Weird Brandon did not go to Japan with them though. I imagine they need a break after touring so damn much (unless Nicky just went early, since I think the tour starts in a few days there). Yeah, seems like they were on the road all of last year and I keep seeing new dates announced for this year. Somehow Brandon found time to do another Night Sins LP too.

Bladewillisisdead Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 We've had the Amazon Echo for over a year and we just got an Echo Dot so we have full coverage in the apartment. 90% of our lights are smart bulbs so now no matter where we are in the apartment one of the Echos will hear us and we can control the lights. Light switches are for suckers. We use "echo" as the wake word instead of "Alexa" so sometimes random shit makes it wake up. Especially shit on TV. But when it wakes up and listens, it uploads the audio too the cloud and you can go and listen. We were going through and listening for weird shit. A lot of TV shows/movies and us saying weird shit to the cats. We clicked on one and it was us having sex and we almost died laughing. There were like 10 clips of me watching the new Gilmore Girls and my girlfriend was like "What the fuck is this shit?" and I had to admit to binging through all like 7 hours of the new season while she was at work.

BuzzersonKillwell Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I would have never guess you'd have one of those! I don't know why but it seems like that data collection would be something you would be against. I dunno. Im not passing judgement. Just remarking.

Eh, there's bigger data collection things to worry about than Amazon trying to figure out what to try to sell me. I'm sure the government could read all my texts and shit if they felt like it, but why would they? Amazon has already had law enforcement request data from their cloud and been like "No" so I'm not worried about the 5 second clips of me saying "Turn off kitchen" and "Set living room to movie mode" Also, we have voice purchasing turned off because that seems like a terrible idea.

Thomas³ Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I am really anti-data collection too. It's not just about privacy, which is a large part of it, but I don't need companies trying to create profiles on shit to sell me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas³ Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 A lot of "Internet of Things" have no security settings, which is why a lot were hijacked an used in recent ddos attacks. That scares me quite a bit, that they sell things like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a big fan of 'smart' anything. I'm planning to buy a new TV sometime this year and have no interest in connecting it to the internet. At least with a computer, I have control over it. In theory, you could do some aggressive traffic filtering / monitoring on your smart devices and restrict it a lot. But that's too much work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Lost power here for a few hours. Not the end of the world and I had enough laptop charge to watch stuff until it kicked back on. That happens about once every year or so, but I'm always amazed at how it happens on a day off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas³ Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Morning everyone. My anxiety is acting up again this morning. I was fine all weekend, so must be work stress causing it since it only happens on my way in. Really annoying. It's also going to be in the 30's today! No more subzeros temps, which is really nice.

It's like 4 degrees here Anxiety is the worst, I'm sorry dude. I had really bad anxiety yesterday because we had to stop at the mall. Haven't had crowd induced anxiety in awhile, so that was weird. I usually take a tiny bowl hit before we go to the mall though. I didn't yesterday so apparently that helps more than I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas³ Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) It really is. I've been off meds for about 6 months now, because I want to try it on my own. Was doing great until Friday. I heard good and bad things about weed and anxiety, but I have not smoked any since before my issues started. Oddly enough, cigarettes help a lot of the time, but sometimes make it worse. It's been an annoying winter, too many up and down days. 13-14 all week, and will be in the 60's Thursday.

Bladewillisisdead Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Weed can make anxiety WAY worse or a lot better. It's weird. Has a lot to do with the strain, how much you smoke, and who you are as a person. It'll be a lot easier when (well now with the new administration... IF) it's legalized because you'll easily be able to obtain specific strains for specific purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our medical marijuana laws are weird here, if they ever go into effect. No smoking, only oils and consumables. Full legalization would be awesome, but I'm sure pharmaceuticals will do everything to block it, like they have for years.

Thomas³ Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Applied for a job last night, and they sent me the application this morning. Job didn't say anything about programming, but one of the application challenges is to write a script to "Open the File (CSV), Calculate the total number of calls (number of rows excluding the header), Calculate the total billed amount, Calculate the total billed call duration, Display the summary data in the terminal window, or write the summary data to a file". My knowledge of scripting is nothing anymore . Sounded like a challenging job too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
