So I don't know where else to put this information, but if you ever buy stale Starburst candies, you can soften them up by putting them in a microwave for five seconds. Works great!

I rarely see late 80s/early 90s Mustangs these days. Maybe I'll see one or two a month, and they're usually pretty tired* (beat to poo poo). I've seen two beautifully stock 5.0's this week. One was a 5.0 LX (yesterday), the other was a GT (today). The GT was definitely a daily driver, but not beat up - just driven and maintained, and likely garaged most of its life. The LX looked like it just rolled off the showroom floor, aside from "well aged" purple tint. Takes me right back to high school. ![]() randomidiot fucked around with this message at 03:15 on Sep 21, 2014 |

I'm on my third day of only being able to choke down rice and chicken. Everything else seems to make me want to vomit unnecessarily. Outside of toast/applesauce/sprite/saltines, what do you guys eat when you're feeling ill?

Ginger ale usually settles my stomach when I'm ill. Outside of that, you covered the bases with chicken, rice, toast, and saltines. Maybe try a banana or something like that.

Today I learned that Linux servers with multiple live DBs really hate being powered off with no warning. That would be our server at work. The UPS had an interesting failure - it powered off with no warning, then started clicking rapidly. Hitting the power button on the UPS did nothing; holding it would get it to screech and show a bad battery LED, then it would resume clicking. It also smelled like some magic smoke escaped. ![]() The server takes a good 10 minutes to come back up after an unexpected power off. The old full tower Dell P4 server with a RAID array (which was replaced with an i5 "server" [HP mini desktop] with a single HDD about 2 months ago) took about 45 minutes. The fun part is the call center called us and said "hey we're not going to take orders for you since your computer isn't responding, we're forwarding all of your lines back to you until you get it fixed". ![]() GM had no idea what to do. It's amazing what unplugging the dead UPS and plugging the PC into a regular outlet does to bring a computer back up. ![]()

That sounds like the Tripp Lite Smart 1000 whatever failure mode.

It's definitely a Tripp Lite, but it was a 450 or 550, IIRC (it's nearly identical to an ancient Tripp Lite 450 I had ages ago, except it has buttons instead of slider switches). And no monitoring was being used; not sure if the UPS actually supported it or not, but if it did, there was no serial or USB cable between the UPS and PC.

I've seen a few that look like these http://www.tripplite.com/line-interactive-ups-system-desktop-1000va-120v-usb-port-lcd-screen~SMART1000LCD/ as Costco used to sell them and they fail just like that when the battery goes bad. It doesn't do any auto self-checking. I'm not surprised the others act the same way.

So when the coffee pot says "discard if chipped or cracked" they mean it. I had one with a tiny chip in the spout blow up on me this morning.

Man I hate being sick. Everyone at work is sick so it was only a matter of time. I woke up on Friday morning for work and was feeling some chest congestion. My Friday night my head was in a fog, my nose was blocked and I was wheezing and coughing up green lung butter. I went to CVS on Saturday to pick up some Mucinex Maximum Strength, some sinus pressure medicine for AM and PM, a bottle of aspirin and a bag of Vitamin C cough drops. This 50hr work week outside should be fun.
