wow I went to London for a month and lost weight!
that's because you subsisted on a diet of whiskey and iced americanos. Your sister and I wonder wether you'll be dead or broke by Wednesday.
I'm out of money now!

STATUS Because eggs are cheaper there apparently.
Back in Dublin. I went out to get eggs. A six-pack is like two fifty! I got 15 eggs for that in London. I'm not made of money. I'm going to be getting thinner because I can't afford eggs until my next pay cheque.

@DogsB why is everyone here eating so fricking many eggs??

@topspin
to get their dose of PFAS?

Delivered by DHL.
When I arrived at home from shopping, I found a parcel on my kitchen table. has happened here?
Well, DHL delivered it by throwing it though the opened window.
It works.

Status: Bank website fun. I've been alternating large payments and need to see what last month's amount was. So I log in, go to the checking account, filter on withdrawals (because the new system has never been able to differentiate checks or bills), click previous two weeks, and....500 server error. Nobody ever tested that use case? Shouldn't be surprised. I've reporting the & sign fucking up display several times in the last few months and that bug is still there too.
@Arantor said in The Official Status Thread:
@Zenith yes they read the manual before playing, rather than expecting the game to tutorialise them.
The funny part is that EWJ2 actually does tutorialize you through the first level (and then with decreasing frequency as it goes on).
@topspin said in The Official Status Thread:
@Zenith eh, I canât figure out modern shit, so in total Iâd say things are just different.
There's the "this button shoots, this button jumps, now run left to right" of yesteryear and then there's "OK, here you go, figure it out" open worlds.

I'll explain as soon as I finish these eggs.

It works fine! Just shows a nastygram.
But we're not supposed to support it, so I chauvinistically told them no.
Edit: The system in question goes by the name "S2600"

It wouldn't have been so much fun if you ordered a dozen eggs.

Yeah, but those are so valuable they'd be totally impractical to ship via DHL. You wouldn't be able to afford the insurance.

Depends. If he was planning to make an omelette, it would have saved him some time

@Zerosquare I hear you can get 3-cent eggs for 5 cents each in Milan.

STATUS sweating penicillin. I'm also about to sit down and write four HTML pages from scratch. Any bets on when I give up on divs and move to tables?

Four pages turned out to be extremely optimistic. I got one mostly done but I think I spent more time hunting for the correct colours, answering emails and trying to set the out of office stuff.
I remembered why I like hacking HTML. The feedback loop is extremely quick. I forgot one requirement. Must work in email and webpage. Email has link to web version.
After the holiday problem!

In that case, just go with tables. Email support of HTML is trapped in the 90s.

I'm now envisioning some kind of eldritch horror embedding an SPA in an email which is being displayed by an SPA...
-
@Tsaukpaetra nah, email really is trapped in the 90s. In a mostly pre JavaScript era. If not for the fact that people want responsive emails (doable but hard work for limited payoff), it's quite a pleasant thing to sit and do because it just fucking works.
Tables, I've missed you.

I outperformed three departments and everyone looked bad.

Are you sure you didn't break every computer in three departments and made your lead look bad?

No, that would have looked great as then more tickets would be created.

Except you can't create a ticket if there's no longer any working device to do so.

Fucking statistics how do they work ...
And still I get resistance when I hammer on splitting & cloning tickets, especially when it means you get a reset of the SLA timer ... it's a fucking free 'get out of jail' card

div
andtable
do not exclude each other. It is totally legit to puttable
intodiv
, or to putdiv
intotable
. And, of course, any combinations allowed, including deep nesting. Enjoy!

Someone said "grate news" on chat, which is making me want to post something like this, but I won't.
Because I have standards and I'd spent a lot more than 2 minutes creating the right image, and by the time I'd finish the timing would be completely off.
-
@Zecc
But at least now you have it ready for the next time someone grates on the English language.

@izzion said in The Official Status Thread:
grates on
May I suggest "grates against", or "harps on"? I already did, btw.

@izzion I feel like @HardwareGeek needs this on standby the entire time.

It's been a hot minute since I've been here, so I'm catching up to a couple of the comments re: the Secretlab chair:
@Zenith said in The Official Status Thread:
@e4tmyl33t I looked those chairs up. The biggest problem buying a chair online is that you can't tell what it feels like. From the pictures, that fabric looks like yarn or a wool sweater. I generally like something like microfiber, though the chair I have right now is neither.
This isn't either of those. The fabric almost feels like a soft denim? I don't know what it is exactly but it's a woven thread type that it seems my cats can't easily destroy, unlike their default hybrid leatherette stuff.
@Benjamin-Hall said in The Official Status Thread:
I can't do those chairs because, well, I'm "heavier" (aka a fat blob of lard). And that means chairs not built for such people (which theirs aren't) tend to break in new and unexpected ways, unexpectedly.
That's why I got the XL size. I'm a bit on the larger side myself (6', ~280lbs) and this chair seems like it's built for people even a little larger than I am. This XL is rated for up to 395lbs.

status: asshole father decided right before bed is an excellent time to grill me on the fine details about my trucks' lease, and whether the dealership can force me to buy something something question mark nonsense (I'm tired and can't understand his questions).
What the fuck, man, making someone distressed and worried is literally the OPPOSITE of what you should be doing before bed!
Dammit!
