  1. Yeah, anytime I go on a service call to a business client it's always "The server's down"... No, your phone isn't working. No, you can't log into your computer because you locked yourself out. No, your computer is frozen and crashing from all the malware and viruses you have on it. Always with the server being down.
  2. I work in IT and at times do some residential work for people that want their computer fixed but don't want to bring it into the shop. A woman had called and asked for an on-site visit because her brand new computer was not playing music. This was...hmmm, around mid-March. I get to her house, lug in all my tools, replacement speakers, CDROM drive, installation discs etc and start talking to her to get some more information. She had a Christmas CD and said her computer wouldn't play it. So I took the CD out of the jewel case, opened the CDROM drive and put the CD in. Checked to ensure speakers were plugged in, turned on, that Windows volume wasn't turned all the way down or muted...all were fine I opened Windows Media Player and pressed play, not knowing what to expect. However the music starts playing and she looked absolutely stunned. I asked her if this was the correct CD? Does it sound OK? Is it too loud? Are you able to hear it at all? She kept staring at me and said she didn't understand what I did. I walked her through the process of opening Windows Media Player and pressing play. I even placed a shortcut on her desktop (to some people if there isn't an icon on the desktop then the program doesn't exist at all to them). She was amazed, and thanked me but I still wanted to know (out of morbid curiosity) what her process was. Ready? She had never taken the CD out of the jewel case. She assumed that if she had a computer it would automatically, through magic, play her CDs. She'd obviously gotten this CD and computer for Christmas and had been struggling for months. I explained that's not how it works, that the computer would need to have the CD actually in the computer...etc etc. I then, after a 10 minute house call, had to charge her the one hour minimum of $115.00. So, if that was TL;DR...there most certainly are stupid questions. But none has been asked by anyone here.
  3. R.A. Montgomery, author of Choose Your Own Adventure books dies at 78.
  4. Do nic levels effect the juice's flavor as well? Does higher VG + lower nic = nice clouds + better flavor? Or is the flavor really locked into the PG?
  5. Thanks all, so yeah, I just took a small mechanical screwdriver and widened those holes a bit and it's working. Just wondering why it stopped working suddenly.
  6. Very weird. I just disassembled the whole tank, cleaned it out blew as hard as I could through all parts, went through the threads with a toothpick, used a thumbtack to poke through the small holes on the base... Still tight. Was working perfectly until I tried a new juice.
  7. But if I take it off the battery I can blow right through the tank no problem. I'm going to clean around those little holes...
  8. Hmm, no it isn't... I did change out the coil, still hard to draw from.
  9. One of my tanks is very hard to draw from. I cleaned it out, put in a new coil and it's difficult to get a drag out of... Using the Pro Tank 3 Mini.
  10. Yes they sure did. Pats are on their way to the Super Bowl to play Green Bay and bring it full circle for Brady. Oh, and my picks are perfect so far on the day.
  11. Fadora Vapor, aka Compenstine's, Snickerdoodle. Fantastic!
  12. Yeah. Get some backups. The first time I went out with some friends after buying my first item, I lost it...and went out to buy a pack of cigarettes until I could get another shipped to me. Wasn't fun!
  13. Did anyone else watch this short lived masterpiece of a series?
  14. Figured as much...but those videos of things exploding had me a bit nervous.
  15. I've read that using phone adapters or whatnot can be dangerous for the battery. I'm no electrician and I'm definitely no whiz when it comes to voltage outputs etc...but I'm pretty sure this is safe to use, yes? Output 5v on the adapter and the charger is 5v, so...should be OK....
  16. Here are mine for this week: Packers Eagles Colts Pats Browns Bears Bungles Cardinals Bolts Niners Broncos Cowboys Bills Saints BTW, I picked the Raiders to win.
  17. LOL, if that's the backup song I don't want to forget anything.
  18. Did you just say Flan?? I think you just said flan! I need some flan flavored juice!
