Perfectly good, windless days...


...during the week. By the time the weekend arrives, all we have left is wind and otherwise nasty weather
 
Crazy people on the internet.

Shorted something and promptly got accused of being un-american. wut
 
Probably close on 1.5 - 2lt water per day

coffee - nope
soda - only on weekends
enough sleep - about 7.5hours - not that I would call the sleep I have as decent though
holding my nose - nope - sneezes get released in all their glory
staring at pixels - 8 hours a day

That's what does it for me, every time.

Chronic headache sufferer and I know I must get my eyes checked out, as I'm 58 and have never worn glasses. Time for them, maybe.
 
Events that upload official photos to only a Facebook page (and you're not on FB) :mad:
 
When you make money on the market going down, not up - your profits hinge on some stock / asset depreciating.
So if you were shorting Apple stocks, you'd be hoping they go down in order to profit.
Some banana might then accuse you of being anti-American, because you're betting against a great American company (or something like that.)

Really cool movie (and book) on the topic:

Paranoia intensifies - I can ping the router at home, and browse the FTP on it, but I can't reach either of my PCs behind it. Have they been stolen? Did the plug they are on trip? If so then the fridge will also be off because it's the same breaker... Maybe the router just needs a reboot. Maybe the office burnt down, or even worse the police raided my office.

Getting more and more paranoid now.

I doubt you are that important!

That is the rule for any Eastern Cape coastal city / town.

The old joke: How do you know it is weekend in East London? It is raining and the wind is blowing
 
The one that I know:

Q: How do you know it's the weekend?

A: You look out the window

Don't worry, I will look after them. You should have upgraded a while back, the resale value is crap
 
Windows 10 that refuses to detect any of my hard drives during a reinstall. Apparently a bug with 1803 and certain motherboards.

And now I can't seem to find my Windows 10 1709 ISO anywhere :(

LOL, turns out it's the ancient Proline 2000VA UPS I have, we had a pretty big power outage in Stellenbosch today with Jamestown still being off when I left work at 4pm. The UPS was in a state of panic when I got home because the battery is fubar. Both computers run of it.
