Lisias Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) I love coffee. I would be drinking coffee until it spills out by my ears, it this thing also didn't get me some heartburns (why English man call this "heart burns"? It's the stomach that goes too acid and hurts...). So I realized that I could drink almost all the coffee I want by using some milk on it. 2/3 coffee and 1/3 milk does the trick. However, drinking milk all the day is making me fat. Too fat. So I tried soymilk. (sigh) I hate bathroom scales. That ones that talk are particularly vicious. Edited March 27, 2019 by Lisias tyop!

Delay Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I'm done for next year. Why? In school I have to choose between whether I want to take music or art classes in the next year. Since I am missing about five years of music (went to a different school) I've been advised by my teacher not to take music classes. This means I'm forced to take art.

Geonovast Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I just found out that my brother, who recently moved to CA, is ELEVEN MILES from SpaceX's headquarters in Hawthorne. And I'm about as far from everything space related one can be and still live in the continental US. Although there is a chance we'll be going to DC this fall for my wife's uncle's funeral at Arlington, so I'll get to see Discovery. Not the shuttle I wanted to see though. I'm sad.

He's living in a blanket fort in some kind of commune. So, not ideally. He also just got there. It's also 1600 miles, and I refuse to get on a plane. I hope I will visit him soonish though, as he does have the Shuttle I do want to see. It sucks, I also really want to see a Falcon 9 launch, but I want to see it land on land.... which they don't really do out of california.... that would require going to florida... which, again, wrong shuttle!

Don't you live in Louisiana? Anyhow, if you still do or did, there's John C. Stennis Space Center - where NASA tests engines, including the shuttle's back when the shuttles were the backbone of the space program. Each time we visit the family in that neck of the swamp, we visit the visitor's center and take the tour. https://www.nasa.gov/centers/stennis/home/index.html Oh and even SpaceX uses their facilities for engine testing... Just so ya know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live about 45 minutes north of Branson, MO in a lovely town best "known" for the world's largest fork, and one of (if not the only) remaining factories in the country still manufacturing cassette tapes.

LordFerret Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Eventually, we all get to deal with this to one degree or another. Quote Scheduling a Funeral at Arlington Upon the death of the veteran or eligible family member, you should contact a local funeral home to arrange for any desired services in the hometown and assistance. The next-of-kin or funeral director should contact the customer service center at xxx-xxx-xxxx to arrange for the service at Arlington After you call you will be given a case number and asked to send copies of the veteran's DD-214, death certificate, and cremation certificate if applicable. You can email, fax, or mail them. Be prepared, since there is a large demand for interment in Arlington it may take several weeks to several months until your request is approved. Also, special requests such as full military honors or use of a chapel may add to the approval time. - https://www.military.com/benefits/burial-and-memorial/arlington-national-cemetery.html My cousin got their 2nd star (Major General) inside the Women's Memorial, I was there for it. To stroll though Arlington.......... it is quite a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAL59 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Why is it practically impossible to record internal audio on a mac, something which is A BASIC FEATURE A COMPUTER SHOULD HAVE OR AT LEAST SUPPORT.

Why does every operating system suck. It's a pain in the ass on any OS, due to some rather old design decisions on how to get data to soundcards. Essentially, you need to hack the soundcard driver or insert a shim between the application and the driver. Or just use a cable. ALSA on GNU/Linux has a plugin that can do this (with some properly arcane configuration) and Soundflower on MacOS creates a virtual soundcard for the same purpose. I have no idea how to go about it on Windows, as that OS does indeed suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
