    I just read a great fluff piece about a 38 year old bus driver taking online courses at a local college who has now made the college team

    He's 6'8" and 300 pounds, and the coach picked him out of a casual game because he is an extremely intelligent player

    All the ripped college players thought it was a joke at first but now they love him

    Excellent

    He was born on a farm and one day the aliens came, destroying his world but revealing a hidden power inside all along!

    I’ve got a cold sore on my lip, so the B and P sounds are painful to make.

    On my tour I’m trying to avoid words with those letters, which is tricky when you talk about Buildings and Presidents. Leading to saying Structures and Leaders a lot.

    Work is distributing new laptops

    With each laptop you obviously get a power cable, but they also can use these hub/dock things with an integrated usb hub and extra video out that have been set up on the hot desks (the idea being that if using a hub/dock, you don't use the laptop's power cable, the laptop instead draws power from the dock through the single multi-cable that extends the usb and video connections)

    The hub/dock itself has a power cable which has the same physical connector as the laptop power cable, but delivers a much higher voltage

    According to this strongly worded email from IT, we're at four fried laptops so far

    japan

    What brand are these laptops?

    Dell. Mine is a Latitude 5580, so i assume the others are as well.

    I think the docks are TB16s, from a cursory look on the Dell website.

    Hmmmmm

    Weird

    I know from experience that Dell adapters downregulate.

    Not sure what to make of this.

    The thought occurs to me that they may be trying to keep people from nicking the DC adapters from the docks

    For an office full of mobile workers, it is weird how many people don't carry them around

    shouldn't every hotdeskable desk just have an adapter permanently anchored to it

    XCOM2, streaming later, @ me if you wanna be a soldier. I don't know how to make people start as certain classes because then they can't show up as rookies. So everyone's a rookie but I'll try to take preferences into account where possible. Got a decent list built now though, should be enough soldiers to get us to the point where sectopods dissect us all.

    @sniperguy put me in coach.

    My back story is that I'm three babies in a trenchcoat.

    Did SNES classic fix bugs? Like will my evade or sketch work in FF3?

    Na they are just Rom dumps all that stuff should work

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but a ROM dump would leave the bugs in and those won't work correctly.

    There's a mix of devices in use, with different adapters.

    The idea with this rollout was to move everyone onto the same/similar devices, but there are some holdouts because some of the software we use behaves strangely on Win10, or because the people with small laptops don't want a larger one (there is a segment of the office who will give up their numeric keypads when you pry them from their cold dead hands, so all the new laptops are at least 15").
