Chess date devolved into an argument about programming styles and languages and then led to some busy body accusing me of domestic abuse.

 

Still won the chess game and frankly, the brace needs to be on its own line.

Watched a couple of documentaries about Jihadists, a French documentary about a journalist that managed to infiltrate a small group of them and a Belgian one about youths and how they are treated in Belgium.

It's scary how much those young people are like the neo-nazis I've known, and used to be friends with. It's also a bit humourus that both groups of people would like to kill me and behead me for that comparison.

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

The grim reaper is gaining in on them.

 

Woke up ar 2.30AM, throwing up and feeling miserable. Spent more time in the toilet than in bed. I want to play Tyranny later, but I don't know if I have it in me. Will probably force myself and throw up on the keyboard.

Last night I played match-maker for two friends and helped hook them up with each other, hopefully it goes better for them than the election did for the country.

Indeed

 

I haven't touched a rifle since I got out but I have no doubt I could still field strip and reassemble an M16 with my eyes closed

 

Just like I still know the Rifleman's Creed word for word

USMC indoctrination is strong :p

In the words of Gen. James Amos, 35th Commandant of the Marie Corps:

 

A Marine is a Marine.  I set that policy two weeks ago - there's no such thing as a former Marine.   You're a Marine,  just in a different uniform and you're in a different phase of your life.  But you'll always be a Marine because you went to Parris Island, San Diego or the hills of Quantico.  There's no such thing as a former Marine.

 

Or Maj Kevin Keaney USMC:

 

You cannot exaggerate about the Marines. They are convinced to the point of arrogance, that they are the most ferocious fighters on earth- and the amusing thing about it is that they are.

 

Or Gen William Thornson, USA:

 

There are only two kinds of people that understand Marines: Marines and the enemy. Everyone else has a second-hand opinion.

 

or Gen John "Blackjack" Pershing USA:

 

Why in hell can't the Army do it if the Marines can. They are the same kind of men; why can't they be like Marines.

 

Or Gen John Vessey USA:

 

We have two companies of Marines running rampant all over the northern half of this island, and three Army regiments pinned down in the southwestern corner, doing nothing. What the hell is going on?

 

And last but not least Eleanor Roosevelt:

 

The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!

Waiting for a package with spare parts to be delivered, their website says it's been delivered, while I haven't recieved a text message yet saying it has arrived.

 

Going to my friends place for some PnP later, killing time by watching shoe0nhead's videos until then.

Tired as hell, have'nt slept well for a couple of weeks and it's really starting to take it's toll on me now.

I'm ordering a new laptop and trying to decide between an IPS or OLED screen (the former is only 1980x1050 and non-touch while the other is touch and 2560x1440). Normally I wouldn't upgrade for another year or so but I have some credit I need to use up and my dad needs a new laptop so I'm going to give him my current one and use that as an excuse to splurge a bit more than I ought to.

I just published episode 2 of my podcast, this one focuses on Marzen and Octoberfest beers.  I am not sure when it shows up on iTunes and the GooglePlay store (episode one is up there) but it is available on my feed.  Big shout out to Azdeus for the feedback, I played around with some sound setting so let me know if it sounds any better.  It's a bit hard to tell.

Don't do it unless you have to.

I have a feeling the real trauma is going to be when all the tests come back negative, proving the whole thing completely unnecessary.

Well it was bound to happen. I got a call from the tenant in my townhouse. They are nice folks by the way. Couldn't be happier with them. The problem is the microwave oven trips the circuit breaker every time they use it. All the breakers are 15A which is as high as the county will let me go. So either the breaker is weak, which I can test by just replacing it. There is something wrong with the microwave (it wasn't new anyway) or I will need to call an electrician. I'm hoping the first is true, can live with the second, dreading the third. I just changed the battery in my Fluke 902 Multimeter, packed my tools and away we go.

They certain it's not the ground fault breaker? Don't know if they're as common in the US as in Sweden since they're mandatory here.
