I was considering a Scion FR-S, but the vraaaa-AAAAAAAAAA sound that VTEC Hondas make is such stupid fun.

But if I had the money, a new BRZ would be cool as hell.

My wife bought me the matchbox car as a “just because” gift about this time last year. It wasn’t even 3 months later I got the full-size model. So now I keep the matchbox in my car. I’ll put it on the cluster like this when I go to my local cars and coffee as a little easter egg for anyone who looks inside.

She stuffed a few others in my Christmas stocking. I love them. I’d love to have the real things, but I don’t exactly have the warehouse to store or the salary to insure them all lol

I just keep it in the glove compartment unless I take it to cars and coffee. Then I’ll put it on the instrument cluster.

My small town’s mascot was the Tigers. The next town to the north? Tigers. The town west of us? Their school shut down in 1997, but they were Tigers, too. The town south? Panthers. There is a town in the next county north that also is the Panthers.

Lots of big cats. No Cougars/Pumas/Mountain Lions, despite the fact that they’re totally a native species. There was one town whose mascot was the Bobcats.

Mint and Kubuntu are great for newbies. Ubuntu is also great, but the community hates Ubuntu these days so be ready to get replies criticizing Ubuntu or your choice to use it. It still makes a lot of shit really easy.

Boiling is a cooling process.

During the Carboniferous, when arthropods were huge, it’s not too crazy to imagine something like this as big as a panther or a cougar.

Natty Light made you piss lightning, too?

yeah

For those who don’t know:

That, or cope.

MY PKCELL

I used Ubuntu for over 10 years. I loved it. But Canonical does have a lot of baggage. Plus, I wanted to go to the source. So that’s why I use Debian. I’d still advise a new user to go for Mint if they loved the Windows UI or Ubuntu if they hated it. If you use and love Mint, I don’t think anyone would criticize you for continuing to use it. If you use and love Ubuntu, I’d say Debian is a very easy next step.

Good. He was nothing but treble anyway.

This whole time, I thought their intentions were puree.

I’ll see myself out.

“I’ve no idea what you’re talking about. This is my chair, and it’s a bloody shame I’m not big enough to move your arse from it when you’ve stolen it.”

Cat, probably.

Pneumonia contracted from two self inflicted gunshots wounds to the back of the lungs. And to think they thought they could get away with it.

They probably would have left a trail of nuts and bolts behind them. We’d find them pretty quickly.

It’s been the same story for years in Oklahoma. For a few years there, we were getting more earthquakes than California.

I’m late to this, but since you asked…

I do my personal budgets in Excel. There are repetitive tasks that could easily be automated. Mostly just duplicating the worksheet and clearing previous entries. Also, I don’t always remember to add the 45¢ surcharge for paying my water bill with an electronic check.

So I spent a whole weekend learning some surface level VBA and wrote a macro. It asks for a confirmation in case I accidentally fat finger my hot key. It duplicates the active worksheet. It wipes all of my previous budget entries. It asks about when I’m getting paid so it knows what order to put it in the workbook. It asks if there’s an upcoming water bill and, if I answer yes, asks how much, then tacks 45¢ onto that. It asks how much money was in the bank prior to being paid, then how much my wife and I got paid. It asks how much money I plan to spend on gas and groceries. It analyzes how much I have set aside for the mortgage. If there’s nothing and it’s after the 15th of the month, it does the whole thing. If there’s nothing and it’s before the 16th of the month, it sets aside half. If there’s anything there at all, it sets aside the remainder, regardless of today’s date. If the full amount is there, it does nothing. It looks at a section I have set aside for my savings account, totals it, writes the balance forward, and clears the previous entries. It reminds me to set aside money for my credit card payments.

Among other things. It took probably took 30 hours to figure it out and write it. But now, given that I use Excel a lot at work, it’s something I can take to the office.

Since getting my toes wet with VBA, I’ve also taken to some very basic bash scripting for things I want to automate on my computers.
