The pain in my neck is really starting to be a pain in the neck.

On the bright side, you've been on fire with wordplay lately.
RIP Tony Benn (1925 - 2014)

"There is no moral difference between a stealth bomber and a suicide bomber. Both kill innocent people for political reasons."

“If we can find the money to kill people, we can find the money to help people.”

"I'm not frightened about death. I don't know why, but I just feel that at a certain moment your switch is switched off, and that's it. And you can't do anything about it."

If he's on fire, we should put him out! Isn't the pain in his neck enough? Does he need to burn, too?

The good news: I no longer have a headache. The bad news: now that my headache is gone, I can turn my full attention to my sore feet. The worse news: in the past year or so my arches have gone from "mostly normal" to "lol ground i love you 5ever".
Long Live The Queen.

I boot up my computer today, and it would seem that it's completely forgotten that wireless internet is a thing. The light that indicates the wireless adapter is on is on, but all functionality related to wi-fi has mysteriously vanished. How the fucking Christ does that even happen?! Did Microsoft really fuck up that badly with their last update or is my laptop just giving up on life?

Is there any way you can toggle your wireless off and back on again without rebooting?  My machine occasionally derps the wireless, but mine's just a little USB dongle, so I can just take it out and back in and it works just fine after a few seconds of reconnecting to the router.

I tried to do a system restore, it failed but somehow I ended up getting wireless functionality back, so I'm just going to assume it's fixed. Computers are weird.

I had that happen to me not too long ago.  Tech support said it may have been my DNS was dropped or something.   I don't know.    I didn't used to be so clueless when it comes to compies, but now... fwooosh over my head.

Remind me never to watch the news again. Blissful ignorance is far better than powerless anger.

I worked for over two months on a modpack for my server, tweaking configs, gathering permissions, creating MineTweaker/ModTweaker scripts, and released it to the server's regulars asking for feedback when they get the chance.  Only to have the server admin, about two days ago, create a modpack of his own, highjacking the conversation I started for my pack, a pack that looks the world like an "everything and the kitchen sink" pack, and he gets fucking feedback.  The motherfucking thing I laboured for months to get working, to balance...and I'll bet you anything that it'll be for fucking nothing, now.

The admin of my grad school's mailing list is a fucking idiot. I just seemed to get a notification that some 3000€ were wired off my bank account... except that after my heart started beating again, I noticed that it's not about my account, but the school's. The bank sent the notification to the mailing list.

This is not the first time something like this happened. The mailing list has regularly distributed all sorts of spam for years, so I had it blacklisted anyway. I found this in the spam folder.


Edit: Though this reminds me of the time someone hacked the university (not the 40-student grad school, the 30000-student university) mailbox and resent the invitation to the Christmas Ball... enhanced by some suggestive sentences and a link to an escort service. Good times. (I didn't read it anyway.)

That said, I've stopped trying to anticipate what people around here want a while ago, I've found it makes things smoother.
For I was an hungred, and ye told me to pull myself up by my bootstraps: I was thirsty, and ye demanded payment for the privilege of thine urine: I was a stranger, and ye deported me: naked, and ye arrested me for indecency.

We just had a nearby lightning strike and the bastard fried my Xbox. For fuck's sake, I only just replaced the bloody thing a year ago.
