I'm fairly certain the power supply in my 3d printer is DOA.
hopefully this is like every other broken thing since i joined the forum where I post about it and it starts working or I find a painfully obvious solution.
Edit: yup, dead on arrival. Yay. 12 volt 20 amp, nothing strange about that should be easy to find

Both literally and figuratively.
It will be close to 48 hours between when I have solid food.
A follow up- if you plan on having this or a procedure with similar prep- do it in the heat of the summer. I'm freezing to death thanks to consuming a LOT of cold liquid.
Last follow up. The procedure is really easy. The prep is what really blows. Done. Happy 50th to myself.
In reply to alfadriver :
A coworker was drinking the liquid at work and I suggested he might want to head home (home turf rule) cause when it hits........and the next time I saw him he said he stopped and got a bag of Taco Bell on the way home from the procedure.
Whoa.

He's not brave. He simply doesn't give a E36 M3.

I think he gave all he could

So the E36 M3 jokes are great, so I can't top them.
But stopped at McD's for some food on the way home. I was pretty hungry. This is very, very different than being sick where you don't want to eat the time that you are spewing. You are starving the whole time.
I don't understand why people are so devoted to work when they are doing medical stuff. I didn't start my prep until evening, but I still took a half day to not let the hunger get to me at work. And the idea of doing the cleansing at work is insane.
In reply to alfadriver :
We had a driver recently have his first and not believing how enthusiastically that stuff was going to work decided to come to work. He did not make it very far.

Could be like me where PTO is used for both Vacation and Sickness? I try not to use too much time off for illness so I can take vacations later when I am more burnt out
In reply to mad_machine :
Could be. But I'm also not a fan of companies that bin sick leave with vacation. They are very far from the same thing. I'm sure you have to bin bereavement into the same thing- and you can not get further from vacation than a funeral. That's a different rant, though.
To all closing on 50, some advice- when the directions say that you should be VERY near a toilet, believe it. And be kind to your fellow workers, when it comes time to do this, do it at home. But also don't be afraid of it. The actual procedure was really quick, and I barely remember any of it (even when I was staring at a monitor of my colon/lower intestine being looked at. It's really important that you do this.
My grandmother had a bag with her for a year after they messed up her colonoscopy. Sometimes they are not so easy. I’m glad you had a “good experience”
The thought of the colonoscopy is far worse than the procedure, and I didn't even have any pharmaceutical relaxation assistance. The cleanse was a whole lot less brutal than that time I ate a bad spinach salad, only to be pooing out semi complete spinach leaves a few hours later. That was unpleasant.

Were warned of that, as well as bleeding issues. But I also have two friends that had colon cancer, so on balance, the risk seems worth it.
How damn efficient are people that roughly 10 minutes after posting every craigslist ad I get a text saying "please reply to me at [gmail adress]. This time they did get their email wrong though. I was annoyed to because even though I was going to be stupid and attempt to deal with them in the off chance that maybe they're just stupid.
Cash only, only thing you're getting from me is name, meeting spot, and favorite cereal. (maybe the wheels too if you actually bring cash)
EDIT: No really, 4 different messages today and none of them have been legit.
I made a mistake today. Looking at a pretty 9-3 SportCombi in San Francisco, I decided to see how much to ship the car. For what it is worth, I got quotes even with what it would cost me to fly, drive, eat, and sleep on the way back.. but now the shippers won't leave me alone! Even though I put in I would not be moving a car till mid-january, they want to know when they can pick it up as they have a "truck in the area"
On a related note: I really hate having wed and thurs off. I found a nice sportcombi an hour away, but he has off weekends
I hate selling cars. I love looking for ones to buy, generally don’t mind dealing with sellers to buy them, and love working on and driving them- but I HATE the process of selling them. I’ve had the Jeep up for about 2 weeks now. I’ve gotten dozens of inquiries about it, a half dozen who have said they were going to come by to see it- but none who have actually shown up.
Most annoying are the interchanges like this:
Sorry, if you offer me one amount initially and then when I come down to it decide to offer me even less I’m being NICE in just sticking to my price and not telling you to Berkeley the hell off.
To all hockey players and coaches in USA sanctioned games: it does not matter if the player turned at the last second. It does not matter if there is a gigantic size discrepancy. The onus is on the player delivering the contact. If said contact was illegal, and results in an injury I do not have a choice and have to call a 5 minute major and a game misconduct. Go read the rule book and pay special attention to charging, head contact, boarding, and checking from behind. Also read the blurb under major penalties that says any injury from a penalty is a major and game.
Might as well read the rulebook in its entirety as well, just for good measure.
The website of the club I do my Winter autocrossing with is down.
That means that I can't obsessively check if they've updated the season standings.
Best part? I've crunched the numbers so already know where I'm at!
The little bit of snow we got is already melting.
Kid who I just put to bed: "Dad!"
Me: "What"
Kid: "(something unintelligible that sounds a bit like 'I need to puke')"
Me: "What?"
*some moments pass, more than enough time for kid to walk from bed to the toilet*
Kid: "Uh oh..."
Aaaand now we're washing blankets.
Ranger developed a solid clunk somewere underneath on the way too work. Hoping its just a broken exhaust hanger.
Took the wife to work and stopped for breakfast. I’ve gotten ten emails and a dozen more texts from work. Meanwhile the news channel they have on in here is covering the excitement from Frosty Fest over the weekend. Local cable news can really suck.
In reply to Wally :
That's pretty brain dead. Hope you and all your coworkers are ok!
In reply to Wally :
Wow, just read about the explosion. Glad to hear you are OK.
luckily it seems minor but with all the messages it was hard to tell at first.
