Ate at a Japanese Burger King on Saturday night, had a sour stomach that night, then spent all of Sunday and Monday violently farting.

Just like in the USA

This happens to me far too often. Will set an alarm and just want to snooze for 20-30 minutes around 4pm...then the next thing I know it's 5:30 or 6. $:-\$

I try to avoid naps for this very reason, but I was naive enough to think it wouldn't happen this time. The worst thing is that I only felt tired because I was re-adjusting to a different schedule (something that's become more difficult as I've aged).

I thought mine was a goner too until I power cycle'd that bitch. Eleven years and still going strong.

Mine's about to go for sure. It doesn't stay on without a signal. It's supposed to show "no signal", then go into standby, but it just turns off. With a signal, it takes a couple tries, but stays on. Something inside the power supply has gone sideways, for sure.
If it's just some caps that need replacing it'll be an easy and inexpensive repair, but I'm gonna use it as an excuse to get a new unit.

I'm interested in seeing how long it takes from now on to completely die.

Also, shopping for new monitors is an inconvenience in itself. 1080p still dominates, 1440p hasn't caught up at all and is markedly more expensive.

Man, Amazon's catalog is so disorganized. How can the biggest e-tailer (or is it Alibaba?) be so shit at indexing? Fucking copy the full datasheet at least.

ultrawide 4k 144Hz monitors still aren't a thing yet

Neither is the hardware to drive it, no?

Rufus · « **Reply #6677 on:** February 17, 2019, 06:02:08 AM »

Yeah, but you have to use something like this to get pixel perfect scaling, even at integer ratios, because reasons.

I think 1440p can look decent on 4K screens, but I haven't looked into it much.

It’s pretty embarrassing to have to ask your wife to help you bathe and sit on the toilet. I can only sleep in one position and my left arm falls asleep because I hold it in a weird position to keep the road rash from hitting the covers or bed. I waddle everywhere I go all stiff legged at like .2 mph.

In case anyone wants to see, here is my knee

Was at the movies yesterday getting my animu on watching Battle Angel. This was a morning show and there were parents there with little kids who totally shouldn't have been watching this movie. Them getting up and leaving was understandable and not really a distraction.

But about a quarter through the movie, this little kid with a big drink started coming into the theater and would sit down next to us, drink everything, leave, and then come back in a few minutes later (the theater has free refills). He kept doing this over and over again to the point where it started getting annoying, because he kept walking in front of us. He wasn't actually watching the movie, so I guess he was just that bored of whatever movie his family was watching. Maybe he was going in and out of more than one movie.

Also noticed several other people coming and going, albeit with less frequency. Have never been to a movie before with such a noticeable number of people who kept getting up and leaving/coming back before. Dunno what the hell was going on.

I had that same dream only I was watching you watching them and then watching you on your cleansing walk. Dream you should buy new shoes. They looked worn out.

Had a stomach virus since Sunday evening. Had to use 2 days of PTO, turns out that my contract has 10 days total, and those where the last 2.

Only have a month and a week to go on this contract, so it's hopefully not going to be a problem.

Didn't eat anything from Monday evening through Wednesday noon. Not eating anything for 36 hours was weird. Even then, I only had about 200 Kcals of porridge on Wednesday, and the same again today on Thursday.

Hoping I can eat something normal tomorrow night. $:-\$

Rather than drive or fly, decided to do two back-to-back overnight bus trips from Monday night to Wednesday afternoon as I did interviews between LA to Vallejo. Didn't sleep and back still feels fucked.

Current client got this bright idea that spotify and youtube were causing huge productivity losses so they block them on their network. Which then leads to everyone running off their phones and now they're even less productive than when they had it on the network because they're always looking it up on their phone. Nice going client!

What kind of car are you looking for? If a sedan can handle your roads, it's a good time to get one since SUVs are in the high demand so it's harder to get a good deal.

Be careful with minis. They have a long history of terrible cooling systems and of course being part of BMW repairs on it are a bitch. Expensive replacement parts and lots of speciality tools required. My wife owned one for 5 years and the thing was constant trouble.
