    At the art dealer I learned that people into Baroque were out of Monet.

    Anyone here an expert on IIS SSL bindings?  Google has been useless for my issue.

      Actually maybe. Though I broadened out of the specialty in 2013, it's still in my general area. What's wrong with the binding?

    I asked a friend from England how his July 4th was today.  It was all in good fun of course.

      @thanatos I like Heathcliff a lot. In fact, one of my favorite books of all time was a Christmas edition regarding him that I still treasure for years called, "Heathcliff's Night Before Christmas". :)

    You think Star Trek: The Motion Picture was bad in the theater?  Try being 10 years old and being brought to Dune at 8PM.

    1. IntelliMission

      The only I-shouldn't-be-watching-this-movie moment in my childhood was when my mom brought me to Batman in 1989 (PG13, I was 9). The violence was not much more than the DC comic books I was reading at the time, but seeing it on the screen was different. I vividly remember "the taste of cool violence" when the Joker was killing people for fun.

       

      Dune is kind of scary even for some adults and I found it disturbing the times I watched it on the TV as a kid, so watching it at 10 years old on the big screen must have been a traumatic experience.

       

      As a kid, I don't think my parents ever brought me to a movie that was too complex or without enough action. In retrospective, it would have been cool.

    2. thanatos

      thanatos

      Oh, I don't mean trauma or scariness, that stuff I thought was neat.  Most of the movie was so slowly paced I slept for at least half of it.

    3. doctorclu

      Didn't see Dune in the theaters.  Hope to remedy that with the next Dune movie.  :D

    Years ago, at a Dave & Busters, my wife had spent all but 1000 of her tickets.

    "Anything else?"

    And then she said "I would like 100 rubber snakes."

    They had to go back and get another box, and count them out.  It was hilarious.

    Ever need a 'Come to Jesus meeting' of plastic lids to matching containers because half of each are missing?  Yeah, first world problems.

     

    I just wanted to put some leftovers in the fridge and it took 3 tries.

    1. GoldLeader

      Hehaa!  All the time!     Seems like something that would be easy huh?

      Ah, the story about how Jesus fed 5000 people with five loafs of bread and two fishes, and had plastic containers ready to put away the leftovers.

  10. thanatos

    I have a brief cameo in the latest Kent Rollins youtube video.  But even the few here that have actually met me might not even spot it.

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Awesome!   Now,  I don't know who that is...At first speed read,  I thought it said Kenny Loggins, but then I read it again even quicker, and came up with Henry Rollins...So I read it regular speed instead of trying to get through it in .04 nanoseconds and thought Cool!  Who's Kent Rollins?   (heh)

      @SlidellMan Yup!  His recipes always look amazing.  I got to meet him and his wife, and try the food in person.  They are the nicest people you could imagine.

    Haven't turned on my PS2 for about 3 years until tonight, and the clock had the right date and was only 30 minutes slow.

    And I bought it new.

      Such a fantastic unit the PS2 is thanatos. It's one of my favorite units of all time. 8^)

    I should probably clean out my office more often.  I just found a CompUSA corporate credit card, from a company I quit in 1999.

    The Astley Paradox: If you ask Rick Astley for a DVD of the movie “Up”, he will not give it to you because he is Never Gonna Give You Up. However by not giving you Up, even though you asked for it, he is letting you down.

      Haaaa!  Fun stuff...I decided to vote...No!  It's worth Way more than $50!! 

       

      Believe it or not someone threw out some games/DVDs when they moved (Air Force guy-reassigned), and my friend found them in the trash.  He gave me everything he didn't want.   Right on top was a copy of Earthbound!  It was worth at least $90 loose back then!

      OK, @BydoEmpire -

      That was likely where I initially heard it, probably in and around when I was studying mixtures in nursing school, realized that it was , in fact, "correct", tho a "silly".

      Ozzy has all the answers.

      Definitely a goofy, fun "guilty pleasure" sort-of film. I reviewed it some years ago: http://cheeptech.com/arcade/reviews/midrev/middvd.html

    I was at the liquor store in the Scotch aisle.  A woman next to me takes out her phone and says "OK Google - Call my baby daddy."

     

    There's no punchline.  I just kinda chuckled and thought "WTF".

    Gave someone a Christmas miracle.  Found a drivers license on the ground at an ATM, and their address was only a mile away, so I hand delivered it.

      I didn't even look at the birthdate.  It was a younger person, and it was pretty apparent the dad was the one answering the door.  Needless to say he was shocked and very thankful.

  21. thanatos

    %$^&^*#@#.  I think our furnace is about to die.  Guess I know what I'm buying for Christmas.  Whee.

     

    Edit for clarity-

    No, I am not hinting for donations of any kind.  Just pissed off and ranting!

      look on the bright side, your heating bill should end up lower

    2. thanatos

      thanatos

      Probably not much, sadly.  The heating bill in winter is half what the AC summer cost is.  But maybe this will help with that too.

      Ours would just randomly lock up from time to time.  Needed a reset.  Had it repaired a few times, but it never fixed it.  Was just old.  We did the reset method for years.. ;-)   Finally replaced it last year...  The newer ones are much more efficient, so that is nice.  But of course, it will take ages to offset the cost of a new one.  But that wasn't the driver to replace it, just a nice benefit.  Good luck!

  22. thanatos

    Taking donations to get a new bike for our child.

     

    Wait - My wife wants a 2021 Ford Bronco.  Close enough I guess.  Gofundme link to follow.

    So I showed my wife the Jaguar Game Drive cart and explained what it does.

     

    "So, you can get rid of all those carts then?"

     

    Uh.  Shit.

    Had a big-toe nail removed today because it was ingrown.  Just in case anyone is interested.  :D

      I had a big toe nail removed because it was ingrown on both sides.  But the doctor missed part of the root so it halfway grew back on one side.

    3. VectorGamer

      VectorGamer

      You don't have to have the whole nail removed. I had just the sides cut out where they chronically grow into the skin. Then had the chemical burns just to those spots so that part of the nail never grows back. I have not had any problems since I had the procedure.

    4. thanatos

      thanatos

      My doc recommended removal, cutting the bad part would probably have just let it do it over again later.

       

      And as for @CPUWIZ - I did take a picture, but no, not going to send that one to anybody.  :D
