Status: Enjoying the tears of Cruz, his supporters, and the Never Trumpers. Deeeeeeee-licious. Not that I'm saying that Trump is the Second Coming of Our Lord and Savior, mind - but the Republican establishment has needed its balls kicked repeatedly and fiercely for several decades now, and Trump has been delivering.
Funniest tweet I saw that I won't bother finding again cuz reasons:
"Cruz should have been forced to carry his nonviable campaign to full term"
I would add "And be forced to watch 100 hours of victory speeches in order to make an informed decision"

When the local TRANSIT system is making constant "May the Fourth" jokes on Twitter, you know a meme is truly and entirely stone-dead.
KEEP CALM

Beat that dead meme

@Lorne-Kates I'd think that Trump would be quite happy to deliver 100 hours of victory utterances.

@accalia Presumably there'll be the inevitable adaptation, The "The Game" Game: The Movie
And then The "The Game" Game: The Movie: The Novelisation
I know what I'm adapting for radio next April 1st...

What about today? Revenge of the Fifth?

@blakeyrat following that link I found that we're not using the "stable" release of nodebb.
what is it with this forum that is always using the unstable version of everything?

I thought it was revenge of the sixth?

Messing around with avatars. This one does not look good in chat. EDIT: Or in posts.
Whatever, leaving it for now.

STATUS:
Boss: OMG, we have this big product presentation scheduled for Monday, and we are only halfway done. Cartman, you need to get on this ASAP. Oh, wait, there are bugs on this other major project, we need to fix that too. But I need the only frontend guy on my presentation RIGHT NOW. OMG! (hyperventilating).
Me: Don't worry boss, I'm on it. As soon as I finish typing these huge rants on WTDWTF.

<!-- Just... don't question it, I don't know either, it works this way, blame the DOM and move along -->
Stupid inside
Before anyone thinks I'm bitching about CSS: it's template rendering and hacking around JS putting nodes in the wrong place by adding unclosed comment sections.What? No, don't blame me for the headache, I warned you!

STATUS befuddled.
Some wag put a sticker on my monitor and it took me two minutes to realize it wasn't a big clump of dead pixels...
-
@DogsB my boss tried to troll me that way once, added a sticker on his screen next to our webapp logo thing in the header and asked why I changed it.

Cold unfeeling keys
Maybe that cat needs a mechanical keyboard
it might not solve the writers block, but that cat will have a lot more fun typing on a mechanical keyboard!

@accalia said in The Official Status Thread:

It will, because then the cat can go and write posts telling anyone who doesn't have one they're

/shrug it would still be less pants poopingly terrifying than a Clinton and/or Trump cat.

@aliceif On Internet, no one knows you're a cat!
Offtopic: a friend's cat is called Pixel.

@Luhmann I dunno, I know it sounds horrible but sometimes I wished it were... the damned cat sat in the corner the whole day, but the MOMENT we started playing a board game it felt this sudden urge to run across the table and knock everything over!
Freaking Catzilla attacks.
Filed under: No, I didn't harm the cat, in case anyone comes to that conclusion

@Onyx Sounds like the cat implemented remediation procedures for the
E_NO_ATTENTION_TO_ME
error that you caused.

Standard cat behavior. They sense their presence is not appreciate and immediately troll you.

@izzion I'd agree if it didn't run away every time someone tried to pet it or even look in its general direction.

Status: Wondering why I have to CTRL-F5 NodeBB before I'm allowed to post.

@mott555 Maybe there was an update? Strange there was no toaster or anything...

So it's a thin skinned troll then. "I have made my presence felt and now I'll shall retreat to my bridge. No don't rebut what I just said! Leave me alone."

It happens to me sometimes as well. Reply, Quote and Submit buttons just stop working until you do a refresh. Sometimes the refresh goes to some weird anchor mode where clicking on things just jellypotatoes you up the page, then you need a ctrl+f5
-
@Jaloopa Maybe related to @fbmac's experience with a dodgy connecting getting things out of sync somehow. Possibly check the javascript console next time it happens to see if there's been some error?
-
@Jaloopa said in The Official Status Thread:

I assume that happens to everybody. I've seen it at least 3 times.
Since there's no spinner it's hard to verify, but I think it's the JS getting "stuck" waiting on an AJAX request that'll never return. It doesn't seem like they coded in timeouts on any of their API calls, AFAICT. (And spinners only exist for a few types-- the "Submit" button on the editor doesn't produce one.)
Since this forum back-end reboots constantly according to Ben L, it's likely a reboot could happen during a post or edit and cause this hypothetical problem.
But I'm too lazy to actually debug it in reality.
-
@boomzilla I checked the JS console and didn't see anything. (It doesn't help that the JS network console won't show WebSocket requests.)

Status: Can someone please tell me when I click unread, 10% of the time this happens:

status Just created a new XP-sp3 vm for testing porpoises. Apply updates. Check. More. Apply updates. Check. More. Fuck. WILL IT NEVER END???

@dcon said in The Official Status Thread:

Why, yes. When you get the "update" that puts a nag program to kill your computer because it's running XP.

Nah... Got that. Had a 'shut up' box on it. Couldn't run the 'Windows Update' item until after it applied a first set of updates. I think I'm now on scan/install cycle #8.
