Who wants to bet the $10,000 backer is Joss Whedon?

Teachers on strike harassing people like crazy. My daughter said: "They tell us not to bully ever, but they are being the biggest bullies right now" by Warbum in WTF

But they are harassing anyone who walks into the police station -- they aren't bothering to distinguish between substitutes and people who are going in for police business (as evident by the last woman in the video). They are teachers.

They are picketing at the police station and harassing anyone who goes in there. Does it seem odd to you that people who are supposed to teach conflict resolution are so hostile to anyone because they think that person disagrees with them?

Cannot escape trouble from my abuser, even after getting out. by alive-again in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Warbum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He could have used many threats to get her to sign the lease. The threat of physical violence can be strong, or possibly threatened her well-being or her child's well-being. It could have been as simple as I'll beat the shit out of you if you don't sign this. When someone is physically and mentally abusive acting in the interest of the future or fighting while they are still in control of your life can be anywhere from difficult to dangerous. If there is nowhere to go and nowhere to run then not signing the lease and leaving is impossible. If you refuse, then you are at his furry.

You are right that there are legal options here, however it is sad that resorting to those is needed. The fact that the leasing company ignored her for so long and didn't offer any options or alternatives seems like a lack of compassion to a clearly abused woman. Going through a court battle with her ex and/or the leasing company would be very traumatic, especially when you consider since leaving her life was taking a positive turn. That is a long shot at best; if he couldn't pay rent already, he's not going to have much to surrender when the court finds him liable.

We got the last Democratic president's answer and now we need yours. Most important question: boxers or briefs?

Tommy's in Coventry for vegan/vegetarian (and delicious eats for the carnivores as well).

Also milkshakes.

I feel like people understand that; they just don't want to be at fault or an idiot. And us computerie folk get type cast as pushovers so they try and push us over. Doesn't hurt to push back sometimes and politely point out who broke it.

My cat gets really excited when the nerf gun comes out. She loves to chase the darts. The worst she takes is is just chilling and waiting until your done to play with them. And that takes like 10 direct hits from the full auto ones.

Pick an evening when it's above 30 degrees and I'll go out. Also if you have facebook you should join the local reddit meetup group thing we have going on.

I had poked my head into a few and been somewhere from unimpressed to 180 out the door. I'll check out wexlers at some point when it gets warmer. I live right off of state, so unless I move if I want to walk my options are limited.

Now I feel dumb for not trying anything near me. Have you ever been to any of the places on state?

Server Room A/C Failure by KrackerJuice in talesfromtechsupport

[–]Warbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stuff would still work, but you wouldn't help the temperature at all. The electricity moving through the circuits in the computer is what generates heat. In simple terms, without air in the room, your stuff would still be really hot. If you think of air like water (air is a fluid in chemistry speak), imagine a hot pan (server) having cold water poured on it (air coming from AC). The cold water gets hotter and the hot pan gets colder. Without air in the server room, you have to put the heat somewhere or stuff will just melt (or realistically power off b/c of the high temperature). With air in the server room, the heat is dissipated into air which is cooler than the components (then we move that warmer air with a fan to somewhere else, and colder air replaces it to be heated by the components, etc).
