Status: pondering if there would be a deniable way to get a bunch of these with a Discourse logo on them, to ship to a certain dev team
Without clicking on the link, I'll assume "these" are purple dildos.
They're also counting to potato in this report.
What about jellypotatoes?

Without clicking on the link, I can still assure you that this is one of the few cases in which it is better.

and RR is pretty much always what gets reported
Relative risk there appears to be between 400% and 500%.

Status: Just stared into a cesspool of poorly-implemented code from eons ago. I saw monsters. Real-life, terrifying, man-eating monsters stared back at me from that 5000+ LOC ball of moldy spaghetti. Some of the spaghetti might be electrified baling wire. Some of it might have been strands ripped from my own soul.
I looked up the equivalent code in one of our much newer, saner products, and it was only 260 LOC there.
Oh, it's even worse than I thought! There are C files including other C files that are not part of the Visual Studio project! It's more like 8000 - 9000 LOC, not 5000!

We're 400-500 percent more likely to get more of something with incest. Lets do incest!

You're 100% more likely to get to fuck a relative with incest than without.

I'm confused now. Who was reporting that? I was just eyeballing that graph and pointing out that the RR was really high. 200% is the number at which things start getting interesting and worth looking into.

Status: Going on a field trip with my son's daycare class. On a school bus, headed to the pumpkin patch.
I was a lot skinnier the last time I walked down the aisle on a school bus.
That was a lot of fun, I am glad I went. The teachers all said that I was the first dad to ever go along in all the years they have been working there.
Little tip: When on a field trip, don't get out your pocket knife and cut up your kid's apple. You will have to cut up 25 more apples, and your hand will cramp. Severely.

headed to the pumpkin patch
Awww that was nice. Reminds me of the time my Dad brought me back to the cabbage patch(that's where Irish children come from) and tried to return me.

The people talking about the risk of genetic defect/death being 39.4% higher for first-degree incestuous relationships than the general population.

Can we have a dislike or even a hide this idiot button?

Where was the link where that was actually said? I couldn't find anything like that looking around the link to the post you provided, aside from the graph. And like I said, I converted that to RR, which is really high.
I'm not sure I've seen a nutritional study that didn't report in terms of RR.

That article mentioned absolute risk a lot, as I recall, and the original 4-study survey I was referring to was reported in terms of absolute risk on another website I linked slightly earlier in that thread.

Now that I can't argue with, as I'm not sure I've seen any nutritional studies that reported AR either. I may have, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

OK. I just couldn't find any numbers aside from that graph in any of the links I followed. And the RR from that graph was very large. Though I shouldn't have been referring to RR as a %, I suppose.

Lucky. My cow orker left for the week, after leaving us some code he wrote on Friday, which is a large class with ten or so child classes with verb names, which are typically just constructed with a method immediately called on them, and never saved into variables anywhere.
This is to handle commands from different parts of things. Everyone who sees the code s immediately.
-
the normal risk is 1 in 750,000; a 15% increase in that is nothing.
1 in 650,000 — roughly.
-
I just ass-pulled figures; I didn't even know there was an article
-
What article? I just calculated a 15% increase from your stated P = 1/750000 = 1.333E-6.
-
Sounds like a skeleton (I.e. an incomplete implementation of a completed design) for a functor on the base class.
-
Oh. In that case… yay maths?
-
yay maths?
I was just curious whether a 15% increase was really "nothing." P = 1.53E-6 vs. 1.33E-6.

Status: Phone interview in about two and a half hours. I really want this job. I've applied repeatedly to this company in the past, without ever hearing anything in response. This time, I got a request for a phone interview the day I applied. (If it's because an ex-colleague got my resume into the hands of the right person, I'll definitely owe him a nice dinner if I get the job.) It's a good fit for my skills. I've heard it may not be the greatest company to work for, but they make really good products, and I've changed jobs in the past for the chance to work on the type of products they make. The only downside is that it would mean relocating back to Silicon Valley, but if I have to relocate for a job, that's at the very top of the list.

sane
Asterisk
Whoa now, I know you're upset, but let's not get crazy here!
-
Well... shit :-\
-
I contend that you also would consider Asterisk to be completely sane if you ever had to deal with pulling a SIP trace from a "PSTN trunk" (their term, not mine) within SfB server.
I'd call SfB the Discourse of phone systems, but it would actually be a grevious insult to Discourse.
Filed under: Oh you thought you could use our GUI?
-
I'm only just slightly trolling. Yes, there's plenty of stupid in it at times, but I don't hate it from the PBX side of things, really.
Now, interfacing with the damned thing, that's a different bag of tricks.

Around that time I had to hard reset my computer at work to get it running again. Luckily, it rebooted almost normally and continued to reboot to complete the Windows updates.
Filed under: No, I don't want to know what would've happened if I wouldn't have had a complete restore-from-scratch set handy.

Status: opening a bottle of Mont des Cats with the intention of finishing the whole damn thing. tastes Ahhhh. Not the best Abbey ale by any stretch of the imagination, but hey, the French are just getting the hang of this sort of thing again after 108 years. Not bad at all.
And yeah, one 750mL bottle of a mere 7.6% ABV ale will pretty much leave me toasted. Don't even ask about hard liquor, it gets ugly.

Thank you, it should point to RateBeer now.

Looks amazing! but that is 79£ (160$) too expensive for any beer

Meh. I've had better interviews; I've had worse. I'm just hoping I did well enough to get a real interview. I don't think I've ever been asked Fibonacci in an interview before, though.
-
Wish you luck. Here's to hoping.
-

In general, you can figure 1.6 £ per dollar, so $122 in this case. Current exchange rate is 1.55£ per dollar.
-
Also, where the hell did you get that price???

the link was to this: http://www.thebelgianbeercompany.com/british-and-world-beers/french-beers/montdescats
-
Current exchange rate is 1.55£ per dollar.
Unless there's been a radical change in the currency market that I'm not aware of, you got that backwards. It should be $1.55 == 1£.
-
Probably here. However, that's the price for a case.
-
yup much better now, cheers

Status: Fucking plastic piece of shit.
Have a Halloween animated prop that isn't working. Open for inspection, there's one plastic gear that's broken, and I only have half of it. None of the gears I do have are the right size, or number of teeth, or the right bore. The closest I have is a plastic gear, but the hole is round and the mount for the gear is square-- so once it meets resistance, it just spins.
Anyone out there with a 3d printer want to print me up a gear that's 20mm diameter, 4mm square bore, 10mm thick, and has 20 teeth (2 teeth in a row missing to allow for release-- though I can always file those away)-- would appear the teeth are about 3mm apart at the tips?
