They could get a lot worse, I hope they don’t. Our boiler has packed in 2 winters in a row so I feel your pain/cold.

Wait, is it in the lease that tenants pay the water bill? That’s not particularly uncommon and if it hasn’t been getting paid, then, 
.
When I ask a direct question, I expect that question to be answered directly. It’s not difficult.
So I’m going back and forth with this lady who provides some data for us who works at a 3rd party company. I asked her to verify a rather simple question but I KEEP getting back round about answers that leave waaaaay too much ambiguity.
I asked: “Can you verify that these 300 lines of the file are the only changes that were made to the file” (it matters as I don’t want to process the entire file if I can process only these 300 lines - system resources are precious).
She answers: “Those are data in the file.” (I’m paraphrasing).
Now, I’m about 99% certain that these 300 lines are the only changes to the file. But, i need to be 100% certain and answered in no uncertain terms. She answers in uncertain terms. Just answer the fucking question directly.
Answer I’m looking for (and the only acceptable one): “Yes, those 300 lines were the only changes made to the file.” - Make a confirmation, then restate the question as I asked it. Leaves no ambiguity at all. But this fine lady can’t seem to do that.

People who refer to California as “Cali” . I’ve lived here all 51 years of my life and it seems to be some new thing.
Cali is a city in Colombia…
And the asshole who created the CaliLife t-shirts and hoodies…fuck him.
People who make generalizations about 40 million fucking people.

Oh god, you should deal with management at my company. I asked about how we are storing video files and I got some answer about drones communicating with each other.
BTW, is the file plain text? If so, there’s a free tool for windows called winmerge that lets you compare and show you changes.
yes but I’m good enough in Python to write a quick bit of code. BUT, the point is all you have to do is confirm. It’s a straight forward answer; if I wanted to have a 10 minute long Socratic method session surrounding a simple question I’d ask my wife where she wants to go for dinner…

It’s one of those life hacks. You can save a lot of extra time by not pronouncing “fornia” how ever many times one might say it over the course of a lifetime.

Says the guy who lives where it’s easily 10 degrees warmer. Enjoy your summertime walk to your probably-not-even remotely parked car, ya big judger!
having to write ‘fornia’ is such a draaaaaaaaaaaaag.

It was in the 60s here today. Short sleeves and sunglasses.
I heard a weather forecast for my area today that mentioned both tornadoes and snow in consecutive sentences. Apparently we’re due for our first storms of the year.
Such a seasonal context statement. In the summer we’re easily 10 degrees cooler as well…
I dunno. Hasn’t been my experience unless you’re standing ON the sea shore (selling sea shells).
I’m in the mountains, man. Perhaps you haven’t realized how really rugged I am!
