The Bore chat on Discord woke me up at 04:40 because I (a) didn't engage Do Not Disturb mode, and (b) I didn't know Discord uses the same beep as PS4's system "accept."

Tired. So sleepy.

You fucking chatty bastards.

Good news: I can easily wake up at 4:00 or 5:00 am now.

Bad news: I don't want to do anything when I get home from work except veg out in my bed until my new bed time of 9:00 pm.

Same. I'm up at 4:20am and usually in bed by 10pm. When I get home from work I mainly read and watch reality TV. Sometimes cyber with demi. I don't really have enough time to get into a game.

I've decided to take a break from looking at porn.  Not because of any ill effects (lolz) but because I barely look at it.  Unlike most here, I have a philosophy of downloading porn if there is the chance that I want to jerk off to it again later; I've watched too many streaming videos only to want to look at it again and can't find it, even if I know who the girl is in the video.  However I made the dumb mistake in the past of deleting collections only to want it again months later.  So I'm transferring my collection to my external hard drive.  If I end up dying and people see my collection of pictures and videos of girls with big tits, it could be a lot worse.

First we get a heatwave, now a storm, with hail that sounds like fireworks going off.

The hail was strong enough to smash the windows of a neighbours car.

[fistfulofmetal]

Let my car sit on the curb for too long again and it wouldn't start. No fuckers around me are willing to jump my car so had to spend money to get a guy come and jump the car. Second time this has happened. Having a car in NYC is fucking stupid.

tl;dr - Freak weather has brought tornadoes and insane hail to China. 78 killed, 500 injuries, 200 of them in critical condition. Good thing there's no climate change or I'd be worried. (cough)

[Atramental]

My co-workers today were commenting on the heat and at the same time saying climate change was nonsense.

Call your insurance to see if it covers roadside assistance. Some policies cover a certain number of tows/jumpstarts a year. They may even reimburse you for what you had to pay for jump.

Also ya might want to consider getting one of those tire inflator/jump starter things (<$100). It would be worth it if you're leaving your car parked a lot of the time.

[Mupepe]

Since it seems like this will be a common occurrence I'd buy a trickle charger and keep your battery on it. You're going to either be connecting/disconnecting your battery often or jumping and replacing your battery often. Often = when you decide to drive it probably

[CatsCatsCats]

Sound advice, nice trickle chargers might even have a jump feature as well

You work with  some temporarily inconvenienced millionaires as well? 

[fistfulofmetal]

Yeah unfortunately my insurance doesn't cover roadside. I have to call them about that. I'm definitely planning on buying a jump-start battery. This one looks popular:

I have a little 4 door sedan, would 500amp be overkill?

[Mupepe]

Keep letting it die and jumping it you'll be replacing the battery over and over. Find a combo trickle charger and jumper.

Have a pretty decent idea for a web app which I'm really excited about, but can't work on it while at my current company since it's in the same space. #thedualities

The thing is, it's kinda designed to be a side project at the core, maybe make enough money to sustain itself, which makes it more frustrating. It wouldn't really compete with my current company at all. I can't see quitting to work on it working out either, don't really have enough cash to sustain myself for more than two or three months.

Maybe I'll luck into meeting an angel investor or something.

Can you recommend one?

Schumacher is a respected brand in the motorcycle community.  A quick look at amazon and I found this guy...

https://www.amazon.com/Schumacher-PS-2100MA-ProSeries-Automatic-Battery/dp/B000YP2SYM/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1466785889&sr=8-5&keywords=schumacher+trickle+charger+and+jumper

You want one like this.  So when you're not using your car you can just hook up your battery to it in charge mode and it will monitor the capacity and keep it at the optimum level. 

[Madrun Badrun]

I ate so many timbits today

SMH i'm disgusting

[Madrun Badrun]

Also lately all I want to do is drink and work from morning till night.

All that sugar is messing with you. Try cutting back for a month, see if it helps.

Came up with two awesome ideas while walking home - turns out they have both been done.  fuck everything.

What are the ideas?

[Madrun Badrun]

sequence to sequence autoencoder and then using them on speech data.  The first was done by google last year and the second this year

Bummed out I haven't gotten a response on a job application

I know what you mean; sometimes, even if you apply for something for which you're clearly qualified, the company is just fulfilling their legal obligation to advertise for a position they're planning on filling with an internal promotion.

Had a power outage on my block yesterday. Regained power around 9pm and now my internet is somewhat slower than usual. Not sure if my modem/router are fucked or if it's just some minor issue that will disappear.

For awhile I thought my fridge was dead, which was a far bigger issue lol. It didn't regain power when everything else did, but thankfully it was running again by 10pm.

