roboslacker Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Today, I took my younger siblings to the middle school play. It was okay. I also finished 3 panels on my project. I should be able to finish page 4 tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tater Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Was at my friend's (and next door neighbor (if across an arroyo counts as that)) house, and saw Duesenberg #3 (though he donated one to a museum, so only 2 at home). Cool car, but I can't imagine buying something like that, ever, even if I had that kind of money. (that's a pic of it off the internet, I didn't take one in his garage) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing it needs is a blown big block and some 18 inch mags... Ee, wait, this is 2019.... can we drop a Tesla AWD PerfPack drivetrain in it?

Kerbart Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Our dog needs medicine. I’m a cat person; feeding medicine to cats is like a cage fight to the death. As I’m wrestling the dog to get the syringe into his mouth, my wife suggests squirting it on my hand so he can lick it up. Of course it works. Dogs eat anything you put in front of them. Lol.

Bill Phil Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Finally got my hands on a copy of The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space by Gerard K. O’Neill. Haven’t finished it yet but it’s pretty fascinating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkOwl57 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 On Friday, I was planning on spending my free day off from school with a lot of busy things to do. In the morning, I would visit another local school to see if it was a good fit for me next year. After that, it would be a super-quick lunch before the greatest event of my high-school life short of Prom (which by the way went amazing): Avengers: Endgame. I was so pumped, ready to watch what everyone had been so interested in. I came home from school on Thursday ready for the next morning, when... Mom: "Yeah, I have this weird stomach bug... I don't think I can do anything tomorrow." She was in a really bad state from Thursday night all the way to around yesterday, but she's feeling better now. I feel a little selfish, being disappointed over a movie, but the feeling of immediate devastation was just crushing. Finals are Wednesday, and we get out early, so maybe I'll go then... Just have to hope no-one spoils it until then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least then you only have to deal with teeth fangs Them you can proceed to.... Step One: pry the mouth open and ram the pill or syringe as far back in the throat as you can and clamp its mouth shut.

Geonovast Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I got a text early this morning that my brother went to see the Deep Space Nine documentary at a theater in LA. As he was exiting the rest room, he ran into none other than Nana Visitor! The actress that played Kira Nerys now knows that my daughter was half-named after her (probably) most well-known character! Now he's just gotta run into Terry Farrel to finish it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chel Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 On the bus travelling to school this morning, packed as usual (luckily my stop is one of the first so it's easy to find a seat). There's an intersection along the route, and on this morning the bus was at the time when everyone else had to stand (as no more seats). Suddenly a car just stopped in front for some reason, so the bus driver had to quickly apply the brakes to not crash. What happened next? Approx. 10-20 people who were standing got flung forward and hit the ground Bus had to pull over by the side of the road Phones smashed So I had a very interesting morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Today, my father, who is recovering after knee surgery and is staying at my grandmother's house, apparently lost wifi signal because the router needs to be reset, which is down a flight of stairs in an office, and nobody in the house is able to help reset it. Meanwhile, I had internet services enabled in my house the very same morning, about 15 minutes prior to his going down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Got an NVMe SSD installed in my laptop. Nice and snappy now compared to that 5400 RPM Spinnydisk. Also got a new battery for the emergency laptop, which is going to stay in the room we hide from tornadoes in. That's one less thing to think about grabbing on the way down. Oh, and the camera I bought for our DC trip is also here. It's Friday before a 3 day weekend. The boss's wife brought doughnuts in this morning. It's been a good day!

I had the same reaction when I got my very first one in my desktop. I shouldn't have been shocked by the size, since I knew exactly how big the spot for it on the motherboard was. Maybe it's the packaging? The box is a lot bigger than it has to be to hold the thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It came all assembled in my case, judging by the picture on the website I was expecting something the size of a PCI card or some such. Technology is awesome. I still remember when I had a couple of lunchbox-sized ESDI drives sitting on the floor for a lousy 150MB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbiloid Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 TV said that a remedy against skunk's stink is tomato sauce. Probably hot ketchup is the best. Short-range: smear it under the skunk's tail to make him run away before he shoots. Long-range: throw the ketchup bottle at the skunk to chase him away before he approaches.
