of the TV recommend "calibrating" your set and not accepting the default modes.

Basically the set has the ability to be adjusted by the owner with these parameters.

Backlight
Contrast
Brightness
Sharpness
Color
Tint
Dynamic contrast (off/on)
Black tone (off/on)
Flesh tone (1-10)
RGB Only Mode
Color Space (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Cyan, Magenta, all individually adjustable by amounts of R, B, G)
White Balance (adjustable offset from 0 in two levels of R, G, B)
A bunch of other settings for noise filtering, adjusting incoming signal, etc.

Yeah, software calibration like that is fairly subjective, and unless the settings come from the manufacturer, or have some objective backing to them, are maybe just someone else's idea of what looks best for that particular TV. Which isn't a bad thing in itself, but for a TV I think it's mostly personal preference of how you want to view things. Accurate calibration isn't that critical to the end user.
For my monitor, I do hardware calibration with a colorimeter, a little device which I attach to the monitor and it can measure the actual colour and brightness of the monitor. I tell the calibration software what settings I want (brightness, gamma, whitepoint, color space), and then leave it for a couple of minutes to adjust it for me, and I can't manually adjust any settings unless through calibrating it again.

Well since I couldn't find a photo of the equipment online, here it is. I had to bring it back to the office to check the configuration and such. It's so outdated that software isn't used to configure it, just some switches on the circuitry board. It looks like one of them was set wrong.

You can tell it's old even by the circuit board style and colour. On later boards in the 90s, they're usually a darker green with different looking tracks, and shinier. I've pulled apart enough things to know. :lol

I always love pulling apart old equipment. I used to keep everything I had in the way of technology, even if it was just pieces of it. :blob:  I know exactly what you're saying about the color and shine of it.

We actually have just one more of these that I dug out of the storeroom. Hopefully it works because I think the one installed now is done. I'll have to drag both with me out to the site. I fixed the one dipswitch setting so hopefully that stops the errors on the circuit. If not, then I have one more left to install. Otherwise, it's time for them to upgrade to the 21st century.  :lol

Would they have to upgrade the entire system at once? Would that cost a lot?

I used to love pulling stuff apart and salvaging motors and buttons and sliders and whatever else looked cool. I still have a lot of it. I'd often come home from school with random electronic parts that we'd either salvaged from the back of shops (we got so many old mobile phones and great batteries and chargers that way), or friends would give me old laptops to fix, or I'd buy parts at the electronics hobby shop literally right across from the school, or one time the entire top section off something (might have been a high end photocopier?). It was several feet long and had a screen and I thought it might have fun parts in it, so I took it home from school. Don't know what happened to it.

There are numerous ways for them to fix it that come to mind. This is only going to a training center, so it's not imperative for them to upgrade this to something ludicrous. It's not controlling one of the subway sites. They could probably just find something newer and more reliable without spending a fortune.

I had a garbage bag filled with old computer parts that the ex eventually threw out. This happened around the same time she intentionally left my Cisco routers and switches in the driveway. This was obviously at the end of the marriage.   :lol   I bought some book that had all of these electronics hacks you could do to internal parts of devices to make it operate differently and more optimally. THAT she didn't throw out.

I came across one of my old hard drives at my parent's house. I brought it home with me and hooked it up to my old tower.

Actually, Meg (ProgMaiden) was one of the first girls I ever spoke to. This is going back to the late 90s. Then there was the girl I traveled to California to meet. I met her in 1997. She still looks gorgeous now. Anyway, I digress.... I threw out the hard drive. :lol

I am not crazy about roughly half the album, but the production sounds so good that when I listen to the album, I listen to the entire album, even the songs I don't like.

Also, the songs that I DO like rank among DT's very best IMHO.  So the album is pretty schizo.

I eventually started calling her out on her shit saying things like "I'd like to thank you for completely ruining my lunch" and "I'm not the one sitting in a pizza joint pounding vodka and Heineken at 11:30 in the morning". She eventually started crying a whaling saying things like "I'm trying to save you!" and "You'll never forgive me will you".

I dropped this on her table as I left.

Evening gang!

So I moved into my new study today. I always had my desk, my computer and my guitar in the living room, but we're doing a load of stuff to the house to make it suitable for getting married and starting a family, so we converted what used to be a small workshop into a cosy little study/man-cave for me. Am very pleased with it and thankful to my fiancee who put the vast majority of the effort in, painting the walls and all that!

I was just thinking that those " How to make 45m in one week " spam posts you always get on comments sections are always " I quit my low paying retail job ".

They're never " I was on a pretty good salary already with a nice house and car and now I make 45m a week "

:lol

Yeah I know why but it's pretty funny.

:hug: Just make sure you're prepared. Think about any potential questions you will be asked. Think about any potential questions you can ask them. Research the company and learn a few choice

quotes about their "motto" or values and how they started etc. Always goes down well.

As I do not know what it is - i'm gonna guess no ! :biggrin:

I have worked for : Costa, Premier Inn, Starbucks...

If it's your first job - I advise thoroughly researching the company and remembering some choice quotes to pull when asked about your knowledge of the company.

Think of questions you might be asked.

" why do you want to work for us ? "

They usually ask if you've done anything similar but as it's your first job you should probably concentrate on the above answer.

Say things like you wanna work for a respected company that has good opportunities.

If they ask if YOU have any Q's for them - the normal thing is to ask things like

" what's a typical day in this store like ? "

Never ask about wages or holiday or stuff like that.

Ah thanks. The question that kind of threw me off track was : Tell me about yourself.
I didn't want to go on a rant about myself.
and when they said do you have any questions for me, I had a hard time, but luckily they set me up for a second interview.
Why do they even ask ," Anything you want to ask me?"
Will it hurt at all if I immediately say no?

And alert and bowling.  She,  and her team,  are not.  One of my teammates,  a cool older dude,  caught on to this..

I forget sometimes that you folks don't really know me all that well. If you did. If you'd spent years coming over for whiskey on the back patio. Or hiking in the desert. Or playing games while scamming chics at the arcade--just to bring it back around to current topics--you'd know that I'm a good natured smart ass that is playing largely to an audience of one. Namely me.

It's just a way of counting down. I dunno if they use it in real life. They say it in James Bond movies a lot :lol

Don't worry.  I get upset when the negative people do it.  Like my spelling ruins their world. If you know me as a person and that's my worst flaw, then I'm happy with myself.

I know who I am and it's ok.  I like when we rib each other like Blob and myself because it's endearing as friends. His sleeping patterns and my spelling.

Well, our company gives the day off.  It's "Family Day" here... seriously, that's the name of the holiday.  About 10 years ago, the provincial government decided it was cruel an unusual to go with no holidays from New Years to Good Friday, so they stuck this made up holiday right in the middle of Feb.

Whatever.  It's a day off.

Do you get a day off if you're a single guy living alone in front of the computer in his pants ?

Stephen Fry made a joke on tv to a close friend of his who he was then seen with afterwards and both were perfectly happy with it. **

Then he gets inundated on Twitter with abuse for saying something terrible - even though it was intended for the person he was standing right next to - and is a good friend - who took it

as it was intended.

Fry then quits twitter saying that people are just out to be offended and to be offended " on behalf of people they don't even know ".


I agree. It seems more and more people these days are just out to be offended so they can get some attention for 5 minutes.

Some people really need to take a joke. Not just rush to the internet to complain every time someone slightly belittles you albeit unintentionally or playfully with no malice intended.

::)




** He even tweeted a pic of him with the person afterwards saying they are good friends and they were totally fine with it. . .

Really good. The first day was cold (especially in Miami), about 45F when we left port. Second day we had really rough seas but after having some wine I didn't feel the boat move at all. Did some gambling and won $210. Saw a lot of shows and came home exhausted and 3 pounds heavier. It was a good time. Seeing celebrities walking around the boat was very cool as well.

Well, we had a couple inch base ever since Christmas. About three weeks ago we had a series of storms that dropped a few inches each time. By the time it was all said and done, I had about a foot of hard packed snow out on my lawn. Several feet piled up alongside the car park and walkways. In the last week it has nearly all melted except for on the north side of fences and such.

Yup. Resume is sorted out (have a friend of a friend who is a professional resume drafter who helped me out). I am now working on getting letters of Reference / Recommendation together. So far I have a friend / coworker (same one who helped with my resume), who works for the County, write one up. I also have one from one of the HOA presidents I work for, I have one coming from my supervisor, one coming from a resident, and lastly I have one coming from the owner of my current company. That's huge. He seemed bummed yet he was very  willing to help me out. Today I will finish getting all of that together. Tomorrow I fix a button on my jacked and hem my pants... and then Thursday I go in.

The weather is starting to improve so I decided to go ahead and order my motorbike a new battery.

It was £30.

That week at work I got asked to do more hours. At least 6 over the course of the week as it's half term and they needed some extra help.

I decided that I would since 6 hours * £6.70 an hour = my battery pretty much paid for :tup.

Plus a little bit extra - which I spent on a few episodes of Mythbusters from Google Play.

Since Netflix UK has like the first 3 series and that's it  :yeahright...

I can't get enough Mythbusters.

Even though now they only do like two "myths" per show and there's no Tori Grant and Kari.

Has anyone ever done this :

When you need an answer to something and in your mind you *imagine* asking someone the answer and you imagine their response and the first thing that pops into your head -

you discover later is the right answer ?

Mythbusters was great until they blew up the cement truck in the quarry. After that, the show slowly went downhill. It became less about science and more about "Jamie want big boom".

I'd say it still improved from there for Adam and Jamie, because that was early days, but the B team often pissed me off, because they were always like "THIS IS MYTHBUSTERS SO OBVIOUSLY THE NEXT STEP IS TO MINDLESSLY BLOW THINGS UP BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE DO HUR HUR" and I'd always want to punch them in the face. I was kind of glad when they got ditched.

Good evening peeples.

Had to stay an extra 2 hours at work tonight. Had to send someone... who was intoxicated... home and write up a detailed email / find someone to fill his shift.

Before giving up, you could check a couple of things that require nothing but your two hands.  Check the condenser coils and fan to make sure they're not dirty. Also check the temperature setting which I'm assuming you did already.

Yes, let's trade!!

I just love the mix of this CD.  Electric and Acoustic guitars played together is music to my ears.

Sorry King. First quote was archived.

I have to say I was not blown away by Death Magnetic. Even under all the digitally distorted  and un-dynamic sound there is a weak album ( imo ) . That was Just Your Life and Suicide and Redemption being few highlights.

I can't believe they had FIFTY cd's of songs ready to be whittled down and they Still ended up with Unforgiven 3.

So today I was going through the program with this guy and he was showing me what the icons are for.

It's a decent cafe.

Good food and coffee and it doubles up as an art gallery so the tables are all in individual alcoves with art / paintings around you - all done up in individual themes...

And only sofas.

Nice place to chill and eat.

So a buddy of mine failed his Linear Algebra exam because he was doing some last minute writing down of answers when time was nearly up and forgot to put his name on two sheets, thus not being allocated 15 points, even if all of his stuff on those would have been correct (and they were lengthy but not very hard, so I'd think he'd have gotten at least 10 of those 15 points).

Now I know that it's entirely his fault, and I'm not seeking to absolve him of any blame, but I still feel sorry for the guy. :\

I think that they care about him but don't understand how their actions really mess with him. They really do need to go with his flow. He's actually a bit more flexible than someone who really has Asperger's.

I like "big eyes", so yes it's a recurring trend.  :)  In case you haven't noticed, I don't go for conventional looking women. There needs to be something that sticks out about them.  Maybe it's their eyes or their oddly dyed hair. Who knows...

I am curious as to what you would go for...celebrity wise that is.

I just threw it up on Craigslist. I owe $900 on it still. Gonna see what I can get and work the rest out with my uncle. At the same time I just arranged to buy a car off of a friend of mine. Woo playing the game of Adulting...

I generally don't go for blondes either. I think I've had just one blonde girlfriend ever.  I mean real blonde, not fake blonde. Asian women are nice, but I also like Italian (of course), Hispanic, and Middle Eastern. When I took psychology at school a few years back, there was this really pretty girl in my class. Long jet black hair, fair skin, and sweet smile. I never in a million years would have guessed she was Iranian.  Here's a photo of her.  It doesn't do her justice but I'm just using it to show that she looked nothing like what I thought an Iranian woman would look like. After I found that out, I actually started looking around online and discovered there are so many beautiful Middle Eastern women. I have especially become fond of Iranian and Egyptian girls.

