Because Neiman Marcus sent my wife an used Salvatore Ferragamo handbag, I had to buy her more expensive Hermes bag direct from Hermes. But because of COVID-19, all Hermes stores and warehouses are closed so the bag won't ship until the stores and warehouses reopen. So who knows when that will be. And because of the virus, we can't fly to Paris to shop and buy the Hermes bag there. Hermes is cheaper in Europe than in the US. If I spend about $10,000 at Hermes store in Paris, I would save enough that airfare for us along with hotel stay could be free. It's like buying new BMW or Porsche and taking European delivery. You save enough on the Euro delivery that you can drive your new BMW or Porsche during the vacation in Europe and the savings would more than pay for your European vacation.

Bring on the handbag haters. Wife also wants the Hermes Evelyne 29 bag but she hasn't made up her mind on the color for me to order. But I would rather wait until our shopping trip to Paris than pay inflated US prices. Euro is cheap vs US dollar so we're getting ripped off buying in the US.

Why the fuck, in 2020, can Excel not open two files with the same filename, even from two different directories? What kinda shit is that?

LOLZ! Microsoft has a long history of considering a 'filename' to be just be that as opposed to a location. They are better now, but I'm sure there is still some legacy Win32 code knocking around in Excel.

Guess I'll throw my smallest in, and see what happens assuming I can dig some working ram up at work.

Found ram(2*1gb), but I can't hook it to a monitor. It needs an adapter I don't have at work, or maybe at all. I found a dell carcass at work that's identical to the boss' machine. It was missing just about everything aside from the mb which is what I needed, so I switched everything over, and the computer's working good, or at least as good as an old Prescott works :^D I still want to get the one I built going. It's old as dirt too, but better than a P4. It's an original c2d with an e6600. If I can get that running, I'll buy more ram for it, and get myself a bigger ssd while I'm at it.
 
Ended up wiping lubuntu on my boss' machine, and replaced it with kubuntu. Figured now was a good time since it was a fresh install. I wasn't feelin' lubuntu. It's both heavy and stripped down. I'll have a chance to play with kubuntu, and if it ends up being an issue, I'll go back to xubuntu.
 
Funny I'm just setting up Kubuntu myself actually. Finally got my dual 4k setup going after lot of fighting. I'm on totally different hardware now so had to reinstall and I was due to upgrade anyway. Now to reconfigure everything, that's the long and tedius part. NFS shares, email, bookmarks, FTP profiles etc... Then individual applications but think those I will do on a per case basis when I go to use each application.
 
Hmm, because I saw these posts I decided to install LInux Mint on my VMWare Workstation. AMD virtualization isn't enabled - ugh! I had enabled it, guess I forgot to save it in my default profile. With the current, aggravating, bios, I have to power down my PC for 15 minutes to get into the bios. l8tr then.
 
fucking windows broke my fucking headset.
when i got the fucker running again the fucking game froze.
then fucking discord fucked up.
fuck computers.
FUCKEM!
 
Thought of you today Shorty. I was pulling memory modules, and two of them were Hynix. That isn't a name I often run in to.
 
When blocking out info I find it's best to use the selector tool then delete. That way you are 100% sure the info is gone. Fill background to whatever colour you want after that. I usually just set background colour to what I want and it will go to that when I delete the selection.

When using brushes it's possible opacity won't be set to 100% and you forget to check or what not.
 
Went to Sam's Club today for groceries, and they were clearing out those pretzel Pop Tarts that Kelloggs has advertised the hell out of over the last 6 months. I think they were marked down to like $2.50 for a 36 pack.

They suck.........big time. Literally the worst Pop Tarts flavor I've ever had.

I'm kind of shocked that you had to try one to know how bad they are. Pop Tarts (the regular ones) have sucked for ~50 years...I can't imagine pretzel crust could possibly be better.

I don't buy them very often (I usually just steal one when one my kids gets a box), but they have some flavors that are pretty decent. I'm not too proud to occasionally enjoy a flavor like their hot fudge sundae and smores for example.
 
Did Pop Tarts go down hill or do I just remember them wrong? Pop Tarts practically raised grade school me, along with Toaster Strudels and were always part of the unbalanced unhealthy breakfast that started my school day. Sometimes I also had cereal, such as Frosted Corn Flakes, which I would add more sugar to.

Had some the other day for the first time in YEARS and they were not as tasty as I remember them being.

I have an odd craving for cereal now for old time sake.

Toaster Strudels was rich person food. 😛

When I was in elementary school, we lived in a really poor area in eastern Tennessee (poor like some people had outhouses as their only toilet). The school bused all of us in, and we had to sit on the gym bleachers until school started (about 30 minutes). During this time, anyone could get a free "breakfast" which consisted of a pint of white milk and a package of Pop Tarts (strawberry or cherry only). I guess since that was usually my only option for breakfast, I grew a little partial towards Pop Tarts.
 
Toaster Strudel is amazing. It wouldn't be a problem at all to eat a whole box at once. PopTarts always sucked. Some varieties are good enough to suffice when you're starving and lazy, but they're objectively bad. Every year or two I'll pick a box up, and then remember "Oh yea, that's why I don't buy these". Generics? GTFO with that shit. They make PopTarts taste like a gourmet feast in comparison.
 
I had a dream last night about going grocery shopping. The fresh produce was confined to a few small shelves, but what was there was slim pickings, while for some reason they had massive rows of greeting cards.
 
I had an unopened bottle of maple syrup that was aged in a bourbon barrel, and when I went to open it today, it had mold on top. I ended up using regular maple. I poured it out into a bowl best I could, and put into another bottle, but some of the mold went with it. I'll have to eat it fast before the mold spreads too bad. That syrup was kinda expensive, and I didn't want to waste it. I've lost ~4oz so far. Hopefully I can use the rest of it.
