So I've been fighting off a cold for the last two weeks and yesterday I finally started feeling better ...until 2pm when I broke out into a sweat and my joints started aching. By the time I got home from work at 5pm I had a temperature of 103F. Slept from 5:30pm till 4am when I woke up from a panic attack and apparently the fever breaking and it was down to 99.9F, so I go into work today and end up having to leave two hours into the shift because it went back up to 101F and I didn't want to get anybody sick.

Geirskogul posted:You shouldn't have gone to work in the first place. If you don't go to work, you get 1 point. If you go to work but leave early, you get half a point. Once you get three points, you get a write-up. Plus I really need the money so I was hoping I'd be able to finish the 8 hour shift, especially since the fever broke and that usually means it's over and done with. I didn't anticipate getting another fever :/

Viggen posted:I still can't get over ~100k miles for a 10+ year old beast is "low miles". Try talking to an octogenarian 'merkin metal owner, and you'll find that 100k is at least 60k, if not 80k over its' "trade in date". '92 puts it at more like 20+ year old beast, which is pretty low compared to other 22 year old cars.

meatpimp posted:Weather station chat -- anybody use them? I've got an old Oregon Scientific WMR968 setup that is slowly dying. I've got to replace all 12 AA batteries on a 15' tall pole in the next couple days, and that's going to be the last time I do that before replacing the setup... The Oregon Scientific was okay, but never really felt good. I'm looking at a Davis Instruments replacement... anything else I should consider? I like weather.app quite a bit.

Anybody know what the best way of finding lost music is? For some reason I have 20gb of music hiding somewhere on my mac.  I suspect that I somehow didn't hit move to trash after deleting a bunch of music from iTunes but that doesn't seem like something that I would do

Seat Safety Switch posted:Use Disk Inventory X to try and find the biggest files in a nice way, but otherwise I'd try and rig something up from the command line with the find command (or even use Spotlight, if you're willing to delve into its odd syntax). Nice, that showed me all the iOS apps that were downloaded on my computer (but stored on the iCloud anyways so why waste 16GB of storage on that). Thanks!

I have a midterm for an engineering class that for some reason my uni requires cs majors to take and it will literally be the death of me. I already had to take discrete maths and advanced physics, why the bloody gently caress am I also required to take a course that has me designing digital circuits then providing how many volts the circuit can handle or whatever Also, Karnaugh maps are the bane of my existence

Rhyno we all love you but based on all the drama in your life I'd say half of it is from your poo poo friends and the rest of it is from you blowing it out of proportion or getting involved in something that you could have not gotten involved in. I don't want to call you a drama queen because typically you get involved with the best intentions, but bloody hell man your life is as dramatic as Gone with the Wind.

Mat_Drinks posted:October chat thread: I just want to sit at home, play video games, eat stir fry and hang out with my lady Not unless car stuff is free cuz only things I want to spend money on right now are Chinese, Thai, or spicy tuna sushi rolls. And apple products and a few other things I guess I'd like to spend money on cars I guess but lately I dont really care about them and money has been wicked tight. Maybe when I have a nicer car and more disposable income I'll be excited about ordering parts again

Not even exaggerating Detroit is a better place to live than Cleveland. At least people are trying to bring Detroit back, afaik everyone dreams of leaving Cleveland and letting it rot. That being said, still better than Indiana.

Adiabatic posted:I lived in Grand Rapids MI for 4 years. It's a place with 100" of snowfall on average and ~270 days of the year are completely overcast. I heard "At least it's not Ohio" a lot. Also the craft beer is amazing and the ability to live in the country with a shitload of property and drive into downtown to enjoy the city life within 15 minutes outweighs any amount of snow they get up there. Well, it certainly helps I guess. IDK I really really like GR almost moreso than I like Detroit.

Adiabatic posted:Yo Richmond is just like that without all the lovely weather. I really liked GR and everyone for sure made the most of it there but god drat did they pick a horrible spot. I guess the best way to put it is for Michigan, it's pretty dope. I think me and my wife are going to stay in Michigan due to the huge amount of SE jobs here, and the fact that all of her family is here and South Carolina and afaik SC has little to no SE jobs in Charleston.

I have so many PS2 games I wanna play that I'm seriously considering either hauling my fatPS2 from the basements CRTV and running composite on my 1080p 120hz TV OR buying an original PS3 with backwards compatibility and hoping that it plays PS2 games in 720p (and it has enough thermal paste on it)

I gotta say, after playing with the 5, I like my 4 more. Less horseshit parts held together by the frame. Just the volume and power buttons.

Terrible Robot posted:For those of you who didn't get the snap, or had your sound turned down and therefore didn't get anything useful out of it: I saw gas being sold for $2.65 today. I haven't seen it that low in, poo poo, years. A station down the road has it for $2.89, which is still incredibly cheap. Yeah I was way too excited about this  There was some sort of deal at meijer that got you $0.20/gal off so that was amazing

angryhampster posted:I love gin and tonics. It's been my drink of choice for about a year now. My favorite bargain gin is New Amsterdam. To me it tastes like Tanqueray at half the price. Same, a 1.5L bottle for $19 is a great deal and while it's not as strong as sapphire it tastes almost as good and it's cheap enough that I don't feel bad for buying it.

Fucknag posted:Neither, it was the Roasting Plant (had to look it up). It's right by Lafayette/American Coney Island, which we went downtown specifically for (both of which were underwhelming imo, I prefer my hot dogs grilled), then decided to get coffee after and it was right there. I'm sure they're all great, though; fresh roasted is where it's at. Ah yeah, I've heard good things about that place. American Coney Island is super overrated, and boiled hotdogs are gross as gently caress. Lafayette isn't that much better but at least their chili dogs make up for them being boiled

Fucknag posted:Get GPU-Z and check your card temps. I figured out something was wrong when one sensor was 30 degrees C higher than the other two, and when I pushed the heat sink/fan down (up, actually, but w/e) onto the card the sensor reading shot up to 104 and the fan kicked to max speed. So after dusting everything and seeing that I'm only at 50C on an oc'd GPU I decided to scan for viruses since it wasn't lagging like this last week and my brother was using it for his homework and is not exactly good at computers.