I've been kind of indifferent to this season so far, especially with silly robot wig wearing Juliet, sorry "Eve" (the most unoriginal name choice ever btw), but this episode was the first episode to excite me in a long time.

Pretty nice set of pans for just $100.00.

I was making Mrs. P some breakfast and noticed the non-stick surface on my frying pans is non-existent. The fucking kids. They all over-heat the pans and then douse them with cold water. It's only money, but damn it pisses me off when they mistreat cookware. It's not like they haven't been taught.

I didn't have that much of a problem with her, but she has that weird squinty looking face and wasn't very interesting or useful. She got interesting once it got to the hexenbiest thing, but I don't like what they did with her this season.
Season 3 was so damn good and just got better and better until the end. S4 started off strong but got weaker and by the end of the season I wasn't enjoying it much. This season started off kinda weak too, but it's been getting better again.

I was at work til 3pm GMT then I went to my Dads to check the battery I bought for my bike was ok. I arrived as Dad was just finishing up attaching it.

It turned over ! With a bit of help from the choke .

Don't worry Reap - my driving instructor told me not to use the throttle when starting in case it floods the engine. I use it very sparingly. . .

I didn't go out for a drive as the weather is crappy. but at least it goes now.

Definitely not when there's potentially ice on the road.

I don't *mind* driving in the rain. It's slippery road that would shit me up.

I don't mind if it's cold and sunny. I've done that. i just wrap up warm.

I have been shivering whilst riding though.

The version of the program I'm making these icons for is due for release on 15th March, so I think any time before that, but preferably sooner rather than later so they can check them over properly and get feedback from users. I want as many done as possibly for Monday (tomorrow) and the rest ASAP, so worst case at least they have something even if I'm not 100% happy with them. Get something done, then go back and improve them.

At least I haven't sent them all at once. I sent 400 of them a while ago, and another 100 a few weeks ago, so they've had time to check over a lot of them. I've already had a few fix-ups for simple mistakes on my part, and feedback for changes from their own graphics guy, so hopefully any changes won't be too major for me.

What was happening with me last time ?

On March 30th 2015 I got fired from Starbucks. I had to move out of my flat and move back to Wales. It was terribly emotional. Getting out of my flat was so stressful. The housing agents

wanted all sorts of things. Most of which involved them not spending a penny and me spending a fucking ton of money. Just to move out.

Anyway I moved back to the seaside just as the weather got warm. Took a driving test for a 125 motorbike so I can drive around.

Got a new job and a new flat in Wales.

Seriously. It's got a couple issues. ABS light is on.... and it stalls at idle sometimes when the tank gets below 1/4. My friend's GF bought it off an old woman 5 yrs who had it parked in a barn and used it very sparingly.. It had 85k miles when it was parked (Odo is dead). We estimate probably no more than 150k miles on it now. Probably less. She drove it till she graduated college and bought a brand new Corolla (She makes big money now.. compared to me. Haha). Now it's mine.

Now I just need to find someone who wants to buy a shitty Rodeo with a possible blown head gasket.

I'm the same. I come up with a lot of my best ideas while in bed trying to sleep, because my brain doesn't have an off switch. I often write down ideas on on my phone while lying in bed so I don't forget them, then the next morning I'll see them and expand them into something.
I think most of the ideas I'm currently working on I came up with while trying to get to sleep.

It makes perfect sense. Our minds are much more relaxed when we're lying in bed. We're already trying to shut ourselves down so we can fall asleep. Though going a couple of days without sleep helps also. I ran into that problem last week. By the second night, I was seeing shit that wasn't there, having these odd thoughts and visions.

Do you want to hear something fucked up? The girl that I was dating after my wife and I separated basically tore my heart into a million pieces after I turned my life upside down just to prove to her I wasn't like every other guy who screwed her over. She basically destroyed everything inside me to the point that I lost the desire for everything I enjoy and lost about 50 pounds in the last year and a half. I hadn't dreamt of her in months. It was the dreams I had after she left that really messed with my head even more. I managed to stop having them thankfully. However, one night last week I was on the couch and it was still a bit cold in the apartment so I grabbed the blanket that she left at my place and fell asleep with it on me. I had the most vivid dream about her that night. It was actually disturbing that the first night I used that blanket since she left, I have the first dream of her in months. I still get freaked out thinking about it.

Watching Forged In Fire for the first time...it's like Chopped for metalsmiths.

I love chopped so I will definitely have to check this out.

It was interesting, but it definitely doesn't have the same energy of Chopped. It's obvious that they don't go deep into the nuances and specifics of metalworking and the timetable for the event is much larger than that for Chopped, as would be expected. As a result the tension and "competition" isn't as intense, so while the content and metalworking is definitely interesting, it wasn't nearly as entertaining as I'd hoped it'd be. I would have loved to see them go more into the different strategies and techniques used, rather than just throwing the contestants into a competition and narrating the events.

Maybe if it gains some traction they'll develop it a bit more. It's obvious it is targeting much more of a niche audience than cooking does.

Speaking of drug tests, I actually have to take one for my new position, but I've been putting it off because of the sheer amount of cold medicine coursing through my system. Decongestants and cough suppressants can cause all sorts of false positives that I really don't want showing up.

Next few weeks are going to be pretty chill, hopefully. My boss is out of the office until March, at a conference this week and on vacation the next, so I should be able to churn through a lot of stuff. Friday alone I was able to build and schedule 3 months of marketing emails and set up some targeting campaigns. I'm about to push out an information send and then delve into a larger project that got pushed to the back when the material for this week's conference came to the front.

I love being my own manager and having full control over the marketing scheme.

While driving today, the first world designer in me had a mild conniption. A jeep in front of me had a Maryland flag spare tire cover, however whoever designed it put a boxed, default, unchanged Photoshop Bevel/Emboss on every individual segment of the flag. It was like staring at a 13 year old's first attempt at "Photoshop wizardry." And the guy probably paid money for it...ugh.

Things like that curdle my blood a tiny bit.

Mythbusters was great until they blew up the cement truck in the quarry. After that, the show slowly went downhill. It became less about science and more about "Jamie want big boom".

What's this all about?

We have monthly webinar series, 3 per month. Prior to me coming on board, there was no marketing push to get people signed up for them. There were just individual emails being sent to specific people and it was up to them to spread the word. I've instituted an email schedule that pushes through our CRM database to our interested parties. We have a very niche market so interest is extremely high. Webinars are scheduled almost completely through the rest of 2016, so it's really just a matter of building the emails, tagging the lists, and scheduling the email push. I've built each of the 12 necessary emails and scheduled all of the sends though August, so now it's off my plate until I want to tackle the rest of the year.

As for the rest of my day, I've just kinda been in a rut with ideas today, so while I've been productive, I haven't been nearly as successful as I had intended.

Thanks. I am nervous as hell though. Say I get the job... I put my 2 weeks in where I am at and start my probationary period with the county. Then say, after it's all said and done... they don't want to keep me for whatever reason (I've heard stories from a buddy who works with them about trainers dropping the new people for just because they didn't like them personally).. Until the probationary period is done, they can let me go and give me no reasons. That scares me. Because then.. I'm fucked.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: Hyperplex on February 23, 2016, 02:37:08 PM
Don't know about specific local laws, but where I live, even outside the probationary period you can be let go with no reason given. It's an At Will Employment.

I just finished a 30-day trial consulting contract at my new job. For all intents and purposes I was fully hired, however certain paperwork was pending the trial period as a business caution. Today was officially my second day of actual full-time employment, although I've been earning my salary for the past month. Even still, my next 90-days are still considered probationary per my employment agreement, although I also have in writing that my current employment is not a trial any longer.

All that is to say, try not to sweat it, because that will only make you hate what you're doing. If you get it, and it's what you want, jump in and do your best. I'm sure it will work out. The company wouldn't be able to survive if they just dumped any and all new talent simply on whims.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: JayOctavarium on February 23, 2016, 02:44:17 PM
From what I've been told by my buddy (who has worked there 15 years), there are a lot of hoops that have to be gone through before they will let someone go after the probationary period. A strike system if you will. It doesn't exist in the probationary period. Idk. I am probably freaking out over nothing.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: Hyperplex on February 23, 2016, 02:47:54 PM
Well it's natural to be nervous about that, but if you get it, go for it. Everyone there probably has to go through it, so it's worth it.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: Podaar on February 23, 2016, 03:18:14 PM
Jay,

I'm not certain, but It's likely that, unless you are appointed, there is a "merit system" in your local government that essentially gives you property rights to your job once you've passed the probationary period. Yes, it can be a bit of a nail biting experience getting through probation, but due to the nature of government (top level management being voted in or out every four years) there are protections to keep the system running by making it impossible to "be let go with no reason given." Essential public services would come to a complete halt if all the experienced people were let go whenever a new regime was put into place.

Of course that doesn't mean you can't be fired, especially if a law has been broken, but it does mean there are a great deal of steps that must be followed. (1)Verbal warning (2)1st Written Warning with corrective action plan, (3) 2nd Written Warning with new probationary period. Etc.

Do a good job, serve the public proudly and kiss the correct ass and you should do fine!

Best of luck.

Good (very late) evening peeps. Came home to a cold dinner because I wound up staying a half hour late at work.  Had to send someone home tonight. Had to do the same thing last Tues... and this was his first shift back after that. Can't go into much but... some people are just fucking morons.

back to playing the " what will break next ? " game :lol


But at least it's a lot cheaper than owning a car.

C'est rien du tout mon ami.

I have bought my bike a new starter switch , battery and now a chain. She should be good for a while hopefully.

Weather has been great recently and petrol is really cheap at the moment. Cost me under £5 to fill up the tank.

I'm all set for Spring / Summer :tup :coolio

Had to buy a chain online coz mine snapped. I searched for 1995 Yamaha SR-125 and ordered the one it came up with. Hope it's ok.

We still have the old chain which has two split-links on if we need to lengthen it by a couple if need be.

Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: Kotowboy on February 24, 2016, 11:52:25 AM
I was actually proud of myself yesterday :(

It was the first time i'd managed to adjust the back wheel so that the chain was not slack using the cogs. ( without Dad helping )...

Put all the tools away - got kitted up - rode bike off and in less than 50 yards the chain just snapped.

Skidded to a halt. I guess it was a blessing in disguise. I was not going very fast and if it was at 70mph I could have been thrown off if it happened.

AND I guess if the chain was worn away it's best to get a new one anyway :)

I hope I don't get a run of things breaking like last year. Every time you fix something and get excited again - something else goes *immediately* that you have to order and wait for :(

So disappointing.

Like - that time last year we'd ordered a part and set aside a day to fix. Finally got it attached. Started the bike up. Was about to ride off...noticed clutch lever was just hanging off.

:( ffs.

I was just going to bed a bit after 5am, and a ute pulls up in front of our house, and two young dudes in hoodies get out and walk off down the street (luckily not towards our house, which I was expecting). Then about 10 minutes later, they walk back just as suspiciously and the car drives a bit towards them, and they hop in and drive off.
I don't know what was going on, but I'm certain whatever it is was bad. Maybe they're casing the street.

He goes to a private early childhood education preschool that is amazing and he loves it, and is relatively affordable for what he gets. I want to keep him out of public school as much as I can afford to, and the kindergarten at the ECE is just as wonderful as the preschool, so we opted to send him there next year.

Thanks. Education for my kids is something for which I am willing to pay a premium, as long as I can afford to do so. The 8 years of private schooling I had were the best thing my parents could have given me, looking back, because college was a breeze for me. The education I received was unreal and I can only hope to be able to provide that for him and his sister.

Oh you are absolutely right. Sending someone to a private school without any background work is just asking to be taken to the cleaners and screwed.
I would love beyond a shadow of a dream to send them where I went, where I have more than a vested interest, but it also happens to be one of, if not the, most expensive school in the state.

One of the things that's irritated me about some folks I know who sent their kids to private school is when the child doesn't do well, there attitude was, "I paid a lot of money for little Johnny to get a head start." Then when you question them further you quickly discover, that's all they did!

Helloooo peeples.


Just spent 3 hours cleaning the garage. I literally only got 1 little corner done... and I WASN'T getting distracted by all the things I found.

Now about to get showered and head to our friend's daycare to spend some time with her kiddlings... and then bowling. Thursdays are always so busy.


