An Asiana market opened across the street. They're open until 9, so I hit them up after work (mainly to get cheap awesome flour and oil with Japanese and Korean (it's mixed in the store) labels on all my poo poo). I did find one liter of this for a massive $3 flat. Even though I'm not really drinking this year (I did have a few Guinness[es?] right before the move), I think you can see why I had to purchase it. Even if it just sits on a shelf.

It was in the unrefrigerated section.

I quite liked Virginia and found the people friendly. I did find the recreated native american camp at Jamestown was staffed pretty much exclusively 6' tall blonde Caucasian people that looked like they were from Sweden or maybe the Netherlands dressed in buckskin. The authenticity was a little low on that one.

(and can't post for 11 years!)

So yesterday half of my apartment lost power... sorta. UPS was bitching about undervoltage, some lights were barely coming on, HVAC died, dryer died, stove died, and a nice strong ozone smell + crackling from the breaker panel with a little bit of smoke. :stare:

No main breaker to shut off inside, but there's a main breaker outside. Shut off all my breakers, crackling stopped, so I didn't bother trying to figure out which meter/main breaker was mine again. Maint came out... his eyes kinda bulged out when he pulled the breaker panel cover. Several breakers just fell off the bus bar when he pulled the cover, and of the ones that fell, about half of them fell to the floor (wire pulled right out of them). Classy. He went through it, said about 2/3 of the breakers never had the screw lugs tightened down, and one of the main lugs was loose. loving hell. No wonder they've had 3 fires in the 1.5 years I've lived here.

I'll be so loving glad to get out of this place. Add being woken up at ~8am every day by the building fire alarm lately - I asked maint about that, he said the city came down on them hard about the fire alarms, and they have a contractor out here.. replacing all of the fire alarms on the property. That can't be cheap... ~800 apartments, mostly 12 unit buildings. But the trouble chirp + strobe has been going on over 2/3 of the buildings for well over a year. Maint dude told me to expect the fire alarm to go off at random for the next week or so while they install a new system + have the city come out and inspect it.

/me looks at email exchange with fire marshal and code enforcement about the constant false alarms and flat out disconnected fire alarms.... what? No, of course I didn't say anything. When the fire department shows up at your own building 3 times in one week, and literally begs you to contact the fire marshal and stir poo poo up because they're sick of coming out to your apartment complex multiple times per week (sometimes multiple times per day)... you do what the sexy guys in the sexy uniforms say to do. :allears:

Not much help, but my parents divorced 35 years ago.

They still talk plenty of poo poo about each other. Mostly my mom talking poo poo about my dad. Dad's a little more level headed (but still throws out a little shade occasionally... in a way that cracks me up, it's always something I agree with). Mom still calls him occasionally for tax advice (he's been a CPA for well over 40 years), despite how much she trash talks him.

Dad's level headed enough that he'll give her good advice, but won't do actual work for her, and won't sign off on anything.

edit: but what kind of glue. I'm surprised that these sophisticated taste elites can't elaborate on exactly what kind of glue it tastes/smells like. Do they mean cyanoacrylate, PVA (white), PVA (yellow/wood), construction adhesive, or something else. Though I'm not surprised that they know what glue tastes like, if you know what I mean.

Trying to fix a user's laptop, and I think the SSD is dying. Of course she has no backups of the 200+ GB of useless poo poo on her drive. Every time I try to copy poo poo from the drive (removed from the machine and attached to a Mac via a drive dock + a M.2-to-SATA adapter) the drive will just disappear after about 800 MB transferred. On a PC, I can't even get into her user folder to grab poo poo because the drive won't stay operational long enough for the read permissions to her user folder to be applied. CHKDSK tries, then shits itself when the drive disappears. The Mac at least ignores permissions on external drives. I can copy a few hundred MB at a time. I don't want to be mean, but she's not worth that level of effort. Frustrating me all to hell.

Those people are dumb. You order the lomo saltado, which is beef, potatos, onions, tomatoes, and an amazing sauce. Then you add green sauce.
No seafood.

Only tool I have for that is Apple Disk Utility, which tries, but ultimately fails when the drive disappears. It's like the controller gives up after a certain amount of data or something.
I found a file recovery tool that will keep trying, so is much more successful, and I don't have to drag and drop a bunch of times. It retries automatically, and when that times out, I can wait until the drive shows up in Explorer again and manually click retry. Annoying, but less so.The main annoyance is the 200 GB of crap. Half of it's in Japanese, so I can't really tell what's important, either. The entire Ghost in the Shell anime series wasn't, though. Looks like there's the entire manga series of Attack On Titan, too. All in Japanese, though, or I would have snagged them, myself (user is actually Japanese). Also, I already have most of GiTS.

I'd have tried that if I were aware of it when I was there. I was desperately trying to avoid eating at places that I could go to at home. First dinner I had there was a soul food place, and it made me happy. Also had Pho multiple times, since my wife is meh on that, but I discovered I really like it. Couple of local burger places. Checked out In N Out in its native land. Really liked the Ugly Pie Company. Various other places. Nice when the company is paying.

edit: my 20-year anniversary is this year, and we were together 5 years before that. I have no idea how she puts up with me, let alone for 25 years.

I'm all for ripping on Rhyno because it's fun, easy, and good for the soul, but I'll never understand statements like these. What exactly is marriage vs. being together?

I get that I'm far from a traditional sort of guy and an usually surprised when people just say things (women love to shop/how about that sports game/millenials :argh:) until I remember that I'm the odd one out, but marriage is nothing. It's a business contract, a legal thing, it's a for-law statement that has nothing at all to do with ~love~ or emotion or anything of the sort. When I see people go 'heh marriage is super cereal' I'm confused every time. Then again I'm not very traditional and that might be everything.

If I were to respond to my above statement I'd probably smuggly go "HEH U DON'T EVEN KNOW" and then I'd shrug and just mumble something about old people, probably. :) :) :)

I opened it just now. It smells like Titebond wood glue, and tastes the same. I don't detect ANY banana or whatever the gently caress.

Also yes it's gritty. What the gently caress?
