Boeing doesn't make "airplanes".
Boeing makes airliners.
{airliners} ⊂ {airplanes} ∴ "Boeing makes airliners" ⊢ "Boeing makes airplanes"
-
Don't they also make drones? Are those airplanes or are they pastrami with potato salad?
-
Even if they're not, by some definition, it does not change the conclusion above. If they make any kind of airplanes, they make airplanes, even if they also make not-airplanes.
pastrami with potato salad
Thanks. Now I'm hungry. It's a little too early for dinner, and, although I have a couple of potatoes, I lack the other ingredients to make potato salad.

I Googled your error message and got this:
By default
git revert
refuses to revert a merge commit as what that actually means is ambiguous. I presume that yourHEAD
is in fact a merge commit.If you want to revert the merge commit, you have to specify which parent of the merge you want to consider to be the main trunk, i.e. what you want to revert to.
Often this will be parent number one, for example if you were on
master
and didgit merge unwanted
and then decided to revert the merge ofunwanted
. The first parent would be your pre-mergemaster
branch and the second parent would be the tip ofunwanted
.In this case you could do:
git revert -m 1 HEAD

I answer that question this way.
"I work all day pressing buttons to make patterns of light change into more pleasing and functional forms, it is a small task, but an unceasing one. Lo! I am even doing it now, but i am cursed, for the patterns will never e perfect, always there is some flaw in the fabric of the pattern that eludes my gaze, that twists my work, that prevents me from attaining perfection! but still i must carry on for if i did not there would be only the chaos of the lights! I hope only that one day i may achieve enlightenment and be released from this task!"
invariably this leads the asker to have a desire to wander away, occasionally i've been lucky to have one of the askers friends ask me if I'm alright. If they're cute i'll tell them "Just fine, thanks for asking. can i buy you a drink?"

200: OK

okay.... i have to ask.....
why pinkie pi?
-
Literally just randomly walked onto my screen as I was taking the screen clipping, and didn't feel mean enough to refuse her appearance.
-
...... you have my attention and interest.
but at the risk of repeating myself...... why?
-
I think we have reached the point in the conversation where we are both confused to the same level of confusion.
For instance, the current response queue I have answers the questions:
Why did Pinkie Pie appear on my screen under the screenshot selection box as I was snapping it? :- Perhaps she wanted to giggle at the error message as I tried to post something less than 10char?
Why did I not feel mean enough to refuse her appearance? - Because I'm usually not that mean spirited and spiteful enough to spend time re-taking the snap
Why is Pinkie Pie even on my desktop to be capable of performing such magical feats? - Even I don't know the answer to that. I think the generally accepted answer is "Because Pinkie."
- Perhaps she wanted to giggle at the error message as I tried to post something less than 10char?

that was the general thrust of my question yes.
I assume she is an AMOR, yes?
-
Well if you want to dispel the Magic, yes.
She, along with two Changelings, Ditzy, and Luna help stave off the depression when work starts getting too much.Thanks for the link! Now I can program them into my *nix machines! Totally forgot little Neko, she hasn't functioned properly since Windows XP...

I explained what a hamburger menu looks like and that the options menu was labeled "options" in the hamburger menu.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
Don't use that.
Who'd use that?
What's wrong with humanity?You enable the menu bar first and then go to Tools => Options.
-
Do you really expect me to be able to explain to my dad what an Alt key is?
-
Right click on the tab bar => ✓ Menu Bar
No Alt involved.
-
So instead of clicking on two unintuitively laid out things, you want him to click on four unintuitively laid out things, with the extra condition that one of the clicks uses a different mouse button and will open Yahoo if he doesn't?
-
unintuitively laid out
It's a normal menu bar.
You know, like the ones that Word and Excel and Powerpoint used to have ...
-
and will open Yahoo if he doesn't?
Because of course it will.
Goddamn I am glad my dad never uses a computer.

We all do.
Just yesterday I was watching a video on Youtube where some crazy Canadian bastard was doing a tool review. In the middle of filming you hear the notification bong of Windows and then he goes off on a cursing tirade about constant Java updates. It must have lasted 2-3 minutes.
Fuck. Why didn't I post that?

What, this didn't tip you off that I knew what you were talking about? A legendary Guild Wars 2 weapon that fires ponies with arse tattoos?

This is something that should not exist. Not even in video games.

Wedding guest wandered over for a chat. Gets to:

A simple like is not enough to express my agreement and appreciation for your comment, so have a random unicode character: 弫

If you do anything remotely computer related, it goes too often like this:
- What do you do for work?
- I'm a software developer.
- Software? Doesn't that have something to do with computers?
- Yes, of course.

Isn't it a pity that unicorns are nearly extinct?
No wonder - their horns are believed to be potency enhancing.
If you ask for photographs - there are several on wikimedia.org. Here is a photograph of a unicorn head fixed to a wall mount; the animal was "shot in Perak on the Malay Peninsula", as the wikipedia article states.
Edit: The explanation of the ultimate source of unicorn legends that seems most likely to me, is that the troops of Alexander the Great had some (probably very unpleasant) encounters with some nervous and aggressive male specimen of [spoiler]rhinoceros [/spoiler]unicorn[spoiler]is[/spoiler] in India.

Do you have a minute? My internet is broken...
As an EE I always get 'can you fix my X?' Where X is a household appliance. If I'm lucky it's even got electronics in it...had to fix a toaster once.

nervous and aggressive
Well, wouldn't you be if some freak of nature placed a giant dildo between your eyes and then made 1Bn randy chinese fornicators come hunt for it?

STATUS: Still into the neverending "Secret that could ruin your life" reddit thread. From a serial public mastrubator:
i pull my dick through the fly of my jeans and cover it with my shirt or sweatshirt. While i look at clothes or whatever, ill just wank it until im hard. Then i start flashing. Then i AM noticed but i've learned to pick who i show.
Ok to flash: 2 or more highschool/college age girls together. 1 slutty looking girl. unhappy looking girl with her mother. anyone foreign. Can't really explain but sometimes i just KNOW if shes the type to run away and call security.
NOT ok to flash: Daughter and dad. Lone shy looking girls. Black girls. (they wont call security but they'll cause a scene) highschool/college girls with boyfriends or boys in general. Angry looking women.
Some useful advice there...

Do you really expect me to be able to explain to my dad what an Alt key is?
Since it normally has the letters T, L, and A on it in an order that reads 'Alt', I would say yes.

I know, right? Everyone knows her name is really Derpy.

Boeing doesn't make "airplanes".
Boeing makes airliners. The best in the world.
Also lots of missiles.
Neither airliner nor missile:

Wait, was that

But still the best in the world.

No it was not.
Even in my first review ages ago, I said ESO had a pretty good sense of humor.
