It’s official: I fuckin’ hate Steam!
Piece of shit software just does it’s own fucking thing. I recently re-installed all my games from backup (steam backup). After spending a couple of days making sure that everything is completely 100% up to date so I could use offline mode, I set each game to ‘Do not automatically keep this game up to date’. What the fuck does it do when I started it up just now? It starts updating the games again. For fuck sakes! Do user preferences mean anything anymore?!
Fuck you, Valve.
Dear Reader,
I would like to draw your attention to this: `. It’s called a backtick (well, at least to me), and it is usually found on the same key as the tilde (~). Note that it is NOT an apostrophe: ‘.
There is a big difference between the backtick (`) and the apostrophe (’), therefore you should NOT use the backtick in place of the apostrophe. It’s NOT all that difficult to figure out which one is the correct one to use. The apostrophe is on the same key as the double quote (”), and the backtick is stuck off on the side of the keyboard at the top left. It’s not difficult, capiche?
If I catch you using the backtick in place of the apostrophe, I’m afraid I will just have to kill you. No, no, don’t even think of trying to convince me otherwise. If you use it, I will kill you. Simple.
Much love and kisses,
Me
I am not alone! Thank god.
For awhile now, I’ve been coughing up these little white stinky balls, and it’s been driving me nuts.
My doctor gave me a funny look when I mentioned it, so it was just one of those odd quirks that I lived with. Until I decided to ‘Google’ it.
They’re called tonsilloliths (or commonly, tonsil stones), and it appears to be quite a common affliction. Funny though, I’ve never ever heard of anyone else until my wife mentioned the other day that one of her students seems to have the same thing. Now it seems that the whole world has it.
I’m glad now that I have a name for it, and know that I am not alone.
I’ve lived with it for years — I used to get them when I was much younger, pre-teens, then it went away for awhile. It came back a few years ago.
I started noticing it particularly when I had a sore throat, and it was a complete revelation to me to find them growing in my tonsil cavities. Digging them out got rid of the sore throat in less than an hour. It was friggin’ amazing. So every time I have a sore throat, I check for tonsilloliths.
After doing a bit of research, it seems that they are formed from nasal mucous (and other debris) and bacteria… which kind of figures for me, since I have bad sinus problems, and have a permanent (just about) post-nasal drip.
Go here and here for more information.
Golden Sound Intelligent Chip CD/DVD/SACD Upgrade
Something tells me that ^some^ Audiophiles are:
- Really really really really really gullible
- Really really really really really stupid
- Really really really really really both of the above
Digital Mains Filter: Reference Audio Mods
This is almost as awesomest as the last one! And it must be good — It’s got C37 lacquer up the wazoo!
I doubt it makes as much difference as the knobs though, since this one only costs $375. Cheaper = worser.
Silver Rock Signature Knob: Reference Audio Mods
You need this to enhance your sound. No really, no kidding! It’s the best thing since sliced cheese!
And don’t forget the C37 lacquer! It gives the best sound you could ever imagine!
I must get me a set of these! At $485 it’s a freakin bargain!!!
I don’t know why I like using alliteration for my post titles. I’m crazy. I’m also drunk. 
I bought some local Millers beer, just to try it, and see why everybody is raving over it. Well.. I’m on my third bottle (this is not the only thing I’m drinking), and I still haven’t found what I’m looking for… (U2). It tastes like those flavoured water things you can buy. It appears to be pretending to be beer. God, Americans need to learn how to make real beer. I don’t want to have to resort to making my own. God save Windhoek Lager. Now that’s real beer!
Fuckit, if I ever move to the states, and this (Millers) is the best beer I can find, I think I’ll just cry.
