@r10pez10 You have to have someone witness your voting?
that completely destroys the concept of anonymous voting.

status morning standup meeting.
One of the devs looks like she has a headache.
Goes to sit down.
Faints.
One 911 call and ambulance (with EMTs) visit later, she's wheeled off to get checked out at the hospital. One dev going with her for support, another going to get fainter's mother (who is just now visiting from China, and doesn't speak English, so our dev who speaks Mandarin is going).
All signs point to blood sugar crash (she is an athlete and skipped breakfast oops).
So that's half the team gone, including all the people I needed for my project today. What a Friday. I guess I could do invoices instead.
-
@Lorne-Kates Lucky, you had at least one other dev on the team in for some time. Me, I'm abandoned and alone.
pls send halp

@blakeyrat that's why people don't take you seriously when you're not trolling. maybe you should have an alt account for when you're not trolling

@fbmac it could have a reverse of your username, like whiteycat, but whiteycat would be too obvious, maybe taking something white, like snow, or frost. @frostcat would do

@Onyx it's all the same paint; it's just where it went on the wet joint compound, the paint is a little shinier or lighter or something.

@blakeyrat so where does that leave you, being 100% responsible for being a colossal dick? Or are you 100% irresponsible, unable to control yourself being a colossal dick?
Either way, take your sanctimonious bullshit and cram it up your arse, and pound it in good and hard with a spiked purple dildo.

Do I need a drink to have a good time?
I have personally found that drinking has a 0% success rate of improving the "fun" at any given social event. YMMV, HTH, etc.

Feature request: "Reply To Later"
Or maybe just simply "Don't open composer when in multi-quote mode", so you add your post quotes now and it stacks up in the composer, and when you're ready, click the Red Boob to actually formulate your replies.
But, that would require the appearance of the Red Boob on

Eh, it's hit or miss. Watching drunk people gets boring fairly quickly, and it's not as interesting as memeing...

I don't enjoy it because I find myself embarrassed on behalf of the people doing dumb things that should make them embarrassed, but they're too drunk to realize it.

Status: Had to go back a few versions of our code to reproduce a bug report (for a client who's not up-to-the-minute). Our front-end is a single page app, a'la NodeBB but significantly less shitty. So I yank it's version corresponding to our back-end version, clean out all the cached bower components and node modules, and follow the build instructions using Grunt.
It finishes the "less" task (the CSS transform tool, not the CLI pager tool) and then the build just... stops. Node.JS is still running, and it's still using 300 MB of RAM, but nothing's happening. 0% CPU activity for a half hour now. No errors printed in the console. Hm.
This has been another encounter with: Quality Open Source Software!
How are you supposed to even debug this shit? There's nothing to go on. What a heap of garbage.

Status: cable people came while i was at work and messed some more with the instalation. Apparently, they fucked up my internet. Great.
Since im now bored, i decide this is the prefect oportunity to install the new 500gb ssd into my laptop. Its been collecting dust for weeks, nows the chance.
Damn, the laptop doesnt see the new ssd. Try the old one, its fine. Try the 500gb ssd from my main pc, bios sees it fine.
So, new plan. I'm gonna copy my desktop hdd onto the new ssd, then use the new ssd in my desktop, and desktop ssd will go into my laptop. I put those two into my server, booted from a rescue cd and started the cloning.
And here i am. Technology has abandoned me. No desktop pc, no laptop, no second pc/server, no tv. I only have several phones, ipad and 2 raspberry pis to keep me entertained. And only gprs for the internet. Its like the middle ages over here.

When I was still doing tech support for a pay tv company, one woman in a situation like yours called me (it was a weekend) and asked me what she was supposed to do now?
I was soooooo tempted to say: "Maybe you could ... go outside? Read a book?"

Status: Holy crap, the loading music for this game lasts like 25 seconds! I usually only hear the first three because that's how long it usually takes to load, but because app upgrade it's taking longer than usual and I can listen to the whole thing actually loop!
Edit: they changed the map? Weird. Whatever, I still have 33 million bits to spend (eventually).

Status: Wondering what idiot decided that we can provide support on a 24hr SLA for an app that we didn't write (the company that did went bust), don't have access to the source code for (this got lost by the client), don't have any documentation for (I seriously doubt this ever existed), and then on top of all that didn't tell anybody what they had agreed to?
On that note, guess what broke today...

hellbanning
Why would you do that? It's evil
It's great against spambots because they won't register more accounts if they don't think they're getting banned.
Also, you don't have to do a complete hellban because as I said it isn't a special case. You could do something crazy like hellbanning a group of users in a specific topic. Or making two groups of users that can only see posts from the other group.

I remember reading somewhere that if you over indulge in caffeine your body floods your body with sleep hormones. Does explain why I feel tired after 3 double expressos in two hours but I can't remember where I read that so be skeptical!

In this case, it was actually legitimate, one of the API calls is 20 times slower than it should be, the equivalent database call completes in one second yet the site returns data only after an abysmal 23...
Still doesn't help the solving, because we haven't changed the site any...

Hmm, do you have anything in place where you can easily measure what the time taken for each step of the call is? Otherwise you'll be shooting blind…
