06:25 < aestetix> Evilpig: that is awesome
06:25 < aestetix> There is zero reason for marijuana to be schedule 1
07:09 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
07:12  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
07:34 <@Dolemite> So if anyone was wondering if there's such a thing as "too big" in terms of a screen size for a navigation head unit upgrade in your vehicle, the answer is yes.   I probably should have done the 9" or even the 7" screen for my van.
07:35 < aestetix> Why do you have a TV in your van?
07:35 <@Dolemite> But I'll make do.   I mean, I like the size of the screen because I'm an old man that can't see as well, but it masks my ability to see the AC controls because of the angle.
07:36 <@Dolemite> I don't have a TV
07:36 < aestetix> oh I saw screen and assumed that meant tv
07:36 <@Dolemite> I have a navigation system with android auto/carplay
07:37 <@Dolemite> But it's a 15 year old minivan, so the original head unit was only 3" tall, so I had to get a unit with what's called a floating screen - it sticks out a few inches from the console so that it can take up more room
07:38 <@Dolemite> My wife's van, on the other hand, has a basic navigation system in it but it doesn't do android auto and she can't listen to music when navigating, so I will likely be upgrading hers, soon, with a unit that mounts flush in the original space
07:38 < Evilpig> your little project made me look at options for the ranger again
07:39 < aestetix> Evilpig: and I assume that your minivan has a 100 TB RAID array in it filled with bad reality tv shows on the go?
07:39 < Evilpig> just can't justify putting even $500 worth of electronics in a vehicle that is supposedly worth less than $2k
07:39 <@Dolemite> aestetix: No, I haven't suddenly turned into all the other shitty drivers on the road
07:40 <@Dolemite> My van is "worth" $600 trade-in because it has 250,000 miles on it.   However, it still runs fine and I plan on having it another 18-24 months.
07:40 < aestetix> Then will you get a Tesla?
07:40 < aestetix> Does Tesla make minivans?
07:41 <@Dolemite> No, I am ditching the minivan since I will no longer be concerned about lugging around a family of 4.  Pamela has a van, we don't need two.   I'm going to get something that gets great fuel economy, like a PHEV.
07:44 <@Dolemite> And by that point Patrick will be in college and Melanie in high school.  The days of the 4 of us going to the same destination at the same time are very rare.
07:47 <@Dolemite> Evilpig: Mine was less than $200 because I already had a single DIN mounting bracket.   I just needed the head unit and the wiring harness.
07:53 < Evilpig> every head unit i've seen for the ranger would need a bracket, which is fine.  i've wanted android auto in there ever since I got the mustang and beheld the wonders of it, just too cheap
07:54 <@Dolemite> I hear ya.   I just wish I'd done it a few years ago.
07:54 <@Dolemite> When you get your written job offer, reward yourself.
07:54 < Evilpig> maybe.  probably not though
07:55 <@Dolemite> Cheap bastard
07:55 < Evilpig> I did reach out to chad to ask if HR had given him any approximate times that they might reach out and he said they hadn't.  I let him know that I will be in and out of pocket this next week due to funeral arrangements and just wanted to make sure that I am not the cause of any delays
07:59 < Evilpig> looks like I will be playing ferryman from Nashville to Paducah a couple of times this next week starting Tuesday
08:07 <@Dolemite> Yeah, you won't be the cause.  HR is the cause.
08:07 <@Dolemite> They are just plain slow.
08:11 <@Dolemite> Evilpig: Make sure you bring some Krispy Kreme doughnuts to your antivax aunt and tell her they were freebies for getting poked
08:12 < Evilpig> I had much fun with that
08:13 < Evilpig> she's also a rocks will heal you nutter
08:13 <@Dolemite> Give her a pet rock for Christmas
11:00 <@Mirage> heh.  L2 guy on our side is surprised by the fact that he emailed the network team about an issue which they claim to have found/done nothing, but suddenly starts working.
11:01 <@Mirage> I told him that was pretty standard across the board w/ the firewall teams everywhere
