I had a nightmare trip through airport security last month and became the person everyone hates. As I was walking out of the house I ripped the strap on my bag so I (poorly) emptied my work bag threw in what I wanted and set off to the airport. It was a 2 day trip so no hold luggage. I got to the front of the queue and put my stuff in the tray. I then elbowed the scanner as I walked through which appears to be a trick to beat it because I then got treated to a pat down by a rather sweaty massive bloke with chemical weapon bo. I was then invited to follow a charming police office with a rather large gun. When I finished cacking myself he came back and asked me why I was trying to bring a knife and liquid onto the plane. The knife was my leatherman and the liquid was one of the spray bottles that of screen cleaner that you get with a screen protector. I explained why I was using that bag and they were really nice about it. The screen cleaner went in the bin and I got some bullshit number which will let me get the leatherman back but I have not figured that out yet.
I should point out, the gun was not that big and the guy was really nice but I will did not like it.

I fucked up on my way home from London on my senior trip in high school. It was basically a week long bender disguised as an educational trip where we got to see all the sites in London; Big Ben, ToL, The Globe, Tate Modern etc.
Came home really late on the last night and only managed about two hours of sleep. Woke up, had packed fuck all and just threw everything in my luggage, including my tooth brush and shampoo, cause no liquids and so on. Rest of the stuff was thrown in my rucksack; book, small speakers for the mp3, phone charger, perfume and whatever else didn't fit in my luggage.
So we get to the airport and we're running late cause everyone is still drunk basically, even one of the teachers. I check in my luggage, get to security and walk straight through the scanner without noticing it goes off. I ofc get pulled aside and get padded, and the very kind officer points out that keys, phone and belts are supposed to go in a tray. D'oh! 2nd time I get through no problem. I see my bag has been pulled aside; how nice of them! I ask for it and ofc there's something wrong
"Is this your backpack, sir?"
Ehh yeah, but how very formal of you.
"Im going to have to ask you to empty it"
Fuck me it is packed to the rim and it was a miracle that I managed to close it in the first place! Well, not much to do other than empty the bastard. Stereo, wires, chargers, toilet bag, sweaty smelly tshirts are all scattered across the table I have been pulled aside to. He then asks me to open the toilet bag and that is when I realise my mistake. Two one week old perfumes and a deodorant stick are confiscated. "These are not allowed, mate". Well, there goes the formality. Before he bins them he even has the cheekiness to ask me I'd like a spray first! In they went and I thought it was over. Na-ah! His colleague comes over with a black stick with some cloth at the tip and starts sweeping my bag. He then sweeps with sick no.2 and I have no idea what is going on, so I asked him.
"No worries, just sweeping for bombs and narcotics..". A week before going to London I had a small bag of weed in my rucksack, so my heart stated racing. He went off with the samples and I waited what must have been minutes, but it felt like hours. Results came back negative and I was free to go.
Almost missed my flight because drunk me couldn't repack the bag and fit it all in

Was in Zurich during the summer. No iron in my room whatsoever. It was a service they did not provide

I haven't asked, we're not that close tbh.
Come to think of it, I'm not that close with anyone. Well, you know, apart from people I've never met on the internet.

I wish him luck. Campylobacter can take 2 or 3 days to kick in. I've had it, I was in bed for 10 days and unable to work for 3 weeks. If he gets Ill give him a bucket next to his bed because the shit is water and won't wait :/

Trying to understand matrix mechanics
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_mechanics
"Heisenberg needed to use the old quantum condition to fix the energy levels, then fill in the matrices with Fourier coefficients of the classical equations, then alter the matrix coefficients and the energy levels slightly to make sure the classical equations are satisfied. This is clearly not satisfactory."
Clearly.

Erg, no sleep last night. Sounded like someone was demolishing a building in the village, constant banging and crashing and what sounded like heavy machinery at 1am until whatever time. And today I have to train the dumbest person on the planet in some pretty heavy going document creating software.

I had my Leatherman confiscated going through security at Prague Airport - again because I completely forgot I had it. What was really worrying, was the fact that it was picked up on my return trip - the security staff at Heathrow waved it straight through!

We've just got a shiny new video editing workstation in the office that I can't wait to play with. It's going to have to go back to where it came from though because the muppet that set it up decided that the 4TB HDD should have all the software installed on it and the 256GB SSD should be for storage.

Raw salmon's fine. Undercooked is really just "badly cooked".

Excellent.
When I ordered my pre built PC from Scan I changed my HDD to something custom and they were like no windows then?
I was like err, why can't you install it onto the HD I wanted?
Oh yeah! Good point.

Piss boiled nicely today. Lovely blue sky, fuck all clouds, warm. Perfect day for a nice long ride in the Pennines. I get to the end of my street and the pedals just spin, no drive whatsoever. The freehub has failed completely. So I pull it to bits, no id on it anywhere. Ring the shop I bought the bike from, they say it'll take a week to get a replacement.
Fuck that. Straight up to Winstanley's in Wigan, brand new wheel with a proper British Hope hub, a company who can supply any spares you like with no wait. Fully serviceable.
Buy nice or buy twice, I should never forget it. Off out shortly for a short 20 mile ride, hopefully the weather will be good tomorrow.
