[00:21] My UPS battery is dying, so I went to Microcenter tonight and asked them where they have their UPS batteries. "Do you have the old one?" the saleslady asked. "No," I replied, "but I have the model number." [00:21] "Oh. It's going to be hard finding you the right battery unless you have the old one." Me: WHA? [00:22] "I'm sorry, I figured you could look it up by model number. It never occured to me I'd have to lug in a 30 lb battery." [00:22] "Maybe I can still help. What model was it?" I told her. "That's a small one, isn't it? Let's check some of these..." [00:23] It seems that some of their batteries come in boxes with the supported UPS models on the back. But many others come unboxed, and they match them up BY SIZE. [00:25] I tried explaining that I could go online and find the exact battery I need for half the price of theirs. I also explained that if I needed wiper blades or an air filter, I could go into Pep Boys and consult a book that cross-referenced all the models. [00:28] I'm still amazed by this. [06:42] heh [06:42] waltman: nice :) [09:42] Morning [11:26] JonathanD: I'm not crazy, right? That's a pretty wackadoodle way to sell batteries, isn't it? [12:11] Morning peoples, dogs, turkeys?, hamsters and everything else [12:31] waltman: absolutely. [12:31] waltman: especially as I can tell you what your battery is without thinking about it... [12:32] waltman: it's an RBC2. [13:29] Today we release Ubuntu 14.04 - come and join the release party in #ubuntu-release-party on the freenode IRC network to meet other Ubuntu fans getting fired up for the release! #ubuntu [13:34] I'll wait for the after-party. That's when the booze comes out [13:54] We need ubuntu release party mints. [14:09] Is there going to be a meatspace release party? [14:24] ChinnoDog: friday, KyleYankan's house :P [14:37] So long as Kyle can keep the booze flowing [14:47] no booze. dry town. [14:47] O_O [14:47] The little people have liver issues :-/ [21:46] Whoa, where is this location? if its close I may want to go [21:47] always down for meeting the LOCO team. This is a good opportunity to support another branch of the PA LOCO in the burgh and start that topic moving. [21:47] cuz quite frankly, driving to philly every month isn't that appealing to attending meetings. Unless you guys are OK with having a floating talking head attend via hangouts [21:57] lazyPower: I think they were joking [21:58] oh :( [21:58] booo [23:18] We could maybe meet at coredial if you really want something in the burbs lazyPower [23:18] are you pgh local JonathanD? [23:19] oh, you're looking for pgh? [23:19] I can't help wiht that :) [23:31] I'm updating! [23:31] I hope it works.
