Super Aggro Crag is going to post a lot about losing his job, then his new one, then not liking it. Someone is going to door his new car and he'll lose it, posting nonstop about how bad things always happen to him. STR modem and phone chat continues. I don't understand half of it and I work in IT. Rhyno eats a lot of meat or Klondike bars, possibly both at the same time (!) and then everyone talks about Five Guys or how the beer they like is clearly the best beer (spoiler alert your beer of choice sucks and mine is better, but I like all beers to idk) Bape Culture posts something snarky and a few people get annoyed while I chuckle to myself. That corn guy may or may not be stalking him. fjelltorsk PS4 v Xbone chat continues, and really man it all just comes down to the age of your kids and the games they like, but just remember the lego games that all kids love come on both so it kind of doesn't matter that much (I own both). Geirskogul gets his bus back to AZ and we all rejoice WELCOME TO AUGUST AI, I LOVE YOU ALL!

Adiabatic posted:Aww man NEAI didn't even make the list. OH WE CAN KEEP THIS GOING kastein buys the rear half of a car and puts it in his pickup. No one is sure why, but everyone is excited because it's possible he'll join it with the front half of that other car he already has. Adiabatic continues to be truly AI and we all still continue to wonder if he is infected with an alien children of the corn style because he seems so different than when he got all hellraiser torture porn on that Evo years ago. TT posts at least one picture of his dog, which is growing into it's paws, but still adorable. 15 perfect in every way emoticons are used. Seat Safety Switch announces that his tumblr has become so popular that he's signed a publishing agreement to write slash fiction about Antoine L'Estage and Andrew Comrie-Pickard.

I'm amazed the drat thing can even get online; the phone modem (why they sent a modem instead of just a normal networked phone adapter is beyond me) keeps losing sync.I had my phone looking like this last night. The original battery was glued in; my heart stopped when it made a loud CRACK when the battery popped loose. I swore I'd shattered the LCD.  AND IT'S NOT AUGUST DAMNIT. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT'S AUGUST, BECAUSE MY BIRTHDAY IS IN AUGUST AND I DON'T WANT TO BE 37.

In 4 weeks my team and I will be putting on one of the coolest amateur racing events in the US. Things have gotten interesting for the Virginia City Hillclimb. Toyota has announced that Scott Pruett is going to be driving one of their ALMS cars at the event. In addition to that we have a McLaren P1, shoeish's stupid fast 1000awhp GT and a host of ridiculous cars. This will be by far the fastest crew ever at the hill.

Holy poo poo. Just got an email from my health insurance saying they finalized the claim for the hospital visit.  I'm very confused. Happy as a pig in poo poo, but confused. I haven't hit my out of pocket limit for the year yet (though I am close). Oddly, my PCP hasn't billed for my visit yet, though the lab that did the bloodwork has billed (and I also got a $0 bill for that too). The IOP I'm enrolled in told me they can hold off on billing for up to a month when I mentioned I was very close to hitting my out of pocket limit.

Does logitech make anything half decent? Seems not. Sick of busted mice and keyboards! A few keys on my mk700 died. I've got a old wave pro setup I shelved because the mouse busted, but can't find the usb receiver.

Ls seems best way to make big, reliable power cheaply! I can get a ls3, fitted in my m3, for ten grand! And it'll spank most anything worth less than about 10x the money. Imo

Fo3 posted:Does logitech make anything half decent? Logitech's cheap wireless stuff (ie the $20 wireless keyboard/mouse set Amazon sells) is excellent. My limited experience with the more expensive Logitech stuff is that it's rather garbage - with the exemption of trackballs which are all excellent. I've owned a variety of Logitech trackballs since the early-mid 90's and zero issues. Also the Logitech nano receiver things are all interchangeable so you can get your wave setup working if you fine one and figure out how to program it.

Back to job chat, couple of weeks ago I got a call back from a place I had interviewed with in May wanting me to come back in for a final interview with their CIO. Went in early Friday morning and they offered me the job on the spot, it'll be a 10% increase over what I'm making now with a 10-6 shift that's more agreeable for me (gently caress mornings.) Only down side is there's a 90 day waiting period for benefits, but I'm going to call them on monday and ask if they'll waive or reduce it if I agree to sign a one year non-compete clause. I'm a bit conflicted because while my current job at the K-12 IT support place doesn't pay as much the work environment is pretty chill and my current manager has a very good management style - tells you what needs to be done and then allows you to do your job - I really can't turn down that big of an increase. If they want to meet or exceed the offer I have I'll stay but I'm doubtful they will, from what I've heard from my coworkers raises are like unicorns and the turnover rate is pretty high.

Fo3 posted:Does logitech make anything half decent? Halfway decent? Yes compared to other options. As high quality as 10 years ago? No. At least, that's how I feel based on the mice I've had. I've got a wireless ergonomic one that's heavy and solid feeling from 2005 that is still working that was their top of line at the time (laser MX I think?). It's starting to die though so I keep it at work and at home use the 'performance mx' which feels kind of cheap and lightweight. I'm also overly sensitive to the quality of materials I touch often and want them to all feel solid (like steering wheels and shifters) so I don't know how trustworthy my opinion is. I'm not sure what alternatives there are either. Most people seem to buy cheap mice, but since I spend so much time touching one I'd be ok spending over $100 for a good one as long as it lasted. Bape Culture posted:What's the best thread to ask about ls motors in I think the closest we've gotten is the 944 LS thread, but I haven't seen that updated in a while. I don't know poo poo on the topic, but would like to read the discussion wherever it occurs so I can learn more about them. Has anyone here even been a part of a build like that? Because if they have they should be posting about it!  Geoj posted:...they offered me the job on the spot, it'll be a 10% increase over what I'm making now with a 10-6 shift that's more agreeable for me (gently caress mornings.) Congrats on the offer! How are the growth options at the new place? And did you like the CIO and ask him questions? Does he have a good vision and leadership style that will be passed down to your manager? If the answers to those questions are yes, I'd take the new gig. Edit: ^^^ I feel like we really went down the pizza chat hole in May or June amidst one of the best this or that forks in the road, but I could be wrong. I've been working too much this summer so my sense of time is all messed up. Mat_Drinks fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Aug 1, 2015 |

My limited experience with the more expensive Logitech stuff is that it's rather garbage - with the exemption of trackballs which are all excellent. I've owned a variety of Logitech trackballs since the early-mid 90's and zero issues. Most of my logitech stuff has been the pricier kb+mouse sets because those keyboards have the padded wrist rests that I like. For cheaper stuff I usually get corded microsoft. No luck on the wave USB receiver, it's the older type that has a connect button on it, so no newer logitech receivers I have work. Seems they are NOLA too, plus not worth buying one because I can't remember why I even stopped using the wave kb, might be broken. I know the mouse was, and maybe I chucked the receiver away with the mouse, forgetting I still have the keyboard. Anyway, I fixed the mk700 kb. What a way to spend a saturday night, hunched over the keyboard film with a loupe and running over traces with a pencil. All good now except the caps lock LCD display icon doesn't work and the power switch is a bit dodgey. While apart I was going to give the underside of the keys a light spray with silicone lubricant. The nozzle on the can broke and spray went everywhere. Drowned the keys and then ran out the door to chuck the can out, the floor got enough spray for me to be almost slipping falling over a few times tonight since then. Now it's time for a few drinks and catch up with project binky. Fo3 fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Aug 1, 2015 |

I'm a fan of mechanical keyboards these days. I've had a few for a couple of years and I've had no issues with them. I want a model m but I have enough keyboards and I don't know if I want to spend the money.
