It's like they always hate when the customer knows more.
I do service work in a different industry and always tell the customer, "I will do what you want me to do first, but you'll have to pay for it even if it doesn't work"
Most of the time, they'll just have me try their idea first and have no problem if it doesn't work. It's not so hard if you're honest.
Thing is, they did all the tests and I told them about a prior issue from 12 or so years ago that gave me the same performance problems, and if someone could just check on that as they were checking everything else, even if they couldn't fix it on the spot, then that might be worth the time. They were already up on a ladder running new line, why they couldn't at least look for damage on the connection is beyond me. Rodents chewing on shit is easy to notice - that's what it was last time. They chewed a hole in the equipment and water got in an fucked it up. The guy that came back a couple of days ago said it was likely that piece of equipment that was the problem, but even he didn't go up and look at it.
Adventure Mode is exactly what it's like! Just my take on it.
I have moments where I'm like "Why am I even doing this when DF exists?" but, I remind myself I'm doing this for fun and just to prove I can! haha.
And, with that, I'm going to bed.
Been lovely chatting with you all. But I can BEARLY keep my eyes open.

I mean, that just seems ignorant on their part. Why not check for rodent damage? Especially if there has been previous rodent damage? On the same piece of equipment, even?
That sounds like laziness or incompetence at least.
Makes me think of the time I posted a picture of a cast iron skillet [it might have had a hamburger patty in it, not
sure] then I typed something like "Having fried bear" lol

And squirrels can be assholes. Might need to get the pellet gun, go back to my farming family roots, and start collecting squirrels for smoking and stewing. With dumplings. Maybe make some hats.
So I found this fairly amusing and thought I'd share it with the peanut gallery. Louisiana might start castrating sex offenders. The bill passed in the House and Senate. If the criminal refuses they'll face additional non-compliance charges, but will get to remain intact.
Is this something to do with the Napoleonic Code?
Chemically castrated or...
What exactly are "non-compliance charges"? I mean if they get to keep their twig and berries in working order- what prevents them from becoming repeat offenders?
It's tantamount to moving a really fat person's fridge to the top of the stairs... Nothing is preventing them from getting to the food- it's just a little harder.
I have a counter-proposal. Make them "Reality Television Stars":
VERY first was CD-ROM game called "Sex Sirens 2". Kinda CYOA porn movies, but definitely *ahem* "playable".
2nd was probably "Box Hako".
3rd the mutha-fuckin' "Coceter Chronicles"!
Naaa I don't think I will do this. Maybe drEvil here will do this lol. Just not me. lol
I tell you, if this stupid lag keep happening every time I log on I won't waste my time any more. It is very annoying and only happen in LC. Just when I log on. Plus it seems dead in most threads, just this one is going ok. Anyway, just annoying about this sight the lag.
Trust me- the Japanese would be terrified OR you cut yourself in half and hang around Train Stations, but that sounds kinda painful.
Well, when you think about the number of people X how much garbage we post X sigs/post-bits X older server = Lag.
It's just math...
O yeah. I got the idea now. i mean if I can reach the free movie section then I will at least watch one and just so I can know about it. but I don't like gore usually, like movie saw, that was freaky weird, but it was not bad. Just different to my style
It's gory, but I wouldn't say that it's anywhere near the level of "Saw". (A squeamish Vampire? ) How cute.
Hellraiser is about much more than Horror...it's hard to explain, but it's not just some serial killer/slasher movie(s).
It's like the movie poster used to say "Angel to Some; Demon to Others".
The point is they show up regardless once you open the box- it's whether or not you choose Repent (join) or Be Damned (Be Damned).

Oh, you don't have to tell me anything about squirrels.
My dad had a squirrel somehow get into his garage attic and chew wires and leave so much pine cones and needles that it caved the drywall in. It somehow got in between two pieces of siding (we think). Was about two full-sized pickup truck beds full of trash and debris and $5,000 in repairs. We did the work, that was just the materials cost.
Little fluffy-tailed rats is all they are. Kill 'em and toss the corpses in the trash, where they belong.
