Shit I even have an older server at my house that I can't use for my lab any more.

If you wanted a server to lab with, come get it.

Will it be compatible with my BSL-4 lab? I got some mad scientist projects I'm working on.

sure?

Here I am in my BSL-4 lab posting to Mangolassi. Gotta protect yourself from hackers.

@tonyshowoff I did say a Brave in italics.

Well that's emphasis, quotes would be sarcasm. But I'm sure you "knew" that.

See, seems much more jerky.

Sadly.... sort of...

I went on a roller coaster exactly once, and change fell out of my pockets. Never again. Plus it was boring and expensive, and they got even more money out of me.

Hey a Brave person would've walked past that no entrance sign to find their change!

Let me use my fantastic memory to recall 11 or so years ago when a teenage boy tried to do just that, instead get his hat, and instead a girl on the roller coaster hit him, knocked his head totally off, and it destroyed her leg so much she had to have some of it amputated.

Sincerely,
Sir Buzzkillington

Now who wants to hear a story about a bridge?

fighting a wordpress plugin

grrrr

Remove it

Or just remove the entire thing. I got so sick of how utterly crappy WordPress was that I started charging 4x (I usually charge about $110 per hour normally) my rate just for WordPress, slowly my WordPress requests began falling off and I've never been happier. Until recently where I made it clear I was accepting no new projects at all since I'm working on some other big things, I still got the occasional WP request even at such a massive rate. What a huge turd, but made some OK money, but the headaches, my god the headaches.

Only coffee this AM... On a side bar (pardon the pun), some people - I won't mention names here to protect the guilty - Have been giving me a hard time about drinking milk. I like milk. I find it refreshing and delicious. I do, however, drink quite a bit of milk. Usually in large glasses. That said, are there others here that are milk drinkers too?

Hell yes, milk is refreshing.

I find it the opposite. I don't dislike milk, but I want a water afterwards.

Must be seacow milk, ... you know, because of the salt water.... yeah I went there.

As the person who owns all those sock puppet accounts and is the true genius behind all of their knowledge, let me say: you're welcome.

FF: seitan

Chrome as well, at least with British English, it tries to correct to "senorita" sans tilde

@Reid-Cooper the Dallas world aquarium

@scottalanmiller It's a great image, but why do people always insist on adding that crying laughing emoji to stuff? The crappier version is 3 crying laughing emojis and something like "i can't breathe!!!!"

@Reid-Cooper said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

@jmoore What aquarium are you at?

I always hope for generic and strange names like "Ricky's Sea Emporium and Fantastic Go Kart Track"

I drink about 4 litres per week, mostly with my work out powder

I wish I had ring dings and Pepsi

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.

If you wanted it to taste like this just throw some reese's cups into the mix and it'll come out just fine.

Now you're talking

@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.

Thanks for the info, saved me some money
