Cross posting from FB About 25 minutes ago I walked into Menards. I did not find the item I was after so I pulled out my phone to check for the other option and my phone turned off. It then began quickly grow hot to the touch. This kind of wigged me out so I quickly exited the building. My phone is a Nexus 5X, not an exploding Samsung. Then, when I went to enter my car, the keyless touch pad didn't work. I had to pull the physical key out and the fob was also incredibly hot. I could not reactivate my phone until I was a good distance from the building and the battery in the remote was new 4 weeks ago. The key fob was so hot I couldn't pry the battery out then and there. My phone was so hot I couldn't keep it in my pocket. When the phone came back on my battery was down to 5% and the battery in the key is drained.

There was a lovely "teen" place by me that lasted for like a year that pretty much had a basketball court, dodgeball, a handful of lame prize games, and the random Ferrari game off in the corner. That game owned so hard. Now I'm just sitting here thinking about all of the vacant store fronts from failed Vape and Boost Mobile shops by me, and how cool it would be to open an arcade.

There's a Barcade in Indianapolis that was pretty neat when we were down there but by all reports it is massively hemorrhaging money because the games are free play and hipsters don't pay for poo poo unless they're forced to.

Update: Dave and busters sucked I spent like $120  E: also, the project binky blog talks about issues they're having. Turns out the exhaust and alternator will occupy the same space, so they're going to put the alternator where the distributor lived, and run it with a jackshaft. Of course, because of this, they've taken up the distributor space, which means moving to coil on plug. Queen_Combat fucked around with this message at 05:43 on Sep 12, 2016 |

It sounds pretty dope but as always Espressif doesn't bother to document the crazy poo poo it has like apparently its built-in CANbus? I'll wait a few weeks until I've dug out from my pile of other electronic garbage.

CharlesM posted:Happy 9/11 So my roommate was watching the Cowboys football game today. When Bush walked out to do the coin toss, my roommate just went apeshit about how Bush blew up the towers, how he hopes there's a sniper in the crowd (WHAT THE gently caress?!), and accusing me of being "a loving conservative Bush lover" when I said "WTF?!". He wouldn't shut the gently caress up until I told him to start packing his poo poo or close his mouth. He still kept trying to argue poo poo for over an hour.I'm a dirty liberal (especially by TX standards), and never liked either Bush, but I don't wish death on anybody. That's so many kinds of hosed up. And his rear end is getting booted, I don't need that poo poo here (and was already looking for a reason to boot him anyway).

I don't wish death upon anybody ever (even people who pass on the right). But because I don't wish it doesn't mean I don't plan for it. At least 75% of my time during Nov 4 2008 was spent waiting for a racist-fueled headshot  . Not planning for it, but steeling myself against the craziness.

Oh god don't even tease about that. Declassified stuff is what I dream about, and I assure you that, right now, at least ten people with very interesting (and, in at least two cases, deeply intersecting) stories are rotting away in some prison that isn't Guantanamo*, waiting for their almost-assassination story to be published. *I say "not Guantanamo, because I was chief field medic there, and nothing of any seriousness is kept there. Honestly, it's an "if I told you..." scenario, in the most boring way possible.

God drat it. I found out yesterday that my best friend from high school's husband was in critical condition from a sever blow to the head. Woke up today to see that he'd died. She and I were not that close these days but it's like a punch in the gut knowing she's in so much pan.

Somewhat Heroic posted:Hang in there buddy. I don't wish away the newborn phase but at like ~9 months they just become such a hoot! Terrible twos didn't exist with my daughter but three sucked. Now that she's four it was like a light switch for her being a total sweetheart. My son at two is a turd. Throw a Rokform case on that SE, and it'll bulk it up a bit, but not too much, plus give you really good protection, and an optional magnet built in to the back. I've got one on my 5, and had one on my 4S. Plenty of drops with nary a scratch on the phone. I'd also like the address the "one-button" mouse thing: The Mighty Mouse and later mice, while technically having only the one physical button, aren't actually been one-button, if you aren't a numpty and set the button preferences. They have sensors for finger position under the shell to determine which finger you're clicking with. The Magic Mouse is fantastic, especially since it's finally rechargeable (though the choice of position for the charging port is stupid.) Also, the roller ball on the Mighty mouse, while initially great, gets dirty and oily pretty quick, and ceases to function, so gently caress that thing. Not as bad as the old hockey pucks, but almost. The standard configs usually come with the Magic Mouse now. Personally, I sue either a Magic Mouse, or a standard 2-button PC mouse. Almost any USB mouse will work on a Mac. nm posted:I don't think so. Every android phone I've owned or used has a plastic or metal rim around the edge that rises slightly above the screen. Does a surprisingly excellent job protecting the screen from drops. My current s5 has a really hosed up edge from drops, but the screen is ok. One of the bumpers or a thin-ish hard rubber case is really all that's needed. No need to go full armored up. As noted above, I like my Rokform. Raluek posted:And none of mine have, nor have those of my family members. Phones cost several hundred dollars, can't you be at least a little bit careful with them? This, too - what the hell do you people do with your phones, use them as frisbees? On a personal note, this past Saturday was my 47th birthday. I don't fell older, just old (still). Had a steak dinner with my wife on Friday night, Free breakfast at Dennys on Saturday, and went and saw Independence Day: Resurgence at the second run theater Saturday evening (not bad, Brent Spiner's character was fun). Free bowl @ Genghis Grill on Sunday, and I've got coupons for a free cone at Baskin-Robbins, and a free sammich @ Wich Which for this week. I'm cool with free stuff for birthdays. Deeters posted:I rewatched Fury Road for the first time since I saw it in theaters. It's still very good. Watched about a third of it last week testing the new Bluray drive in my PC.

^ I only got 2 More food chat - Flew from big island of Hawaii to Maui yesterday and ended up sitting next to a super cool woman who was showing me photos she took of her boat trip to see the lava going into the sea. Talking more to her turns out she co-owns a restaurant which was just featured on Diners Drive-ins and Dives a few weeks back. She and invited my wife and I over for a meal today. Just saw the episode and the food indeed looks tits. I'm actually excited for my late lunch this afternoon.
