'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
He fixed it! A switch blew out, who knows why. He replaced it no charge, and now I can feel the cool air blowing. YAY.
Oh, man, how I appreciate people who make my life better.
It is 85degF outside, and the air is LITERALLY trying to kill me. I also appreciate modern technology for making my existence possible.
Yay for A/C! It is only in the mid 80s here today, alas the humidity is also mid 80s so a sticky mess. Things are hot and sticky and tropical stormy where Polter-Cow is cruising. I hope things are entertaining for him indoors because he isn't going to want to be lounging on deck.
I call them directories, but I've been using UnIx since 4.2BSD in 1985, and it's too late for me to change.
It's 85 out today but still cool in the house. I want to do something outside but it is insanely windy. In fact, there is so much wind that I can't see up north due to a giant dust cloud.
I have planted a bunch of flowers today. Not the hard stuff since I need someone to watch Sammy while I do that but all the flowers and small grasses are planted. The front of the house looks great.
US or UK LoM?
When fandoms get confused: I misread that for a second and was all "There's a UK version of LotMS?!" (Life on the Murder Scene, the Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge-era MCR documentary.)
I have stretched, picked lemons, and made lemon cordial. I am now verra tired.
ita, if you want a bit of the world to drop by, I have your bottle still to return to you. I've had it forever it seems.

I gave up a few years ago, because the software we were implementing explicitly used folders in their documentation for their organisation metaphor, and now it's whatever comes out. I don't kick myself when folder comes out now, but *now* the software I'm working with calls them "spaces" and aaarggh!

The jug I gave you sorrel in? Yes, it has been forever, I think. But I'm not really feeling up to interacting with people who aren't giving me painkillers. I'm just braced against pain right now. But we should work out seeing each other sometime before your kids graduate university.
I had to think, but directories is my standard. I would know what people meant if they said folder, but spaces, not so much.
I was assuming for a while that a "space" was something different, like a root folder in their hierarchy, which might have different features than all the others, but the application consultants said, nope, this application uses the folder visual and the word "space". Very irritating, but I have to speak the same language as the developers and its users. Fuck that, I'm still saying dates my way though.
Okay, so looking at this top that was linked to here, what can you wear over it? I'm trying to visualise it under my jackets and stuff before I decide to spend money on it.
Came home from hot sweaty errand running to discover the house is 74degF and climbing, despite that the system insists itself is on and working.
I'm glad that your AC is working now, but I had to giggle, because we keep the AC set to 77 here, so I'm pretty chilly if it gets much below that.
