I think my wife is cheating on me. I am a working musician and, as you would expect, travel a lot. I have been noticing strange things happening when I get home. Her mobile phone rings and she steps outside to answer it or she says, "I'll call you back later". When I ask her who called she gets evasive.
Sometimes she goes out with friends but comes home late, getting dropped off around the corner and walking the rest of the way.
I once picked up the extension while she was on the phone and she got very angry.
A buddy of mine plays guitar in a band. He told me that my wife and some guy have been to his gigs. He wanted to borrow my guitar amp. That's when I got the idea to find out for myself what was really happening. I said "sure, you can use my amp but I want to hide behind it at the gig and see if she comes into the venue and who she comes in with". He agreed.
Saturday night came and I slipped behind my Marshall JCM800 half stack to get a good view. I could feel the heat coming off the back of the amp. It was at that moment, crouching down behind the amp, that I noticed that one of the tubes was not glowing as bright as the other three.
Is this something I can fix myself or do I need to take it to a technician?
self-driving truck and stormed off to Arizona in a self-driving huff,
Do the cars that pick up the people also storm off in a huff? It would be funny if they also call the passengers "meatbags" and tell them to "bite my shiny metal ass"
Surely they can do better than huffs. They've gotta be hell in Phoenix during summer:
I will add that, unlike them, I did it properly; I peeled off the hygiene seal rather than leaving it in place so it got rammed inside the container by the spigot. Cunts.
I used to be an operator on a Burroughs B4700 mainframe (which shows you how old I am). It used to blow these 100 amp fuses in the power supply cabinet periodically. We'd call Burroughs, they'd send someone out when they could fit it in their schedule and we'd be down for hours. Finally we found the spare fuses in the engineer cabinet so we'd pop the breakers and replace the fuses ourself. One day a Burroughs FE happened to be in when a fuse blew and we started to replace it when he blew a gasket, telling us how dangerous that was. He proceeded to start changing the fuse but neglected to throw the breakers - and knocked his ass across the room.
To stay on the subject: the B4700 did not have a battery indicator.

I *think* that scene was Cliff Robertson. Didn't see this until I had posted, but that kind of sacred the shit out of me...
"Brainstorm" - with Christopher Walken.
This is a good opportunity to loop the tape.

This has been out for twelve hours and even though TFS says "whizzing around a vast black hole", not ONE comment about "your Mom" or "Uranus"?
Are we getting THAT old?
Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!
God only knows.

I was blown away by this
I'm surprised he wasn't charged with battery.

I figured I'd do it until I needed glasses. Looks like that day has come. (pun intended)
It seems like personal assistants are nothing more than intrusive nag machines that want access to every aspect of my life.
You mean like a wife or girlfriend?
50 Shades of Gray Code.
Can they become completely opaque when the wearer looks at something that might be deemed perilous to you?
Let me go back in there and face the peril.
Meh, I just saw Glenn Close crash the other night.
And she wrote it down in shorthand.
We used to carve our ICs out of wood.
You want to see an altered brain, wait for menopause. Then run. Don't look back, just run.
Who came up with that brand name?!?!
It was either that or Bearded Clam.
I just got a new Apple charger for my wife. I think it was a pretty good trade.
