There should be a german word for the smug feeling you get when someone overtakes you like an rear end in a top hat and speeds off only to be made to wait at the next set of traffic lights until you casually arrive behind them.

For the record I was doing the speed limit down a 30mph single lane road when 2 cars that were hanging on to my tail decided to zoom past only to be stuck waiting for me further down the road.

Schadenfreude seems appropriate for this situation. Or maybe autoselbstgefälligkeit. Vehicular smugness, which I'm pretty sure I mangled horribly.

The withdrawal from it is horrific enough that I refuse to even try it. I'm pretty content with Celexa.


the withdrawals have sent me to the er before its pretty scary (been on a massive dose for 10 years now) hoping to change to something else but i've been hoping for like 3 years now.

Corn in the fridge generally winds up as corn in my stomach (along with a little salt, pepper, and butter). Which generally winds up as corn in the toilet.

My point is I'm glad I didn't eat corn in the fridge today.

No. Morocco? Def not. Egypt? You've got to be kidding. We just got back from Croatia last month which was cool and good, but any further afield begins to get a bit too pricey. Maybe we'll just spend a week in Ireland. Nobody wants to bomb Ireland right?? :v:

the transfer rate of the SSD in my desktop is roughly 450MB/sec, which works out to a little under half a gigabit per second.

uh, unless your SSD is from somewhere around 2009, that's 450megaBYTES per second, which is approximately 4.5-5 gigabits per second. Multiply by ten for rough guess etc.
Modern SATA SSDs completely flood the 6gbps you get out of SATA III, and PCIe SSDs can hit 20+gbps all on their own.

The good news is your current wiring will probably run 10gbps just fine if none of the runs are particularly short, especially by the time it trickles down to consumer. I can run 10gbps over the ~30m lengths of twenty year old CAT5 in our walls and it works just fine (borrowed some gear from dad's office, stupid fast...)

I am having a BALL
god, my legs hurts from yesterdays bike ride.

my cancer treatment is going great tho, if everything goes to plan i only have 4 weeks of radiation left, then a 12week chemo and then...i should be done.

my not being crazy treatment is also going kinda ok, therapy really helps.

Our startup business is really going balls out. or, two of us are doing great and our third partner is...doing gently caress all. last week he did 12 hours of billable work. and since we take out pay based on billables that should not be an issue, problem is that i am working on one major contract that eats all my time, and work is stacking up for the two others due to one of them being so..slow. me being away probably did not help the situation, but in honest. the contract i work on is very long term and the only one i was hurting work wise with my "gone crazy" break was my self.

but in lighter news. i have been cleared medically to work proper firefighter shifts again, and will be doing a 50% shift load for the FD from next week. i cant wait to be back doing what i love.

oh, and also. i ate fresh baked bread with goat cheese for breakfast, alongside two glasses of orange juice.

Truth. If Verizon was sticking around, I wouldn't be surprised to see gigabit here in the next few years, but they sold all of their wireline services (which includes FiOS) in Texas to Frontier - which means there will never be any form of infrastructure upgrades done, ever.* (former Frontier employee here)

I don't plan on needing 10GbE, it's just be nice to have the wiring in place. I'd just need a new punch down block, new switch, and new patch cables (probably CAT6 certified keystones too). I plan to move every PC's primary stuff to a SSD (backed up to an internal HDD, plus a cheap NAS), and it seems transferring files from my SSD-equipped PC is capable of making two computers in the house just fall over and curl up in the corner bawling. And in theory, that should only come halfway to maxing out the connection to each system; the transfer rate of the SSD in my desktop is roughly 450MB/sec, which works out to a little under half a gigabit per second. Even the ancient Pentium 4 2.8 in the next room has onboard Gigabit, but just running speedtest.net's speed test makes the PC completely unusable for about a minute.

edit: I know there's some home theater nerds in here. Still moving forward with the plan to move the TV to another wall. Really stupid question, but what color keystone jacks would you go with to make it obvious they're not meant for actual ethernet? I was thinking orange or green; everything else that's already wired is blue or white (and I still have a box full of blue and white keystone jacks). I'll be using the typical HDMI <-> ethernet <-> HDMI adapters.

2nd edit: when we got our computer "upgrade" at work, they left self-stick cat5 jacks stuck to the ceiling, which promptly fell off thanks to all the grease - despite there being keystone jacks with unused ports literally next to most of them. Boss is going to pay me to go in on my day off and either wire that poo poo to the existing (or new, since I have at least 15 or so of them here) keystones if I can, or if it's an area without an existing jack, just install a new wall plate with an old work trim ring behind it (since they'd be in the ceiling tiles). The mess is driving both myself and my boss crazy. There's so many jacks labeled "data" in the store that are likely not hooked up to anything; it was built in the early 80s, so they're likely CAT3, if that, and probably not hooked up to anything anymore. I'm going to have to come up with some kind of invoice to bill the company with, no way in hell am I doing this on my normal hourly wage.

We need to figure out what the gently caress the breakers in the store do too. 3 breaker panels, one of which is almost 100% doubles. But the panels are so (physically) hot that I'm honestly afraid to touch any breakers without turning them off from smallest to largest, probably with a very long broom handle; I figure I'd get a nice BBQ arc flash otherwise. Electric meter shows a nearly 180 amp draw, when we have 100 amp service... pretty sure the subpanels bypass the main breaker.

You got bit and byte mixed up. Gigabit maxes at 125MB/s. Your ssd is nearly 4 times faster than Gigabit.
