    ^This. Talk to them if you're actively looking for a new job (though reaching out to people you actually know is usually better), otherwise ignore them.

      The gas station at the Soda Springs I80 exit has the good stuff.

        Was soooo happy to see the new gas station there when I went through a couple of months ago!

            Shit that annoys you

            Below zero in Tahoe isn’t that common. Does this -20 stuff really make that much difference?

            It’s annoying when I forget to keep it topped off and I get my oil change and the shop just useless their mix

                Is it still?

                You're talking about Linux as a PC desktop, right?

                  I like Linux. Even as a PC desktop. Windows is incomprehensible to me. I'd prefer an AIX workstation though.

                      Note that it’s frozen solid. Wtf? 32 degrees freeze protection GUARANTEED!

                      I thought it was winter stuff when I bought it and stuck it in the garage until I needed it in winter.

                          No, it is protecting Down to 32 degrees.
                          It is colored water with a touch of soap.

                            I get it, it was next to the winter stuff and I grabbed it by accident. but what bullshit, "freeze protection guaranteed to 32" - of fucking course it won't freeze until 32.
