I'm told this weekend is a "grown up party" at my house in Texas. My roommate said that it is a party for her old friends. I thought that she meant her friends from childhood.

Nope... her OLD friends. Old like me.

Damn.. that's almost as good as Dustin upon seeming - damn you're nothing like I expected, you're OLD.

Average age on this board has to be mid thirties by my guess

I'm well below average. Or above... I guess it depends which side of average you are on.

High five my below average friend - this is one time I'll gladly and happily be lower than the bar.

That list is missing alcohol.

Ethanol is on there.

whoops, need glasses upgrade

Great deal that upgrade you want will only set you back $200 dollars after a $14,000 health insurance investment!

Not in Canada lol

Our new dishwasher sucks a bit: when the program finishes, it beeps five or six times. Not that bad, but if you don't turn it off afterwards, it will beep again every few minutes...

Now the "eco" program runs for nearly 3 hours and I had to wait for it to finish before going to bed.

New rule: Do not turn on the dishwasher past 21:00h.

Wait for it? From the man who wields a soldering iron with skill?

There's a speaker in there somewhere

When reassembling a laptop, how many screws should I have left over?

Anything less than 4 and you're trying to hard.

That was hilarious until I realized that my new truck is in the shop being worked on.

Ouch - the hard facts of reality.

"Hilarious" to "Damn near pooped myself" in 1 second flat.

When I get that thing I'm going to check all the god damn bolts myself.

Well, unlike a truck, if you skip some screws in a laptop, it's very unlikely that someone could die.

I would like to think that's the attitude of the mechanic whom I am currently trusting my life to. I think I will verify it anyway, just in case.

Reading a MSP contract with one of their clients and formulating a response.

Your challenge today is to somehow insert the word "trebuchet" in your response.

@Dashrender I spent a good 8 hours on Saturday trying to fix two of mine. Don't. Just nuke/pave.

Sitting at Starbucks drinking a coffee and catching up on here while the guy next to me is on a seven person video conference call using appear.in

Is that how you learned about it?

He was eavesdropping

Man, this 8 drive RAID10 is fast. It is absolutely blasting through 215 Windows updates.

Spinning rust? That'll get you pretty good performance.

@JaredBusch We keep the lids down.

As a single guy with no kids, I literally can't even.

"Hi,

I’ve been trying to achieve my Inbox emails since our email address will change here in the next day but, by accident, I deleted my whole inbox with all my emails in it.

I talked with one of my coworkers and they said that you guys would be able to retrieve all those emails if I provide the date and time that that happened.

It was on Monday October 3rd at 1:00pm."

Hey boss, I'm taking this afternoon off, Bye!

Just finished explaining the difference between mail rules and Out of Office to a user.

They've very quickly become an appliance. Choose your ecosystem and away you go.

Maybe I do just need to change my expectations.

What attachments would you like for your blender?

That's how I look at it now.

I agree with you, it's become rather boring.

@RojoLoco said in Schlage Sense Smart Lock:

I'll keep my door locks dumb, thanks. No reason to have a network connected deadbolt, especially if it only works with crapple stuff.

Indeed

If I decide to automate them (and I likely will) I will do it myself. That's a project I'd have a blast with haha.

@Jason said in Schlage Sense Smart Lock:

Just bought me a Schlage Smart lock.

I'm curious to hear your experience with it. How it works, when it unlocks, how the app? works, etc.

Trying to gather some real world data on living with these things.

Really excited to be on vacation in a few hours! Bought myself a half ton pickup and I'm going to put my boat on the roof and head up to my parents. Enjoy some thanksgiving dinner with them, then out to the middle of nowhere to camp and fish and hike.
