No? I watch a lot of older movies, but I don't know why you'd assume I've seen a movie that came out in 1983.
Jeez, you're like one of those old hoboes living in a cave on a moutain that hasn't seen the first Star Wars movie, either, I bet.

Good Idea: Putting a Duramax into a Camaro!

@mott555 I bet that's been done millions of times.

@blakeyrat we don't want anything too sensitive around here lest people think that purple dildos might be gentle!!

I spent my lunch on tdwtf. And before that. And after.
I may have a problem.

@dcon If you actually need to know the time often enough to wear a watch, you need a good dose of slack. Spend a few weeks in Jamaica.

@sloosecannon You would be correct. I will get back to you about that tomorrow. I see the P/IM, but it did not pop the notification.

@Jaloopa Why does it have headlights, but then above the headlights have other-headlights?
I think that's the daylight running lamps above. Not sure, since I'm generally in it when the lights are on

I know Mexicans. Lots of Mexicans. You're going to get raped. Huge, huge amounts of rape. I have people, the best people, and they're assured me that you WILL be raped.

@Tsaukpaetra The rebooting routers thread is

@aliceif In this case, such a device wouldn't have helped, because half of the wifi was indeed working just fine (well, DNS resolution broke for some reason, but that's another ongoing issue).

@Tsaukpaetra Huh! I've seen that sort of thing a few times over the past month or two too. Wonder what's happening.

STATUS:
Yesterday, my whole day went to hell. Contractor who was supposed to deliver code for yesterday's launch had failed miserably. I spent the whole day coding everything from scratch.
Was too busy to rant about it throughout the day. Then in the evening, the site basically keeled over and was unusable. By the time it came back, the passion was gone.
So, whatever. I've moved on.
Thanks, nodebb.

@dkf Every working day is Meetingday. I miss GetStuffDoneday.

@dkf Indeed. I have something similar but it's GetAllStuffDoneDay. The difference is subtle but significant.

Status: Finally got the software I need. Turns out I still can't do the thing I was blocked on until I got the software, because raisins. I'm not entirely certain about those raisins, I do think they might be , but the upshot is, it's not a battle worth fighting just at this moment.
Because of that I've been blocked from the thing I was supposed to have done by midday until a coworker got back from an unavoidable errand (he's just arrived now), so I started trying to work on the thing I don't need to do (and can't really do) until I've done the first thing. I badly need advice on that, but I have no-one here who's likely to be able to help and I can only access the internet on IE9. I can, sometimes, reply to threads in here but it appears I can't start a topic in Coding Help. Stack Overflow is awful in IE9; I haven't confirmed I can't ask a question because I've forgotten my login details and can't access my email for a reset. Also those guys are scarier than you folks.
I also learned that one of my higher-ups doesn't consider me a junior dev and the senior devs we are supposed to be hiring won't be expecting to need to give me much guidance. Although he said very nice confidence-boosting things about my work so far, I promptly had a silent anxiety attack from which I've not entirely recovered because I have no idea what I'm doing.
On the plus side, I have acquired a whole desk. Alas, that this is cause for celebration.

That doesn't change very much, but occasionally you stop worrying about it and find that you're winging it more easily than before.

@Polygeekery recipe link? Because I need yummy.

@Weng My recipe as it were is sort of a cross between:
and
Really though, the recipe is "throw a shitload of smoked and cured meats in a pot with black beans, stock, a couple of bay leaves and maybe some cumin. Cook until everything falls apart and it becomes stew. Serve with rice."
Pretty hard to mess up, really. Just be careful of the salt. Lots of the meats already have salt in them.

Mahjong is easy. You stack the tiles up like legos to make buildings, then knock them down and laugh.
Fair warning: I learned to play Mahjong when I was 3, with the spare sets my grandmother kept around the house.
-
@Lorne-Kates Another common way is to stack them all up in weird shapes and then continue walking off with ones that look the same.
-
@Magus That's too :man1: :man3: :man3: :man7: for most of us.

@Polygeekery I tend to discard salt from most recipes anyway. With my fatarseitude, I don't really need it.
