Writing to the disk is rarely a good way to speed things up. Can't you read the data to memory in chunks, or simply use a machine with more memory?

I can't seem to stop losing weight argh, I'm trying to eat more again but it's actually pretty hard to eat bigger portions when you've been eating less for 4 months.

Snack on protein shakes. Go with something that tastes good but a little bland so you still eat regular food on top of it.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #3003 on:** September 29, 2016, 03:14:22 AM »

That seems like a good idea, colleague at work already suggested I try to snack on proteins in general.

Might pick up something on the way home.

Now mostly eating an extra after breakfast pastry when I get to work, some extra bananas.

For males, it's only offensive if we fail to wax before wearing the nurse whites.

Doctor's office calls- "Hi, sorry, can we reschedule you for next week? The doctor is off this week because of the Jewish holiday."
Me: You didn't know this ahead of time?
Nurse: Sorry, we forgot to tell you.

This is the third time they've called in two months to push it back.

I was listenin to the radio this morning and a commercial came on for Next Radio on Android. It goes through some crap about waiting in your car to hear something on the radio and your boss being mad that you're late. Ok. Sure. Then at the end it tells you the solution is Next Radio so you can listen on your way from the car "and your boss? He'll think you're golden." I was triggered and the first thought was why did they have to say he? What about female bosses? Then I thought I should make a NeoGAF thread about it. To be fair, I guess it's because my immediate manager and my Director are both women so it seemed strange.

Thanksgiving drama starting early

I received a text and phone message from my mom today asking if I'm coming to Thanksgiving dinner. Apparently my youngest brother might be staying at his place instead of going to my parents for Thanksgiving; his gf is cooking, and my mom seems concerned that her dinner could siphon folks away. Her message ended with "and I heard she can't cook, but don't tell your brother that...."

Tasty · « **Reply #3058 on:** October 17, 2016, 04:12:25 PM »

Yup. Mom's decided to go out for Thanksgiving this year and we're already expecting drama since:

- Older sis and grandmother aren't talking because the former never calls despite the latter going through surgery and buying a coat for my niece.
- Mom and my older sis argue over my niece and how she's being raised.
- There was a spat last year at Easter between younger sis and grandma (grandma said "You're dressed like a whore" and sis stormed out.

)

On top of all this, the last time we went out for Thanksgiving circa 10 years ago, it was such a disaster (felt more like a soup kitchen then a legit eatery lol) the name of the restaurant is a running family in-joke.

So... this gonna be good.

My GF is dragging me home to meet her fam for Thanksgiving, which means I will alienate 10+ strangers irreparably while stuck in the country for a week.
