    1) gogo hydroplane! (I had a very similar experience one day on the 580 onramp by Telegraph in the east bay; my toyo wonderwagon did a complete 360 and just kissed the guard rail; it was scary|fun)

    That's just the universe reminding you that getting on 580 is never a good idea.

    I'm in the UK, and this test was over powerline adapters, happy with what I've got, so much better than I had three months ago!

    I hate you both. I get about 1.4 down and 0.8 up.

    I've had a cold for two months. The symptoms are minor, I just can't seem to shake it off. >…<

    Just about everyone I know is dreading Valentine's. I can't see why though... discount on all candy and chocolate after the holiday. :P

    The frugal shall conquer!

    Done with my meeting with my advisor. It wasn't fun, but it's done (until the next one in 2 weeks).

    My poi/flowlights from raveready finally shipped... From BLACK FRIDAY. -.-
    Stupid back orders.
    I like my steak like I like my Magic cards: mythic rare.

    I really want a flowlight staff. It's so expensive though.

    My office actually closed for a snow day today. Seeing that we wouldn't have had a holiday until Memorial Day, I'm pleased that this storm is hitting hard (but not too hard).

    Wiki editing is tons of fun and more people should do it.
  • SkyeSkye The Duchess Bellatere
    It's only fun until you get into an edit war with someone totally anal about the way things should be phrased.

    Rave: Starting to work on more complex reports and coding now that I've learned a little more and one of the formulas in the report I'm working on atm is "=If [LY Day DS Revenue] <> 0 Then ([TY Day DS Revenue]-[LY Day DS Revenue]) / [LY Day DS Revenue]"  When I saw that I had a little nerd chuckle because they don't want you to divide by 0 and I instantly started thinking about all those pictures you see of the black hole that's created when you do and was like "Wow, even the person who built this report originally is making sure the universe is safe"

    Raves for the humans' chocolate and confectionery industry, for a successful profit from yesterday's celebration.
    Further raves for the oral hygiene sector of the medical profession, for a speculated increase in business over the coming solar cycles.

    @Yang are you telling me that it's actually possible to get a good cup of coffee in the US?
  • SaevaSaeva
    It's possible! You just have to know which cafes to go to! And who the good roasters are!


  • EldEld
    @Valden I don't know why you would think otherwise unless you're judging based on Starbucks and the like, which would be like eating at Taco Bell and then being amazed when told it's possible to get good Mexican food here.

    @Yang, out of curiosity, what's the brewer you were having trouble with?

    You should come to melbourne, about the only places that do bad coffee here are Starbucks and Gloria Jeans.  Hell, even McDonalds can pull off a pretty good coffee

  • YangYang
    @Valden Yes, there's TONS of places to get a good cup coffee in the US. On the national front, Intelligentsia (Chicago/SF Bay Area/NYC), Blue Bottle (SF Bay Area/NYC), Stumptown (Portland, Seattle, LA, NYC), Ritual (SF Bay Area), Metropolis (Chicago). There's also a ton of smaller ones you just kind have to look around your area to see if there's anything (in Michigan there's Anthology (roast their own) and Astro (import mostly from SF Bay Area but really well prepared) in Detroit, Zingerman's & Ugly Mug Coffee in Ann Arbor (roasts their own), Madcap and Rowster (roast their own) in Grand Rapids.

    @Eld the Aeropress. Yes, it's super easy and forgiving in a lot of ways, but I've yet to get a consistent cup or one that I can take a sip and say, "Yes, this one was good."

  • EldEld
    Huh, I actually haven't seen that one before. Looks like it's basically supposed to be a manual espresso machine?
  • YangYang
    Not really.. I mean.. it's capable of making a really strong short cup of coffee, but I'm hesitant to really call it espresso by any means. Especially if you follow the manual it comes with - suggesting that the water temperature should 175F-185F when most coffee experts agree that 195F-205F is the standard. It's really convenient in portability/traveling (provided you have a hand grinder and water source). Let's be honest, it's made by the same company that makes frisbees (including the one used for the farthest throw for Guinness World Records)

    I'd like to thank @Kresslack for being a completely ballin' dude and helping me fix a problem with my computer that I've not been able to fix for near  5 months. Hurrah! 
    You're quite welcome.
