Well you could try the normal Macallen 10 or 12. I'm currently going through a bottle of Glenlivet 12. Balvenie is a good brand.
There's like a million brands, you just need to go on a drink-tour and try them all. My problem is that I try them but don't take notes, so I can't remember which ones I like or not.

Cheers, I'll start there and keep some notes.

That's not a bad idea at all, I've been meaning to go back to Scotland as I only saw a little bit of it last year on business. A tasting tour would be great. I've done a few wine tasting tours before. For wine I've started keeping a book with labels and notes as I can't remember which ones I like most of the time either.

Well, 5 of them are abusive dirtbag moderators
Only one of those is counted in the 108. ;)
Edit: nevermind, those badges apparently stack.
-
Any quality bar will have 10-15 brands you can try a shot at a time. Can get pricy though.

I'm assuming you don't mean this:
http://www.lcbo.com/lcbo/product/the-macallan-m-highland-single-malt/354639
Since I'm guessing you aren't suggesting a $5000 bottle-- especially since it is literally the most expensive one the LCBO stocks.
Single malts, sort from high-to-low price:
http://www.lcbo.com/lcbo/catalog/scotch-single-malts/11086#contentBeginIndex=0&productBeginIndex=0&beginIndex=0&orderBy=4&categoryPath=spirits%2Fwhisky-whiskey%2Fscotch-single-malts&pageView=&resultType=products&orderByContent=&searchTerm=&facet=&storeId=10151&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&fromPage=&objectId=&requesttype=ajaxSo, if I went down that list, where's the sweet spot of "not shit" vs. "affordable". I'm running low on the bottle I have, and may want to invest in my next one. It'll probably last me at least a year, given how much I actually drink.

You are right. I must have been mistaken. When I typed "Macallen 10 or 12" what I actually meant was Macallan M.

Status: Just got invited to apply for a 100% work-from-home job. With a strong hint of, "unless I really fuck it up, it's a sure thing". From a guy I really respect.
Hm. I've never done work from home before and I'm kind of scared shitless. Well, we'll do the interview and see what happens I guess.
I'm actually kind of terrified of doing anything online under my real name, especially something that would reflect on my reputation like a full-time working position.
-

Do they use git?
Please say yes. Please say yes. Please say yes. Please say yes.

Status: Just found an edge case where my importer could put
\n\n
into a post. No data loss like the CS->Discourse import, but it made a lot of text really big.
-
Meh like I said months ago, I've pretty much resigned myself to having to work with Git for the rest of my days, which hopefully will be cut short by a heart attack or something similar.
-
Status: This is why I don't want to interface to someone else's API: They up and changed it and broke everything, and this is going to take hours to fix (despite the rather extremely small codebase my app is).
FFS what was wrong with the previous endpoint?!?!

108 people can change titles, of which probably 95-100 are inconsiderate assholes.

You should first catch `DehydrationException` to let your dwarven die of thirst. Did your compiler not give you warning about dead exception clause?

Thanks! I'm moving up!

Try Oban if you liked the smoky flavor.

Status: Last week something exploded inside a magnetic stirrer. Looked interesting: Yellow smoke crawling out of the underbelly of the stirrer like a snake and yet the poor stirrer kept on stirring.
My colleagues don't seem to have yet developed the mindset of a trained chemist as they were impressed by my calm reaction to that incident. No shrapnel, no open fire, so I didn't really see a reason to become excited
Today a power supply decided to call it quits. It was connected to a circuit which pulls single-digit milliAmps at the most, so it can't have been stress of work. And again with the smoke!
But at least this way we discovered that we really need to rethink our ventilation approach to the chemistry lab.
Then again, I didn't try to do the Thermite experiment indoors, unlike a colleague. Hint for the unknowing: Using a fume hood is a nice idea but you'll need to seal it tight with duck tape beforehand.

I'm fairly confident my blinding incompetence will generate more work down the line.Aha! I've created and assigned you more jiras
Aha! I convinced you to create the jiras instead of me.It's still more work for me but I feel I've gotten the better of this exchange
Worst case for you is that there is no more work for you.
-
No worries about dying then, unless by a design flaw DehydrationException is not an Exception .
Well,
Exception
might be in a different package (so afoo.bar.Exception
, not ajava.lang.Exception
) orDehydrationException
might be a subclass ofError
orThrowable
directly. Only the latter two cases would be , especially doing a direct subclass ofThrowable
.From the comments, converting it to a
DehydrationError
would probably be best. Those usually slaughter at least the thread, and often take the whole runtime with them on the grounds that there's really usually no sensible recovery strategy…

Status: Git's idiotic EOL conversion breaking things again. Stop changing my files, goddammit. Whoever thought it would be a good feature and that it should be enabled by default should seriously stop writing VCS code.

@RaceProUK had a rage-quit over something relatively trivial; I think real life must've been getting the hedgehog down and shortened the old temper rather too much. You might want to check with @accalia there how things are getting on.
I'm guessing that the other two are just busy.
-
Even being dead, I know that RaceProUK has recently ragequit again.
I think I saw loopback relatively recently.As for me, I only get to read during the compiling (and loading to hardware, and downloading parameters and...) nowadays, so I'm back to mostly lurking.

My work load has increased too so I don't get to read everything any more so I missed that. I only noticed she wasn't around as much and just thought she was busy. :( I hope @RaceProUK comes back again and we don't drive her off again.

Status: start a new contract, for which I will have to relocate, on Monday. Only just found out. I think the Fiendish Devil-Monkeys will put me up in a hotel or B&B for a while but I'm actually rather panicking about it.

Gee, it's almost as if that list doesn't have Macallen 10 or Macellen 12, just a bunch of other Macallens with other names, so I was asking for clarification because I obviously said that you obviously didn't maen that one.

Yeah but it wasn't as funny as the one about flagging for whooshes.

Status: "Distributed fucking map-reduce" was all I could think of while writing this ticket:
-
Is it ok to nest
find
s like that? I seem to recall that was a no-no, either because it didn't work or was a performance killer.That was many versions ago though.
-
It's not actually a nested find. The inner find returns an array of the IDs of the members of the group, which is used separately by the code.
-
Git = DiscoVCS?
I would not recommend assigning DiscoVCS to Git.
Sparks might eject...Yeah but it wasn't as funny as the one about flagging for whooshes.
You're thinking of @accalia methinks.
-
How well does that work when the amount of IDs exceeds available memory?
EDIT: Oh I misread you. I get what you're saying, as long as you're reading from a cursor, the memory impact should be a non-issue.
-
If the number of users in a group on your forum exceeds available memory, you'll have other problems long before that.
-
Yeah but that query can also be executed by like 47 threads simultaneously, each one of which would have the full list. I'm just trying to be forward-looking. Whatever. If it works, it works.

I dunno. I guess because my social anxiety is so incredible it even works against people I've never actually met.

Writing software and test automation in C# + WebAPI2 and Cassandra.

Would that be tied back to your name in a public fashion though? Or does it all come back to:
