Is it normal for most of the contents of a person's fridge to be condiments and booze? This is the worst it's been since I was a bachelor in college.

Suggestions to kick a head cold? I've been sick since Sunday and stuck in bed the last two days. I had to take mucinex and 1000mg of ibuprofen just to get the pressure in my head down so I could fall asleep.

You can mix it with Mucinex and Ibuprofen and it should make life more tolerable. edit: make sure the mucinex doesn't have pseudo ephedrine already though.

Claratin-D 24 hour with real sudafed in it + some 'profin seems to fix me right up to semi working condition.

Yeah phenylephrine sucks dick. If your mucinex has phenylephrine in it then get plain mucinex that only has guaifenesen in it so you can take real Sudafed, or better yet if you don't have chest congestion then don't take it at all.

Zinc lozenges like Cold-EEZE, although they tend to work better if you take them when you first get a cold, not a couple days later.

Do you know anything about Linux? A basic Slackware install might give you something pretty useful. I say Slackware because I've got Debian on my own 5 year old Asus, and APT can be a bit slow/memory heavy, Debian just feels a bit heavier overall. Slackware felt pretty quick even running on a Raspberry Pi, you just have to accept that it's a little harder to maintain.

I don't know if slackware is the best introduction into Linux. I'd try something from the Ubuntu family first like Xubuntu or Lubuntu. They're supposed to be the more lightweight flavors.

Sigh, I couldn't get HR to give me an actual pay raise for this job offer I had sitting in my lap. How on earth do they expect someone to willingly leave a solid position in the company, go to a nonunion job, take a 3k pay cut (due to medical plan cost) and work second shift for free? gently caress this place

They're supposed to be the more lightweight flavors. Slackware is just what I'd try. I run a pretty stripped-down Debian on my netbook (i3 window manager, a few xterms, sshd, not much else) and it's still kind of crap. I've had good luck with Slackware on very low-spec systems in the past, so if my Debian install crapped out that's probably what I'd use for a fresh install. If you don't know Linux, yeah, sure, go with something like Xubuntu, it should be pretty easy and hopefully better than Win 7... Linux these days seems to be working hard to run just as slow as Windows, though.

It took me two different times of trying "cold" medicine to know that I am going to feel like crap. The little disclaimer on the bottle where it says "May cause drowsiness, may cause excitability" it affects me the latter way. I have never been so uncomfortable being in my own skin as I have taking that stupid medicine. I just take a long hot shower and drink a ton of water through the day.

NitroSpazzz posted:That's Vegas for the most part, especially the main strip. Fake, gross and kind of nuts. I liked the old casinos and area a lot more other than how much worse the smoke was. Agreed. The city is just a stage show. However if you like getting out, this place is perfect for it. wheeling, biking, hiking, boating/yakin/diving, skydiving, its all right here. If you're brave enough theres abandoned mines and ghost towns to even see.

Time to brush up on the ole' resume, got confirmation that the tweaked out sister in law of our alcoholic VP is getting groomed to replace the head of QA when he retires in the next year or so and I just can not work underneath someone I have zero respect for professionally.

I got married in Vegas... 6 days there and was never really sober, just various degrees of drunkenness... can't say enough good about it. Getting up, slightly buzzed and going down to the tables at 6am only to be brought round after round of free drinks? Winner.

Linux these days seems to be working hard to run just as slow as Windows, though. I've been running Xubuntu on my HP laptop for about a year because I just couldn't stand Win8 at all. It's been great for me, easy to set up and I've never had any issue that couldn't be solved with 5 minutes of googling and a quick apt-get. Plus this thing boots like goddamn, Less than 45 seconds from button press to desktop. Only problem is getting games to run can be a bit of a chore or impossible depending on what you want to play.

Divorce moving along relatively smoothly... er, as smoothly as a divorce can go, at least. I have an appointment with a lawyer in an hour to discuss the terms we have outlined so far. Everything seems pretty fair to me, but IANAL and want to make sure she's not loving me or vice versa. Also, I'm making arrangements to cash in some SkyMiles and hotel points to take a trip by myself for the first time pretty much ever to celebrate my newfound freedom. I'm thinking about going to the west coast for a few days, since I've never been further west than the Grand Canyon.

http://www.gizmag.com/duke-engines-axial/33631/ Interesting design, but it sorta feels like a rotary: quote:Instead of cam- or pneumatically-operated intake and outlet valves, the cylinders rotate past intake and outlet ports in a stationary head ring. The spark plugs are also mounted in this stationary ring – the cylinders simply slide past each port or plug at the stage of the cycle it's needed for and move on. In this way, Duke eliminates all the complexity of valve operation and manages to run a five-cylinder engine with just three spark plugs and three fuel injectors. During compression, you have to seal the cylinder somehow, right? Will this eventually blow those out like a rotary's apex seals?
