The ultimate in gay law
You gotta be fucking kidding me! WTF kind of stupid-ass law is this? I mean, what's the point of it? Shouldn't law have a point? Maybe something like it punishes people who do harm to others?
"If a witness can tell us that a vehicle has an Arizona plate because they can clearly see it, that helps us immensely," said Harold Sanders, a spokesman for the state Department of Public Safety.
Oh I get it. We're going to create a new class of criminal because if we don't it might mean the fucking cops have to do their fucking job without pussies squealing on strangers.
Totally.Fucking.Gay.
And dig this bit:
On Tuesday, half the 26 vehicles in the Arizona Senate parking lot bore frames obscuring the word "Arizona."
Arrest those criminal scum ... for passing this fucked up law.
Oh the weather outside is frightful
And a road trip seems not delightful. But since you've got no choice but to go; pray for no snow no snow no snow.
Or something like that. The EPA estimates for the truck is 17 on the highway. They say the car is good for 22 on the highway. Given 5200 miles round trip and a fair approximation of gas (cheapo for the truck, preemo for the car), the car works out to about eighty five dollars less for fuel. I'm pretty sure the EPA estimate is way low on the T-bird, but you gotta start somewhere eh?
Plus I can bring the dog and fair better in worse conditions. In other words the amount of sucky weather it'll take to make me turn around goes up if I'm in the truck. Oh and I can actually fit a real winter coat in the truck. The truck is under warranty including all my fluid changes. The car is personally valuable to me because, you know, it is one of those "extension of penis" things. Which is really sad by the way. Think about it. If guys buy stuff to somehow enhance their projected sexual image what does "small and fast" say about me?
Hey that reporter dude who threw shoes at the douche bag who we finally fire in January is a great American hero. Seems like of all the seven billion people on this planet there is only one who had the human decency to send that cock sucker a direct message.
Whatever eh? Gotta go get ready for work. Work sucks, but it beats the hell out of no job. Sort of.
Wow
Alex Bellini had been at sea since leaving Lima, Peru on February 21 and had expected to reach Australia on Saturday -- becoming only the fifth person to complete the journey which spans almost one-third of the globe.
Holy crap that's awesome!
Anybody know about ScanGaugeII?
I got plans to take a little road trip again. By "little" I mean about 5200 miles round trip. Back to NY to visit family before things get bad for my brother in law. Just got diagnosed with one fuckingly strong case of cancer. So fuckingly strong that nothing currently known to man is capable of making it blink an eye. He's a good man married to a good sister, so I feel like yeah you gotta go see 'em before they call you with really bad news.
And I surf a lot of web shit. So somehow while trying to decide between the truck (which means I get to bring my Q-me) and my T-bird (which means I get to enjoy most of the road) I came upon http://www.scangauge.com/ and wondered if anyone who, for whatever reason, has any experience with their product. Both my vehicles have the OBDII port based on age so it'll serve me no matter what I drive, but it'd be nice to hear from an actual user before I plunk down money I don't have on something that might help me save money I can't afford to spend.
Damn this software!
A long time ago I decided b2evolution rocked it hard. And yeah it does, but holy crap it also sucks ass. For example I'm now scanning a lot of old family photos and uploading them, trusting b2evolution to resize them as need be to fit my skin. Yeah ... sure ... great idea except it doesn't fucking work. A 2.3 meg file can be resized with ini_set( 'memory_limit', '64M' ) but not a 2.9 meg file. OH ECKS FUCKING SCUSE ME!!! Wordpress can do it, so how come b2evo can't?
Plus the file name structure is fucking stupid. Like, NORMALLY the path of any given file leads to greater and greater granularity culminating in the file name. In this fucked up software the file name is the file dimensions. Meaning I now have about 300 images with the name "fit-80x80.png". And exactly WHAT does that tell me about the file? Does it tell me the most granular information possible? NO NO NO ... NO! It tells me the fucking dimensions of the file.
This software sucks.
I wish I didn't have so much time and energy invested in it. Changing to something more civilized would be a lot easier yah? Fer crying out loud fucking phpbb is better at handling images than this shit.
So now I upped my php.ini memory limit to 128M and it created a thumbnail ... but it still can't make a postable image. What the fuck! The default value is thirty freakin two!!! I am so fucking tired of b2evolution it makes me want to switch from the web to god damned television 
Recounting Minnesota
Some ballots that are being challenged by various players in Minnesota, with an opportunity to vote which way the recount should go (click the title to play). Not that your vote will do anything - just a chance to play recounter. I'm not sure how the ballot below can be considered an "overvote" given that only one bubble was filled in. Perhaps simply writing in a name means you are voting for that name even though you didn't fill in the bubble?
This Beltrami County voter cast their ballot for Al Franken, but also put "Lizard People" as a write-in candidate, not only in the U.S. Senate race, but for several others. The county auditor/treasurer ruled that the vote should not be counted because it's considered an overvote. Representatives for Franken challenged that decision.
