So my workplace offered full time status to a girl that’s been in a half a day this week and after pulling a no call no show for two days last week. She hasn’t worked a full week since starting. I remember when a probation period meant if you missed one minute of work you didn’t get the job.

I remember when probationary period meant if you sneezed you didn't get the job. Lax standards in the country these days,

Frustrated that I didn't pull the trigger on a second Oppo player last night when I got the chance/e-mail. When I tried this morning, the link had already expired. I kinda feel like they should give you at least a full 24 hours.

What made you wait? I almost hesitated too...then immediately thought...if I regret it, I can sell it for a decent profit.

I was walking out the door when I saw the e-mail and didn't think I'd lose out on it by waiting until this morning.

First world problems for sure and this would have been a back up player so I can't complain too terribly much.

Bummer. I live close to Menlo Park (their headquarters), and they processed my order so fast so fast, it delivers today. Hopefully you can try again. Good luck.

Or at least state somewhere that the link is valid for X hours or whatever.

I have confuse.

Apparently when you unplug the Raspberry Pi (there is no power switch) it forgets everything you saved when you turn it back on. Annoying, need to ask the eBay seller about that one tonight.

I was confused by that, that's why I asked if it was a giveaway or something. If they are selling you the thing, why would it be for a limited window of time? So that's why I asked for more explaining.

Raspberry Pis don't have hard drives (by default), that's why most people use an SD card for saving documents on it.

Ahh, gotcha. Yeah, I was on a waiting list to buy the player, but found it odd that the link dedicated solely to me would expire so quickly. They must have found out the cause though as it eventually worked later on in the day today.

I have really been wanting to rewatch Babylon 5, I've got the series & movies,
but I haven't been able to pull the trigger on a rewatch yet.

After watching this I think I may just put the series next to the Player as a reminder to queue it up soon.

But 1st I'm going to look up the info to make sure I know were to insert the Movies within the series....

So far I have the Movies narrowed down to this!

The Gathering ( Pilot Movie )
Season 1 - 3
In the Beginning ( after Season 3 )
Season 4
Thridspace ( after episode 9 or 10 ??? of Season 4 or just watch after the Season )
Season 5
The River of Souls ( between 13 - 14 ??? Season 5 or just watch after the Season )
fits in between the season five episodes "Objects at Rest" and "Sleeping in Light."
A Call to Arms
The Lost Tales

So some years back there was a show on TV about people wanting cosmetic surgery to look like their favorite celebrity. The showed paid for their procedure. Afterwards they were like "omg I look just like [name]" and I was watching it thinking, you two look nothing alike.

Do you think it would actually be possible to have cosmetic surgery so accurate that you actually do look 100% like someone famous?