Semi struggle: I had some sausage in the fridge. Since I don't know exactly how long the power was out I think I'll just throw them away...

[Madrun Badrun]

sausage should last for a while.  At least 12 hours, especially if you didn't open the fridge.

I only opened the fridge once.

I'm going to eat one tonight then. If I die, make sure the proper authorities arrest this man.

He's got half-a-dozen human captives in his basement, and yet you think your vicarious sausage murder will the one thing that trips him up? He's already planted evidence around thebore.com which makes your sausage gobbling death look like the inevitable end result of some sick flesh-tube fetish.

Out of all the bore members, I'd never kill PD first. 

[Samson Manhug]

Smell them. If you don't gag, cook them to 155 degrees and you'll be fine.

Not(not) the best time to reply incognito.

I chickened out. I'll eat one tomorrow

Don't be a pussy, eat the sausage PD.

This week is a cluster fuck, work wise, and on top of that I'm combatting a sore throat and a mild yet persistant headache.

i caught myself reading both hbr and inc. today, thanks linkedin

Someone broke into my car last night.  I don't keep anything valuable in my car so nothing was stolen.  Yet my center console was flipped open and my glove compartment, which is full of old car repair receipts, were strewn about.  My vehicle registration was intact.  So no real worries here fortunately.

Since nothing was stolen, I didn't bother the police.  I called the apartment complex manager saying it should be a good idea to tell people that someone's car did get broken into and to stay safe.  She said that she was sorry that it happened but she wasn't going to tell anyone because it may just be a one off thing and besides, there was no need to create panic.  Then she thanked me again for reporting it and hung up.  Makes me wonder if other cars got broken into.

This has finally pushed me to start looking at buying a house or a condo.  I have enough saved up for a nice down payment and I can finally have my dream of having a sauna and steam room where I live.  I've been looking at Zillow for the better part of tonight.  Home prices are incredibly cheap but the primary issue I have is that I don't own much and don't see myself needing a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom house.

[Madrun Badrun]

PD how was that sausage? 

[Phoenix Dark]

PD how was that sausage?

Actually it wasn't bad and I'm still alive. I cooked it up with some onions, bell peppers, and brown rice.

[TVC15]

I just had this amazing carne asada torta and like 3/4ths of an awesome mega burrito and I like can't even stand up. I really need to get the pomade out of mah hair, too. I'm just going to pass out here. Ughhhhhhh

[chronovore]

[Reb]

I keep sabotaging myself at work by avoiding things and putting them off.
I already have plenty of work, but now with the self created backlog and time pressure added I'm slowly going under.

I can't figure out why I keep doing this, my best guess is that I'm just a lazy person only prepared to really work when the stakes are high.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Maybe your work bores you, is not challenging and you don't feel rewarded for doing it

[Atramental]

That's basically what I was running into last week because I absolutely loathe doing quality assurance reviews and prepping/slicing/annotating dozens of web page mockups for our developers.

[Cerveza mas fina]

I'm so nervous for tonights game I can barely concentrate on anything.

Football gets me every time.

My wife and I thought the same thing.  It's amazing how fast you find shit to fill that space with.  I turned one of the rooms into my hobby room and my wife made an office for herself. 

Speaking of this, without fail when my wife and I lived in a townhome I would come out at least 3 times a week to find the ignition cap on my bike open.  It has a little latch to cover the key insert.  It may have been kids just messing around or it could have been people looking for an easy steal, but that was when I really started to think "I need to get the fuck out of here".  It was a "good" neighborhood too.

I'm the same way. Once a procrastinator, always a procrastinator. :I

I'd like to offer useful advice, but there is nothing that I will not put off, and I'd only be rattling off what you can find online, anyway...

I missed this but I'm the same way.  Honestly what worked for me was putting my fingers into so many pies () that I always have something with a deadline on the horizon.  I made it my business to try to get work and learn new things.  It helped with my image at work and with my productivity.  Now I'm a guy that gets things done and is always trying to help and learn new things.  It can make things really stressful sometimes though.   

[Reb]

I think that might be part of the whole thing. I'm also always signing up for everything.
Every unallocated pie goes my way now by default.

I feel like the solution must be in the other direction. Simplify and focus my attention to one thing at a time, getting things done without building up too much pressure.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Whenever I get that way, I pop a modafinil and keep going until the work gets done.  I take 100 mg maybe twice a month and it works great.

[Atramental]

Would I just have to tell a doctor that I have sleep issues in order to get a modafinil prescription?

Or can I just order this shit in bulk from India and cross my fingers and hope I'm not getting bovine hormones instead?
