*Shudders* Reminds me of how some quebequers mix English and French so unashamedly.

I think that's the very reason it doesn't always sound so bad in Japan. Deformed like that, the words fuse pretty well into the real Japanese.
That's because everything the Japanese do are better. It's the reason they are the model for other Asian cultures, or at least should be. But mostly only for the superficial stuff. If you look any deeper into their culture, it's a cesspool like any other.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Japanese isn't the only language to use loan words in that way. Kinyarwanda is the only one that comes to mind at the moment, but I know there are more.
It's not totally uncommon for languages that don't allow codas (basically a consonant at the end of a syllable), to incorporate loan words by inserting vowels. I know we came across at least 3 in one of my classes last semester.

I just got home from work and there were these two Chinese people on the bus mixing English words in to Mandarin. I was angry.
I'm freaking pissed at myself, because I made the mistake of plugging in 6 pretty high-end poweredge 1950's (dual quad-core xeon 3.16, 16gb ram, 4x146gb 10k sas 2.5inch disks) into a 20 amp fused busway access box. It was fine when they were just idle, but when I started initializing raids and installing systems, they suddenly just ... went dark.
Turns out, I was probably pulling in the neighborhood of 25 amps through it, and rather than the 20 amp fuse popping like it's supposed to, the whole frigging busway box seems to have died. This sets me back about a day in what I was doing, because now I've gotta get facilities to come in and put in a new box or two.
I think I'm going to run into this same situation again in the middle of next week, when we power on half a dozen disk shelves in a rack that's already got 3 more of those fairly beefy poweredges on one circuit and is pushing 10-15 amps to the cabinet next to it on the other one.
20 amps just ... isn't enough power.
lol noob.....
So what happened to the fuse? Did you ever find out why it didn't blow?
And did you have any say in ordering Dell products? Cause I'd be more upset with myself about that.

No idea why the fuse lived and the box died. Maybe the electrician will be able to shed some light tomorrow...
As far as dell stuff goes ... given that we're about 75% a hardcore linux shop, and 25% windows.... who's better? I have some voice on the subject, but based on my experience with them and with other vendors in the same sector, I'm all for it being a dell shop. They make some nice server hardware for just absurdly cheap prices.
Turns out, the box and the fuse were both fine. It was the power strip (also rated 20A) that died. And it died below 20A, because it's also got a 20A breaker built in that didn't trip.
Now I've got the power distributed a bit better (on two strips on two boxes, about evenly distributed). Had to install another box to make room, but no biggie there.
So yeah .... it was a mistake on my part to plug that much shit in to the same strip, but the strip was also poorly built and died before it should have. All very depressing.
Want to elaborate on your story Eurasian?

I tried my best...
Straight from my Facebook:
Today is the first time this term that I forgot to bring my house keys to work. It just so happens that when I got back from work, my room door was locked. I never lock my door, even when I'm gone, so somebody locked it from the inside. Who? I don't now. Somebody.
I tried calling my landlord but she had her phone turned off, so all I got was voice mail. The thing is, her voice mail is always full so that doesn't do me any good.
I walked to the dollar store in the nearby plaza and bought a screwdriver. Dollar store my ass. Nothing was a dollar in that store. The screwdriver costed me $2.50 + tax. Goddamn Koreans...
I unscrewed the fasteners that held the window screen on the outside of the house and pried the screen off with a spoon. Then I lifted my window open and climbed in using a kitchen stool. Luckily my room is on the ground floor and I didn't lock the window. My clothes got covered in dirt but that's okay. I'm back on the computer now and that's all that matters. In a brand new change of clothes, no less.
Upset that you couldn't buy MGS4?
I guess the real thing isn't as exciting as it looks, now is it?
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
I feel like MGS4ing whoever did this to me.
I just bought a jar of Skippy's Natural peanut butter, assuming it would have less saturated fat than the regular kind. Stupid assumption.
I get home and realize it's actually got more saturated fat because of the ingredient they use to keep it from separating. Waste of money and food right there. Shit.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Saturated fat PER SERVING. Just dilute it with olive oil or something. Better yet, use peanut oil.
Wouldn't you just use less of it?

We've seen your pictures, Xan. You're 21 and seem to be in great health. Why are you worrying about things like saturated fat? Wait until you're in your 30s and 40s. Then it's all anyone talks about, plus cholesterol, carbs, etc. It really does get tiresome listening to them.
