ExplodingSims posted:Dogs want to be your best friend., cuddle buddy and force you to exercise. They're the best pet. My roommates have two dogs. If I wouldn't get in trouble with the cops for it, I'd have shot them both by now. I work nights, so two dumb loving animals howling for 4-6 hours a day at anything that goes past the windows is exactly what I don't need.

iwentdoodie posted:I hope you mean your roommates. Because that's their fault, not the dogs. All of the above. They were the dumbasses who let an idiot PI-quality friend talk them into having an Australian Shepard in the middle of the city, but the dog is so ill trained and neurotic as to be unrecoverable at this point. The other one is a miniature american eskimo who's smart enough and a huge rear end in a top hat who likes to set the idiot dog off then watch her get in trouble.

I'm apparently getting a grand or so back this year, going to go into new shocks all around on the xj, probably do a short lift as well since my springs are questionable rusted to gently caress in the rear.

Elmnt80 posted:I spent $400 on a room in a casino in Bilouxi on my last road trip. Awesome bathroom, huge bed that ways one of the most comfortable I've ever layed in and just tons of space everywhere. I had people who couldn't understand why I would spend that much on a hotel room but it was worth it after a hot nasty day on the road. Given the choice, I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I did Burning Man a few years ago, and got a room in Reno on the first night of the drive home. There is nothing that feels better than three showers and an air conditioned king size bed after a week in the desert living in a hammock.

Rhyno posted:People keep asking me why stay in Indiana? What you just described can be had for half the price here, usually on more land. Same here in Iowa, if you avoid the shitboxes in the cookie-cutter suburban cancer that spread out over the west side in the last decade. Most of those places won't make it to 15 years without major reworks, they were thrown up fast for the insurance company 'professionals' with money to burn who wanted McMansions, and all of the builders involved have long since declared bankruptcy and reformed under new names.

QuiteEasilyDone posted:Well, I'm getting laid off at the end of the month. I think this might be a time that I'd be able to start thinking about relocating somewhere a lot more AI than NJ. Austin is high in my books for career and personal interests but I guess I'm going to have to plan this out a little better than that. Luck, man. Austin was fun. poo poo like this is why I'm hesitant to move, despite hating my current situation. It's cheap, and if I got laid off tomorrow I'd be able to take a gig making down to half of what I do now without too much worry. I found a place I'd love to move to, but it's a bit more expensive and I wouldn't ahve the level of cushion I have now, so I'm staying put.

TooLShack posted:Ok, I gotta ask this, what is the deal with people liking to dick with old computer equipment? I can understand cars, old stereos, and other classic things. But for some reason obsolete computers hold no appeal to me. Is it for running old games and software? Same thing that's fun about getting old-rear end engines to run. It's the challenge and satisfaction of getting something massively obsolete up and doing it's job. Also the amusement value of realizing that old computers run about the same speed as modern ones, subjectively. Much less processing power, but much more efficient use of memory and power.

and said he'd cosign. Not much liquid cash, but over $130k in his IRA, has monthly oil royalties that pay almost what I make a month, credit score well over $800, zero debt whatsoever (even the house is paid off), and the application is still "under review". 
My own dad won't cosign anything (never has, never will); I was pretty shocked when my stepdad offered to, since we've had a very rocky relationship. I'm thinking the "under review" part is because I have a fraud alert on my own credit file, and it was a hard pull for both of us.

Just gave up on sleeping after six hours, roommates are out so their dogs have been nonstop barking and howling that entire time. I'm just about to set up a 110DB stereo recording of it and time it to go off at 2am, and only turn off for 5-10 minutes when someone goes downstairs all night so they can understand what it is to work 3rd shift with their untrained animals of utter failure in the house.

mariooncrack posted:I'm legitimately curious, what do you put in chili without beans? I put corn in mine, which is apparently a no-no. Chili without beans is just too-thin taco filling. Onion, green pepper, chilis, corn, red beans, kidney beans, cannelini beans, black beans... my chili is full of stuff.

Or it could be that a lot of IT staff get jaded and develop this attitude after spending months and years slamming their head against users who are incapable of remembering or learning even the tiniest bit of information about the machines they rely on to do their work, and thus are constantly calling them for the same set of problems caused by pure incompetence and willful ignorance. There's a reason Step One of any troubleshooting routine is 'Are you certain it's plugged in?'. Liquid Communism fucked around with this message at 01:15 on Mar 1, 2015 |

Memento posted:We're not talking about help desk. We're talking about enterprise IT who are responsible for making sure the rest of the company can do their loving jobs by providing the capabilities they need. Like being able to download large files. We're talking about those staff making fucktarded decisions, like restricting an entire loving major mining company - a voracious consumer of massive datasets - to only being able to download files smaller than 100meg. It's the syndrome of IT deciding that the way they want to do it to make it easiest on themselves to manage is the way it's going to be done, and then telling people who want these large datasets to drive to the place they are hosted and give them a portable hard drive. Fucker, my job is to find new mineral deposits so the company can make money. How is your time more valuable than mine? Doesn't sound farfetched at all, I'm a datacenter tech and spent the last week being screamed at by overseas admins about how my team is useless because we can't troubleshoot a simple cable problem... which was actually their persistent inability to configure their scripts correctly.
