You can’t introduce that without name dropping! I need a good long nerd fix

Folks down there could use that money right now, they’re still in rough shape from the hurricane. :/

Holy shit, I kind of love that actually. I wouldn’t love to see it on an interview I’m doing, but that it exists and someone somewhere believes that the answer you provide for that will give them some kind of insight into your value as an employee?

And at least one religious college where I live. They were bussing students to polling stations

You don’t go into it looking to find a loneliness cure, you go into it looking to make a new friend. Maybe that friend can be more, but maybe not. The worst case scenario is the same as not trying, a decent outcome is a new friend (which can lead to expanding your pool of datable people!), and maybe you find a partner along the way.

I’ve been married for about a decade now, what I miss most about the dating scene is all the new friends I’d make and experiences I’d have.

The reverse gish gallop!

Oh no, even laserdisc?

Well you obviously need to buy her a nice new one for a holiday

Insurance is absolutely, unambiguously, the worst. I had a stress echocardiogram denied by insurance yesterday because they don’t think I need it. A test to try to identify a problem, what’s my alternative? Wait to see if I drop dead? I guess in that sense I don’t need it but c’mon. And I’m on one of the “good” plans.

It seems like “deny everything and we’ll save money on the people that can’t/won’t fight the denial” is actually common practice now.

I hope their actuaries get to experience the bullshit and have time to regret their contributions to human suffering.

I only wish I could use it as the system WebView implementation.

I’ve been so tempted to buy this for several years now, but I just know the successor will be revealed two weeks after I buy one. D:

Yep yep, nothing quite as fun as associations with colonial bullshit. I definitely should have added /s

That does feel better, I’ll endeavor to correct that!

Bah, undocumented is my modus operandi. Uncredited is unforgivable. Ill absolutely throw together a ticket and add it to the sprint after I’ve fixed an interesting problem that kept me from working on the boring ticket that’s been in my backlog for three sprints. ^_

And don’t work in filenames. But yes, files being in the same order when sorted lexicographic or chronologically makes me smile.

I’ve always thought of “I’ll bring {thing}” as shorthand for “I’ll bring {thing} with me”

Wait, he didn’t chase out literal snakes?!

Depends entirely on the self checkout system in use. My local Kroger has a system that’s absolutely awful to use. Seconds between placing an item in the baking area and the register acknowledging it, and if you scan another item before it’s weighed and acknowledged it’ll yell at you. A few times of that and an associate has to come by and unlock it.

Most of the ones I’ve used at Walmart will handle me scanning and bagging as fast as I want for the most part.

As annoying as it is, I’d rather have visually inconsistent elements rather than broken applications. There’s something to be said for backwards compatibility.

My latest bottle is gorilla and it works well enough. But exactly like you said, I don’t think I could pick it out from every other bottle I’ve used in the last 20 years.
