costco is carrying JIF again, no refund for the skippy I bought last week though.

Also, comic sans makes a great coding font.

YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE!

[Strazos]

I doubt you will ever see Schild in NJ.

Hell, I wouldn't be in NJ either if I had a choice.

[Signe]

New Jersey must hold the record on abandoned mental institutions, too.  They're everywhere.  I'm not surprised at the number, just at the fact that so many are abandoned.  I can't imagine they run out of people who need a room.  This also explains the number of obviously insane people wandering around places like Camden and Newark.

[Raging Turtle]

Well this is surreal.  The girl in the blue shirt in the new Onion girlfriend video and I sat next to each other for about 7 years in middle school and high school band.  Weird watching friends talk on TV.

They put them in houses now, at least in NY. All the old sanitariums are prisons 

[Yegolev]

The verdict is in: I'm an asshole.

[Merusk]

I didn't realize it was up for debate.

Or is this the verdict where a beverage company is the dick?

[Yegolev]

No, it is simply another shocking marital revelation.  Nevermind that I basically had a massive mental breakdown last year and subsequently recovered... I'm just an asshole.  No one else is incredibly difficult to deal with.  No sir.  Just me.




By the way, I love these fucking smileys.

[Cyrrex]

By the way, I love these fucking smileys.

Finally, now we have 10 out of 10 assholes who love the smileys.

We (husbands) all get the asshole label every now and then, don't sweat it.  And now here comes Signe to tell us how her lovely Righ is never an asshole, and gosh NO, she would never call him one under any circumstances.  Yeah, yeah, go pet your cat.

[Yegolev]

Oh, I'm not sweating it, which is one of the huge reasons I'm an asshole.

[Rishathra]

My current favorite.

[Merusk]

What's really fun is when you're in a fight and say, "Yes, I'm an asshole. I've told you this for years. I've never denied it and I was the one who applied the label, so calling me one isn't going to cow me into changing my mind on this. Get over it and leave me so I can fix MY finances or stop spending so goddamn much money."

Then you get stabbed in the ass.

[Merusk]

Hey I typed "and" instead of "or" there.  Freudian whoops.

Ha, we've had this conversation, except she was saying I wasn't being a gentleman.  I just replied that I'm not a gentleman.

HOWEVER I think that even a gentleman would have gotten irate over visiting friends who are terrible dog-parents that let their adopted greyhound piss on my floor.  I mean, I see the dog do the squat and start pissing and I exclaim "Oh, no, don't do that!" and somehow I'm a bad person because I might make our guests feel unwelcome.  Hey, guess what?  THEY'RE NOT FUCKING WELCOME IF THEY DUMP PISS ON MY FLOOR.

Do you guys have any idea how much piss is inside even a small greyhound?

[Cyrrex]

I was once locked in the back of a canopy covered pickup truck with two medium sized greyhounds (roadtrip, kids tossed in the back).  One pissed, and it was a lot, and it was horrible.  Then the other one took a dump, and all thoughts of smelly greyhound piss were washed away in shock and horror.

A proper gentleman would have hit the thing with his cane.

[Sky]

Dogs and children are not allowed in my house.

[Merusk]

Sky is the modern day W.C. Fields.

[Sky]

I am. I was telling my fiancee that if I had a million dollars, I'd buy a bunch of junkers and drive around ramming into shitty drivers. Turns out WC Fields made a movie called If I Had A Million about exactly that (it's on youtube).

[Yegolev]

Is there anything ambiguous about this picture?  I think I'm being very clear that P/M cannot overwrite D/S and that the CDROM images can be put anywhere.

[schild]

Do you have a decoder ring for it?

[Salamok]

I think I'm being very clear that P/M cannot overwrite D/S and that the CDROM images can be put anywhere.

When your single line explanation is clearer than your full page chart it might be an indication that you are doing it wrong.  Add to this that the chart would have to be understandable before it could technically be considered ambiguous and things go a bit beyond that.  Way to obfuscate though, job protection FTW!

[Lantyssa]

If your network map is correct, then yes, it would be hard for P/M to interact with D/S.

[Trippy]

Is there anything ambiguous about this picture?  I think I'm being very clear that P/M cannot overwrite D/S and that the CDROM images can be put anywhere.

I wouldn't say it's "ambiguous" but it is confusing. The way you have it drawn visually the pairs of boxes are "coupled" more tightly together than the lines. So if you ignore the lines for a sec, it looks like on the left side that XT37:/CDROM is the network connection of /DBEXPORT (you are missing a ":" too). I understand you are trying to show the filesystems of each machine grouped together but the physical -> network relationship is getting lost/difficult to follow.

Also if the point of the picture is to show that the two different /DBEXPORT dirs on M&S are never both accessible via the filesystem on a single machine you are doing a good job of hiding that fact.

[Yegolev]

Grrr.  Well, then, I have no choice but to learn Hindi.

[Merusk]

Don't fall into the trap of training your replacement! 

[Yegolev]

It's about not falling into the trap of doing stupid things (and extra work) because someone does not understand nfs.  This particular fool couldn't replace me if he wanted to.  I'm trying to be accommodating by explaining the situation, but what I'm about to do is tell him that I know what I'm doing, so buckle up, shut up and enjoy the ride.  Pee ess, stop telling me how to do my job.

I need a vacation.

[Salamok]

I need a vacation.

To India?

[Yegolev]

I need a vacation.

To India?

As long as I could go by myself, sure.

[Merusk]

I hear Divorce is one long, pleasant vacation.
