    Hey guys can I go back in time to England and tell George VI to not smoke?

    I don't see anything wrong with that proposition.

    My grandfather thought that emails that you delete in Hotmail Outlook go to the Recycle Bin and that's kinda adorable.

    Reminds me of when Grandma discovered the copy/paste function on her phone and I had to explain how it works.

    "It says 'copy'," she said, "but where does the copy go?"

    the clipboard, duh

    that is exactly why they went with a copy paste metaphor

    rather than some bullshit like "kill rings" in emacs

    See, her assumption was that when you "copy" some information, the phone makes a copy and stores it somewhere. She was basically thinking of what would actually be called "save".

    that is what "copy" does. it's just that the "somewhere" isn't in persistent storage.

    I mean, yeah, I know that.

    It's just that this wasn't immediately obvious to my 70-year-old grandmother who never owned a smartphone or computer until this year.

    Fun fact: The processor in my grandparents' computer is a 3.0 GHz Celeron D.

    This online homework thing for my surveying course requires me to enable Flash. Lame.
  • Had a job interview today.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    how'd it go
  • It went okay. The actual interview could have gone better, but the skills test I absolutely aced.

    Also, the reason why my Sims 3 disks can't be read is because of a faulty CD/DVD disk drive. 

    Fuck.

    A Coca-Cola machine at OSU's Independence Hall charged my credit card $1.50 but failed to, y'know, dispense my Coke.

    On one hand it's only $1.50 so it's no great loss, on the other hand...I'm kinda salty about it and want my money back.

    Once when I was in undergrad the vending machine's software crashed and took five bucks from me.

    (Apparently, for some reason, the machines we had charge your card $5 up front and then refund the difference when you buy something.)

    Our put a hold of $2.50 on your card, which is really weird because the drinks are all uniformly priced at $1.50.

    I'm bored.

    The novelty of the new PC wore off fairly quickly.

    I have peanut mochi.
  • I went with dad to a PC repair place to get my laptop fixed, but it was closed for lunch. So instead we went to the Aldi next door to get mum some cheap flowers. They were selling massive sledgehammers for a tenner.

    you need to stop believing everything you read about Americans because I have lived here for 22 of my 23 years and have never ever ever heard anyone call a lie a "porkie". If anything it sounds like some kind of weird sexual term.

    It's in British English. Porkie pie is rhyming slang.

    (A pork pie being a cold pie consisting of pork meat and jelly in a casing so dense it could kill a man if thrown.)
  • Jelly? What kind of jelly?
  • image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.
    Aspic.
  • Hey that sounds pretty good. I thought it was an ungodly concoction of pork and grape jelly.

  • There's sometimes a hard boiled egg in the middle of all the meat stuff. I ate quite a few pork pies back when I ate meat.

    Same with Cornish pasties.
  • image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.
    The type with egg in is called a gala pie. Because you can't have picnic foods without silly names.

  • 'ckin 'ell, I'm so sick of my phone being broken and I'm scared that I'm not going to be able to get the insurance on it because I rooted it and now I can't get it back to stock

    like, I know that it's either a hardware issue or just straight-up something wrong with its ability to read the system partition because the download mode and bootloader still work and I was able to get the recovery back on it relatively easily; it wasn't anything that I actually did that made it stop working but they're gonna be like "oh, you modded this thing, we can't help you, hors d'oeuvres" and I'm going to Actually Be Up A Creek

    the worst part is that this is coming so damn close to when I was actually due to upgrade that it just makes me feel like filing a claim wouldn't even be worth it for whatever deductible we end up paying on it and UGH FUCK THIS SHIT FUCK HTC FUCK SPRINT FUCK EVERYTHING UGH

  • So I've handed my laptop in for maintenance cleaning, as the disk drive doesn't respond when I put disks in. I failed to realise that in my laptop bag were left over birth control pills, which the woman at shop left me a voice mail asking if I needed them. I don't, but it was a "whoops, should have cleaned my bag out" moment.
