So speaking of traffic fatalities, it looks like the new Mad Max is so far astoundingly well received despite the internets being filled with chatter about a bunch of misogynists bitching about it:
I just saw a Japanese band playing Celtic punk and ska (The Cherry Coke$) opening for a band releasing a DVD called African Nights. I don't think I've ever seen anyone as happy as their bass player ever.
To answer your question from four years ago, Scott, it turns out our traffic fatality rates really are lower than yours. 5.6 per hundred thousand people for Australia, and 11.6 per hundred thousand for the US.
And I must have heard it 4-5 times now, but I'm still crying with laughter at Luke's insane escalation of pranks.
I was going to say that "ermegeherd this is gonna replace DJ-ing" but then I remembered that computers are really stupid sometimes and threw a song that wouldn't be as easy as a dance song like "Gee". I gave it "Something about us" but Daft Punk and it really botched up on the intro. Like... a lot.
A while ago I helped to conduct a job interview, and I felt kinda bad because while he had the technical expertise necessary to do the job, I had to vote no in the end because he was a "That Guy." But I just couldn't condone the idea of voluntarily choosing to sit next to a That Guy for the foreseeable future.

Why feel bad? You did the right thing. You should feel like a hero for protecting your co-workers from that guy.

For real.
The realest reality is that "that guy" is a real liability in most workplaces. Not being "that guy" is something we should have certifications for that you can put on your resume.
The last place I worked had "that guy" as the company's devops/tools guy. I dunno what his official title was but he would write tools for individual team's needs for logistics stuff (writing scripts for our teams mercurial setup and whatnot). He needed to help set me up for something because I was gone the day he was here setting up. He's walking me through stuff and I needed to comment out a specific line in a Perl script. I hadn't used Perl before so I just did C syntax comment, but Perl is a scripting language so it takes scripting syntax.
All he needed to say was either "the syntax is actually the pound sign" or "perl is a scripting language" and I would have immediately figured it out. He was sitting right by me so he could have nicely pointed it out and we could move on. Instead he decided to be really condescending and say something along the lines of "how do you not know scripting comments?" or some shit like that. I was really fucking pissed off about it for a while.
What I don't like is that the music stops as soon as the tab is no longer being displayed. Not even when it loses focus (though that would be worse) just when it's not visible. I think this is a chrome issue, so I'm gonna test it in IE. EDIT: The site does not work in IE, apparently.

You can work around the loss of focus problem by separating out the tab from the rest of the browser however it still fails if you minimise the window. This one didn't even need modification -
Edit: Tried 99 Problems it loses all narrative quality but the choruses sound pretty great.
With this page, PATROL is the longest RPG PDF I've made thus far. And I'm not even done the Action section yet! I haven't even written out the combat actions!
I know I'm posting about it a lot, but it is all I've done for the past two days straight and it's starting to drive me mad.
(Okay not entirely true. I made brownies at one point.)
Jet Blue isn't even 20 years old. If they start to be shareholder friendly, instead of customer friendly, it just creates a vacuum that can be occupied by a competitor. No matter how much you squeeze out of each individual customer, you will not be profitable if the customers leave to go to another airline.
In the short term this will help JetBlue because they currently have a lot of customers. Even if they start sucking, the other airlines are still worse. As soon as the next JetBlue appears, they'll be just like all the rest.

You now exist in endless k-pop hell.

Dude did go insane writing that piece, though.