And I was looking over the background check info the county needs for this job. It's NOTHING compared to the check I had to go through for the Santa Barbara PD parking job I was gunning for a while back. I got this!

Bowling was fun tonight. Drinking with a bunch of middle aged women, one of which kept buying... bowled great... but I wound up coming down hard on my ankle with my ball. It hurts like a bitch. I called out of work tomorrow because of it.

Im hoping to actually be able to take a vacation this summer. I spent 3 weeks at the beach last summer, but it was right after being laid off and I was mostly miserable the whole time. They let me go 2 days before my first vacation in 4 years so, I couldn't really enjoy myself.

Hoping to take a week this June and just take the fam down and actually enjoy ourselves.

Listening to Rust In Peace on Google Play, and it's the remastered version - it sounds like crap. They've added so much stuff to it and moved Mustaine's voice so far up in the mix...

I swear the bandage tape is the worst part of getting blood drawn. The needle is quick and easy and mostly painless, but I just broke blood vessels removing the tape. Same with tattoos. I'll sit for half a day getting inked but the tape after is awful.

During the day, not much. Later on, I'm going out to dinner with my brother and his wife.

Went to Dads after work. Put the new chain on my bike.

Now, I ordered this chain from an online store and gave the make, model and year of the bike.

I asked my usual stockist and they gave me a long email about the size of chains and the sprockets etc...

I wanted a chain immediately so I ordered it and hoped for the best.

It arrived and today we put it on and...

IT FIT PERFECTLY :rollin

Like - it was the exact length I needed. We threaded it through - put the split link on and it was done. :tup Deffo ordering from them again.

Nice drive albeit a touch chilly. I always think the fun of driving over-rides the cold. I didn't go crazy though as the road may have been frosty. Kept it at about 40 - 50.





Edit : Oh Hey reap you like Still untitled ! I can't wait for new episodes. The last one a couple of weeks ago where it was just Will rambling was boring though. I like their Spoilercasts.

Quote
My dearest,

May the peace of the Lord be with you as you read this letter. My name is Christy Walton and I am an American Citizen, I am widow and a business woman. I have recently been diagnosed with esophageal cancer and a rare heart disease which has defiled all medical treatment. Expert diagnosis has shown that I have few days to live. I am worth $41.7 Billion US Dollars which I inherited from my late husband Mr. John T. Walton which rates me as the First richest woman in the world.

The intention of this email is to employ the expertise of a Charity minded individual, who can identify a viable and guarantee reasonable distribution of my wealth to the needy. I cannot rely on family and closest relatives anymore, as they did not show responsible behavior when I entrusted part of my wealth to them to distribute to charitable organizations but instead they used the money for their personal needs.

To prevent any more mishaps, my attorney will act as a check, monitoring every aspect of the Charity. My will is with my Lawyer which my family is fully aware about, but there is 5% of my Bank worth which is $2,085000000.00 (Two Billion, Eighty Five Million U.S Dollars) which nobody is aware of except my attorney.

Do get back to me by providing me with your Full name for further details. Please endeavor to keep this confidential. I await your response.

God bless you.
Mrs. Christy Walton

You should really back up and stop using a hard drive immediately as you notice signs of death, because they can go at any moment after that. Sometimes you'll get a few weeks out of them, or it could be any moment. Or you can just have the drive die without any warning at all. But you don't mess around with hard drives. Hard drives are serious business!

I'm not exactly new to living on my own, given that I was at boarding school for six years and lived abroad a year, but yeah. Will probably be moving sometime within the next two weeks, but I've got a lot of other stuff to do - work, mainly - so we'll see. Definitely want to have this done sometime during March though, because once uni starts again in April, that'd just be stupid to not have used the break to do it.

I enjoy them regardless because some of those people are spectacular actors. Nobody says you have to get involved with all of the behind the scenes drama to enjoy them.  ;) I don't see the big deal about someone shedding a few tears because they received such adulation in a field they've dedicated their life to.

The Final Cut, that is an album I haven't listened to in a very long time. Some great little Gilmour solos in there. I always wonder what would've happened to Pink Floyd if they released the Final Cut before The Wall.


It would have been if I'd finished it. I did my final exam but just never bothered with my dissertation.

Yup.  Just dug into paperwork early and didn't log on.  I also have a very good worker who feels like he can't advance so I had a sitdown with him.  He's a single dad and can't work at other sites sometimes because of his 3 boys so I wanted to assure him it was more about him just not able to go because of his children.  I have the utmost confidence in him and his ability.

I could just tell something was on your mind by your simple "morning" post. Usually you start off with something sarcastic or hysterically snarky. I just wanted to make sure you were alright.

 
YES!!! AMLOR!

That was the first album I ever heard, I was like 6 at the time and I remember getting the disk out listening to it on a loop when I was a kid. I know a lot of people don't care for it but I love it. I was also obsessed with watching the VHS of Delicate Sound of Thunder.

I definitely enjoy it. On The Turning Away is a killer song.

Thanks John.  He's a good kid and I worry that he doesn't think highly of him.  Far from the truth but him being a single dad does hurt him going to help other sites.  He's got to look at the better picture that he has the boys not the crazy ex.  That's what matters.

He will over time. I think his fear comes from not being able to support them if he were to lose his job, so I think if you instill it in him that he's fine, that stress will disappear.

I think he's bored.  He's a very smart kid and is wondering if he's hit the ceiling here.  He's making great money for a manual labor job but that's because he deserves it.  Some people need more.  I get that, he's got to understand his children sometimes stops him from traveling and I know that sucks but his kids should come first.

I did and I will talk to my boss about the opportunities.  The only problem ism the next step is to have his own site and he would have to move which he can't but he can still go to the other sites and show his worth.

HTC Vive now has confirmed price and date, around the same time as the Rift. The Rift will cost about $1100AUS. The Vive will cost around $1300AUS. I don't think either of those factors in import tax either. Ouch. Plus a new graphics card to run it, because I don't use a gamer card.

Hey Hey Hey, I went to McDonalds in Paris. I go to McDonalds in every country just so I can compare it to the states. So far France, England, and Canada have tastier McDonalds than the states.

I have a pretty powerful gaming rig that meets the requirements and my brother and I are discussing going half on the vive or rift. I think we decided to give it some time and see how it plays out after they get released. I did try the Samsung Gear VR and I was blown away by what the phone can do so I can't even imagine the rift or vive.

If you've already got the rig, and are in the US and going halves, that would be a very reasonable price for VR.
I could have bought a great gaming card, but I just didn't want a graphics card that required its own power substation and could melt steel beams, and it wasn't my priority. Plus this was 3 years ago now. The dilemma is that I still don't want to get a gamer card, because it can't do 10 bit colour like my Quadro can, but the price for a Quadro that meets the minimum specs would be stupidly stupid.

My simile was more in reference to Paris being a world capital for fine dining, ergo going out to dinner there but choosing fast food would be a bit of a travesty (speaking in terms of relative quality of food). Italy, as such, can also be considered a key place for fine coffee, and Sbux opening there is kinda like opening the chain crap next door to the exquisite homegrown alternatives.

Well I have 11 years of experience and a director's title, so a Masters isn't really that necessary anymore. Most of the CMOs for whom I have worked have not had more advanced degrees and many C-levels don't have it either (many, not all, of course). I'm in no hurry and may never get one.

I completely understand! Alas, a masters is the new bachelors. You just have to set your mind to succeed, and you'll figure out if and when the right time to go back will be.

Well I have 11 years of experience and a director's title, so a Masters isn't really that necessary anymore. Most of the CMOs for whom I have worked have not had more advanced degrees and many C-levels don't have it either (many, not all, of course). I'm in no hurry and may never get one.

So then why were you thinking about going back to school?

Let me tell you, being a student is no fun, and when you're an older student, it's a lot worse. So much more things to balance. I am a good ten years older than some of my classmates, and that's only because I'm taking upper level courses. So that's just depressing. I have friends who I went to high school with who are nearly finished with medical school, and look where I am.  :facepalm:

You should probably have your prostate checked asap.

I appreciate the concern but I got rid of that a couple of years ago. I was referencing my nose, but I can totally see how you could think otherwise.

Because at the time I was entertaining the thought, I was not a director and had fewer than 10 years experience...and only one child. Circumstances were different and change over time.

Hey Jay.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: JayOctavarium on March 02, 2016, 02:28:08 AM
So I'm in a good mood.  I've got a friend of mine... we actually we kind of a thing way back when (end of middle school, beginning of High School). Our relationship, which was just blossoming, ended when she moved to the other side of the country. We tried to make it work, but long distance relationships are hard. ESPECIALLY when you are like, 14.

Anyhow... she has a twin sister (whom I am also very good friends with), who joined the navy and is now stationed out near me. Ok, it's like a 3-4 hour drive, but it's better than the 4 day drive from where she used to be. Did I mention that the sister is hot? It's irrelevant but yea. Anyway... This girl is driving across the country in April with their mother to bring the sister her car. There is a good chance that I can somehow meet up with them (She and her mother) for lunch or something.

I haven't seen her in almost 12 years. The prospect of seeing her is making me giddy inside. Like... the only thing I can compare it to is that feeling in the pit of your stomach you get when you fall in love.  There is a good chance that it WON'T happen (due to logistics), but still... omg.

It always looked dumb when I was a kid but has pro wrestling just gone full on parody now?

Up until they changed towards the end of the 1990s, WWF was criticized for the childish gimmicks and silliness, not to mention the wrestling itself was pretty bad anyway. These days it's generally more realistic, with less "characters", and the wrestling is a lot more entertaining (although WWE has been in a rut for a while now). It's also easier to accept now that there's no pretense of it being real, unlike back in the day when wrestlers would have to keep up the act even out of the ring. It's best to think of it like watching live movie fights rather than comparing it to legit fighting.

Man this company we have working for us at the hotel is full of the most incompetent people. The hotel I work at is being sold and during an inspection and they found a 1000 gallon oil tank underground that used to fuel the old furnace that was here. The buyers wanted it to be removed. Ok so we hire a well known company to remove the tank, it sucks because it's our busiest time of year and it's a huge undertaking. While removing the tank they break a few water pipes feeding 5 rooms. They have spent two days trying to fix it and every time they work on it they just make it worse. They have licensed plumbers but I'm at the point where I need my own plumbers out here. It's such a shit show.

Well, I'm just about to head into the field. One of these days they'll listen to me here. I spent the morning digging up the configuration for one of our CSU/DSUs when I told them the circuit itself is bad. No amount of equipment replacements is going to make the circuit suddenly have voltage on it. I should just stop trying and be 50 percenters like everyone else here.  :facepalm:

Well, I go to work on Friday.

I don't know how it ever started happening that we chose Thursdays, but we just went one Thursday night with some friends and somehow it kinda stuck.  Turns out, it was a good thing, since my gigs were usually on Saturdays.  We could drink Thursday, rehab on Friday, and be ready to drink again on Saturday.

Well, it's not just you.  Thursday is a big "go out and party" night everywhere, AFAIK.

It just never really made sense to me if you have to work on Friday as well (which I always do).

Our band at church has its rehearsals on Thursday nights.  We occasionally go for a beer or two afterwards, but I could never go full-on beast mode unless it was a Friday night.

I've OFTEN said to myself "Why do we do this to ourselves when we have to work on Friday", but then I remind myself that we'll be drinking again on Saturday, just hanging around the house, so that makes it a little easier to stomach.  We don't get completely stinking rip-roaring trashed on Thursdays.  Well, at least not all the time.  We go to the bar, have a few and have dinner, then go home, where we can continue to drink a little more carelessly, knowing we don't have to drive anywhere else.

I'm not so sure it is false.

It says specifically "In the province of the mind."  The mind is how we receive and process information.  So, relative to the individual, belief would eventually be truth, in every way they could determine, regardless of what an outside observer would perceive as truth.

Also, the old saying that "perception is truth."

You have it exactly right. There is plenty of truth behind that fortune. It's called solipsism. It's the idea that one's own mind is the only thing that matters, and that everything we see around us doesn't exist except as our mind sees it. Your perception of things are all you know to be true. To write the fortune off as false would basically erase your perception of everything around you.

I took this recc'n once, and was highly disappointed.  I won't speak for how you'll enjoy it, but I was scratchin my head afterwards.

If it's not a good movie, there will be pieces of King mailed to each forumer.

Chad's more straightforward with his movies.  I know how your brain works John, you've love the dialog and how the movie changes gears a few times, the comedy, the serious meaning and the mix all together.  It's really right up your alley.

