I have managed to concoct an alcoholic beverage that tastes and smells like fuzzy peaches (the candy, but basically it tastes like peaches) without even using any peaches

Santa Cruz Mango Lemonade with three ounces of 151
Unless of course, they put out a batch of mango lemonade that was supposed to be peach lemonade. Could happen, but either way

It's awesome and dangerously tasty

extra time off work courtesy of government incompetence! unpaid, but whatever. i'm not hurting. and historically they usually back-pay us anyway. so free extra leave. i'm okay with this.

i kinda think that every 15 minutes that they dont reach an agreement, they execute a random member of congress. im definitely not voting for incumbents for awhile.

Mind you, when the federal government shut down the previous time, the rest of the world didn't bat an eye. I would remember traces of news being broadcast if it was a major enough issue, like 9/11, but I don't.

Yeah, it's just political maneuvering.

How is ticketmaster allowed to stay in business? Who are they paying off, and how much? Apparently the new thing is now they charge one MORE fee (for a total of three, one of them supposedly being the total collection of all fees), that isn't even disclosed until you've already paid it. First fee, about 50% of the ticket price. The supposed "all inclusive" fee advertised as part of the ticket price. Checkout time now - delivery fee. $16-20 to mail it to you express (even though the show is 10 days away), $2.50 to display a picture of it on your screen. Total displayed: $24-something. Submit, enter credit card info (no the **** you can't store my payment info), have to uncheck $7 "insurance" (I wonder if they've ever actually paid out on that) option. Total charged: $28-something. Undisclosed $4 fee added for "order processing." The name they used to use for the huge one that is now called "fees and charges."

The explanation of the fees on their website is essentially "the fees are the only way we and the venues make any money. We share the fees with the venues." Except the way it almost always works is the artist is paid a set booking fee and the venue collects the ticket sales. And ticketmaster actually owns almost all the venues.

My ISP reassigned my IP address, so now my router's external IP is a private IP behind one of the ISP's routers. Can't work on web server stuff anymore, since my home network isn't accessible from outside now.

On the bright side, I transferred my Blender POF export code to dropbox and have been making great progress on it through the use of Codeanywhere.

Just heard Tom Clancy passed away yesterday at 66. I might need to reread Red Storm Rising in the near future.

That might be a little extreme, but I do favour the idea that members of Congress should be docked two days' pay for every day government services are shut down due to such an impasse. Something tells me the Tea Party folks at the heart of this mess might think a little differently if they saw their salaries erased as a result.

Mongoose · **Reply #26110 on:** October 02, 2013, 02:24:35 pm

Given that most members of Congress are already very wealthy even without their (comparatively small) salaries, I doubt they'd really notice.

Then go medieval like the papal conclaves. You lock them inside, with no exterior communications untill they get an agreement. You rationate food as times goes by.

looks like one redneck with a gun is accomplishing what a whole room full of politicians cant do.

My new Android phone arrived today. Don't want to use it as a phone, just a test platform. But can't get past stupid activation screen. And none of the suggestions that turned up on Google actually worked. Bleh.

YAY! Just made an offer on a new vehicle!
BOO! It's a minivan.
YAY! It's not a ****ty domestic!
BOO! It's not cheap, either, and this manufacturer doesn't have a massive markup on vehicles that I can negotiate significantly downward
YAY! It's a swanky Honda and will fit all of my wife's and offpspring's crap!
BOO! It's still a minivan.
YAY! It's replacing an ancient 1997 Dodge Neon!

on floor in new apartment surrounded by boxes of my crap (which i have more of than i thought i did), posting on hlp from my raspberry pi (because its the first comp to which i found all the bits for operation), after spending an hour trying to figure out what my router password was. im the bright side we have faster internet, which is cheaper, and gives me 50% more ~~piracy~~ perfectly legit downloads (and porn).

i have to move several boxes up the stairs, and i am exausted from moving boxes all day and dont really feel like moving more boxes. seems like all i do is move boxes. ive had to have moved a ton of stuff, literally a ton. fortunately the previous tennants left me some weed in one of the cupboards.also i got my pfd and am now $900 richer.

omfg raspberry pi sucks, i get better performance from computers ive pulled out of the dumpster. need to dig out my good computer from this mess.

The idea for a parody song about the government shutdown struck me today. Based on Jimi Hendrix's I Don't ~~Live~~ WORK Today. Emailed the local radio morning show with the beginnings of the idea. They do parodies and spoofs all the time, would be crazy if they actually did this one and threw it on the air.

Yesterday as I got home from work, I was neck deep in the blackest mood I've had for a while. Even darker than the one where I ranted in here the other month.

What really gets me is that there was no rhyme nor reason for it, I had a good day at work and the mood only lasted the evening. When I woke up today, I was and still am in a rather good mood. A better mood I had for also quite a while.

Should I be concerned about this, or does it happen to everyone once in a while?
