@travisdh1 said in What did you have for lunch or dinner today?:

Veggies and apple sauce again.... don't go diabetic, your diet gets really boring. Hopefully not bland if you know how to use spices, but definitely boring.

This... Not so much

Hahah

dd a live system to make it a VM and is okay with data corruption so long as he can get the VM to boot.

hahaha.. . . .

It's just a freaking mad house. . .

dd? Would use rsync for this, so a file-level copy, not a bit-copy.

Just guessing.

Just drowned my smartphone an hour ago... Everything is still working, but there is some water between the display and the cover. Let's hope that lots of rice and silica packages will suck the water out of it.

Quiet morning. Very quiet. No mails. No messages.

I wonder how humankind managed to survive before ~1990.

RIP Xperia Z3... Everything still working, even touch, but the screen doesn't turn on. Dried (rice / silica) and cleaned (99,9% propan-2-ol aka isopropyl alcohol) everything, but still no luck.

A new screen is ~ $70 and I'm not sure if the screen is broken or some cable / controller.

Deploying applications with SCCM.

Oh, so you are a masochist?

I guess Steam needs to let go at least a few employees in case you stop to hoard games someday.

Three pack of charging cords on Amazon with Prime. Just ordered a set.

You know, the problem with most Amazon deals is that they only look like good deals:
10x 1m (with nylon) for 11 EUR: http://www.ebay.de/itm/like/182121838414?lpid=106&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true

Didn't search, was just the first hit on Google.

but they're only 1m long...so 3ft - If there were 5x2m, or longer, then I'd be interested...

Was just the first Google hit. Saw other bundles with 5x2m for the same price. Just search for "nylon microUSB"

Have you played it before? It is SO good.

I really liked the Original and the 2nd one. Haven't had the ability to play the 3rd yet.

The 3rd one is awesome. Story-wise, the first one was the best, followed by the third. Didn't like part two much. Gameplay-wise, it just got better from part to part.

@thwr I watched this video before, he makes some really cool blades from the comics.

Yeah, that guy is pretty much awesome.

Looking at fun future Coly-centric promotions.

Swag involved?

Coly totally has swag. He's the king of swagger.

Oh, you meant swag. Possibly.

I should really tell you about the meaning of hard requirements in project planning

@thwr I'm so confused.

Why?

The video is just odd, like why is she rolling around in a puddle of dirty water?

Because it's a voodoo ceremony? Your next question is probably: "How is that related to an Apple event" -> Religon

Really like something "Adam and Eve"-style.

Without any leafes.

:(. It snowed over night. First snow this year and we never got a heavy frost at all this year!

Aaaahhhhh it burns my eyes! Keep it away from me

(Frozen) water burns your eyes? Just curious: When was the last time you took a shower?

It's the frozen falling from the sky sub-zero celsius kind that I am allergic to

I'm more the winter type. You can easily wear another shirt, but have you ever tried to get out of your skin at 45°C?

My friend, you need to try skinny dipping in a lake.

100% 10/10 would recommend

Lived there a few years ago (I think I already said that before, but who cares): https://www.google.de/maps/place/Grubenstraße,+23879+Mölln/@53.6288808,10.6829053,1983m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x47b20073553bd8ab:0xf7cebbf74f5cbcce!8m2!3d53.6287076!4d10.6907654

Got home and saw that my wife disassembled the room where I HAD my office (a small room where our PCs are).

She mentioned that the room could need some fresh colors a few months ago. Guess that's what one would call "little signs in marriage".

There are lots of cool projects out there. What about some more pyrotechnics?
