Getting Chromebooks ready for tomorrow. Rolling over peoples 401k's and they don't even own a computer. <smh>

Why do they need a computer now? There isn't a form they can fill out and have some keyboard monkey enter the changes?

Keyboard monkeys cost more then chromebooks.

Morning all y'all!

Busy week here so far. Not too cold yet... Woke up to 29F this morning. My gas bill is going to suck if this lasts much longer, lol.

Mine already sucks and it hasn't even been cold for very long. But my power bill is only a third of what it was all summer.

We bought 7 tons of coal this year... haven't even burned through 1 ton yet. Still early in the season but that's promising.

Is that for your house? I didnt know people even burned coal, I thought that was just at power plants or something.

We live in upstate NY. It's a very inexpensive (although not very green or clean) source of heat.

@DustinB3403 - Yeah i'm going to replace the HDMI and just say off you go for this example.
In future all departments have been told anything that needs network connections or will be connected to WiFi (as we know it'll be us that goes to fix it) must be approved by us and shown what things will be mounted and what.

@coliver - That was an example as it was next to me

Got it. As @DustinB3403 said many of them either have build in mounting locations or they provide zip tie loops for things that can't be easily mounted.

@DustinB3403 said in Gaming - What's everyone playing / hosting / looking to play:

I started TorchLight 2 yesterday, for an older game its not bad. I haven't gotten very far along in it though.

I really enjoy the Torchlight franchise. There is talks about doing a Torchlight MMO.... not sure how far that went.

I can't even figure where punctuation should go to make that sign make sense.

I had to read it a half dozen times to figure out what they were trying to say.

@black3dynamite said in What Are You Watching Now:

Black Mirror: Bandersnatch is movie that you can interact with. You have two options to choose from when presented.

It's really good. I got 4 of the 5 major endings and probably watched it for 2.5-3 hours. Some of the ending are a bit meh but others really felt like a Black Mirror episode.

If you didn't watch the video... Things really spiraled out of control, ha ha.

Man... I could just keep watching that video. It's oddly satisfying. Really pulls you in.

@coliver I was about to order some online, does it really taste nothing like whipped cream with peanut butter cups?

Nothing like it. My sister bought some for the holidays. It tastes like burnt caramel and cardboard.

It's even more insane and complex than that because initially the middle part of the year wasn't even technically on the calendar at all, they just realigned the calendar at certain parts of the year and much of the summer was just an inter-calendar period. Adding months was initially a way to try to transition to a proper calendar, because they were in some sort of weird space between a lunar calendar (which is why it was 10 months originally) and a solar calendar (which is why they began skipping summer).

There were other month names though, Quintilis (Quintember) used to be the name for July (Julius) so he wasn't responsible for creating that month, in fact it was named that after his death. August was name Sextilis (Sextember) a name which I think we can all agree should have stuck around.

That explains why there are so many April and May babies.