Well, I like quality movies, and I think that Arnold has made his share.

But there are a few that definitely are not, and they include (but are not limited to) Commando, Raw Deal, and Red Heat.

Well that was fun. Doctor's checkup, so I had to drive in the opposite direction from work for the appointment, then drive all the way back plus the distance to my office. On the upside, a small snafu at payroll means I got paid today, instead of in two weeks, even though it's only a week's pay (half). So next pay period I'll get another half check, and THEN I'll get a full check 2 weeks later. Sheesh.

Good Morning. This has been a shitty fucking morning so far.

So... back story: Lots of fighting and drama at home. Enough to make me basically spend my 2 days off (Wed / Thurs) out and about avoiding home. I got home at like 11:30 PM last night. Spent the evening roaming around. My street was packed, so I parked in our Permit Parking overflow lot. I did not make use of my permit, as it was on my Isuzu (with it's blown headgasket... still trying to get rid of it). I parked with out my permit because I have never seen a car towed from that lot. I've seen our shitty parking enforcement company ticket cars that have sat there for months w/out a pass over and over again... and over a year ago my Cutlass had been ticketed like twice over the course of a year for no pass, as well as my roommate (at that time)'s truck. So I thought nothing of it.

I came down this morning, already running late, and my car was gone. I called the towing company and confirmed they had my Honda. Ok. $260 dollars. Fuck. Ok. So I hope in my Isuzu and pray it makes it to work. I call the security company and ask for their supervisor on duty to call me. I get a call a little later and I explain that while I understand WHY I got towed, I needed to know what their official policy was. I told him don't bullshit me with their cookie cutter responses. I'm a fucking supervisor for a security company and I supervise the approval of Private Property Impounds all the time. I told him of the inconsistencies I've seen with how his guards patrol the lot and write tickets. I told him that I've seen them pull into the lot and not even look at cars. I told him that where I work we have a system of checks and red tape that prevent us from wrongfully towing someone. I explained how detailed our records are when we tow. The dude seemed dumbfounded and said to talk to the property management company.

I called the management company and left a long message basically explaining that I believe they need to look into how the company they hired handles enforcement and explained the inconsistencies.

I do this shit for a fucking living. I know the difference between right and shady... and this shit was shady. Legal, but shady.


And now I get to borrow money from someone and try to get my car out after work today. FML

So as for my saga... long story short... I am $260 poorer and I have my car again.



Yea everything is alright, I'm just stupid. I was at a traffic light behind a jeep. It's a long light so I start taking the receipts out of my wallet. Next to me is the turning lane and they get a green advance arrow, I see the cars move out of my peripheral vision and let go of the brake while looking down and the car idled in the jeep in front of me. Fuck. I get out of the car and her Jeep is fine and my cars grill is cracked. We pull off the side of the road and this woman had already called the police. She asked how fast I was going and she thought I was doing at least 30mph. That's what she told the police however being that there isn't any damage on her car they were skeptical, then they tell her they'll pull the traffic cam footage and look at it. She then says "Ok maybe it wasn't that fast". The officer tells them there doesn't seem to be any damage on her car and take my number and call me if she has issues. Went on our way and I had to order a new grill ($86).

tl;dr I'm dumb

I ordered myself a pepperoni pizza on Thursday. I should have told them to make it well done, but it didn't stop me from eating the whole thing anyway.

One of my favorite things I love is when you get a pepperoni pizza and the edges of the pepperoni are slightly burned.

A pizza prepared by a craftsman. Not a shit pizza.

Well done.

not badly done.

Lost went downhill very quickly after the first season. I stopped watching at some point in S2. That show has a lot to answer for.

Maybe you'll like all of it, I don't know. There are good ideas in there, but I thought many of those ideas went nowhere and were mostly in there for the sake of creating mystery rather than adding real depth.

That's what I'm afraid of.  So far, the plot twists have been intriguing. However, like you said, sometimes plot twists are added in which are completely ridiculous. Or sometimes when you get to the backstory of a character, it's a complete letdown. I've already had a couple of interesting ways the story could go so we'll see if I'm right.

The first season of Lost is one of my favourite series of a television show ever, and season two isn't far behind although it had some issues. But starting with season three, it steadily declines. I think it's because the early seasons are the characters against the island and against each other, but later on the characters are less important than the overall story and mythology, and I didn't find that as interesting. That and a lot of the new characters they introduced along the way just weren't as compelling as the originals.

So am I. There are so many damn fantasy novels out there and there isn't much that sets them apart. I read a few chapters in and then realize I've read the same thing a hundred times before. It's why I struggled with mine for the longest time until I realized something that changed the way I approached it.

It's a compelling story, but it's easy to see how the show writers could take it too far thinking they're creating more appeal.

Just got home from the scariest drive I've ever driven.  The bar my buddy played tonight is about 45min away.  I knew we were supposed to get some rain,  so I threw new wiper blades onto my Honds and left.  Good booze good music good people...  I was there from 8p till 2am. When we left (stayed to bullshit w band and help tear down.. Followed my buddy for 80% of the drive as we live in same direction)  it was raining..  5 min later,  it was fucking pouring harder than I'd seen in years.  The rain let up as we got down out of the valley part of the county and towards the coast.  I got off the freeway like 10 miles before him to take the direct  route to my house.  This consists of just 2 lane back roads.   As soon as I got off,  it began raining fucking buckets.  It was so hard that i couldn't even see to pull off to the side of the road (afraid of driving into the ditch that runs beside it.)  i spent a long amount of time driving 10mph or less with my flashers on following the road from memory.. This was the scariest thing I've ever experienced.  I even puked a little when i pulled in at home.  At that same time,  my buddy shot me a message informing me that he was home safe as well.  I have been in car accidents that could and should have seriously injured me.  Totalling both cars...  And this experience was 10x scarier than both of those combined.

I hate driving in downpours at night.

I met my now-wife when I was in college.  I went to Appalachian State, which is in the mountains of North Carolina.  She is from Mount Airy (where we now live).

I worked at a local grocery store while I was in school, and on this particular weekend, the plan was for me to drive down to visit her for the weekend on Saturday morning (I had to work at the grocery store until 11 pm Friday night).  So as soon as I got back to my apartment, I got a call from her asking me to come on down right then because she was horny.  So of course, down the mountain I went, and as soon as I hit the stretch of highway that actually goes down the mountain, here comes a fucking monsoon, while driving downhill at night on a curvy mountain road.

But hey, there was pussy on the line.

Linear Algebra I've had for a while now, and I passed that with something around 90-ish percent (the actual points were never disclosed, just the grade).

If the other two keep up their promised grading schedule, I should be getting another result tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath. Legally, they are allowed to take up to 4 weeks (which would be the Monday after that).

And my fourth exam wasn't even written two weeks ago, so that's way off. Especially since our professor likes to take his sweet time with basically everything, as we found out on tests and the like. So we'll see - I'll probably have all the results before uni starts again in April. I hope.

I've stuck with an old version, because the new version looks gimmicky like it wants to be an iPhone text conversation. I miss MSN. Still had a lot of features that Skype clearly has no intention of adding back.

Msn messenger was the best chat portal ever.



It sure was. Skype has always been by far the best for audio/video conferencing in my experience, but its texting leaves something to be desired, and there's been little to no improvement in that area for as long as I've been using it.

Followup on last week's hit and run...

The garage estimated between $2900 and $3300 if I were to source Mini for replacement parts.


Fuck.

Damn that is a lot.

I found an almost complete door online for $588. It doesn't have a mirror or interior door panel, but I can salvage those off my current door. The color matches too, so I won't need paint. The other major part I need will be coming from the same donor car and costs $392. That comes to $980, which is still less than my deductible. Even if they hit me with 15 hours of labor (which I don't think it will be), it still comes in under $2000, which I can live with.

She's young, inexperienced, and tends to move too fast, and then makes excuses. She has made it painfully clear she's looking for another job and everyone knows it. This time around she sent out the wrong email at the wrong time with the wrong information and her response to it was to say someone else should have caught the mistake. I wasn't a part of the project at all, but I did receive the erroneous email and then had to issue a correction to 500 registrants of a webinar.

I kept my mouth shut because she doesn't report to me, but I just quietly shook my head because it is obvious to me that she lacks the experience to recognize mistakes, correct them, and keep her mouth shut when she needs to just own up.

And I didn't say she was getting fired. Just in trouble.

Hah thanks. I try to write professionally for the most part, at least when I think about it.

And yes, as a manager I always tried to thank someone when they helped out or compliment them when they excel. I've never understood how people who only focus on the negatives reach positions of relative power.

That's another thing about this position: at almost every other job, when a good job was accomplished, nothing was said. The mentality was simply, "That's why we pay you." However, should you ever make a mistake, it was like Braveheart; you were paraded around and pelted with garbage on the way to your execution, because, "That's NOT why we pay you." Basically, the thought was, if you are doing a good job, no one notices you, and I think that's bullshit. This company recognizes what I bring to the table and tells me, so I'm not left wondering if my performance is acceptable, mediocre, or outstanding.

Yep. And this girl who messed up is feeling that way now. The thing is, from what I understand in my short time here, she hasn't proven herself. It appears that as soon as something goes wrong, she is on the defensive, and I can understand that to a point. She is the youngest one here and has the least experience. But a lot of the time you get back what you put out, and it seems like whenever something goes wrong she just throws her hands in the air and says "that's what I was told."

I had a supervisor like that.  Instead of saying, It's my fault and I will correct it, it was reasons why it wasn't his fault.  It hurt him from getting his own site to run.  He was a damn good worker too!

Sorry, I have to add humor in. It's my masking technique. Some people say that it's rude to smile or laugh at a funeral or wake, but I think it's exactly what people need during such dark times.

Not bands, but individual players.

The old: John Coltrane, Thelonius Monk, Miles Davis.

The new: Kamasi Washington.  Incredible.  He released an album in 2015 called The Epic and it is a good title.  3 discs, over 3 hours of music.

Well, one band.  Snarky Puppy.  More fusion than jazz proper, but they are still incredible.  Check them out on youtube, lots of videos.

I have liked jazz fusion (Return to Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra, etc) for a long time, but I've only been dipping my toe into jazz proper (bebop, avant-garde, free jazz, etc) over the last year or two.  I still can't follow all of it, but it is incredible.

It's a great day outside for sure. I was supposed to meet with a Verizon tech who never showed up. So since 11 I've been doing nothing. I spent about an hour or so in Starbucks hanging out. Then walked around downtown Brooklyn for a bit. Now I'm back at the office.

I met a friend for lunch, had my window open much of the day until it got a little too warm and the AC kicked on, and now I'm kinda just kicking back. I don't have a whole lot going on right now, and I'm debating closing the door and powernapping for a bit. Could also draw a bit, if I felt inspired.

Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: Hyperplex on March 10, 2016, 01:06:29 PM
I'm finding this new job very fortuitous for me because I am now working very near my best friend. Even though he and his wife don't live far, we never find the time to see each other because our schedules never mesh. But now that I am basically working down the street from him, he and I have met up for lunch a handful of times and we get to catch up and maintain the friendship, as well as plan times for all of us to get together.

My former "best friend" pretty much dropped me out of his life, and this guy has always been a really awesome friend to me, so I'm glad this is now a possibility more and more often.

Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: Hyperplex on March 10, 2016, 01:10:22 PM
It seems weird to say that I sorely missed him. He and I were roommates for my 3rd and 4th years in college, and we were both groomsmen in each others' weddings. We saw each other more often closer to when we graduated college but then as life and work happened, we went longer without seeing each other.

In hindsight, I really wish I had asked him to be my best man, given that the guy who was my best man is the aforementioned one who cut me out. But, oh well, can't change that. At the time, I had known the other guy longer and did consider him my best friend.

Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: Hyperplex on March 10, 2016, 01:21:45 PM
Well, my former friend and I didn't have to grow apart. While I will never actually know why it happened, the break did coincide with him meeting his wife. She came to town with him to meet us once (I had known him for almost 20 years) and after that, his texts to me became fewer and fewer, he stopped acknowledging my birthday despite me acknowledging his, and ultimately never told me he was engaged or married, despite being my best man and informally promising me a spot in his own wedding party. When I found out he was married and I didn't even get invited, I pretty (finally) made the decision that if he considers me out of his life, I might as well consider the same of him. Hurt really badly at the time, but now I don't have that hanging over me anymore.

