They're going to discontinue the Falcon? Aw, man...  Still April for another nine hours or so here, but May and double digit temps can't come soon enough. It was snowing and 2.5C last week here.

Wife and her visiting friend dragged me to the country's biggest art museum. I might actually die from boredom.

keykey posted:It could be pretty cool, just stay away from the abstract and modern art sections. Those are complete bullshit. That's my take on it too. I appreciate anything that's original, makes me think or impresses me with creativity and/or skill, but the majority of the works here look like they were shat out by preschoolers on acid.

InitialDave posted:Scored a "broken" garden shredder on ebay for a fiver. All that was wrong was a blown fuse, and the guy had reversed the connections on the switch while trying to fix it so it was shorted out. Seems to work just fine, and still has the £110 shop sticker on it. I once got a popcorn hour for $30. Went home, changed the fuse, good as new. Sold the spare PSU it came with for $25. Turns out a new PSU does very little when the fuse is embedded in the female mains plug in the chassis.

InitialDave posted:What's a popcorn hour? It's kinda like a very early Apple TV/XBMC. Networked Media Tank I think they called them. I think mine was the C200 or C300. It was pretty cool for its time.

Tusen Takk posted:a mobile dev company that I was super excited about applying to contacted me for a 30 minute conference call with a couple of their programmers to ask questions then give me a problem that I write some code for and email to them Don't sweat it too much. I'm coming up on 10 years in my business (embedded SW) and it's gotten to the point where I'm asked to sit in on interviews in a pinch. The reason why you're being asked to do a problem is not because the problem needs a solution. It's to see how you work, how attentive to details you are, how you approach problems, how you deal with hitting the wall etc. Be smart but relaxed, be honest without being self-destructive and think aloud. Finally, don't forget that this is also you interviewing them.

So my folks, seeing as they're now both retired, have decided to trade in their Volvos (XC90 and 850 wagon) with 600kkm between them for a boring new Octavia. Rationally, it makes tons of sense, but it'll mark the first time since 1983 when the household had zero Volvos. At least the Octavia is red. edit: and a wagon.

I tried to push for the 220hp one but I think my old man already was getting tunnel vision in the 1.4. At least the sales guy pushed for xenons. I'm looking forward to see what the VAG curse will be like this time around. I urged them to get the extended warranty.

So the old man's new Octavia is fitted with the 1.0 engine... On one hand, it's pretty impressive that they're able to wring out 115hp and 200Nm out of a one liter three cyl. On the other hand, FFS Dad, jut for once tick a fun box or two.

Three hours of mandatory sustainability workshop is exactly as exciting as it sounds.
