A national catastrophe is NOT a business opportunity and any sentiment to the contrary needs to be squelched right the gently caress now.

Huh. Amazingly, that ticket about hard drive full I got yesterday wasn't a complete failure to delete stuff on the user's part, though there still may be some user error in there. IE was failing to manage the Temporary Internet files folder properly, and it had 30 GB of crap in it. What's weird is that a large part of said crap were MP4 movie rips that the user had loaded, watched, then deleted. What they were doing in Temp Internet Files I have no idea. She's not knowledgeable enough to have put them there on purpose, given how buried the folder is. Again, thanks for the reminder of WinDirStat. It helped me locate and nuke those files in about 5 minutes.

Fortunately these days it is extremely uncommon for men to be unceremoniously cut off from custody while paying child support etc. Here in Utah there is a pretty high amount of divorce because there is a high amount of marriages. Most people I know get split custody pretty much standard these days. A loveless marriage sounds horrific.

It worked, they have a great selection. Hendricks is an oddity, I've not made my mind up about it, but I only like gin a little so it's not a priority. Picking up another bottle of whisky is as I'd like a choice, nice though this jura is.

Yamazaki 12yr is a good one that my friends and I like quite a bit, the last place I got some was Tesco. In other boozenewz I was out a week or so ago and my lady was getting the round in, I asked for a shot of Suntory Hibiki because I'd never tried it and she returned from the bar looking confused as to why the round cost so much. Turns out The Victoria in Birmingham charges £14 a go on Hibiki... it was lovely though, far too easy to drink. I'd be broke and wasted in no time on that outside of the fact it was £14 a shot

Been fuckin with my air compressor and I've run aground on the shore of electric and torque maths. Got this puppy a while back (May of last year) and been having a few itty bitty problems:
Got the whole shebang for $40. Not too shabby, but I really want this thing to keep working for a long time cuz it's pretty badass so I don't mind spending some dough on 'er.

Thats a nice looking compressor. Back when compressor motors were made in the US. Continuous duty cycle as well. Most are "compressor duty" these days. Is it wired for the correct voltage, are the contacts in the pressure switch contactor ok, is the start/run capacitor in spec, and was it sold with any issues?

Despite the fact I dislike gin so intensely, Hendricks is noice. I used to hate gin but then I got turned after discovering that I could turn cheap gin into really really tasty stuff by chucking Damsons into it and then leaving it in the cupboard for 6-12 months (In a week or 2 I shall have a shitload of Damsons available if any of the UK crew want to come get em! good crop this year) Hot chocolate chat - have you had the Hotel Chocolat chilli one? its awesome (its also really expensive but does feature real chocolate). You've got to make it in a pan on the hob using 100% milk. I will probably have one tonight as I'm clearly lame too!

Mostly this. It's very difficult to talk about anything politics without people giving drivebys of their opinions and others calling them names and the tone getting nasty real quick. Then I get a bunch of reports about the chat thread yet again devolving into a cesspit of yelling and namecalling. D&D has a bunch of really good rules they have cultivated over years of trial and error to cut down significantly on this, and they're still the subforum with the most reports.