Drew... I had the exact same thing happen (tho, he was my wedding party, but not my best man).  For some reason he started communicating less, excluding me from things, not responding to my calls/messages.  We hadn't spoken in a number of years, and I sent him a very heart-felt note on his 40th birthday (4 years ago) summing it up that we can't change the past, but can work to create a different future. 

Nothing.  Nada.  Zip.  Zilch. 

I have no idea why he decided/needed to cut me out of his life, but it's his choice and nothing I can do about it.  Just have to accept and move on.  It was tough for sure, but accepting it is all we can do.

It's rough, jingle. When he moved out of state, he would visit home and we would always hang out together. Then I remember seeing him post on Facebook that he came back home, went to an Orioles game, and hung out with other friends, but didn't even text to say he was in town. That was really when I knew he had severed the tie, but I stubbornly clung to baseless hope until his wedding. Meh, talking about it helps but I'm basically over it. I know better people now.

We've got DST in a few weeks in the opposite direction, which means the time differences shifts by two hours overall. We watched the WWE Royal Rumble live a couple of months ago which started at 11am our time, and when we watch Wrestlemania live it looks like it will be 9am our time.
Which I'm sure I don't need to tell you presents a major logistical challenge for me. I woke up at 4pm today. :lol

My car is a wifi hotspot, uses a sim card to access T-Mobile (it's called Audi Connect). T-Mobile recently did what they call a "turndown" and because of that, I can't connect. Audi is giving me a free hardware upgrade so I can continue to connect, but it will take 6 hours because of where in the car the wireless radio is and how long the software upgrade will take.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese

Audi Connect also means I have Google maps integration in my GPS, real time updates like events, gas prices, and traffic, and GPS location searches via Google.

The Garth Brooks concert last night was pretty awesome.  I know he is "country", but that was a fucking rock show.  I've seen Van Halen, and I've seen the Who, but that was easily the loudest concert I've ever attended.

Dude puts some serious energy and charisma into his show, too.  It was very entertaining.

Same here. I have people that I know. That i'm friendly with. But I get really sad sometimes that i've never had that close friend that texts first and wants to hang out..

I feel your pain.  The guy who was my closest friend in life and I just sort of drifted away after the birth of my youngest daughter.  He and his family moved right after that so he could work on his PhD.  That was 13 years ago.  Out of sight, out of mind, I guess.

This dad booked a room for himself and his two girls and their two girl friends. Last night I get a call from the police saying that two of the girls were sobbing outside and they were locked out because the other girls locked the front door. Huge mess, one of them threw up on our deck. Just a shit show. What makes it even worse is all the other guests I have at the hotel are 50 years old and older. The best part about this is these girls are all under age so when the police showed up they had booze so they got underage drinking charges.

Father of the year comes in this morning to apologize. I asked him where he was and he went home a day early and left them at the hotel. Anyway, he gets to pay for the damages.

Hey Reap had a puncture in the back tyre again yesterday. Not so bad this time ! No shredded tyre !!

My dad came with the electric pump and I was close to home so we pumped it up and I drove about half a mile - pumped it up again and drove another half a mile.

Got home after three stops. Put some "Slime" sealant in the tube - put the bike on the stand and in second gear and let it spin for a while.

Left it over night and seems ok today. Been riding all day and the tyre is still hard. :tup.

So when the dealer told me they'd have my car ready today, what they really meant was we'll let the car sit all day Saturday and not touch it until this morning, and then they'll do the work in an order that takes the longest, and when I call to check up on it, they say it will "really be cutting it close" to get it finished up today. Now, I'd much rather them not rush and do it properly, but I also have a hair up there about people/businesses that give a promise date and then completely miss that date.

Hey Reap had a puncture in the back tyre again yesterday. Not so bad this time ! No shredded tyre !!

My dad came with the electric pump and I was close to home so we pumped it up and I drove about half a mile - pumped it up again and drove another half a mile.

Got home after three stops. Put some "Slime" sealant in the tube - put the bike on the stand and in second gear and let it spin for a while.

Left it over night and seems ok today. Been riding all day and the tyre is still hard. :tup.

Might just need to put some air in once a day.

You're having some bad luck with tires recently :lol.

I've never gotten sealer to fully seal the tire, I've always had to keep putting air in it. Not the worst thing in the world, my rear tire lasts only 3k miles so they get changed out quickly anyway.

Well I pumped it up before I left town. Went around town once and tried again. Some air had come out but not a huge amount. So topped up again and went for a long drive.

Kicked the tyre every time I parked to make sure it was still hard.

Seems to be working. We couldn't see any holes in the tyre or any green blobs after installing the sealant which would suggest a Large hole.

Also - I could quite blatantly hear escaping air when i discovered the flat and now I cannot so there's that too.

Fill a squirt bottle with soapy water and spray it all over the tire. If there's still a leak, you'll see bubbles form around it.

Yes we normally do that but this seems to have done the trick :tup.

This "Slime" sealant is also supposed to slosh around inside the tube for 2 years ( you'd probably get a new tube in that time anyway ) - repairing any new holes you may get too.

It basically gets forced into a hole by the air in the tube and coagulates.

I've also read online not to leave the valve at 6 o clock when parked as it could settle in the valve. So i'll have to keep that in mind too.

Yes, likely. They were checking two things: one was the wireless upgrade, the other was a check engine light code that cleared itself but I wanted investigated anyway. They found a faulty hose and diaphragm so they had to get the new parts in this morning. Nothing serious. The wireless upgrade was done as of yesterday afternoon so I just have to wait to hear that they have finished the other repair and I'll be set to go.

EDIT: In before the "hose and diaphragm" jokes. :eyebrows:

I had started this silly celtic design drawing at my desk yesterday and left it to finish today, but dumbass me left my pens home, so all I have here is the 01 liner I keep in my work back. I need at least my 08 and BR to finish this up, so I guess I'm taking it home tonight. Was trying my hand at a circular freehand design; fairly basic but an attempt at uniformity. I don't want to mess it up by grabbing a Sharpie and having it bleed everywhere.

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. It's about a mile and a half from Sam Boyd Stadium and you can see the strip off in the distance. I think it's a sister hotel of a Marriott. I'm heading down there with my dad and basically everything is comped and I didn't arrange any of the trip. He has to travel for his work a lot. They reimburse him for everything, so he's got more flyer, car rental, and hotel points than he knows what to do with (especially considering the fact my mother won't set foot on an airplane). He booked everything a while back.

I feel like a bum getting a free vacation, but at the same time, when life gives you lemons, go to the monster jam world finals.

Firstly, this is the dealer. Secondly, the CEL threw a code that I read myself with a reader so I know what the code is. This is continuing to do it so more parts need to be replaced. Thirdly, this is all covered under warranty so they wont make anything off me anyway. I trust them.

Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: Hyperplex on March 15, 2016, 01:30:21 PM
I used to go to a mechanic that my family knew for decades. He's still around and is still one of the most honest businessmen I know. The problem was his shop wasn't advancing at the same rate cars were. For example, he couldn't mount tires on wheels larger than 15"; he had to send them out. When I got an imported luxury car, he often had trouble getting the right parts. It just started to make more sense to me to take it to the dealer for service, especially for the high line brands.

The other thing is, dealers don't often try to pull the wool over the customers' eyes anymore. With the rise of the internet, it is so easy for consumers to find out what things really do cost and how things really do work, it doesn't benefit dealerships to be ripoffs. Having worked at an auto firm, I can tell you the dealers WANT to satisfy customers and have them coming back and give glowing reviews. Partially because they really do want to help, but also because the better they treat a customer, the more likely they are to come back. Also, the more positive reviews they get, the more co-op dollars they get from the manufacturer.

Service and parts are where car dealers make a majority of their profit. The other majority is F&I (the office where you sign the final paperwork, where they try to sell you LoJack, paint protectant, extended maintenance plans, etc). When it comes to service departments they really do want to help you because it's also in their best interest to do so.

Private mechanics are not governed by the same principles, so there can be honest good guys and lying bad guys.

I usually do my research before letting someone try to sell me something I don't need when it comes to cars. My friend's mechanic tried to tell me I needed my timing belt changed, that it was "falling apart". I did some research and found out that in my Hyundai there isn't a timing belt, it's a timing chain and should never have to be replaced unless there were some extraordinary circumstances. I corroborated this with two people I know who know just about everything there is to know about cars. Unfortunately, they don't live close enough to have them do my auto work.

I don't mess with independent mechanics anymore. That may sound harsh or unfair, but honestly with all the technology and specific things in today's cars, not going to the dealer can open many cans of worms. When you get to the higher line cars, some that have upwards of 7-15 computers in them, the dealer is often the only one equipped to handle anything and everything necessary.

And just got the call - they found the issue and are fixing it but it won't be ready until tomorrow. *sigh* The thing about all of this is, I have a loaner car so I can get to and from work, and after all the frustration of them having the car for 3 days...they are testing and fixing and testing and will give the car a road test before they turn it back over to me. So after all is said and done, it should be well fixed. There's something to say for that.

Post by: Hyperplex on March 16, 2016, 07:56:50 AM
Well my day just took a turn for the sad...

I had a friend when I was much younger who worked at a pool hall I went to. He took me to my first Rush show. He was a lot older than I am but he became a family friend and we hung out a lot. I grew up, stopped going to the pool hall, and we didn't see each other for a while, though I did find him on Facebook a while ago. He had moved to Arizona. We talked a bit and caught up.

Hadn't heard from him in a while, and as I was sitting here listening to Rush, a random thought occurred to me to check his Facebook page.


He died a year ago yesterday. I don't know what from, I never knew he was gone. He posted a comment to a post two days before he passed and then the comments on the post turned to remembering him and how he had been fighting something. I suppose that could mean cancer, but I suppose it could mean anything else as well. I googled his obituary and found it: March 15, 2015. Doesn't give a cause, though.

I'm stunned speechless. May not have been overly close in recent years but it's a large portion of my life that I did see him a lot and I feel like I somehow should have known he was gone. Also somewhat eerie how I thought to check so close to his death anniversary.

Just word vomiting now, I guess. I feel a pang of loss now and I wasn't expecting it.

It's all part of the same problem - the engine threw a code for loss of vacuum pressure (supercharger). The found a faulty diaphragm and a faulty hose. Replaced them. Roadtested the car and it threw the same code. Ran a leak test, found another faulty hose. Replaced. Roadtested it, different code for intake manifold flaps being closed. Checked and found that it's all part of the same lack of vacuum pressure problem. Tech said while it's in and under warranty, best to replace all of it. Part is ordered and will be in first thing in the morning. I'd rather it all get fixed and not have to pay a dime, which is what is happening, I'm just frustrated because I expected to have the car back Monday and now it will be Thursday at the earliest.

Yeah, definitely. I'd much rather have it all taken care of and NOT get home, only to have to go back. But like you said, expecting it 3 days ago and having to wait still another day sucks. The other bright side is I have a loaner car, so I can still make it to work and all that. It's just an inconvenience and, personally, I hate loose ends, and I want this tied up asap.

Sigh.

Vegetarian "chicken" burgers.

Why Chicken ? If it's just seeds or corn or whatever...Why call them vegetarian "chicken" burgers ? It has no relevance to "chicken" at all.. :lol

May as well call them Vegetarian "Unicorn" Burgers.

Yesterday was EXTREMELY difficult for me after learning about my friend and it just seemed like everything went wrong.

Hoping today is a fresher start, even if it requires a ton of driving. With all good fortune, my car will be ready this afternoon, so I might be driving out and back to pick it up, and then after work one of Eric's friends is having birthday party that we are all going to. Lot's of driving, but hopefully good things.

Here's to hoping. *raises coffee mug*

So after uploading and publishing that celtic design I drew yesterday to my website, I got an inquiry from someone who wants to contract me to design a logo for him. All good, except his initial request was to buy a design from my site, as if I was selling them. This is why there are copyright notices on my site that say any logos and materials are copyright their respective owners, while the creative content is my work. I told him I would be happy to design him something at a standard rate, but he hasn't responded. I'll have to be on the lookout for people using a lifted logo. Heh.

I want a new one as well. Want to get my kids' handprints, probably on the inside of my right arm, but I'm not sure when I'm going to go for that. That would pretty much fill all the open space on my upper arms and the only other piece I can think about wanting is a back piece that I haven't even begun to think about planning.
I also want to get a couple spots on my left arm touched up but those are so minor I keep putting them off.

