superuser.com/questions/1119788/weight-loss-tips-areas-the-easy SPAM you shouldn't have it for dinner because its SPAM.

Superuser isn't down. of course ISP providers are being attack apparently. SE spreads the love around, they use cloud services, if your ISP uses a route that's being attacked I tshould be fixed relalavetly soon.

He admits in the process up to his termination he knows that charging his covert Gov CC was a bad idea

Bob

> The load balancing card crashed and do not reboot, we are investigating

lol

arda

@Ramhound its back now

Ramhound

But now he argues that other people did similar things, but in those cases, most of them claim they didn't know

Journeyman Geek

@arda i'd stand corrected but I'd rather lazy sit.

@Ramhound who?

Ramhound

GOV cc can be tricky. If you are living paycheck to paycheck and your job requires you to travel, you are suppose to in theory pay the balance off, if you are not reimbursed for the charges before they are due.

The thing is, if that was the case, he should have been honest.

Journeyman Geek

sounds like the typical "but mooooooooom" defence

Ramhound

He could have been assigned different cases, allowing him to focus, on his personal debt instead of the debt he created attempting to prevent personal debt

More recently those polices changed though. The reimbursement policy goes directly to the CC company, except for your prediem, but you have complete control over those costs as a person.

arda

@Ramhound hahahaha his wife replied in comment

Bob

05:20

@allquicatic Those are all old, though.

Ramhound

I still question how $10,000 on a Convert GOV CC went unnoticed....

really? I missed that

Bob

"Category: the whole network"

arda

> The FBI employee had admitted to his supervisors that he made more than 200 personal charges during a four-year period, many of them for groceries at stores like Harris Teeter and Food Lion. He ran up a balance of $10,000, which he’d begun to pay back by the time he was called to headquarters; he blamed the charges on personal financial troubles.

> “What kind of name is Tahir?” she asked.

“It’s Turkish, ma’am.”

tahir is most definitely not a normal turkish name

Ramhound

his supervisors allowed a credit card of one of their employees, to go unaudited, for 4 years.

arda

@Ramhound "though he did admit that he changed the address where the card’s statements were to be sent in order to hide his personal spending from supervisors. "

Ramhound

05:25

I know I read the story.

My point is, 4 years, his supervisor didn't even question the reason he was no longer getting balance statements

Its not like he didn't know the cover ideates of everyone that worked under them

furthermore: @arda - Does not matter. Race is one of those protected classes. By asking that question, the employee, likely has lost the case for the government.

@Bob Yes

It's 7am now. And I have learnt 3 things today.

1) You can't get McDonald's fries between 5am and 10:30am. Anywhere.
2) My local McD's is only 24-hours on the drive through, not the walk in
3) They don't like it when you drive through the drive through on a motorcycle

Farking health and safety bollocks. Back when I was a kid we used to ride through the drive-through on a bicycle or even walk it and nobody complained

Journeyman Geek

@Dog you should try it on one of those mobility scooters old people use.

Then tell them you didn't fight the damned germans so you could be deprived fries by some snot nosed millenial.

@electronbeam You're producing that?

@Rahul2001 yes.

Ooooh... Nice

You know you can easily gain fame on NCS, right?

Rahul2001

That's how Alan walker became famous

Then faded went on to become an international hit

Are you planning on getting a deal with a record label?

electronbeam

Scheduled to have a chat with monstercat soon

Rahul2001

Ah, nice...

DavidPostill

@electronbeam If I'm going to be honest to me the music sounds rather bland - elevator music. I like music that has an emotional content, and I don't feel that listening to your music.

electronbeam

09:47

@DavidPostill fair enough

Rahul2001

My wifi is lagging :(

electronbeam

however I'm not sure 180bpm drum and bass bangers are considered elevator music

lol

<3

Rahul2001

@electronbeam I'll be honest too, sometimes I feel your music gets kinda repetitive for rather long periods of time

See, what's playing right now is a nice tune

DavidPostill

@electronbeam I don't consider twitch.tv/overnightexpress to be drum and bass.

electronbeam

you sure about that?

DavidPostill

09:53

Well I don't hear much drums or bass. All I hear is synth melody.

