Why do people fix dinner?

And pets! Why do they have their pets fixed? Am I weird? I have mine spayed or neutered...

The last one, a Malibu, just gave up after ten minutes.

This one, the Silverado, scanned for twenty minutes and produced a whopping three folders of music.

I mean, I do have a few USB 2 drives around, in more "reasonable" capacities, but the one with the most music and audiobooks is the one with the largest capacity, natch, and it also happens to be right next to the laptop.

I'll have to dig out one of the others and load it up, I guess...

Curious - what does that mean?

natchez is a flavor of native american.

Am I weird?

Yes.

I so totally set myself up for that--and I knew it, too! The only mystery was who'd say it first.

I have to do a presentation for the University of Toronto on Saturday in Dezhou, which rather put me in mind of the daily deluge of Chinese Canadian university diploma spam on AF.

Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly
I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly

Yesterday
Life was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh i believe in yesterday

Fun fact.

There was some great music in the '70s. That wasn't it.

Not even. It rejected a 32GB USB 2 drive. Thankfully, I have my own car back, so I can finish that audiobook.

I saw a bunch of those the other night, and reported some of them.

There should be ways of catching that crap before it hits the boards.

I was thinking the same thing. On my site I use Akismet which is a Wordpress plugin to catch spam and auto remove it. Works great!

I don't know if such plugin is possible with a forum site, but I don't see why not. Maybe one with filters that an admin can define along with some common defaults.
