Well, that was exciting. I was just reading the EULA for Adobe Creative Cloud. On purpose. While you can install the software on two systems, you cannot use it on both systems at the same time.

Dear Sriracha Rooster Sauce - The Oatmeal
Hmm, I like Sriracha, but it never really struck me as being super-spicy. And I'm a wimp when it comes to spiciness. - Victor Ganata
I would agree with you there. I do like the taste more than the "heat". - c.a.j.
I tend to find it spicy, but tasty. I think it is more which type of peppers/sauces I grew up eating, rather than actual spiciness. - Jennifer Dittrich
Oh, man, when I first encountered sriracha at the turn of the cenutry, it was before I had leveled up my heat tolerance so that stuff was mouth murder. I liked the taste but it was a challenge. - Akiva
If you put enough of it in a bowl of pho it becomes inedible. I have tested this. - Cristo
Apparently I'm in the minority who's not coo coo for cocoa puffs over this stuff. It's ok, but not mind-blowing. - ronin
It's definitely not "incandescent glow of a thousand dying suns" hot. - Victor Ganata
Yeah, I have much hotter sauces. However Sriracha has a good flavour. I wish I didn't have to buy it special order, I run out quickly - Mo Kargas
Ooh, just found out a local supermarket stocks it! - Mo Kargas

Your office is scary organized. Impressive. - Trish R
Right? - t-ra: not givin up from Android
I can't claim it. My wife likes to keep everything in its proper place so she can find it. :) And she always cleans up when she's done. - c.a.j.

Dual monitors are literally saving my sanity right now. Regular surfing on one side. Terribly boring webmeeting on the other. At least I can do it from home! :)
If only there was video of these shenanigans. (Stolen from reddit.)

"PTA wash". Begin acronym guessing...NOW
I really thought everyone said this. My co-worker never heard of this x_x - Janet:#TeamMonique from FFHound!
.....Parent Teacher Association? - Soup in a TARDIS
so, yeah. I guess we're REAL southern, Janet. ;) also, the Spanish side of the family calls it a "whore's bath". - t-ra: not givin up
In New York it's referred to as a ho bath :) - ωαřмaiden ❤Marrit Woman❤
^ I've always heard "whore's bath" - Jennifer Dittrich
I've heard "sink bath" as well. Of course, I was a kid at the time I first heard of it. - c.a.j. from Android
My mom always called it a bird bath... - Lisa | #TeamMonique
My mother was from Atlantic City if that allows for her use of this acronym. Or having a five year old ask what is a "whore" bath. I will leave the hiney song for another post. - Janet:#TeamMonique from FFHound!
Until I read the comments here, I would have assumed the same thing as Soup. I thought it was about the Parent Teacher Association holding a fundraising car-wash. Now that I've seen the comments, though, I realize it's a totally different thing. - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
I guess I could have given some context but it's more interesting this way. :-) - c.a.j. from Android
Add me to the fundraising car wash camp. - Betsy #TeamMonique
*still confused* - Soup in a TARDIS
Shouldn't it be PTAA? o_O - Tinfoil 2.0
It's funny if you Google it: there are different interpretations offered for the letters, at least for P and A. - LB: #TeamMonique
....I googled it. Now I wish I hadn't. o_o - Soup in a TARDIS
Tinfoil - No, I think it would be more like PT&A, wouldn't it? - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
PT&A told me what it was, because I've seen the Carlin skit. Around here we just called it a sink or sponge bath. - Jimminy IS Everybody
Washington State PTA! - Yo Joe. No, go slow.
I Googled and :/ P- Pits, T- rhymes with pits, A- arse - Janet:#TeamMonique from FFHound!
T doesn't rhyme with pits, it rhymes with paint. At least when I've heard it. Also see: http://ff.im/1fteYd - Jimminy IS Everybody
More variety of body parts being washed than I expected. :) - c.a.j.
Well guys have no need to focus on their tits, or at least I don't because I don't have any. - Jimminy IS Everybody
Jimminy, you have moobs. So PMA? - Janet:#TeamMonique from FFHound!
No, no I don't. I'm have the body of an athletic 12 year old girl. - Jimminy IS Everybody

"How Google built its new messaging platform for Gmail, Android, iOS, and Chrome... and what took so long" - c.a.j. from Bookmarklet
I'm still a little bit confused of how this is affecting what was Talk that I have running next to my Gmail. I *think* it might still be using my Google+ circle I created for chat peoples. - c.a.j.