I decided a long time ago that I didn't want others' art on me. Just something to keep what I have personal. If I had a tattoo artist come up with something, like I did for the background of my half sleeve, that's something different and also unique to me. But I never wanted to have someone else's logo/idea on me. Just a personal preference.

I've drawn all of my tattoos with the exception of the background of my half sleeve, on which I deferred to my tattoo guy. I would have no problem letting them draw something for me if I hadn't done so already. I'd really like something Norse-related on my back, and since I never have the time anymore, should I ever decide to go forward with that, I might have my guy draw it for me. If I'm paying him thousands I might a well use his full skill set.

Couldn't agree more.  The best advice I ever got with respect to a tattoo is to make sure it is HIGHLY personal to you - nothing worse than being stuck with something (for life) that has the potential (or reality) of meaning jack shit in a few years.  That's why I won't tattoo my wife's name on me.  :neverusethis:

I've seen too many terrible ones in my years.

You don't say?  https://epictattoofailure.com/ says it all.

My next (and likely final) tattoo will be something that jingle.son draws.  He'll draw it, then I'll get an artist to replicate it, and skin me.  Not sure what or when, but that will be the plan sometime in the coming years.

Pretty much. I got really lucky, I got to the airport early, like 6 hours before my flight and I asked at the counter if they had anything earlier. They did and they didn't charge me the usual $50 fee. I got on a 1:20 flight to atlanta, I couldn't get on the 3:36 to tampa but I'm on the 4:50 to tampa so I had some drinks at the bar in the meantime.

The best part about the first flight was that not only was I able to get an earlier flight for free but it was delta comfort with more leg room and free drinks, and no one in the middle seat.

Louis CK is hilarious.  Definitely one of the best comedians out there.

Not sure you can judge a comedian by one clip pulled out of context on youtube.  I've never heard him use the "n" word without a reason - maybe the reason was given earlier in the performance or something, before that clip started.

And he certainly jokes about sex, but that is FAR from the only thing he jokes about.

If you nose around some of the more remote areas of the desert north of Las Vegas, say on highway 375, the little Street View guy is replaced by a flying saucer when you hold him over the map.

Good morning Krusty Krew.

I got a text last night from my boss telling me that a monthly report to management was due today by 8am. This report usually takes like 2 hours to put together... so I planned on coming in early to get it done.

Nope. Overslept.




But I was still able to pump it out and send out by 8:15. Because I am awesome.

Now I need caffeine.



Edit:

Also, Panda was rear ended last night on her way to bowling. There may be enough damage to call her car totalled, She was sitting in the right lane of the freeway in traffic (this particular lane is right before a bottleneck, and also leads into a very busy offramp... during peak times it is not unusual for it to back up half a mile) at a dead stop when a chick slammed into her. She it her so hard that she set up her own airbag. The damage to Panda's PT doesn't look bad cosmetically, but it is all in the bumper... and She swears its driving really funky now. fuck.

Thing is, the dealership is closer to home than work, so I had to really drive to get there (in the other direction from my house, so basically home, plus some, then back). Overall 50 miles round trip. Took an hour 45. Got food on my way back, hit no traffic, got back to the office, my boss hasn't left her office since I left. As far as she knows I've been here the whole time. Fuckin' 'ell.

Post by: Hyperplex on March 18, 2016, 12:36:42 PM
Oh yeah, definitely. My gripe was never with the work being done. I was just frustrated. And credit to the guys at the dealer, they could have just sent me home, only to have to come back with another check engine light. They did all that they could while still under warranty to make sure the car was perfect and all covered. At the time I got every phone call saying not today, maybe tomorrow, I was frustrated at the situation, but I can't fault them at all.

But man does it feel good to be back behind the wheel of my own car, with the proper power. The loaner they gave me had about half the power my car has.

Glad you had a great dealership experience.  The last time I had to deal with my dealer's service department was a train-wreck.

- transmission hugely slipping gears... mostly from 1st to 2nd
- take it in... I'm literally 400kms over the "suggested" time that a transmission flush is recommended.  So, that's what they do first.  I know that this is more than just a problem with old transmission fluid, but whatever
- 10 days later with repeated error codes they can't resolve, the finally get to the point of replacing the entire transmission.  Fortunately, I had a loaner the whole time.
- go to pick up the car, and they had the balls to try and charge me $370 for the transmission flush.  Are you fucking kidding me!?!?  You're going to charge me for a service that was A) not needed, B) not the problem, and C) something I'm not going to get any value out of because YOU REPLACED THE WHOLE FUCKING TRANSMISSION!

I will ONLY do warranty work at my dealer.  Everything else goes to "my" mechanic.  Been going there 15 years, and my wife for 20 years before that.  Never any problems with them.  Always 100% above board.

I had an A4 loaner. 220hp inline 4-cyilnder with quattro. Peppy, nice car but not mine.

I have an S4. Supercharged V6 uptuned to 400hp, with quattro and a 7-speed dual clutch S-tronic transmission.

Thanks, King. When a fever gets that high, all you are hoping for is that it doesn't get any higher because then it's an emergency room visit. It's much lower now, thankfully. She fell asleep a little while ago so I'm sure she'll sleep peacefully.

Airplane I kicks ass. Airplane II has nothing to do with ZAZ and sucks as a result. Its just a new film crew and the same script again.

Also when I was 9 or so my favourite TV show was Starman starring Robert Hays which was the tv show of the Jeff Bridges movie.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but: when writing posts, how do I attach a picture to a post? I'm not asking how I attach an image that's already on the web - I've already done that many times since I joined. I want to know how I can share a picture I have on my laptop which I haven't uploaded. I can't find any option (when I click on "Attachments and other options", all I get is some options about replies, smileys & return to topic).

Thanks a lot!
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese

You can't directly attach images to posts here, you need to upload them elsewhere and link to them.

It's funny; the cleaning crew likes to be in and out before anyone arrives in the morning. But if we do arrive, they leave like they just committed a heist. They all dump all their equipment into the back of their minivan, jump into their seats, and peel off like they just lifted a couple grand in cash. Seriously, you aren't going to vanish in a puff of smoke if we see you.

Oh, yeah! No problem about that - in fact, I prefer forums that way. It's just I saw the word "Attachments" in the options, so I thought I was missing something (like, you were given the possibility once you had a certain ammount of posts, or something).

Anyway, it's as easy as emailing the picture to yourself, and using that picture's link to attach in the post. Done!

Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: Hyperplex on March 22, 2016, 12:08:26 PM
Business casual is usually slacks or dress pants (i.e. not jeans) with a button up shirt. Polos are often okay but I wouldn't wear one on the first day. If you want to look sharp, throw on a blazer or sport coat. Dress socks and dress shoes. No sneakers or boots. Since it's "casual" you don't need a tie; an open collar is fine.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: JayOctavarium on March 22, 2016, 12:11:09 PM
I was hoping to get away with polos. My issues is I am having some...errr... financial trouble (Don't piss off the California Franchise Tax Board) and I don't think I will have the cash to go drop a bunch of money on new clothes until I get a few paychecks in. I literally only have a single pair of (dark Khaki?) pants, a couple very casual button up short sleeve shirts, a single black polo with a noticeable stain, and a nicer red long sleeve dress shirt.

I'm good on dress shoes though, as strange as it may seem.

Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: cramx3 on March 22, 2016, 02:14:23 PM
Maybe throw an outfit on a credit card so you have the first day good look and then once you see how everyone else is dressed you'll have a better idea if you need a new wardrobe or if you can get away wearing polo shirts.  If needed then slowly build up a wardrobe.

Elizabeth Mitchell did look pretty damned good in that Ice Queen dress on Once Upon a Time. :lol Although of the main cast, Lana Parrilla is more my type.

As for Lost, I'm not sure I could choose a favourite between Elizabeth Mitchell or Evangeline Lilly. Or even Maggie Grace.

Evangeline Lilly is beautiful and I do like Maggie Grace, but she was much better in Californication.

You should totally mess around with that stuff. We have a crapload of routers and switches that we aren't using. We have a room filled with extra equipment that they will probably never do anything with. I should set something up in one of the labs just for fun.

I read Tolkien more than I watch. And I'm quite sick of all the rubbish created by The Hobbit movies. I see things online about the histories of the characters and such like Azog, Tauriel, and Thranduil and it just irks the fuck out of me how much PJ and all them butchered the storyline in those movies.

I might need to reread The Silmarillion and Lost Tales etc again soon.

My thoughts exactly.  We were bummed that they hadn't made a Philly date, so that's why we chose Foxborough.  Then later on, they set a date for Philly.  It turns out that it's one of the ones that's now going to be rescheduled or whatever they're doing.  Had we waited for Philly, we would've missed Brian Johnson.

Hey there John!
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: Prog Snob on March 28, 2016, 05:48:54 AM
What's up, Jay? How are you doing?
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: JayOctavarium on March 28, 2016, 06:00:48 AM
I'm doing ok.

I have been doing a ton of research on Adult ADHD. I was diagnosed with ADHD as a teen, and my stepmother took it as a joke. She actually allowed me to be prescribed meds for it (non stimulants), but pulled me off of them after only a month because she didn't see results. (I started to see them but what the fuck did I know? - at least that was her view on it).

My life has been slowly going down hill. A lot of it has to do with my lack of  ability organize or even FOCUS on shit for me than a few minutes. A lot of people I know say Adult ADHD is a myth. It really isn't. If you look at the symptoms of Adult ADHD-PI (Predominately inattentive), I fit the bill 110%. Reading about other people's struggles have also helped me. I am doing what I can to read up on strategies to get my life back in order. Hell... the financial issues I have been having can also be linked to my inability to follow through on shit and staying organized.

As soon as I get my health insurance with this new job going,  am going to go in and speak with a Dr.  about getting put back on something. I cannot afford to keep going the direction this is going.

And this isn't just a "self diagnosis on a whim" thing (as my friend put it). I have been doing more and more research on it. I have even listened to 4 hours worth of lectures by one of the top Psychiatric Doctors in the country on the subject.  Hell, even my emotional ups and downs are textbook.

I am just desperate to get my life together. 
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: Prog Snob on March 28, 2016, 06:07:58 AM
Do NOT be desperate, Jay. When you're in that state, you'll do basically anything to get fixed. Take it from someone who did whatever he could to fix himself, but only succeeded in making himself much worse. Don't just jump at the chance to take medication without knowing what you're taking. Ask questions. Someone can't say adult ADHD is a myth because whatever affliction it is that you have is obviously real. Don't go so mixed up in titles, though. Doctors like to capriciously throw those around. One psychiatrist I went to said I was bi-polar, but a different one said that was impossible. Based on what I know about bi-polar, I agreed with the second doctor. My issues are severe anxiety and strong empathic qualities. Everything I have comes from those two things. Just make sure you're getting diagnosed properly and whoever you talk to understands what you need to get better.

I should't stay "desperate"

But I do wanna try to get my shit in order. I do plan on going the proper routes and, if I am told it's something different, I will go with that. I do know what my issues are though and I know when I was taking Strattera (which is a non stimulant med, unlike Adderal and Ridalin... fuck spelling.. lol, which are basically speed) I was able to keep myself together. My first step is go get in to see someone regarding it.

For now, do some research about using natural herbs, at least until your insurance kicks in. If you want, I can look into it also. Is it just ADHD?

Blob, you ADHD? Nah


With this new job starting, I am going to have to focus on shit. Currently where I am, This come and go so quickly and there are so many things going on at once sometimes that it keeps my stimulated enough to do it... and when I have an actual  incident that I have to investigate, I tend to get obsessive and hyper focused, which helps a lot.. but this office job is going to be the complete opposite. It's scary.

ADHD - PI


I'm more focused on tips and tricks from others with it to keep myself focused. I have spent the last couple hours researching ways to keep my mind focused. A lot of it is what I already do.


If you get a chance, research ADHD and it's effect on the brain. It's fascinating.

I've done some research on ADHD and I'm convinced I have it as well. Focus has always been a huge struggle for, even with things that I like. For example I love riding my motorcycle but the moment I get on I start thinking of something else I want to do. I'll start playing a video game but then immediately want to do something else. It's like that in all aspects of my life. Focus past 30 minutes doesn't really exist in my world.

Here are a couple of articles that mention non-prescription options. There have been extensive studies done on the effect that L-Tyrosine has on those with ADHD. Other herbs such as ginkgo, gotu kola, and red ginseng have also been used successfully.  Remember, using herbs is the same as with anything. It's not always going to work in everyone since we are all different and everybody processes things differently. When you do your research, make sure wherever you get information from is not based on junk/pseudoscience.

I was reading on this and taking notes but got distracted by DTF.

So far a lot of strategies on staying organized and apps for  time management and routines. Essentially I've learned that the best way to combat it is through setting up strict routines. It's almost like anti OCD... Have to force myself to almost become OCD because following a routine (even down to where I put my wallet and keys down when I get home every day) is the best way not to forget anything. The issue is forcing myself to follow the routine.

Start picking things up.
Find a glass which needs to be washed.
Wash glass.
Notice that there are more dishes to be done.
Do dishes.
Go back to room. Sit down to figure out what I'm going to do next.
Phone goes off. Read text. Notice Email from work.
Open up laptop (now all bets are off). Read and reply to email.
Go on Reddit.
Realize I need to piss.
Get up to take a piss.
Trip over trash bag.
Take trash out.
While down stairs, remember I need to pull cat litter up from garage.
Grab Litter
Change cat box.
Receive another text.
Go on reddit on phone.
Phone dying.
Go into living room, plug it in
Realize that Laptop should be put back on charger. Do so.
Open up laptop again just to check battery.
Realize I have Chrome open still. Hey look! Reddit!
Realize I've been sitting here for an hour... and I started my room 2.5 hours ago.
Say "fuck it".

I have a shit memory for certain types of information, but excellent at other things. I appear to have no memory for random words, eg. proper nouns. I can watch a TV show for years and still struggle to name the main characters.
But I have a great memory for things I've done/experienced.
That's why I learn badly from just reading about something, but I learn it well if it's something I've done or seen.

Working memory vs long term memory (I don't remember the technical term for the second one)

I know this is probably not the best way to describe it (because I am a tech tard) but it's like I am a computer with a really fast single core processor and huge hard drive but very little ram. I can't process a ton of info at once. I have to take it in chunks.

Or juggling. I can throw a single ball in the air and catch it. Or I can throw multiple balls in the air one at a time and catch them... but if I tried to do it all at once.. I'd drop everything... say FUCK IT... and walk away.

I would hate your job. I can't sit in meetings all day. I get really antsy.

I have one hour long meeting a week and it's more than enough.  I'm so glad my boss doesn't make me sit in on meetings.  So counter productive for me, plus I have a real hard time sitting still sometimes unless I am really engaged, which I never am in these boring meetings.

I got a puncture a couple of weeks ago. The slime kept the tyre hard for a while - but now the valve is busted so i just bought a new tube.

That's pretty much how I feel. I told my boss to let someone else go to the meeting. We have 65,000 employees. Surely someone else can deal with it.  I became a computer tech so I wouldn't have to deal with people and meetings.  :lol

I'm trying to orient a 3D null object to point towards another object, and the only way I can think of is using a LookAt constraint, which does the job except I don't want the LookAt constraint permanent because it overrides the rotational transform, but I can't find a way to keep the calculated rotation after deleting the constraint even if I try setting a keyframe. Dangit. :blob:

I was actually considering seeing Disturbed and Breaking Benjamin this summer when they play 5 minutes away from me.  I was going to wait until 5 minutes before the show to nab really cheap lawn seats.... not because I am a fan, but because going to concerts are fun and if its cheap and easy then why not.... but I just found my why not.  I can't support someone who calls out a fan during the concert for using their phone, and then being a dick about it.

Yes. I went to my dentist once because my entire jaw was in serious agony. He found nothing wrong with me but x rayed me and showed me that my sinuses were really swollen and suggested

some decongestant spray. The next day there was no pain at all. At least I know what it is for future. Like this time - I had toothache in a root canal so there's no verve there...So it had to be sinuses

playing up.

You ought to go to an ENT doc. If you overuse the decongestant spray you can get rebound inflammation that is even worse than what you took the spray to treat.

Yeah I don't do that either. I'm very aware of these concerns. If the instructions say " take x times a day for no longer than y days "

Then I basically halve x and y.

Same with anti inflammatory medication ( ibuprofen for example ). You're not supposed to take more than 6 in 24 hours. I take 4 maximum. And several several hours apart.

For example. I don't want to take medication for the sake of it. I don't want to become immune or dependant on it.

You ought to go to an ENT doc. If you overuse the decongestant spray you can get rebound inflammation that is even worse than what you took the spray to treat.

Treebeard?

Would you have preferred I say otolaryngologist?

And no, not Treebeard. The appointment wouldn't be over for 74 years.

They would need to have an Entmoot.

I'm still kicking myself for not sticking around when I saw Maiden + DT in 2010. My buddies and I were not Maiden fans at all... so we left 3 songs into the Maiden set. We actually wound up going to Hooters and having a blast but that's another story.

Literally 2 months later I got into Maiden.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: BlobVanDam on March 30, 2016, 10:17:53 PM
I saw Maiden a couple of years ago. I'm not a huge IM fan, but it was a great show, Dickinson was sounding great, and the stage production was cool. It was probably the softest volume gig I've been to, so the sound was really good and clear, and I could actually hear everything. My favourite venue too (which they've just knocked down, or are about to).

So I'm pretty annoyed, because I wrote my exams on the 22nd of February and even though, by law, the results have to be published at the latest a month after the exam, they are still not out.

I mean, I guess I could sue, but I doubt that's a way to make many friends among my professors. :P So I'll just be annoyed.

Not bad specs for a laptop, and I like Asus. I got my budget laptop at the end of 2014, and the specs are basically half of everything there. I only use it for browsing the internet, watching videos, regular shmuck stuff. It's not useful for much more than that.

This is my first time with an ASUS laptop. I like they're other products, so I figured I'd give them a try. I can't really complain about them. This is something I have to figure out. Or just install an older version of Linux. Apparently it's only an issue with some version 4 kernels (4.1, 4.2, 4,4). 

I was using it before I went to install Linux and it was super fast.

I've been anti-Dell since forever. :lol 

Funny, Dell just took me out to lunch.  I hate Dell too though. Also, I am an ASUS fan.  I had an old laptop that was great and then I use ASUS motherboards for my PC builds.

I've generally used ASUS motherboards for my builds, except the last one. That time I tried a Gigabyte motherboard and I thought it was a solid product.

I always used Gigabyte motherboards (for about a decade) and always liked them. There was a time when they seemed to be plagued by capacitor problems for a little while, but they got that sorted out. My last one survived 5 years before I retired it, but it still worked.
I switched to ASRock for my most recent motherboard, and it's been running for almost 5 years with no complaints.

My main rig is a gigabyte board. I've always been an Asus guy but I'm pretty happy with this board right now.

Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: JayOctavarium on April 02, 2016, 06:47:16 PM
Ok.

So the other lead and I noticed yesterday that there was a open shift on the schedule for today (3p-11p). Turns out it was an open shift that my supervisor had known about for a week or so (the dude who was going to work it is going to Vegas for 2 weeks for training with the other company he works with or whatever. Not a big deal as he is a filler). and neglected to fill it. We noticed this an hour before the end of our shift... after a some calls and braintstorming, we decided I'll just stay late today (work from 7a-7p) to cover half the shift, and we just need to find someone else to cover the rest. 4 hours. Seems simple.

Nope. I even texted my supervisor (who was working a night shift last night) to ask him to talk to some of the night guys and see if someone would be willing to pick it up. I never got a response.

I came in this morning to find that my supervisor called out last night. Ok. So someone had to work late to cover him last night. Fuck.

So I spend the day trying to find coverage (as well as reorganize the office and shit). Finally I get a guy to come in a little early to cover the shift (still leaving a 2 hour gap in coverage... where we are supposed to have 3 but will only have 2 on.. which is better than having 2 hours with only 1 on...) Sweet.

Then I get a call from a night guy saying he's sick and won't be coming in. The dude has a stellar track record. I know he isn't bullshitting me.  So I call my supervisor to ask if he wants to come in and make up some of the hours he lost (he calls out A LOT). He gave me this long thing about being tired (he owns a martial arts studio) and spending time with his wife and shit and he can't do it.

Umm... 2/4 schedule issues over the past 36 hours have been due to him (we had another issue yesterday morning but that was solved). You don't just shrug it off when I come to you and ask for help. I'm missing out on a bowling tournament to cover this shift. The idea was also thrown out there to have me come back in at 3am tonight to cover half of the shift (Not suggested by my supervisor but by the other lead who's on with me right now).  Umm.. I am not going to work 7am-7pm, and then come back 8 hours later and work 3am-3pm. FUCK THAT.

The mindset my supervisor has had as of late has been "Oh well..". Don't get me wrong... He is a great guy.. a great friend.. but he has been severely lacking here as of late. I do my job 110%. I don't mind covering some of his duties but there are times when I CAN'T do some of this shit and he needs to step up and do his damn job. I am sacrificing to be here. I can't be the only one.

Yes, I know I am out of here full time in less than a month (gonna stick around for weekends for a few months)... and people tell me I should just say "Fuck it"... but that's not how I am.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: ReaperKK on April 02, 2016, 06:56:59 PM
That is really shitty Jay.

So what happens to your supervisor if you couldn't cover the 3a-3p shift, or if you couldn't cover the the additional hours?
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: BlobVanDam on April 02, 2016, 07:15:42 PM
Jay, that sucks. Lazy fucks. Lucky that you won't have to deal with it much longer.

Not much seeing as we are understaffed.  If we have to leave the shift open (with just 1 guy), it is what it is. It is just frustrating knowing that I am the only one worried about it and doing something about it.
Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: ReaperKK on April 02, 2016, 08:02:47 PM
True but then there comes a time where you've called everyone and you've made yourself as available as possible. If you're not the main supervisor of the place then it falls on his/her hands.

Jay... that's shyte.  It's hard always being the person/employee that 'cares' the most, when people around you barely have a single fuck to give.  Kudo's to you for sticking to your principles.   :tup

Gonna be a lazy, do fuck-all day for the entire jingle.family.  It was a brutal week at work for me; mrs.jingle was crazy busy with her "work" things too (I use finger quotes because it's work, but it's not a job that she get's paid for ... it's hard to explain); yesterday was a busy day for all of us, doing a Habitat for Humanity build that mrs.jingle and jingle.daughter were coordinating with a group of about 25 people involved.  I was part of the build.  Fun stuff, but like I said... crazy day.

Gotta pay the bills, and get some dog-food.  Other than that... not much else.

The closing date is May 24th which is when my gf would move up. I'd probably move the first week of June because of work here.

Now we still have until the 13th for our due diligence period. We can back out and only lose $500 which is a good option because we haven't even seen the house in person.

We are also meeting with a builder that we've wanted to meet with to have a home a built in September, if the price is roughly the same then we will go with a newly built house over this home.

I bought 2 new pair of jeans.  One of the belt loops broke and the zipper did as well.  So I've got to travel back to my old hometown where I bought them tomorrow to get them replaced.

The closing date is May 24th which is when my gf would move up. I'd probably move the first week of June because of work here.

Now we still have until the 13th for our due diligence period. We can back out and only lose $500 which is a good option because we haven't even seen the house in person.

We are also meeting with a builder that we've wanted to meet with to have a home a built in September, if the price is roughly the same then we will go with a newly built house over this home.

I went to grab the back of the jeans and pulled one loop by accident and it ripped but it wasn't a hard tug so it was faulty.  Then, god knows the zipper.  I don't even know how that happened.

My insurance guy was my next door neighbor growing up as a kid so he cuts corners for me to lower the costs.

I just lowered my Verizon bill by $75. 

My phone is a company phone so I'm lucky there but my wife is around that cost.  It's worth it for Verizon's network.  Their reception is the best.

Well I got my renewal bill for my old car insurance and once again they raised the rate despite our records being clean. The reason was "inflation". So I called around and got some quotes and GEICO is very highly rated in Maryland and the exact same coverage, same values, amounts, everything, was literally, and I do mean literally, 1/5th the price I was paying. ONE FIFTH! Done and done.

My cell phone is a different service. I would love to switch to Verizon once my Sprint contract is up. I get a discount through Sprint and Verizon through my job so even though I've been with Sprint for about 15 years, I still want to switch. Verizon's service is so much better from what I've seen.

Thats why you got to shop.  Insurance gets expensive when you stick with the same company sadly, you'd think they give you a better rate the longer you stay with them.  I left Geico for Travelers.  Saved a ton of money.  In 5 years maybe I should call Geico and get a better deal.