Journeyman Geek

@electronbeam depends on the elevator...

electronbeam

this track is like... entirely percussion

lol

Rahul2001

@JourneymanGeek I once take a ride in Willy wonka's elevator

Journeyman Geek

Rahul2001

@JourneymanGeek I once took a ride in Willy wonka's elevator

DavidPostill

09:56

@electronbeam Yeah well now that link is playing something else ... not what I heard before. Still no emotional content though.

electronbeam

^subjective

DavidPostill

@electronbeam Of course. I did say earlier "to me the music sounds"

electronbeam

music resonates with different people in different ways

yep

This album is filled with overwhelming emotion for me. I poured my soul into it

DavidPostill

@electronbeam I can understand that. But it doesn't come through for me.

electronbeam

Fair enough.

Rahul2001

10:06

@electronbeam Why is your stream meant for "mature audiences"?

@Bob I have to go out, but here are a couple of random samples from my playlist.

Alabina - Habibi De Mis Amores (Habibi Ya Nour El Ein)
Alexx Antaeus - Kyrie
Andrea Bocelli/ Celine Dion - The Prayer
Ashan - The Aramaic Lord's Prayer (Abwoon D'bashmaya)
B-Tribe - Hablame (Talk to Me)
Lisa Hordijk - Hallelujah

jokerdino

Is this what is called soulful music?

DavidPostill

@jokerdino Music that has an emotional content.

I have 4000 tracks that I use when I'm teaching expressive dance.

I use about 15 - 20 or so in a typical 90 minute session.

jokerdino

I am going to listen to 'The Prayer' because the rest of them seem religious.

DavidPostill

Back later ...

@jokerdino Alabina and B-Tribe are definitely not religious.

Bob

10:37

@DavidPostill thanks. I'' have to remember to listen to them in a bit :P

jokerdino

I would have liked a YT playlist that I can open.

Bob

> Lisa Hordijk - Hallelujah

Now I wonder what that could possibly be :P

Good cover of it though.

Journeyman Geek

jokerdino

@DavidPostill though I think I prefer the vocals here => youtube.com/watch?v=y8AWFf7EAc4 :P

@jokerdino it seems a bit speculative.

Also, the RA answer to this is "You did backup, right?"

jokerdino

Currently sitting with 4 close votes and a flag asking for migration.

It's not going to get any useful answer in Ask Ubuntu.

There seemed to be a problem when Windows 10 had an update and OP wants to know if that is resolved.

Why doesn't bungie release any more games?

I seriously thought that the game was two years old or something... I just looked at the Wikipedia article and my jaw dropped when I realized that it is as old as me...

Burgi

marathon was stunning

Journeyman Geek

@Rahul2001 MS bought them, and then they went independant. Most recent game they did was destiny

Rahul2001

@JourneymanGeek Yeah, 2014, not for Windows

Journeyman Geek

11:57

@Rahul2001 most of their games weren't

Marathon was for mac IIRC

Burgi

it was

launched at the same time as doom hugely superior

And if memory serves me, halo was console first...

yeah it was an xbox launch title

the original idea was to be open world on the halo

That Brazilian Headless Horse

12:30

@Burgi I was eleven when one day, suddenly I was walking down the streets and an epiphany hit me: "men are attracted to women with big hips and breasts because of evolutionary reasons, they have more chances of breeding offspring". The thought came out of the blue.

Journeyman Geek

oh, I liked the book

That Brazilian Headless Horse

No, there were no hot girls around.

Journeyman Geek

BUT the book was people who lost their empathy. The movie was of androids who became more than what they were.

Burgi

@ThatBrazilianHeadlessHorse your brazilian, i think its genetic or something

Journeyman Geek

that said, few of PKD's books would work as movies, despite all the 'adaptations'

Burgi

12:31

@JourneymanGeek i probably need to reread it

Journeyman Geek

Most of the impact is on how the reader interprets it

@Burgi I can entirely get people not getting it, or actively hating it.

@Burgi minority report as a short story is the good sort of mind****

Burgi

yes

Journeyman Geek

12:36

and the name of the story makes sense

i love PKD stories they are almost.... innocent.... does that make sense?

kinda

tho its kinda transitory between the 40-50s "happy" scifi

and later more serious sci fi

yes
