at least my stapler is in my desk

Status: One of these days, I will be programming a progress bar function and just put in "I have no fucking idea" for the ETA. I feel like that would be much more honest.
-
also, I lost my attendance while climbing Wank hill
-
surely the "truncated" version on GitHub should be truncated somewhere after the first byte.
Is that specified in the contract?
-
They can discriminate against @ben_lubar. He is a white male.

On the internet, nobody knows if you're a heteronormative cismale fascist unless you tell them.

Status: there are 3 root words in lojban that currently do not have an English glossary entry: jegvo, jukni, and tirxu
-
it's always better to install it in a VM so you can cleanly uninstall it from the host system by pressing "delete"
No, that's what snapshots are for!
-
well yes, but delete VM works too. then clone from the base install vm you keep around for that purpose.

true...
one of these days I might play around with linked clones too...

Status: Attempted to upgrade my laptop to Windows 10. It helpfully destroyed something, and now GRUB can't load anything. Not fun. At least I don't actually care about the Linux install that was also on there.
-
Windows has never played nice with Linux in dual-boot.
-
Status: Wiped the laptop, installed the OEM version of Windows 7 from way back when, now attempting to upgrade to Windows 10. I really hope it doesn't force me to upgrade to Win8 first.

That is a pretty little girls' school.

Status: Designing product labels!
I'm I/C standards and compliance for the design team so I've been charged with designing the labels for some new hardware products. Inkscape is really nice to use and so far no-one has actually vomited when exposed to the results of my graphics design skills.
This is surprisingly fun

I am envious. I can do diagrams well enough, but my art skills really aren't…

Status:
/// <summary> /// Returns all widget types. /// </summary> /// <returns>A list of widget types.</returns> public List<WidgetType> GetAllWidgetTypes() { //get all widget types and return them return repository.WidgetTypes.GetAll() }
I fucking hate
JavaXMLwhateverDocs.

Also,
Status: apparently the power grid in Poland is currently shitting itself in the heat, so our AC might or might not get cut tomorrow during the business hours.
This is gonna be fun.
Status: It didn't. Jesus, it's fucking freezing in here.

Status: Come back to this topic after getting a bit of work done, you (and I) would think that reading from where I left off would be sensible. Discourse thinks otherwise, believing that starting from hundreds of messages earlier is far preferable. FUCK YOU DISCOURSE! FUCK YOU DISCOURSE! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! FUCK!
-
sorry, probably my fault for asking for a jeffing.....
which by the way, i think you missed one @boomzilla.

This post is deleted!

A couple of posts came in after the Jeffing had begun.
-
sorry, probably my fault for asking for a jeffing...
It's been happening to many different threads, even unJeffed ones, so I think this is just Discourse being a POS.
-
Yeah, jellypotato just requires entering a thread these days.
-
well it's our fault for using discourse wrong and having these super long topics!
-
This is where Jeff shows up with that damn Indian-with-a-tear photo.
-
-
close enough.

Status: We have the most genius IT in the universe. We have MSDN. I have VS 2015 Enterprise on it. I use it at home. I can't log in at work, so I have 9 days left on the trial. It cannot send the request for the login page. I don't think they ever fixed the fact that we couldn't log into a jetbrains account from VS. Until today, I was 'logged in' because I logged into the RC and installed the RTM on top, but it couldn't download the license.
Glad to see IT is on the ball, keeping everyone safe from doing work.

rindo, klaku
xindo, fenraboth of these pairs can be translated as
Indian, tear

Tell me... Did you ever kill a Lojban albatross?
-
giben that they're both gibberish to me, I choose to assume that they are respectively Romulan and Cardassian translations of those words.
because that's the awesomest thing to assume.

I didn't peg you for a reality TV sort of person.
-
i refuse to watch "Keeping up with the Kardashians*" (about that highly dysfunctional family) but i would watch the shit out of "Keeping up with the Cardassians**" (about that highly dysfunctional sapient species)
* Chrome wants to correct this to "Guardianship"
** Chrome wants to correct this to "Caucasians"
-
Dysfunctional? The Cardassian characters in Deep Space 9 are the only ones with the right outlook on life.

I can't log in at work, so I have 9 days left on the trial.
Why not?
You probably can log in with a Microsoft account, activate that way, and then switch to a domain account, if you're willing to do that.

Hey @accalia, can you post a "Do Not Want" meme for me?
-
because that's the awesomest thing to assume.
Since one of those languages wasn't Narn, I have to disagree.
-
i have just the one for you!
ahem on behalf of @polygeekery:
