Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

You want these sleeping pills that aren't doing me any good? Excuse me while I chuck this bottle at the wall and be unhappy.
Only getting 5 hours of sleep means that there's nothing much to read on Halforums when I wake up.
But then, I already have shit to do because I completely forgot about cleaning the rat cage yesterday afternoon, so I know what I'll be doing for the next hour.

Reading what little there is to read on HF and not cleaning the rat cage?
Hey, I only delayed because Nyxie and Amun were cuddling and I didn't want to bother them. Once they remembered they hate each other like brothers are supposed to, I took them out and cleaned the cage.
I keep writing the letter J backwards. I never realize I do it until later.
Whiny rant:
We all have lives. Well, some of us have lives. A couple of us have lives. Anyway, those of us with lives don't have a ton of free time and sometimes we can't be arsed to read every single thing on the forum.
However, if we're going to take the time to reply to stuff, we should take time to read what we're replying to, not just skim it. If it's worth a response, it's probably worth making sure you actually read what was typed.
This is directed at no one in particular.
Except you.

While I've no contextual idea in which to place that comment, I shall reply with a hearty "No U!" in response.
I only skimmed your post, so the bolded stuff is all I got out of it. And that's close enough for me.

Seems like all the hard drive manufacturers these days are pushing out shit. I looked all afternoon for a TB+ size hard drive for under $100, and while they exist, a third of all the reviews for them on newegg/amazon/etc all said "DOA" or "tons of read errors within a week." Had to go up to $120, because the automation systems these things are going in? Yeah, I can't take a 33% chance on a drive shitting itself within a week.
Hard drives are like oil. The price went up after a disaster, and the companies decided they liked it that way, so they're taking their time coming back down. With hard drives, though, there are a lot of "grey market" drives that get out for cheap. If you want high reliability, you aren't talking cheap...you're probably talking about something like this set up in a RAID 1.

stienman, screw 'em. If they hold their customers in such disregard as to not only lie to you face, but to make up another lie when caught in the first, you owe it to the rest of us to drive them under. Publicly and loudly.
I had to deal with coworkers who held the hotel and it's guests in complete contempt. And a manager who felt about the same. All of the above are gone now. It's a much happier place to work.

My brain just did this, and I'm ashamed at how much it made me giggle.

Primary transmitter is hosed. It was brand new, too, barely had it 3 months I think.
Heh, it was displaying Forward Power wattage around 6 times higher than its setting, more than 3 times higher than the actual maximum wattage of the transmitter. Engineer had me power it down until he can get back from corsicana to look at it tonight. We're on backup transmitter.

Then the entire world would be walking around with 2 black eyes.
at least I can know I tried, I guess.
My Ricecooker died.german made cooker couldnt handle my asian rate of rice consumption.
I was going to give you hell about using a rice cooker. Then I remembered that all my Asian friends had them too.[DOUBLEPOST=1342017637][/DOUBLEPOST]Because it is a uni-tasker... use a pot.
A rice cooker will use less energy then a stove.And I never have to worry about my rice getting burned if I lose track of time.

Man, tonight's commute is gonna suck. Now that it's warm and dry, instead of having to worry about people not knowing how to drive in rain, we have to worry about people's cars stalling in the middle of the freeway because they've overheated and/or caught fire. My choices for tonight's drive home are basically down to drive home the normal route and spend 2.5 - 3 hours driving 24 miles, drive home going north and west around the lake and around the heart of downtown Seattle while racking up 53 miles and maybe shaving an hour off the commute time, or drive home going north and east around the other lake while racking up 40 miles and maybe shaving 30 minutes off the commute time. But at least I get to do it in nice weather.
