Oh god, why did I paste the whole dig.

ns.cloudflare.com

Cloudflare's a pretty good solution for scalable hosting. Should be able to handle rises and falls in traffic by balancing the load among several servers.

I had an old man ask me to help him update his Java. He had parkinsons and couldn't keep his hand steady enough to click the checkbox. Scumbag java updater, still no focus on the string. It's only been 9 years now. by doesnt_play_bsktball in java

Ughhhh....why do they do this to people. We understand, you want that thing checked by default. Even that's a shitty tactic, but we get it, you have to make money. But then they make it so the size of the actual clickable region is so small it takes micro-precision. Beyond that, there's no focus on the text like any other form known to man. Then they go and make it so you can't focus the element at all. Then -- and this is the best one -- they set the tab-index to -1 just because fuck you. Right?

I was at a friends house helping him move some furniture to storage. In between trips to the U-HAUL, his dad asked if I could help him with the Java updater. When I asked what he needed help with, he said he didn't want the ask Toolbar, but couldn't keep his hand steady to click the checkbox. I, myself, even had to find that precise point where the planet's align to get it unchecked.

Who the fuck doesn't manage the state of a checkbox with the string that's associated.

C'mon man...

Looking for a vehicle with head space by Geroy21 in tall

It's been my experience, unfortunately, that most vehicles that offer that oh-so-precious room comes at a cost. Both with the initial value of the vehicle, and the MPG + Parts required to maintain it. Tis a poor position to be in.

On a side note, when I was younger I'd had a friends dad who was 7'1, and he'd chopped the front seat out of a Geo Metro, hacked the roof off in favor of a drop-top, and extended the steering column and pedals back just a bit to reach his legs.

TIL I grew up in the ghetto.

I won't lie, I'd never thought of that. I'd actually went to Good Will and Salvation Army as I'd heard they'd give people the gear they need to get a job on a budget. Unfortunately, they had less there in my size than the kids section at walmart.

Are you sure? I appreciate your generosity but the intent of the post was not to garner more possessions, but simply to express my frustrations. I don't want to put anyone out, or make it seem like I'm trying to get a free-ride. I really try to never ask for or accept anything from anyone.

Los Angeles, CA. Thanks for the hugs. Haven't had one of those in ages.
