Thanks for all the work you and the rest of the mod team do to keep this instance great. I appreciate the transparency on the operating costs and the opportunity for the rest of us to contribute.

What, if anything are you doing to help shield yourself against any personal liability? I’ll admit I have exactly zero knowledge of Canadian law on the subject so I have no idea what what the implications are. I’m mostly just curious.

I will now roast Tom Brady.

“Fuck you Tom Brady! AHAHAHAHAHA”

Roasted.

This comment is brought to you by “The Roast of Tom Brady”. Only on Netflix. Go fuck yourself Tom Brady.

The plane itself becomes a weapon in a pinch. Now that’s what I call efficiency.

My former doctor: “Ya. You probably have ADHD but you’re fine. You’ve learned to cope with it.”

Me: Drinking half a bottle of Jim Beam every night to “cope”.

Side note: nice seeing you around again Stamets. The meme quality was suffering in your absence.

I also wondered what kind of rock OP lives under. I use email every day, multiple times per day. I probably send more emails than texts.

We should reframe climate change as an attack on winter recreational activities. Then Republicans might actually give a shit about it.

“Oh, I’m not worried about climate change. But I’m very concerned about the impending demise of snowmobiling.”

Alcohol. Before getting formally diagnosed and medicated, drinking was the only thing that would quiet the inner restlessness. It worked but it’s not a healthy lifestyle at all.

This is something I like to bring up to people who are hesitant to medicate their kids. Yeah, I know you think Timmy is fine because he’s not completely failing in school, but you should at least show Timmy that he has options and that it’s OK to talk to a doctor and take medication if he needs it. He doesn’t have to rely on Jack Daniels and Folgers to eek his way through life.

Or a sense of humor.

Reviewing large PR’s is hard. Breaking apart large PR’s that are all related changes into smaller PR’s is also hard.

If I submit a big one, I usually leave notes in the description explaining where the “core” changes are and what they are trying to accomplish. The goal being to give the reviewers a good starting point.

I also like to unit test the shit out of my code which helps a lot. The main issue there is getting management to embrace unit tests. Unit tests often double the effort up front but save tons of time in the long run. We’re going to spend the time one way or the other. Better to do it up front when it’s “cheaper” because charging it to the tech debt credit card racks up lots of expensive interest.

Ah, I see you’ve met the product owner.

A Mose is a Mose.
A rose is a rose.
A toes is a toes.
Whoop-dee-doo-dee-doo-doo!

Fancy title for the developer that gets yelled at when the CI pipeline is broken. Also a good chance they are the one that broke it.

It’s like Wyle E Coyote finally gets an ACME rocket that’s fast enough to catch the road runner, only to go zooming by the roadrunner on an upward trajectory headed for the moon.

“Can we get a show show of hands just to confirm we’re ready to move forward?”

I used to have a semi-outdoor cat. She could come and go from the basement through a cat door. That little shit knew where my bedroom was and every morning she would climb up on the shelf as high as possible and meow loudly as if to say, “Hey! Hey Dumbass! Are you gonna feed me or what!? Heeeeyyyy!”

If I was a Boeing shareholder, I would be mad as a wet hen right about now. Amid a string of phenomenally bad business decisions that culminated in the flying [sorta] tin can that is the 737 MAX, Boeing is handed an aerospace companies PR wet dream: transporting astronauts to the International Space Station. They then proceeded to drop that softball so hard that the thud could probably be heard from Mars.

Didn’t some cable companies get all butthurt that you could fast forward through the recorded commercials?

They could even provide an electronic box (for a nominal fee, or course) that shows me a menu of all the shows and movies that are available and what times they are going to play. That way I wouldn’t have to search through a bunch of streaming services. It could all just be in one place.
