Well. I've just spent far too long putting together a list of something fairly meaningless, so I suppose I might as well inflict it on you.

Re: 2D8HP's extended mea culpa and Random Banter #218
Yeah, people that drive too slowly are a blight on our roadways. Particularly annoying is a particular pair of drivers that I'm sure you've encountered - one in the right lane, traveling (somewhat reasonably so) slightly below the speed limit, and one in the left lane, traveling (unreasonably so) less than one mile per hour faster, usually accompanied by 6-10 cars behind in the left lane desperately trying to just get on down the road.
But we insist on issuing driver's licenses to these people anyway, so...
Fair enough. When I got paid for driving, it was by the hour, which worked out wonderfully when there was a traffic jam on I-95.
VA was short for "Virginia", and I'm quite confident that you've not been to the state of Virginia in any of those places. The Cane's I found was in Charlottesville, VA, though there may be others.Last edited by Amidus Drexel; 2018-06-13 at 10:08 AM.

Nonono, that's "the VA".
I figured, but it's fun to take everything literally.

I was thinking Veterans Administration medical centers. Not the state of Virginia .. .. .. .. .. although, there are two Virginias: Virginia and West Virginia.
I hate to inform you I was not being humorous in any way .. .. .. .. .. this time.Last edited by Insane Jeenyus; 2018-06-13 at 05:03 PM.

Re: 2D8HP's extended mea culpa and Random Banter #218
Maybe a little late to the party, but I assume those with longer commutes either don't have to do it all the time (I don't) or they appreciate having a lot of space for whatever reason. And large lots aren't exactly always near employment opportunities. In other cases, they might be shopping for schools if they have kids. I was helping to run an open house last month for a new rental, and one of the selling points was in fact the school district.
Also, you people are mentioning strange fast food. I don't think a single one mentioned in this thread is on the West Coast other then Wendy's. And their twitter might be funny, but I'm still not eating there.For all of your completely and utterly honest needs. Zaydos made, Tiefling approved.

On the fast food discussion, my place of choice is now Mucho Burrito, which does really good burritos with build your own options. It's the new Subway in my opinion.

Re: 2D8HP's extended mea culpa and Random Banter #218
I really, really hate how they are forced to say "my pleasure" every time I say thank you. We in the South, dammit. You give me my receipt, I say thank you. Drink, thank you. Food, thank you. I know it's not your pleasure, I know you'll get in trouble if you don't say it every time, and I hate the people who came up with that idea.

Mine is a gateway, purchased back in 2009-ish, but it has a camera.

Re: 2D8HP's extended mea culpa and Random Banter #218
I seem to have a nack for branching into other people's areas of expertise in my work. We're putting together a new hardware test rig, the first rig for me to be working on right from scratch, and in principle, my work is just cobbling together a simple GUI and sending specified commands to specified measuring instruments. Or rather, it would be, but no one told me what those commands were supposed to be or which instruments I'm supposed to send them to, so instead I've spent the last few days poring over circuit schematics and reading technical manuals to try and figure it out myself. And naturally I discover both incorrectly wired circuits and usage of the wrong instruments for the wrong tasks, eventually ending with the hardware person responsible for the rig schematics in the first place just approaching me (sincerely) saying "can you please help designing this cable for me, since you seem to have a better grasp of how everything should be connected".
It's fun to branch out and test my mettle on new types of problems. Although it is pretty exhausting too. I've found that after hours of cross-checking wiring tables and data sheets, just context switching onto another project, something I normally do in just a matter of minutes, takes me at least half an hour of rebooting my brain...Last edited by Teddy; 2018-06-20 at 01:09 AM.

Re: 2D8HP's extended mea culpa and Random Banter #218
It truly is midsummer.
I don't live too far off north, but the nights here are still very bright and no darkness to be seen; the darkest hour is just a rather mellow light blue.
This ended up with me last night not realising what the time is and going to bed at around 3 in the morning, half an hour before the official sunrise
I guess at least my internship ended and I'm on holiday? So yay, waking up at 14:00 shouldn't affect me? Oh no. Nope. I'm too old for this. My stomach is so angry at me for not keeping a solid schedule.Originally Posted by LaZodiac
