My #fwp today was that I just read about this amazing new Taco Bell offering: a taco shell made of fried chicken. I'm super hungry, had a crazy-long day, and so I haul all the way down to the nearest Taco Bell. Manager tells me their store doesn't get it for 2 more weeks. Arrggggg!

^Jesus... Gimme.

Oh, and my right ear got blasted by some street pastor with a big speaker talking about Jesus earlier today. Too crowded to give a wider berth.

Edit: And I bit my cheek again, exactly where I bit it two days ago, probably because it's swollen already. Fuck. Looks like I do have to learn to consciously chew slower.

The order which was shipped by NewEgg last Thursday for 2 business days shipping is still not here yet so I contacted NE and canceled it. Stupid FedEx, unable to find 1 lb package.

I saw light pillars the other night and it was pretty cool but it was too freaking cold to take pictures. Now I just saw a news article about someone who did. I could have made the news for taking a simple picture, apparently. lol.

that looks freaking amazing. I want one too. We used to have a Taco Bell but it was in an odd location, did not last. :( My city has been spending millions upgrading the sewage treatment plant. We can handle a Taco Bell.

Bummer! Mine is a good 20 minutes away, but hey, tacos! I swore off Taco bell 10 or 15 years ago, but they've really stepped up their game quality-wise. It was like, in the 80's & 90's they were really good, then went to crap in the 2000's, then made a comeback in recent years. They are getting more transparent about their ingredients, too:

I'm a big fan of their basic supreme tacos...corn shell + taco meat + sour cream, nom nom nom!

I am planning a hiking trip with a few folks from out of town. At the last minute, one guy decided to invite a bunch of other people, also from out of town. To get to the trailhead requires a 4WD, high clearance, short wheel base rig that will get pinstriped. Since all these folks are flying in (there is another event going on, they aren't flying in just to go hiking with me), I'm the only one with a rig capable of reaching the trailhead. Now we have more people than rig. Renting off road rigs this time of year is not easy and rental places don't like pinstriping. I'm going to throw it back on the guy who extended the invites to figure it out.

n00b question over here. Pinstriping? I'm assuming from context you mean some kind of damage to the truck, and not the vinyl decals.

Desert vegetation is pretty aggressive on auto paint. Most of it will buff out but a good stiff branch will go to the metal.

I just installed the latest Android Security Update with Flashfire and it wiped out my TWRP and SuperSU installations. Now I have to use a phone all day with advertising because I can't get it rooted until I get back home to a PC where I have the ADB driver installed. Can't install the driver at work because I don't have Admin rights. FML.

Wow, same exact thing happened to me yesterday. i ended up getting a 5 layer burrito. First time I'd been to TB in probably a year or so and still wasn't impressed.

My R710 had 6 x 4gb rdimm in it and they are installed in first slot of each group. Got 6 x 8gb rdimm to upgrade. Decided to pull 4gbs out and put the 8gb in first slot. Group C disabled when I boot, so 60gb instead of 72gb.
Swapping sticks, same result.

Start playing musical chair until I got it to work.

Turns out the 4gb stick has to be first in the group, like it was configured originally and I just had to add the 8gb stick in slot two of each group...

Boot to a gnu/linux usb, adb from that.

It looks like I've struck nickle on my book "store" -- makes money, not that much money.

To make my life easier, I could use a wholesale buying account. That's where it gets tricky. One publisher I'd need to use uses an online EDI system. From what I can gather, an EDI just standardizes order/shipping info to a common standard, and they give a website where it can be done. I'd likely need an SAN number for $150. But to get approved for both, I'd need probably to register a business name and tax ID -- using my own name currently so no need to register, and I don't need a VAT tax ID until I hit a certain revenue.

I checked out basic business card prices in my country... Vista Print is now spamming all me with ads. How the hell are they like 25% the cost of everyone else -- rhetorical question, I googled already, something about using pre-printed templates.

They already have all your personal info so it cuts down on their processing time. ;)
