Well don't that just beat all.
Somehow less annoying quasi-phonetic substitution for grisly? Gristly.

Cop followed me all the way home from work. Even used my neighbor's driveway to turn around in and go back to the main road after I'd pulled into my drive way. I don't really mind this but it has got to be illegal to follow someone so fucking close that had I needed to stop fast he'd have rammed his cruiser directly up my fucking tailpipe.

[Mongrel]

Any suspicion as to why?

I mean, my immediate guess would be that he profiled you as "not being able to afford a car like that", then ran the plate and left when he saw that you were driving to the actual address on your registration and was all "Oh. Huh.".

I'm assuming you were driving the Mustang (or Charger, or whatever it is).

[Joxam]

Challenger. It probably was just the car. Probably just expected me to be speeding.

[Mongrel]

Fair enough... still seems odd he would all but follow you right up your driveway.

Oh well, :dunno:

When I am President of Space, youtube intros over 10 seconds in length will be punishable by explosive decompression followed by reconstitution followed by explosive decompression

[Mongrel]

Those don't enrage me half so much as youtube ads (blocked at home of course, but I'm stuck seeing them at work). At least I can just advance past long-winded intros.

[Friday]

Well, yeah. I guess I just sort of don't count ads because they are a product of the society we live in and not the fault of the person making the videos. Intros are literally just a waste of my fucking time. I don't mind a quick logo or whatever, like I said, if it's under 10 seconds. But then they go into these hideous fucking songs with stupid video clips or whatever. It pisses me off the same way MySpace pagemusic pisses me off.

Ah, the days when you turned on the game before going to make a snack.

[Brentai]

Now you can't do that because you have to interactively navigate all the menus.

PROGRESS.

Well, you're the one that turned off autoplay.  Not saying I didn't do the same, just sayin'.

There's a hypothesis that computers get slower as they become more advanced, because we try to make them do more things. It's like when people get a raise and end up poorer because they find a way to spend the extra money and more.

I found out an organization I'm affiliated with was paying a large fee any time they wanted to add a new page to their website. They use a CMS system for in-house regular updates but return to the original site-designer for the new pages. So I volunteer to take a look at their set-up and do it for them, because it doesn't happen that often and honestly, that shit takes roughly 5 seconds.

So I get the hosting login information, download the site, open up a couple sample pages and find that instead of using any server-side includes, the navigation menu is hard-coded into each individual page. I thought that shit went out around 2000, 2001.

I'm looking for a tall lamp to put in my living room. I ain't too picky, but I am on a budget. After looking at the three tiny furniture boutiques downtown, I'm beginning to feel like Peter H. Cropes looking for a good honest lamp for a man. The last place I went to must have been the most pretentious single location I've ever been in. The store was literally called "OBjet", which I'm fairly sure I don't need to translate for you. Iesus, I don't know if that's better or worse than (poultry;). Their cheapest lamp was four hundred dollars.

The second store had an okay model I wouldn't have been ashamed to buy, but it was 130 dollars, which is about 55 more than I would have paid for it. The first store was a second-hand furniture store with one single lamp in it, a gaudy yellow glass/green glass/wood abomination.

I think I'm gonna have to break down and get a 20$ Ikea POS. It's not like I didn't try, local businesses. It's not like I didn't effing try.

[Mongrel]

Make one of your highly-flammable paper lamps!
