The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

Some chucklehead student heard a professor use my last name while I was resetting said chucklehead's network password, and he asked if I was related to "the dude from Fast and Furious". He didn't mean an actor. He meant Paul Walker's character, Brian O'Conner. He wanted to know if I was related to a fictional movie character.

I'm starting to learn not to listen to you. I CAN BE TAUGHT.
Ok, that's not cool, Pat. That sounds distressingly plausible for around here.
Look man, @AshburnerX is the liar around here, not me.

WHY? Why does this exist? What insane person wants to play vinyl records via a Bluetooth speaker? Who wants to send analog audio over a compressed digital signal? What the hell? I understand why USB turntables exist, but why Bluetooth?

While technically you can use alternative codecs to send much less shittily compressed audio than standard over bluetooth, the notes on that particular product don't mention support of those codecs, so I'm forced to fall back to my default explanation of "people just don't know better."
Step 1: when asking for help, do not come to the side of the desk where I AM VISIBLY WORKING, instead stand 135 degrees to the left of my POV and say nothing until I notice you out of my peripheral vision when I turn my head.
Step 2: please mumble your hard to spell last name when I ask for your information so I can reset your account, because Mizichloviwicz is practically intuitive.
Step 3: when I give you a sheet of written instructions, point to the password (next to the large bold print saying PASSWORD ) and say "when it asks for your old password, put *that* (LITERALLY POINTING WITH MY FINGER ON THE DEFAULT PASSWORD)", respond with, "If I remembered my old password, I wouldn't have needed your help!"
Step 4: Be sure to file a complaint with whomever my supervisor is this week over my shoddy service and bad attitude.

I assume they would've texted you if that was the case.
Because no wires.

You know what else has no wires? Playing digital audio files via Bluetooth (or other wireless technology). Takes less work, too.
But that's just not as hip.
People pay exaggeratedly large amounts of money for "premium" HDMI cables, remember? Logic is not a prime mover.

So I went for dinner with my current room mates (spoken about in the I just had sex thread), the man's brother and his wife and the sister whom I was actually friends with before who is the one I'm doing the favour for giving her brother and his fiance a place to live for a month.
That's confusing, I went to dinner with my friend, her brother and his fiance (whom are staying with me) and their brother and his wife.
The two brother look exactly the same, like if I didn't know they were four years separate I would have thought they were fraternal twins at least. The one who is married is married to this tiny slip of an east Indian girl, like if she's 5 feet tall and 100 pounds, she's got pockets full of change and the one who is staying with me is marrying a 5'10" Polish girl (super cute thick accent) who is the whitest person I've ever seen (like Stoya the porn star white). Stark opposites.
Both guys are solid 5/10s and their fiances/wives are both utterly stunning, sweet and charming women so they must be doing something right. The one staying with me is great, she's funemployed currently (thanks economy!) so she's been basically keeping my house spic and span and she makes me lunch and dinner all the time.
I am currently feeling ultra-spoiled.

By you, I assume (given your reference to just having sex)
Read my last post in that thread.
I don't read that thread.
I mean, why read about other people's sex lives when I don't even like hearing about my girlfriend's sex life (it's pretty mediocre)
My sister's moving to Kansas City in a couple of days. She's been having trouble finding a job that could support her since she lost her teaching job (charter school went under), she's got friends out there who needed a roommate, but things have been really tight for her and basically she was going out there fairly skint. So I took the money I'd saved up over the summer to put towards a down payment on a newer car and gave it to her. $500 cash. That way she can get groceries and what not while she lines up a job out there. I'm glad I did it. I wish I had more to give her. Now I just hope my '91 Camry makes it through another winter.

Most of us know about @dril, but anyone ever read @shut up, Mike? I'm laughing my ass off at some of this stuff.
