WTF Was That?

What the fuck was that?

Do you wish to compact all local and offline folders to save disk space?

Really?  Again?  Do you wish for me to shove this keyboard up your ass?  OMG!  That is THE most annoying message.  Every damn time hit the DEL key to delete a message in Thunderbird email, I get “Do you wish to compact all local and offline folders to save disk space?”   I’ve been battling this message for months and thought it was introduced in one of the MANY recent updates they’ve been doing.  In hindsight, my mailbox has reached the 20MB space limit for the compacting message to pop up.

Here’s how to turn it off or adjust the settings for it.

In Thunderbird, go to Tools, Options, Advanced, Network & Disk Space.  You can either increase the amount of space or uncheck the checkbox to make it stop altogether.  If you turn it off, then you can manually compact folders from File, Compact Folders.

Turn off "Do you wish to compact all local and offline folders to save disk space?"

Is Charlie Sheen Still Crazy?

It’s amazing how new events make us forget about other events, like how the Japan tsunami pushed Charlie Sheen to the back burner and then how Osama Bin Laden’s death pushed the Fukushima nuclear reactor crisis off the radar.  Believe me, that radiation didn’t go away, but the media buried it. 

So, is Charlie Sheen still off the hook?  Haven’t heard much about him.  Do you think Charlie Sheen is crazy?  Click the button to vote.

What I Learned Today: March 6, 2011

California Condor
I’m starting a new post category called “What I Learned Today”.  No, it’s not about Charlie Sheen being a Ninja Asshole from Mars.  This is truly amazing stuff that makes me go, “Damn, I never fucking knew that!”

I have a Netflix Roku and when I don’t feel like a full-length movie, I watch a lot of documentaries.  Here are a few things I picked up today.

  1. A momma sea otter blows air into her baby otter’s fir to keep it afloat while she goes hunting.  (At least she says she’s going hunting.  pfft!)  Sea otters have the densest fir of any animal. One square inch has more hairs than an entire human head.  DAMN!
  2. California condors can live for 50 years.  That still doesn’t negate the fact that they are butt ugly.
