grimwerk: GPS as in three satellites send info to a device on the surface? How does it fail? Is your B&B a U.S. Military installation?

edit: I ain't tellin' you off none. I'm genuinely curious.

tinyE: I think the problem is it's plotted wrong. The streets show up but they aren't labeled correctly. If you type in our latitude and longitude the GPS works great, our address not so much. Near as I can tell they got sloppy with this area because they figured no one lives up here so it really wasn't a big deal. I can't hold that against the programmers because almost no one does live up here. :P The thing is, we only have two paved roads and they form a circle so as long as you stay on pavement you will get to us. That still proves to be too much for some people.

grimwerk: That's a reasonable explanation, thanks!

If GPS directs any of your guests to drive into Lake Superior, please post photos.

tinyE: Okay.

monkeydelarge: You are from Denmark so challenge her new boyfriend, the Viking way. A battle to the death. Then when you are in the fighting circle, stash at his private parts with an Ulfberht sword so if you don't win, nobody wins...

HereForTheBeer: A customer has been asking me, once a year for the last four years, for a quote to come do a check-out on four machines. Every year I send the same estimate (I don't quote service - someone always gets screwed), same price, and just change the date.

Customer contacted the OEM a couple months back for a problem on one of those machines, an the OEM sent me over to have a look. Figured it out and they asked me about a visit to <drumroll> check out those four machines. I reminded them that I've sent the same estimate four times to the same guy. "Well, we're actually going to do it this time. Send it to me instead." So I dug up and forwarded the last email.

They got back with me last week. Included was their contractor requirements. Holy crap, these things are ridiculous. Gotta provide five different kinds of insurance - including a specific AM Best rating for each policy - including $1,000,000 on the car forshit'ssake just to park in the same lot the employees use, release the company from any liability even if an injury to me is completely their fault, and provide company records of my safety training program including the schedule of employee safety meetings.

Shit, I'm one guy. I don't hold safety meetings with myself nor have an employee safety manual. I don't have $1,000,000 of coverage on my parked car - I bet the owner of the company doesn't, either, nor any of their employees. I don't have workers' comp because I'm self-employed. More crap like this is stuffed all over this "agreement".

Gonna email her back and explain that they'll have to go through the OEM to get me over there. Initial pricing shows I'll pay almost as much in premiums for temporary coverage for their inflated requirements as I would get from doing the work in the first place. I do have biz liability and car coverage now - at lower levels than they want - but they're asking for $5 million in total coverage to work on used machines for a week. Not going to happen.

pigdog: Wow - I see you're from the US of A. It's pretty indicitive of what's happening here regarding over-the-top insurance liabilities for small businesses.

almabrds: (money is all that matters, in the end)

grimwerk: If I made the effort to create a story with multiple endings to explore, and someone else published all the endings out of context, I'd be irked.

almabrds: Most devs don't mind with this type of thing.

JMich: Quick question, are you talking about Lone Survivor Director's Cut, or another game?
Because while I don't see anything wrong with posting the endings of a released game, I'm under the impression that the DC won't be out for another week.

And if you are talking about Lone Survivor, where did you find the Director's Cut? Why hasn't my copy upgraded yet?

almabrds: I bought in PS Store.