It's so much simpler. All of the unit prefixes are standard and simple, everything is in powers of 10, and it relates completely different units of measurement in ways that make it easy and practical to use every day.
I think the US is too set in its ways to bother to change now though.

It's just a matter of what's already familiar to people, because I think objectively the metric system is much easier than the US system. I use the old system when working from old blueprints because I find it best to work in native units, and it's a complete pain in the ass to work with even just for basic feet/inches/fractions of an inch.
I think the US just went about switching wrong, and didn't stick with it.

So my wife put in for days off 2 months in advance and because they are shorthanded they denied her request. Though my wife's boss is going on vacation for 2 weeks. She  got a meeting with the store manager and her boss and told them she's tired of this happening to her through management changes over 8 years there.

So she told them we bought the concert tickets, booked the hotel and she is going. She brought up how flexible she is with working days and nights, weekends,  changing shifts for them and staying late yet the ones they have trouble with never have issues with time off.  They rely too much on her.

2 days off shouldn't be a big deal. I know you've mentioned her getting a hard time taking time off before, Joe. It sucks working for assholes. I realized a long time ago that the two most important things to people are their schedules and their time off. If you can meet them even half way on these, they will do whatever you want. People's lives need to be in order, and if they know you are helping them achieve that, they will be committed to you.

As a manager it passes me off seeing mismanagement.   If we are struggling to get positions filled it's up to us to take care of filling that position if the employees gives us ample time for days off. This management team is relying too much on the good workers and putting stress on them instead of bettering the ones around them that need to meet standards.

Plus get cracking on the hiring process.   You also can put feelers to other stores to see if someone wants to pick up hours. Common management sense.

When I stepped down a couple of years ago, I made a promise to myself to not nit pick how a guy runs his store. The first guy I worked for would lose his mind over things I would definitely look the other way on, but let go things that I never would. No biggie. He was still a good manager. But the guy who replaced him, who I work for now, is a total douchebag. I know how hard I worked as a store manager, and this guy makes a mockery out of the position.
We've actually been going at it pretty good over the last couple of weeks.

I did not.  It's so fasted paced that it's from 11 am to 11 pm.  If I get the schedule, there is an hour and 1/2 between sets.  There are plenty of  restaurant/bars there if you can make the drive.

Raw bars very often serve raw clams next to the raw oysters. Personally, I'm not a fan of raw clams; I prefer them steamed and served with drawn butter. Raw oysters, however, are absolutely delicious. A little cocktail sauce and a dash of Tabasco and I could down 2 dozen easily. Damn they are good. Oddly enough, I don't like cooked oysters very much, unless they are on a Po' Boy.

It must be. I can eat dozens at a time, with a squeeze of lemon and tabasco sauce.

I love raw oysters but I have never heard of raw clams either.

That's really odd, but I guess it's relative, right? 

Raw bars very often serve raw clams next to the raw oysters. Personally, I'm not a fan of raw clams; I prefer them steamed and served with drawn butter. Raw oysters, however, are absolutely delicious. A little cocktail sauce and a dash of Tabasco and I could down 2 dozen easily. Damn they are good. Oddly enough, I don't like cooked oysters very much, unless they are on a Po' Boy.

I don't like anything cooked with butter. The thought of it makes me cringe. Though I do love baked clams, I prefer them raw.

When I see clams, they are in linguini or some other pasta or they are fried.

Title: Re: DTF Chat Thread v. Kinginese
Post by: Hyperplex on April 08, 2016, 08:44:41 AM
Okay so I just have to share this little tidbit of a story from yesterday:

Had a meeting late in the afternoon with my boss to go over some email marketing designs for an upcoming summit we host. As we are going through these meetings, there is a lot of collaboration between the two of us, with ideas, suggestions, and opinions being thrown around. She often leans over my shoulder and points at things on my screen and asks my opinion, etc.

So as we are sitting there working on an email, we are analyzing and pondering the messages we are using, assessing how effective they would be in enticing our target audience to sign up and register for the summit. As we are pondering, she says, out loud, her face right to next to mine as we both were looking at my monitor:

"These emails are looking good, but...will any of them make me come?"



I don't think I've had a more difficult time NOT reacting to something in my life. I stifled a smirk, a chuckle, I even avoided looking at her out of the corner of my eye. I know exactly what she meant: will any of the messages get our targets to come to the summit. She was, however, completely unaware of any double entendre or innuendo. I kept waiting for her to nudge me or say something like, "Did ya hear what I said? Ooops!" but nope...completely clueless.

I went home and told my wife and we laughed for a good 10 minutes about it. It's easily the most flagrant unintended double entendre I have ever witnessed.

Very sure. She is not that kind of person and there was absolutely no suggestion or anything in her voice. She was thinking out loud, and that is the line she chose to say, instead of, for example, "would any of these make me want to register?"

I used to work with a guy who was young but very serious about his "sincerely held religious beliefs"; so much so that every Monday he had to reassert the sermon he heard in church the previous day. One day, while I was quietly listening to some music, Sixpounder by Children of Bodom came on (for those unfamiliar, the end of the chorus goes "six-six-sixpounder"). He took me aside and calmly asked me to never play that song again because he didn't want Satan being summoned into the office. At first I laughed because I thought he was making a joke, but then his eyes got big and he started sweating and he quietly said he was dead serious, he can't go home after being in the presence of the devil.

I admire his dedication (I mean, kind of), but it is misguided.  The number of the beast is not just three sixes in a row "6-6-6" but rather it is 666, i.e. six hundred sixty six (or actually, in some variant manuscripts, 616, six hundred sixteen).

Nothing wrong with three sixes in a row.

Tab short for tablature.

I saw tablature of the solo.

No "a" required.

So my gf and I just saw the house that we were under contract for today. What a disappointment, the home was beautiful on the outside but really terrible on the inside. All the cabinets (which are gorgeous) have holes drilled in them for baby proofing, most cabinets have multiple holes because they missed the first time securing the locks. The carpet looks 10 years old and is torn and beat up and it's only a year old. The banister is ruined and the house is just trashed. It's only a year old but looks weather and runndown. We aren't going to buy it and look for another home which sucks because we are out of $500 but he amount to bring this house up to shape is going to be too much.

Just popular music alone, the 90s had better songs.  As far as obscure bands, the 90s was when prog and power metal really made a breakthrough.

Wow dude, there would be no scenario where I'm taking the 90's over the 80's. It's cool though.

Ditto. The '90s was great for TV though!

We aren't going to buy it and look for another home which sucks because we are out of $500 but he amount to bring this house up to shape is going to be too much.

You mentioned a contract, so that $500 might be lost due to whatever legal obligation you entered.  But sometimes you can get that money back with some heartfelt conversation.  I was able to get back a deposit on two separate occasions (separated by about 7 years) by simply letting them know something changed that caused an unplanned hardship (medical emergency in the family).  In a sense, don't put the blame on the other party (because if it is legal, they are refunding solely on their own discretion).  Perhaps mention all the positives about the house, talk about how you love the beauty of the house and are actually looking forward to making it your own but it would be a financial hardship for you personally to do so.  It is an honest answer, doesn't put any blame on them and stresses that you actually want to make it work but just know your income level would make it difficult to properly give the house the attention it deserves.

Now you may have already gone through all of this, but if not, it doesn't hurt to try.  If the person on the other end is immovable, then you really haven't lost anything and you can still part on good terms.  Maybe even give them a parting "I really envy the person that gets this house."

Thanks for the tip. The $500 is our due diligence fee. Really from the outside the house was gorgeous and the pictures were gorgeous. We live in Florida so we couldn't see it so we had to make an offer on pictures alone. We flew up this weekend and like I said, these guys trashed the house. We looked at a bunch of homes before even put on offer in on one house a few months ago at list price. The sellers came back and wanted more than list (never heard of that happening). We have a few meetings lined up to see some other new construction homes today.

So, I'm applying for jobs again; not because my district is screwing me over, but I can't do this crazy year again. I'm at 4 different schools every 4 days and my schedule is different every day; 2 schools start earlier than the other 2, which means I'm done at 2 different times... it takes me over an hour to get there and usually over an hour and 15 minutes to get home, if not longer due to rush hour traffic. Not to mention I usually have to take the tollway to and from work, adding to even more expenses... with everything taken out, especially insurance, which the premium went up in January, I'm making way less than I have in a long time, and it's causing immense financial pressure. I'm so behind on so many bills it's not even funny.

I hate adulting.

I had 2 interviews this past week which was my spring break, so hopefully that's a good sign. We will just have to wait and see.

Pretty much left the house in a rage today because I couldn't find my tax return check from the state that I received over the weekend. I was planning on depositing it into my bank account and paying off my Amex card.

Victoria just sent me a picture of the check covered in buffalo chicken marinade. It was at the very bottom of our kitchen garbage can. I'm not quite sure what to do with the check now. Everything is still readable on it, and it's completely in tact, it's just covered in salmonella.

Temps over the weekend were really low, with the snow hitting the region on Saturday. Today, we are forecast to reach 68, then back down to 58 tomorrow and Wednesday, and then back into the 60s for the rest of the week til we hit the 70s next week. However, over the course of the past 4 days (Fri through today) we have seen upwards of 20° of temperature fluctuation. I work with a girl whose asthma pretty much cripples her whenever there is that much of a temp/weather shift so suddenly. She's a mess.

So after a super long weekend being incredibly disappointed with the house we were under contract for (house number 2 so far) and terminating the contract we went with a new home builder. Already put the down payment and signed the contract. Closing date September 23rd. The house is brand new, designed exactly how we like it however we have to fly back to Charlotte within 2 weeks to picks floors and finishing. I'm so tired of traveling.

Looks like another summer in Florida but I'm happy, we get a brand new house.

So, was helping set up the new employees computer last week, determined we needed a three-pronged extension cord so all components could reach. Requested it and it was ordered by the office manager. Package arrives, turns out she ordered a three OUTLET cord, not three-pronged, so it has to go back. Office manager spends much of this morning running errands, including purchasing an extension cord.

She comes back with a power strip. I already had a power strip. I needed an extension cord. She hands it to me and says, "this time you get what you need. I can't find anything that matches what you describe."

So I went, with the company card of course, and grabbed the very first thing I saw; a 12-foot, three-pronged extension cord.

For an office manager, no, it shouldn't be.  Some people are just irreparably broken in the head when it comes to these kinds of things.  My wife will admit that she's not really very up on electronics type stuff like this, but if I asked her to grab a 3-pronged extension cord, she'd come back with a 3-pronged extension cord.  So yeah, your co-workers might be electronics-impaired.

I kept bugging him for 3  6' USB extension cables, as well as a splitter so I could rearrange things in a more... logical and convenient.

He asks me to find EXACTLY what I need and send him links. I do.  a week letter he drops off 3 3' USB extenders and says that's all he could find.

I made it work for months. Until he left and my direct supervisor received a company card. We had another issue with the computer and he had to go out and pick up a USB splitter (Just everyone ignore the fact I was asking for one half a year ago). He had to of course get permission from the owner of the company. We called him on speaker and asked about that and then I also told him we are having issues with yadda yadda and asked if we could pick up more extenders. He said told us he trusts my judgment and told my supervisor to pick up anything that I think we may need to fix the issue.

2 hours later... it was fixed and every one was happy. And not more fucking tripping over mouse cables.

Agreed.  I thought he was getting slightly better, but he wasn't getting the hint (and by hint I mean, flat out being told to stop multiple times).

Had an idea for a film...

A spy who is hired for a job because he looks identical to the president or leader of a country. He's supposed to go in and spy on them and gain intelligence but in the end you find out it WAS him all

along and he was getting intelligence on the good guys.

She has been in numerous movies but I first saw her on Once Upon A Time as Aurora, who is basically Sleeping Beauty. She Irish, so she has a sweet accent. She was also in The Tudors and Spiderwick Chronicles.

Well now I can finally sit down and enjoy my first office coffee.

Got in and my WiFi on my computer was dead. Figures because the guy my boss pays to "manage" our network was in yesterday and he must have bolloxed something up because my WiFi had no outbound IP, yet all wired connections were fine. So I had to spend a half hour rerouting my cables so I could hardwire into the network, which worked out but was a pain in the ass, and then before I could sit down, I had to help someone remove a monitor from her set up and then help someone unjam a stapler.

Now I can actually work.
