I have never seen a more obvious case of 'driving while black' in my life. Completely fucking appalling.

[Akura]

Found my internet/TV bill to be significantly higher than it should be. Looking through the itemized list of charges, I found that someone added some On Demand channel orders. I've got two guesses to who did that, and both deserve a punch to the goddamned head.


Also, the forum is still being very slow.

[LordBaal]

Why would someone would do that. Very rude to rent porn (Im assuming is porn) in other people houses.

My latest batches of mead were not taken kindly by the amateur meadmaking community. Apparently only getting 2/3 of the expensive honey I needed and rounding it out with a somewhat neutral cheap honey was a cardinal sin akin to, verbatim, "put[ting] ketchup on filet mignon."

Yay, taste shaming. I'll just peace out to another, more open, mead community that I've found. All I want is to do silly little fermentation experiments and share them with the world.

I just realised that my day off last weekend was actually NOT a day off.

It also appears as if absolutely nobody realised I wasn't there.

The hell?

Yeah, forums are being rather slow here.

WWE on Demand will also do it.

Cinemax probs isnt such a thing anymore, but I think you can still stream Boxing matches or Cricket or something equally expensive.  Porn may not be the only answer.


P:


ahhhh the good old days of watching Sundance nudity and Cinemax late nights.

[LordBaal]

Haven't really perceived any slowness in the forums. Sometimes they don't load up more than usual but that's kinda normal with all pages here.

What about percentage shaming? After all, if it's got more than 1% alcohol then it's not authentic mead.

Forums are slow here as well, Toady is something wrong on the servers?

[RoseHeart]

Heh. That was MY WTF too!

Been awhile..

[methylatedspirit]

At this point, I may as well compile every post I can find that relates to the ongoing server slowdown.
Here's what I could find. I'm sorry if I'm overstepping anyone's boundaries. Titles are based on topic name as of this post. Context is aggressively snipped off.

It started around 3 days and ~12 hours ago, and it's still ongoing.

Bay12 is failing to load (...)

Site's been stupid slow for a lot of people, myself included.

the.....forums....are.....slow but at least there back up I guess

(...), Bay12 is sluggish.

Forums are sluggish, indeed, but yesterday I couldn't even load the forums properly without 504 errors.

Hopefully it's resolved quickly.

Is it just me, or is everyone getting gateway timeouts constantly on the forum? For about 24 hours now.

I've been getting it too, forum's been incredibly sluggish or just outright borked all day.

I'd test this out, but my current internet connection (...) is too slow to even load Bay12 half of the time.

I...can...confirm...forum...is...broken

Also, the forum is still being very slow.

Is the site itself taking >20seconds to load pages and sometimes failing for anyone else?

I'm having the exact same problem as you, only that I have to wait around a minute instead.

Same here. I think it's a problem with their server.

Aye, my connection's all slow too. Takes 30 seconds or so for a page to load, most of the time.

Site so dead you can't even look up if the admin knows it's dead
Last 4 hours about 1/20 reloads haven't timed out

I'm not getting any disconnects or timeouts, but the site is definitely way slower than any other right now.

Oooh I got to overhear something fairly rare in my part of town: an argument! A man and woman, both unknown to me, just standing in the hallway connecting the adjoining apartments and just being noisy assholes right in the middle of the AM night time. I cracked open my door just enough so that I could overhear them in detail.

I suppose it wouldn't make sense to anyone else, but having grown up in a dysfunctional environment where angry arguing escalating rapidly into violence was the norm, I obviously grew to intensely dislike all forms of drama, and so isolated myself as an adult... but now being so safely sequestered for so long as an adult, I can't help but find a kind of perverse nostalgia in getting to hear people be raucous and unreasonable with eachother. I even kind of envy it in a way, I've never felt like I've ever had the kind of standing or authority to argue heatedly with anyone, any time any kind of opportunity like that comes up, I instinctively shy away from feeling angry and either accede to the other party or cut off communications entirely.

I don't know how close the man and woman were, I imagine not very close at all, as the content of the argument was the man wanting to know the woman's phone number, and she was reluctant to give it out. She relented though, shouting out the numbers so that anyone in earshot (all her dozen or so neighbors, me included) now knows her cell number. I thought that was a funny conclusion, though a little tame for my taste in domestic disputes.

[pisskop]

idk.

Thats a little serious for a phone number from a stranger.  I imagine there's a little more history there.  maybe she gave him a fake on before, or he has a home number but not the cell?  I could see it not necessarily be romantic in nature, though she may not see it that way.  Could be that he has a half-baked business reason to ask, but she thinks him lecherous.

Last night I learned that a local night club has a selfie bathroom stall. That is, a bathroom stall that has no sanitation devices, just an empty stall with a mirror on the wall.
