But if you do it often enough, you will be able to tell who fucked up by their reaction when they see you arrive wearing it. No need to even know what they fucked up, just that they did something that you can probably talk out of them pretty quickly by their guilty reaction when you arrived...

"Who pissed off @Arantor this time?"
I don't tend to give my enemies clues in advance.

FUCK! Somebody fuck up worse than me! Quickly!

We could compromise with Lucario.

SO much pink and sparkles!

Also, Teotihuacan on West Bellfort has wonderful Mexican food.

(This is what happens when browsing to the root of the app. Static files download just fine, so it's probably a code problem, but NFC where).

Does Yodel charge a fantasy fee?
I don't even know what Yodel is, except I assume a delivery company. Never Heard of it before today.

A terrible terrible delivery company in the UK. They are responsible for this magic...

Same here.

Status: Oops, forgot my debit card is defunct and bought a book on the Kindle store, now Amazon's sending me an angry email saying that they couldn't authorize payment (natch).
I hope they give me a few days grace before deleting the book.
EDIT: oh it looks like they give 30 days' grace:
Please go to the following page within 30 day(s) to make sure that the payment information for this order is correct:
Which is nice. Assuming they mean it, because the following paragraph says:
After we receive a valid payment method, you can re-download your Kindle Edition from the Content Manager on your Kindle or Kindle reading application, or from Manage Your Content and Devices on your computer.
Having to re-download it implies it got deleted from my device. Hm. Well, we'll see which is the case on my way home when I crack the Kindle open.

There's no here. I just wanted to post this screenshot somewhere before I forgot about it, so that I can promptly forget about it.

Status: It's raining — not hard in terms of the number of raindrops falling, but from the sound of them hitting my roof, each raindrop must be about a whole liter of water. It's very loud. (No, it's not hail.)

Look, if I'm drinking excessively British tea made with oil of toxic orange, why would you not expect such a thing?

Possibly expecting a slice of lemon instead of milk and sugar?

Status: Two phone screens today.
One went ok, maybe. Contract in the Phoenix area. I might have a shot at it — the call ran a little longer than scheduled, but then ended rather abruptly; that didn't leave me with a particularly good feeling.
The other only ran half as long as scheduled. I'm not too disappointed by that; it was for a lead, and I don't have any real experience as a lead (and don't really want the responsibility, although I'd take it if offered). I wasn't really well prepared with questions to ask the manager; of course, two minutes later I thought of the blindingly obvious: Tell me about the team I'd be leading. How many people? What levels of experience? Etc. Oh, well; it was a long shot, anyway.

Status: thrifty eating, day four
- Breakfast: Just a couple cheese sticks from the snack rack
- Lunch: Last of the roast beef in a sandwich
- Dinner: Basically exactly what I had on Monday, but I cooked the porkchop too long and it got dry. I did a potato because the only other side I have is a can of jambalaya soup, which would be weird with pork chops
Still no bank card.

FINAL EXAM
- Does P=NP?
- Is the real part of any non-trivial zero of the Riemann zeta function 1/2?
- Why isn't @morbiuswilters a @moderator?

This would be the best, but Nintendo will never do it:
Personally I'd prefer Rene Auberjonois, doing his gravel-y Odo voice.

Status: Just looked up T-Mobile's "binge on" thing they have commercials about.
Apparently it doesn't include YouTube or Twitch, even though they run a lot of ads about this thing there.
So it's entirely useless.
Also there's this commercial:

I feed on the pain of your exquisite disappointment!
-
Yup, its a thing. Never tried it myself, but that's more down to not really drinking earl grey, and preferring my tea black and unadulterated...

Turn off wifi before you do so. Leave it off until you get your new debit card.

Status: Just been informed by a customer that I have a conference call with a 'SAP Technology Evangelist' to discuss how our platform will integrate with our customers SAP system. I have a bad feeling about this...

Made this for dinner last night:
Added some garlic powder and grated parmesan to the crust (which was amazingly bread-like in texture). Was very good, will make again.

Status: so I just found this in the app.config file of an import service I'm going to be extending:
<add name="dbFile" (...) implementationType="Company.Project.ImportCore.Providers.DbImportProvider`1[[Company.Project.Core.BLC.Some.Business.Object, Company.Project.Core.BLC]], Company.Project.ImportCore" (...) />
...this is gonna hurt, isn't it.
Filed under: is that even defined behavior?

Your boss likes you and got you a little present? Or your boss hates you and volunteered you for an ios app development project?

Neither; I need to make sure a new website works right on iPads

That sounds like the best possible outcome which doesn't get you a free iPad...
