Thunderstorm directly overhead. Weekly Palomar observatory volunteering status: quantum uncertainty, exists between lightning flashes.

Are you getting any rain down there? I got about 1/8th of an inch up in LA County.

EDIT: Oh, there it is.

Just got out of Fenway to see the Fighters Of Foo. It was all manner of ****Awesome. Dave Grohl sat the Guitar Throne and kept his subjects in thrall with a musical masterclass. I feel like I ran seven miles up hill.

Missed high tide due to laziness, but about to drive a half hour out to the remote beach in the hopes I can have some fun skimboarding on my really ****ed up feet on my one day off.

Right after having this slice of pizza with hot dogs in the crust.

Thwarted in my attempts to skim once again. Halfway there, I discovered a quite sizable rip in the crotch of my trunks. The round trip to change would have made it late enough that it wouldn't be worth the trip.

**** it, I'm just going to play ACII and maybe rocksmith until an irresponsibly late hour, then go to bed and **** up my sleep cycle.

But first, listening to Rammstein due to the music thread. And more of that hot dog pizza.

I'm a bachelor from Monday through Thursday night (no wife or kids at home), so I hope to catch up a little on my 9 year backlog of games. I better start downloading Wolfenstein: The New Order from Steam right now through my slow DSL connection in case I want to play it this week.

13.5 hour workday due to shipyard medical appointment that moved at the speed of navy healthcare. Then had to drop my car off for maintenance and walk home. Because it's godawful hot outside (106 heat index (that's 41C for you metric types (yes, I know Celsius isn't metric but they tend to go together))) , stopped at the McDonald's along the way to cool off and get some lunch. Therein I had to fend off a creepy middle aged woman who was looking for a sugar daddy. At the McDonalds. And because I'm a very polite person IRL, I had a long and very awkward conversation with her. The McDonald's staff asked if I was in duress when I went up for a refill.

Where's the shudder/heebee jeebees smiley?

Another routine maintenance, another several hundred dollar surprise repair bill. Small hope that it's under warranty from a previous repair, but this involves taking it from the shop to the dealer and back again. Already going on 3 days carless. Maybe the dealer will throw a loaner at me. Either they grossly ****ed up the repair, or I'm going to be paying them several hundred dollars if it's something different. Both of those should be good for a courtesy car for a day right?

Klaustrophobia · **Reply #29413 on:** July 23, 2015, 11:32:58 am

Also, I just made my first (and hopefully only) ever social media rant (unrelated to car, but perhaps due in small part to the bad mood it put me in). Some ****head(s) started a 'story' about radiation from Fukushima mutating dandelions and attached a photo of some deformed ones from goddamn 2010 as proof. Now this **** is trending/going viral. I'm actually surprised by the amount of intelligent comments, but that's a pretty weak silver lining. It's escaped into the wild of the internet. All of us here know that no amount of rational thought and calm debunking will stop the internet at large from running wild with it. As demonstrated by the OTHER half of the comments, which I can objectively say contain the absolute STUPIDEST comments I've ever seen on the internet.

As I said in my rant there, PLEASE don't help this garbage spread by sharing or reposting it. Even to deride it. The people responsible know it doesn't matter if the meat of repost is calling them out. All they need is to get the headline and photo under as many eyes as possible, and it's a net win for them.

Apparently there will be a huge heat wave for the next week

In the interest of doing stupid things I put together a 10.8 mile (17.38 klicks) run through the hills of NH and ME. I am now busy grilling a rib eye paired with a local craft brew Belgian Pale Ale to reclaim those burned calories.

One week using Windows 7 and I'm already sick to death of UAC. Why in the hell isn't there a built-in whitelist to make it stop *****ing about certain executables?

Phantom Hoover · **Reply #29417 on:** July 27, 2015, 08:08:12 pm

UAC's a great idea! "How can we make our operating system more strict about giving programs permissions? I know! We'll train users to click the 'run with admin privileges' button without thinking!"

Mongoose · **Reply #29418 on:** July 27, 2015, 08:38:42 pm

Honestly. After install I changed my main account to a standard user, because that's what good little secure users do, and now I'm getting six goddamn UAC password prompts every time I start up for the various mobo/GPU utilities I installed. Not to mention that the Intel Rapid Storage Technology utility can't even run on a non-administrator account. I thought 7 was supposed to have tuned down most of this bull**** from Vista, but apparently not. Honestly I'm on the verge of just converting my account back to an administrator, security risks be damned, because I don't want to deal with this nonsense.

Oh, and the best part is when it makes you type in the admin password just to delete a ****ing shortcut from the desktop, because it was something that happened to be installed for all users.

(And yes, I looked up ways to eliminate UAC prompts, which include dealing with scheduled tasks and/or downloading some sort of MS compatibility utility, but the point remains that I shouldn't have to.)

Klaustrophobia · **Reply #29419 on:** July 27, 2015, 08:47:27 pm

Yeah, I just run as admin. And disable UAC.
