Lexx Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) Firefox updated and now everything is garbage. :/ There could be some bugs or issues with a particular target build. But in the grander scheme this is factually wrong. I've been following the development of this update very closely, and it's really nothing short of amazing. If you are having issues, I'd recommend sticking things out. Maybe using an older version for the time being. Btw the newest version is 57. Most of my addons aren't working anymore. I even had to install a new IRC client, because chatzilla - that I was using for years - doesn't work anymore. Also the interface looks like crap now... probably also because my classic theme restorer addon isn't working anymore. My web developer toolbar isn't showing up anymore either. tl;dr -- everything is crap now.

ShadySands Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 For about 20 minutes this morning I efreshed the backer page every few seconds to see if the beta had been released. Got my key as soon as it popped up and plugged it right into GOG like it mattered since I was at work and couldn't play it anyway. First there was a feeling of joy and a sense of accomplishment but that was quickly followed by an uneasy feeling and a bit of regret as I slowly came to the realization that I had absolutely no desire to actually participate in the beta. Now I wish I hadn't redeemed it so that I could give it away to someone who might enjoy it. Free games updated 3/4/21

Calax Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 Runnign my store, seem to be doing a decent(ish) job given little feedback. Had to fire a kid because he was using fraud to get his numbers up (and just pocket a bit more cash). We uncovered this over the course of a day where my boss basically said "So, we gonna fire him or you want something else?" It went from us deciding to maybe fire him over his attendance and attitude problems to my boss being on a conference call with the corporate security team. Got a call from the customer today, apparently this kid threatened to kill our customer if she ratted him out. She's a touch rattled and I can't help but consider that I might get shanked by a disgruntled employee in the near future. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

Tale Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 Ahh getting shanked by a coworker. I'm feeling nostalgic. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Lexx Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 I, too, shanked with a coworker once. My god, what a time. And that ass of hers... I am not much an arse person, but damn, with that jeans on... 15 years later and I still have that image in my head. Shame it didn't went on for long, but I guess it was better that way. Now I feel kinda old. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Raithe Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) Heh. Okay, I've gotten involved with the D20 society at the university and getting back into some tabletop rpgs. Sitting there with the other students, and one of the girls talkign about character sheets and keeping them after time because they feel like your "kids" in a sense. Everybody agreeing with her on hanging onto old character sheets, and I made a comment that I still have some of my earliest characters in a box from when I started playing DnD back in '93 or so. The DM just.. stopped, went silent and had this incredibly odd, broken expression. I poked him and did a "Tim, you okay?" And he kind of muttered a "....You have ..character sheets... older than I am." I replied with a "Giving you a fresh perspective on some things?" He just did a slow nod and a "... yeah. Why aren't you the DM??" Edited November 17, 2017 by Raithe 2 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Hurlshort Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 I bought a refractometer and had fun testing the levels of my beer to determine ABV.

Guard Dog Posted November 19, 2017 Posted November 19, 2017 A decision I've been avoiding making cannot be put off much longer. Opportunities might soon be lost. High risk, high reward opportunities. But tonight I'm wondering if the best risks are those not taken. I am not a man who agonizes over decisions. The right thing to do is usually self evident I've found. Not this time. I think the thing to do it sit on the porch and listen to the night sounds. Most answers can be found that way.

Keyrock Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 We had our team building event for the company I work for (my full-time job) today. We went up to Gopro Motorplex in Mooresville and raced go karts. Good time had by all. Ryan, the branch manager, had the best lap time of the day, as usual, but at least I had the second best lap time and the best of anyone in the warehouse. My lap times were garbage in the first race as I was getting a feel for the track and the handling characteristics of the karts. In the second race I scored my best lap time of the day once I had the course well memorized and got a feel for how hard I could push the karts through the corners. I probably could have beaten my lap time in the last race since I pushed a couple corners even further to the limit than before, but I was pushing too hard and lost time by overdriving a few of the other corners. I know I left at least a second out there on the track but am overall happy with my performance. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Lexx Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 I'm searching myself to death right now and can't find anything useful.... Can anyone tell me if light bugs / fireflies exist on the Fijis / on tropical islands? First I thought "well, sure they do", but then I started to google it and... I am actually unable to find anything about it. Wikipedia says "warm humid environments, stall water, long grass", which kinda fits it... but what I want to hear is a "yes, yes they do", preferably with video proof. Do we have any bug experts on these boards by chance? "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Not a bug expert and don't know about Fiji itself, but last I knew there were none in the Hawaiian islands - although I think they tried to introduce some once, no idea how that went. Maybe they don't tend to like areas that are year round tropical? Like the island in Korea that has a lot of them and most of the US areas will still have chilly winter temps. I dunno tho. 1 “Things are as they are. Looking out into the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.” – Alan Watts
