If you're gonna stick your head above the parapet, you have to be prepared to pay the iron price.

Fun.

Status: I went to review the wholesale requirements of the store I'm fighting with the retail side of and noticed something funny. Instead of e-mailing all applicants separately, they put everybody on the same e-mail. I can't see the other BCC people but I can see the store in the To field.
Also, my friend mentioned that he wanted to try and do more shows this year than just the one in Philly. He's clearly operating under the erroneous assumption that there are tons of local and affordable options. Narrator: There aren't. Doing the research, again, I remember why I cut so many shows from our schedule in the first place.
This Philly show, the only one I've ever turned a profit at, charges $120 for a 10x10 space over two full days. They provide a table and chairs and allow loading Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. They also have several guests, events, and prizes to draw in attendees. It's a really well-run show and keeps growing every year.
Some of these other bush league shows want $300 per table. Some of the spaces are absurdly small (like 5x8) or don't even come with a table or chairs (they cost extra). Some require Friday set up, which just costs you extra lodging if you live any distance away. Fewer guests/events, if any at all.
It's like any business arrangement anymore. There's a party that does all of the work and another party that takes all of the money.
As a bit of good news, a show that I torched the bridge to apparently went under the year after I did so. More or less what I warned the organizer would happen happened. He thought he could lose a year to COVID and jerk vendors around. Narrator: He couldn't.
Sadly, this means I haven't made any progress filling out 2024's calendar yet either...

Did you remember to also sit a day on it afterward, then on day 4 in the status update tell your manager you've given it some basic dev testing, but it really ought to pass by QA before release?

@dcon Mostly, it was giving me enchilada sauce on everything I touched. It took me a while to figure out where it was coming from.

Status wondered why the logging in this "inherited" project was so...odd and non-standard.
Turns out it's yet another home-brewed, half-baked library made by the R&D folks who made the project in the first place. Seriously? You rolled your own logging library? And it doesn't even do anything particularly novel!

Node.js, so no hope of that.

But would it really be enterprisey if it doesn't work via some reflection-based factory attribute able to parse the most generic of protocols, dynamically downloaded from *waves* somewhere?

Fuck Google right up the ass.
Fuck them repeatedly and roughly, they fucked me hard enough that's only fair.
Fuck them without a safe word, they never gave me a safe word so fair is fair.
Fuck them without lube, they never gave me any lube when they fucked me.
Fuck them with a rusty spiked dildo that's sized to fuck a blue whale.
Fuck Google right up the ass.

No. The magnificence of a beard takes priority.

Does it at least queue events to be persisted in a seperate thread from current execution? Bonus points if text expansion is also done on that thread.

It does not spark joy.In future, if you make food from red lentils, make it be joyful food. Maybe the healthiness will tag along for the ride?

Objectively wrong. Enchilada sauce makes everything better.

@DogsB Applied properly (for some definition of "proper"), it might help hide some of the gray hair.

Iāll concede Iām wrong this once. Just this once. Salt and pepper adds a certain distinguishness to voluptuous beard. Masking it would be a crime.
-
@DogsB Salt and pepper? Hmm. Maybe red pepper. Reddish? The brown/red of the dried and cooked peppers in the sauce.

It does not spark joy.Get inspiration from an Indian restaurant. They usually know how to make tasty food from lentils beans etc. There are Indian restaurants also in your home town.

just fitbit deciding all of a sudden that i MUST right this minute upgrade my email based fitbit account into a google backed account or no more logging for me, no watch integration, nothing.
no problem. i'll use the account that i've had for over a decade and is the one all my email is is, it's the one that pays for fitbit premium, it's the one i do *EVERYTHING with.
oh. yes problem. it's a google workspace account. which is a google account except i can't use it for ANY service that didn't exist when i signed up for workspaces for reason and i can't migrate the account back to a normal gmail account because i use a custom domain. and in any case even if i didn't i couldnt' because you can't migrate a google account.
so i have to create a new google account that exists only for fitbit becuase i CAN'T USE THE ACCOUNT I ALREADY HAVE until i link it to a google account and I CANNOT USE THE GOOGLE ACCOUNT THAT I ALREADY HAVE because it's "the wrong type of account"
and i can't even say "no thank you i'll keep using my email and password based" account because IT JUST DECIDED I NEEDED TO "UPGRADE" RIGHT NOW
Fuck Google.
Fuck them with the biggest, rustiest, most disease infested dildo you have.

@accalia and to think there was a time we regarded Google as evil-but-competent, as opposed to whatever the fuck this is.
Itās like enshittification at the internal level, they canāt even be evil correctly any more.
