OT: Name some things that drive you fucking nuts

You look close at the Fusions and the Prius? Not sure about the Camry, but both the Fusion and Prius are available in a plug-in version.

/Wife drives a non-plug-in Fusion Hybrid, so I know a lot about those specifically.

Well, they were not plugged in, the plugs were neatly coiled on the wall. Only the leaf was plugged in.

And the Prius was a few years old, not one of the newer models.

Yep, burn 'em then.

Reminds me of a parking lot near my work. There are a lot of compact spots in one area that are typically filled with Explorers, Armadas, and such. Saw a Hummer there. Was tempted to leave a note on the windshield that said "Compact refers to the size of the car only."

Uh oh.

I might get called up to the mothership again.

I just found evidence that a particular giant corporation in computing that is usually sarca$tically spelled with dollar signs omits older signatures for viruses and worms from their corporate anti-virus updates.

They don't like it when you find holes like that.

Mental note: when running a portable air conditioner unit it is wise to remember to OPEN the window you have the air hose connected to. That way your room will be 16 Celsius and NOT 49 Celsius. Oh my oh my bed time shall be delayed

I don't think most viruses subscribe to the model of planned obsolescence.

Reviewer #3...

Whoever it was opened with a sentence saying our work isn't interesting anymore. Then told us all our work was wrong. Except, we showed experimentally that it was right, and our math is all consistent. So...

Relevant to our "Share a Coke" discussion last month: new job...I have a mini fridge in my office. Booyah.

Calgarians who keep asking if I have been to the Stampede.

People who brag about office appliances while I am drinking lukewarm water.

 

[elocomotive]

Man - I cannot drink room temperature water.

Congrats on the mini-fridge, Pix. You can put six packs of b... soda in there.

I suppose that's only bothersome when you're not packing heat.

 

[Darkstone42]

I only drink lukewarm water. I don't like it cold. Usually ask for no ice when I get water at a restaurant, too.

You must have some British ancestry, they love lukewarm water.

Europe in general...they don't believe in ice. The crazies.

Just water? You could add tea, beer, and even food to that list.

Hahah, if only I didn't work on a dry campus. My coworkers would probably sneak 'em though, we've already concluded we're all beer people, thank god. They even said this week "obviously we can't ask that in the interview process, but thank god. Not sure a non-beer lover would last here."

I do, actually.

Hot tea is clearly superior. And stouts, porters, and most ales are better at 60 F. Lagers, bochs, and pilsners should be cold, though. The flavors are strongest when the beers is served at the temperature at which it's fermented.
