This morning on the way to work, I saw a sign at a church that read "Goggle doesn't have the answer to every search".
Well, of course not. Goggle sucks.
Are you aware of any real alternative? Yahoo is a thing of the past, Bing is ok, duckduckgo has a very small index compared to Google...

I just realized that I've had the theme song for Strawberry Shortcake rattling around in my head for the last few hours... The unmentioned benefits of having young children...
Not to mention your Avatar is a Sesame Street character.
Not to be too pedantic, but the Muppets != Sesame Street
hangs head in shame
You are correct. I though that was Grover for a minute. I stand correctted!

So @Nic do you get an employee discount on the weed?
Well the company I'm working for doesn't grow weed itself, they just fund this community. But I'm sure I'll get some samples from some of the community members
I'm sure you will find some Mango's for your new QA department

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.
Pssh silly Canadians with their October thanksgiving.
Yeah, silly new world with their thanksgiving...
Convenient excuse to eat turkey - highly recommend.
Had that once, wasn't that great IMHO. But I'll give it another try.
Deep fried turkey is the way to go. We used to do several every US thanksgiving, much cooler then our northern neighbors. They have an excellent crispy skin while still being incredibly moist on the inside.
Are you guys trying to convince me which turkey is better? Let's find out, you guy's can prepare some turkey when we visit 'merica some day 
Just got another letter from Toyota about a recall campaign regarding the
passenger airbag. Sounds like the gas cartridge can explode in some cases.
That's the third recall in, erm, 12 months?

Got my Raspbian image manipulation vodoo running, fully scripted, but ran into this "won't fix": https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/+bug/530000 
Will create a new version that will use some real armhf hardware, mount the image and chroot into it.

Just wondering once more about Netflix' navigation scheme.
Translated: Added 11 shows and movies during the last five days.
But you can't click on that to get a list of the new content. Odd.
Ooo, Advent Children is on Netflix? Hmm, Civ VI or Advent Children...
Why not both? I enjoyed Advent Children... but I'm a big sucker for pretty much anything Final Fantasy, lol.
Edit: The new Kingsglaive looks like it might be interesting too.
You just need the right "hardware" to enjoy FF:

:(. It snowed over night. First snow this year and we never got a heavy frost at all this year!
Aaaahhhhh it burns my eyes! Keep it away from me
(Frozen) water burns your eyes? Just curious: When was the last time you took a shower?
It's the frozen falling from the sky sub-zero celsius kind that I am allergic to
Coldest month of the year (predicted)

Ya I don't read my FoxPro book much.
I think I might have some NT 3.51 book somewhere. Oh, and I'm sure I still have that HP-UX documentation that was delivered on CD. Included with the documentation was the first CD drive I had my dirty hands on, some single speed SCSI drive with a caddy.

I really enjoyed the Mastering vSphere series. I have not read the one on version 6, but the ones on 5 and 5.5 were rather enjoyable.
Because 50% of the book was about how to handle that SSO mess? SCNR

For anyone else who's wondering wtf fruit is doing in an electronics project
Raspberry's, Banana's... will order some Orange's soon, too
And a HiKey for sure. I expect them to deliver a huge performance boost in every possible way.

Automatic partition table creation / manipulation of raw disk images using sfdisk and parted. Sounds easy enough, but there are dozens of possible pitfalls:
- source image file not found / no access
- target image file issues
- underlying disk full
- boundaries
- optimal sector alignment
- ...
You have my sympathy! I went through a bit of that (way less technical) when dealing with FOG
Yeah, got a little headache but it's working now

@coliver I've built a couple systems with NZXT cases now, and really really like them. They're large, but the internal space is amazing to have compared to the cases I've used in the past.
What about the quality? Thin metal? Sharp corners?
Rolled edges or edges deburred all the way around, no splinters or cut fingers. Metal is a little thin for the size of the cases I've worked with, but they also almost always have thick plexiglass windows on one side of the case, and the opposite side of the case is sturdy. The interiors have always been painted (their mid-range generally), and even with the side panels off are solidly built. No bending from exerting a little to much force. I really like the additional internal fan mount to provide better airflow across the graphics card(s) and top of the power supply as well.
Thanks, but I've got really enough "Windows" running on the machine, don't need any in my case Would prefer sound dampening foam instead.
