You've been driving for what, 2 weeks? You'll get it.
Plus there's always the option of automatic-only.

The phrase “teaching a pig to sing” comes to mind.
I'm been redeployed as a mobile resource. What the devil is native react? It sounds so terrible I haven't googled it to be proved right.

@DogsB Every couple years a new markup syntax must be invented for the turgid blob of the industry to remain collectively interested into chasing its own tail, chomping its own fat arse and then squeeling in pain. And then doing it again.

Without having watched any of it, nothing of the show looks funny.
My pupils are always when I tell them that I never have watched Big Bang Theory nor have any inclination to do so.

Well, if they're fast enough and also turn it sideways...
For a 50% length contraction you only need about 0.87c

@Rhywden They might not need care about space contraction if they turn the SUV on one side, as long as its height does not exceed 2m. It might help if they deflate the wheels.

Status: Apparently, if a supervisor fails to do some kind of training, the system will eventually assume they have been fired and summarily move all their subordinates to the supervisor's supervisor.
As a consequence of this, another system sees the movement and assumes everyone that got moved necessarily changed position/location in the company and does a badge-access audit. This includes defaulting everyone to be at the same location of the "new" supervisor.
Apparently, automated systems will then conclude that, since the newly-moved employees no longer locate at their prior places (because the new supervisor is across the world from anyone else), that their "general campus access" privileges should immediately be revoked.
Guess how I found out?

Status: Trying to buy Switch controllers this month has been stupid.
Best Buy claims they're in stock but can't ship them to my market for some reason. I was unaware that we seceded from the US. That or Brave is almost as broken as Netscape. Strangely enough, Best Buy's eBay account seems to have alot of stuff listed that's not available on their own site. Let's see what type of stupid is at work here...
Edit: Fun with FukEx today too. Bad enough they do those no-knock delivery attempts. Apparently, the pickup place is only open 8-10AM and 4-6PM. Those are not the hours posted on the website, nor are they particularly convenient for people that work during the day.

You know, maybe if you would start programming with object oriented languages instead of staying stuck in the pre-OOP stone ages, you might have a better serviceability rate

The real solution is to get transparent RGB controllers. That way they'll match your color design all the time

Infinite backorder. I can go buy custom-shelled controllers if I have to. Nintendo's done some stupid stuff over the years and not selling matching pairs of joycons is on that list. It's not like you can just buy two mismatched pairs - most colors are only made in left or right side. They should've discontinued some colors, not grey, if they were going to discontinue anything.

It's part of their outreach to the gamer environment, helping provide them an immediate differentiation between which joycon is which

Status: 1.5 hours left in the working calendar year. And ~45 minutes of that will be a one-on-one with my manager (happens weekly). And no, I'm not going to pick up another ticket right now.
Secondary status: I feel somewhat bad for the 3 people who chose not to take vacation time in the week after Christmas. They could have, but didn't. But certainly not bad enough to work that time.

I'm not going anywhere, so why needlessly burn vacation time I want to save for when I go somewhere... (Now, if those days did not count against my accrued time off, then, yeah, I would be on vacation too)
