I think we need a thread to be a stand-in for Instagram around here, so that we can all share pictures of our lunch.

Yes.

Run. Run now. Don't stop. Don't look back. Just run.

It's quite funny the amount of people who've said variations on "it's not too late to back out". Mostly happily married people

Having a wife is wonderful. Having an ex-wife sucks.

And entirely males. Women don't make that joke.

Marriage is grand, divorce is 100 grand.

Or, possibly the funniest marriage joke I have ever heard, and very near the top of the list of most cynical things ever heard...
Me: "How long have you been married?"
Co-worker: "Over 30 years. If I had killed her instead of marrying her, I would be a free man by now."
-
"we've been happily married for 6 months. The 20 years since then haven't been too bad either".
There was also an answer to an Ask Reddit post about what people who never met "the one" do with their lives.
It's not so bad. Mostly I just hang out with my wife and watch TV

People frequently make comments about how my wife and I are so happy together and ask our secret. Both of us will respond, "Alcohol".

One time I sent an SMS to a friend and he didn't receive it for a week and a half. AT&T.
That kind of broken the illusion that SMS was more reliable or expedient than, say, US Mail.
-
My phone's sms app once crashed when receiving a text message, so badly I had to reboot the phone. When it came back up, no sign of the text.
The same phone once told me it had sent a message but the recipient later told me they hadn't received it.
On my current phone, I started using Hangouts as the SMS app when they offered the option. I frequently didn't receive messages, or received them with no notification so I only noticed the next time I opened the app. Since switching back to the default app I haven't had those problems, so that one would be Google's buggy shit

mostly to make residents of Texas sad.
It doesn't. We know you're just deluding yourself.

In 48 hours, the ceremony will be just about over
What does your not-yet-wife think about you posting her during that ridiculously-long ceremony, instead of paying attention to her?
-
Cue Texans to come and tell us how they are more than 2% of: (land area, size of economy, amount of oil, amount of military, etc.)
Speaking of Texas... apparently someone at Gawker filed a FOIA request with Gov. Abbott for any emails relating to Jade Helm. (For non-Americans, this is an upcoming (going-on-now?) large military exercise being conducted in the southwestern US. Certain paranoid folks think it is a cover for an invasion of conservative states, or more generously, an attempt to pressure/intimidate them. Gov. Abbott a while back said he is ordering the Texas National Guard to oversee the operation to make sure that doesn't happen.)Most of the stuff returned from the request is really quite dull, but there was one gem:
They even scanned the foil as part of the FOIA request:
-
Texas... Gov. Brownback
Either you got your states mixed up or you came up with a novel insult for Governor Abbott.

Fixed. I have no idea where "Brownback" came from...(Gov. Brownback is of Kansas. Maybe his name was floating around in my head? Not sure.)

That would require a lot of postage.
I dunno. I bet you could, with collusion from friends, get enough free postage from those Pitney-Bowes postal meters to do it. $55 in free stamps per account would go a long way.

No, Catholics aren't terribly bad in that regard; tow probably thinking of charismatics.

Nope. The Catholic weddings that I have been to are usually hours long and they have a large enough wedding party as to be bigger than some national militaries.

I suggest that the kind of person to have a wedding like that would've done it irrespective of their branch of the church.
Charismatics already do half-day-plus church services, they'd be a natural for an all-day wedding.
-

I'm too lazy to look it up, but how large are the armies of states like Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City, etc?
-
Vatican City
IIRC, Vatican City has no military. Their "military" is supplied by the Swiss Guard.

the beans definitely need to cook more.
Religious war started due to my failure to read the recipe. If I had, I'd have known that I needed to have the Crock Pot on high to have any chance of it being ready for dinner, and there would have been no need to have mentioned beans at all.

there would have been no need to have mentioned beans at all.
The damage still would have been done. A silent injury is still an injury.

Just to be clear, we in Texas have no objection to beans per se. In fact, my favorite BBQ place offers them free as a side dish. They just don't belong in chili.

Always fun: running an experiment for just shy of 100 hours of CPU time, having it finish the really computationally-expensive part, and having it assert because you passed the wrong command line arguments.
Whoops.
-

Clearly, many people disagree.
A silent injury is still an injury.
I fail to see how what I do in the privacy of my kitchen injures you at all. (Unless, perhaps, you lived nearby and downwind, but in that case my dogs would do far more injury to your olfactory sense than I ever would. Or you consider what I do in my own kitchen to violate some sort of Holy Writ.)

Status: Did some code refactoring, felt really bad about what I was doing at the beginning, but a quick class rename and I feel better about it. Pretty sure I'm doing the right thing with this.
