It's a reference to an old Swedish sailors' working song become children's song called Albertina/Det byggdes ett skepp uti Norden where the "pumpaläns" (I spelled it wrong) is a recurring declaration.

It means roughly "pump the bilge (water)"

What the hell's up with all these ships now days?

[Frumple]

People are actually paying attention a little, mostly. World loses like a solid dozen or more large ships each year, iirc, nevermind smaller ones, it just usually doesn't make the news much.

Well, you know.
Ship happens

Yahoo Answers will be shut down on May 4th.

Now we shall never know how is babby formed.

It has been a long time coming. Yahoo deleted and hid millions of old questions and then put in an extremely strict automod system. It lost its charm and hilarity and the only real reasons to watch it.

Received a PW with stupid amounts of special signs on my job. Locked myself out thanks to a stupidly antique keyboad design. These are the same people that write down and share passwords all day long. This makes me much more angry than it should fucking stupid pseudosecurity I want to punch a hole in a drywall.

I have about 10-12 passwords at any given time at work, with different rules for each.

I effectively have 2 sets: daily use, and sign in by clicking the forgot password button. One password requires the password to change the password, so I call IT about 2-3 times per year to have them manually reset it. It's enough work to try to guess the rules (they aren't displayed anywhere after you set up the account the first time) for each that I've given up even trying.

fuckin' GPU driver updates.

Every time. They completely cock up my display's brightness/contrast/gamma settings of both of my displays. Its not just that it's a fucking disaster for someone doing stuff where color accuracy is key, such as 3d rendering. its also seemingly impossible to find a combination of these settings that doesn't make my eyes bleed... while still retaining proper white/black levels, not washing out the colors or making them too saturated.

Recent change in weather was rather shit and unexpected. We went from some 20ish degrees to bloody snow in a span of 3 days. More of the stuff fell and stuck in April than it did the whole damn winter :V

Anyways, was caught off with that shit and now I've got a cold, nothing too serious as far as colds go, some sore throat and coughing but mostly a fucking headache that one let go for a second day now. I don't often get headaches but when I do the shit is irritating to say the list, just a numbing cloud around my thoughts that kills any desire to do anything other than sit still and do nothing until it goes away.

To make matters worse a friend is visiting this week and while I've seen them twice already I probably won't catch another chance in at least a month of two which doubly sucks :I

We're going the other way. Went from ~20 C to well into the 30s. It'll be comfortable to be outside again starting in November.

Same here. Sadly it's wet sludge snow. It melts when it hits the ground. No snowmen, no snowball fights.

Sudden spring cold snaps like this wreak havoc on bumblebees, bees, wasps, hornets and many more insect species.
