[Rant] Minor Rant III: For a Few Hollers More

Bah.

I guess I'm at least fortunate to not live in one of the counties who had their water poisoned by the coal companies.

If the newly wed woman at work could just shut up about her wedding and actually work that would be great. It's bad enough you wasted so much time planning the wedding do we have to endure a year of newlywed laziness? You've been living together for 12 years! You just blew a wad ofcash updating your tax status!
 
I hate how when you blow your nose it all just ends up shooting through the lame ass tissue.

I'm going to grab my fiance, a homeless guy to witness, run into the courthouse, get married, and use the money we save to take a 3 month honeymoon travelling around.

STOP THE PRESS!

Fiance? When did this occur?

It's fiancée - unless your girlfriend has turned into a boyfriend which really would be interesting news.
 
I think it was a hypothetical, like "When I get married, I'm going to..."
Yes.
There, rumours reinstated. Celt Z is Chad's fiancee.
Also yes!
Yes! Bigamy!
Oh, there's another guy? I'm way too selfish for this. No.
Well he was very nervous about meeting his girlfriends family over the holidays.

Imma sayin' he'sa gettin' hitched!
And they were wonderful people! I was happy to have met them and spent time there. I did not propose.

I have really nothing to say except... I am appropriately ashamed for having forgotten that. Particularly since I've felt good about how my French is improving.
 
A while back I purchased a copy of Abbey Road off of iTunes. Since my discovery of the six CD changer in my car, I decided to burn a copy to a CD so I could have it in the car.

#### iTunes burned the album backwards. It now starts with "Her Majesty" and ends with "Come Together."

[user]Calleja[/user] can tell you how annoying this prospect is.

I guess that makes the Abbey Road medley useless.
The downside of digital copies is that they don't always play in the right order. I can never get "Sgt Pepper's LHCB" and "With a Little Help from My Friends" to play back to back, so they always end/start awkwardly. (Usually I have the albums on shuffle, so that's my fault.)

I had this problem with Pink Floyd's The Wall disc 2. Some lovely "friend" of mine stole my original one, so I downloaded the songs and burned them to cd. The songs have a 2 second pause between them. It makes me crazy.

I have this same problem with a CD I used to play quite a lot. Back when I had no taste whatsoever. Luckily, it's one I don't regularly listen to anymore.



..Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavoured Water. Limp Bizkit. Man, I had no taste back then :p
 
That 2-second pause is part of what the burning program assumes you want.
You have to manually leave it out if you're trying to do an album that has gapless playback.
iTunes has been giving people fits about it since iTunes 9 started.

Bahahaha. I used to listen to that band (and specifically) that CD all the time! When I was 9-12.
 
I've never understood why some people seem to delight in trying to be know-it-alls. A fellow neuroscientist made it a point to tell me what he perceived to be several flaws with my recent tattoo, stating that I may want to get it re-done since it wouldn't be functional in a real network. He was flat-out wrong in everything from identifying the specific cell types I chose to its functionality (and I corrected him on this). It doesn't bother me that it was about my tattoo (art is subjective, after all) or even that he was wrong, but that he acted like a superior twat in the process. Scientists already have a bad enough reputation for being ivory tower elitists, and it pisses me off to no end when people seemingly take pride in living up to the stereotype.

But enough bitching.

And brain cells aren't ink injected underneath the skin, either! Everything about that is wrong!