Just finally getting to my second cup of coffee of the day. Growing headpain sez I should have drank more earlier. :|
I empathize. I'm trying to get off caffeine and haven't had any in days. Oy. - Akiva
I just want to crack my skull open and pour a cup in. (I know...I'm an addict.) - c.a.j.
Well, this is focused at me. I am a complete idiot and didn't take this first semester of college classes serious or...well, who knows what let me rationalize being lazy. Assuming the grades work out how I expect, I can only hope for a strong B. Which is ludicrous since all I had to do was the damn thing. It's pretty bad. Cont. ->
Oh, and I'll be retaking a class because...well, I'm an idiot. (I wonder how that factors in, actually. If I get an A to balance the F out to a C....hmmmm...) - c.a.j.
Depending on the school, often times the policy is that if you have to retake a class because you received a D or F, whatever grade you get in the retake will completely replace the original grade, so it will expunge the 1.0 or 0.0 from your GPA calculation. Saved my ass during my early years of college when I had a few classes I didn't take it seriously. - Hookuh Tinypants
Where I went it was averaged - Jason - The Opaque from Android
Boom. "If you were enrolled during any semester or session from fall 1988 or thereafter, and you repeat a course, only the last grade earned, not the higher of the two grades, is counted in computing the cumulative and curriculum GPA and for satisfying curricular requirements." - c.a.j.
I mean, I am damn lucky. I guess I know one class I'll be scheduling for fall semester. - c.a.j.
That's nice that the grade will be replaced. I mean, it still sucks to have to take it again, but at least it won't kill your gpa. - Katy S
It's incredibly generous of a school to allow it and man oh man is it ever appreciated by those of us who have to take advantage of that policy. - Hookuh Tinypants
*runs the math again* Okay, looks like I'll be pretty good but no more fooling around. - c.a.j.
My school does not run with the grade replacement. :| To this day, failing calculus is keeping my GPA down. - Colette
One school I attended for only a few semesters also didn't allow for grade replacement. I ended up not transferring any of those units to any later schools I attended. I simply retook the classes elsewhere. I was too afraid of my stellar F in applied statistics ruining everything. (It was a 5-hour-a-week Saturday morning class...I was setting myself up for failure) - Hookuh Tinypants
Checking through everything from the school's policy to the GI Bill's policy, the main thing I will have wasted is time. I can retake the classes according to the school and my GI Bill will still pay for the retakes. (Of course, I probably should also say I wasted some of that money too since it's not unlimited.) - c.a.j.
Wow, I can't imagine a school not allowing the grade replacement. Whatever you did most recently would be a measurement of what you most recently achieved. Good luck in fall, caj! - Spidra Webster
I wish i'd had that option. When I returned to finish undergradyears later it killed my gpa despite good grades that time. Which hit me again when i applied to grad school. The big lesson is: if you're taking a break after bad grades, dont go back to the same place to finish. - Betsy #TeamMonique from FFHound(roid)!
I don't where this is from as I stole it from Reddit but I'm wondering who would even try running in jeans regardless of the distance.

When someone is after you. - Eric - seven eleven
I know some folks are scared of the various genetically modified foods out there. I'm currently more concerned with these potato chips I got from 7-11 this morning. They are the 7-11 brand and are labeled as "Hot Dog flavored." Well, I'd like to know how they make them taste EXACTLY like a (very crunchy) hot god. It's CRAZY!

After a 16 hour shift that started a midnight, I'm so tired and lazy I actually ordered Jerry's Subs for delivery. First time doing it, so we'll see how they travel. Food coma will transition nicely into full night sleep for 2 am wakeup. You know you want my schedule! :P
So, about those meds...? - WoH: Professor MOTHRA
Who needs meds, I have exhaustion! :P - c.a.j.

Ah...*rumbles around*...ah, no...that's a tic tac...some fuzz...I think that was from last week's pizza. Errmm....raincheck? - c.a.j.
In some kind of creepy coincidence, I was hired at my part time job one year ago today. I say it's a coincidence since I'm celebrating that anniversary by being promoted to full-time Supervisor. Yay me! A real full time job! :P (Time to update the resume.)
Congratulations! - Anika
Congrats! - Anne Bouey
good for you!!! - VALZ/TEAM TRAVIS
Congratulations!!!! - Janet:#TeamMonique from FFHound!

It really wouldn't be a creepy coincidence unless it was based on some anniversary like one Mars-year or something. THAT would be creepy. (Plus it would take longer!) If you had to wait one Neptune year (~165 Earth-years) for a performance review, that would really suck. - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
Sweet! - Jim #TeamMonique

A buddy of mine just made that comment on that photo on Instagram. Doesn't make perfect sense to me for "feeling the grasp of something small"... now had it been "the feel of grasping something small" but what ev. ;-) - SAM

Had it not been for my step sister (ND), the top half would have been empty. I'm still unsure about Oklahoma but figured I'd err on the side of leaving it off. - c.a.j. from Bookmarklet
I can't believe you have never been in NY! - Janet:#TeamMonique
It's possible but I don't distinctly remember even driving/flying through. So I left it off. - c.a.j.
Thanks to various people (you'll know who you are), pizza has been ordered. It's not a fancy place but we do like the X-Large Brooklyn from Dominos.. :)
Pizza ordering is killing me. Only day 6 on Atkin's induction. I cannot even fathom the glorious smell, the thin and crispy dough, the onions draped so gently into the melted cheeses. Forgive me for this, but I hate all you carbers right now. :( - Janet:#TeamMonique
No worries, our waistlines will join in your hatred for the moment. :) - c.a.j.
For those among us who have ever taken a polygraph, did you ever have to go back for a second attempt? Apparently, they don't like it when I breath normally and it messes things up if I try to control it. <sigh>
DAMN YOU AND YOUR SUSPICIOUS BREATHING - Hookuh Tinypants
OMG, total LOL on that. :) - c.a.j.
Stop breathing silly, you'll pass easily. - SteVe C
How does one breathe silly? OH. Nevermind. - Hookuh Tinypants
I finished a great book on the lines of confession of a lie detector test. Your breathing and breathing control causes abnormalities. Ask the person giving the test if you can obtain a baseline of your breathing pattern first before the questions begin. Resulting these tests is something very subjective too. - Janet:#TeamMonique
Well, I've decided it was the examiner's fault since I was asked to change my breathing after we had a perfectly good baseline. Even if I was doing the occasional deep breath as people do in normal situations. - c.a.j.
I, for one, am quite over seeing Robert Scoble in his shower. Google needs to do something about that situation. And quick.
