  2. What's the difference between an oral thermometer and a rectal thermometer? The taste!

  3. I was on IREM binge...and before I go, I found one pixel artist worth checking out:

  5. Happy birthday to me, and here are some things I found:

     

  6. Help!!! - Zelda II, Adventures of Link, Dialogue.

     

    Link goes to a village and someone tells him what he is looking for is not there or its in another village.

     

    What is the exact dialogue of the towns person?

     

    Thank you, Chris

  9. Hope you all are doing ok today.

  10. Thanks for all the well wishes for our dog.  Today was not the day, the vet had my wife bring her home this morning but they were still waiting on test results. They called later when they got them.  They were still bad, so now we are taking her back in tomorrow morning for the end.  I'm pretty irritated with them about all this, but at least my wife and I get to spend her last night together with us at home instead of a kennel.

     

    We've had her 11 1/2 years, and she was 3-4 at her rescue age, so she has had a good run and very comfy life.

      @SlidellMan Oh, I totally have experienced that too.  One of our previous dogs was a German Shepherd.  The hips were starting to go.  Put rug runners all through the wood floors so he wouldn't slip.  However what the final ending was because he got mouth cancer.  Amazing dog.

       

      As George Carlin said in one of his bits, "Life is a series of dogs."

  11. After nearly 23 years I think it may finally be time

  12. Ugh. New car purchase day is finally over. Went with a Toyota GR86. Should last 15+ years, I wager.

      Had to double check.  No, you didn't get the new Supra which is pretty much a BMW, which means it would last 5-10 years before becoming a money pit.  So congrats!

       

      Edit - those BRZs and GR86s really remind me of the 350Z we used to have.  My wife has never forgiven me for selling "her" car - even though it would be long gone by now since I got it in 2003.

  17. Our security cam just captured footage of a man wearing a Hello Kitty T-shirt looking around and then taking all of the candy from the bowl my son left out for Trick-or-Treaters and dashing off. Luckily my son listened to me and kept some candy in reserve so we could refill the bowl. All the kids were nice and took only 1 or 2 pieces.

      @Random Terrain We had the occasional lazy house with the bowl even 40 years ago. And the debate if we should just take all the candy or not. (I never did!)

      So I wouldn't make it a statement about the decline of society.  :D

      Hah, a coworker just told me he caught the same thing with his ring doorbell, but it was a kid in that case.

    I like Tabasco.  I just tried Tapatio brand hot sauce and it is good.  Sriracha is also on my list of hot sauces to try!

      @batari I found some Sriracha locally a few weeks ago.  Woot!  (Except they were charging $12/bottle, boo.)

       

      Also, check out the hot sauce thread.

      Also that Weber grill, I have the exact same one!  It's almost 20 years old, but they can last forever.

  22. Last night I broke 2 toes. :(  I can't go back to work for a couple of weeks because it's very tricky to drive a 5-speed for very long with a busted foot,  (Broken toes on my left foot).  So I guess I'll have to stay on the couch,  drink beer,  watch movies and play video games.   A wise man once said,  "It's a cushy job, but someone's got to do it!"

      Oh man, that sucks!  Hope you get well soon.

      I woke up Tuesday morning with a sore ankle with no idea why.  Can't freaking walk well, but it's gotten better.  Getting old sucks!

  23. Low Mississippi flow is allowing salt to intrude upriver toward NOLA. So if you're upstream, maybe give us a courtesy flush 😅

  24. Normally I wouldn't post work things, but a customer just asked if I could whitelist their IP of 192.168.1.1.  FFS.

      @Albert I may just have to reply that I did instead of trying to explain it!
