You have obviously never had to take care of kids with a hangover. There is no party in the world worth that experience. None. You could fill the SuperDome with hookers and put a mountain of cocaine inside it and not even that would be worth it.

Also, recently I have been having major issues with my phone not making it through the day. I have had the battery be dead by noon before. So I decided to look for a battery case.
Hmmmmm, the ZeroLemon cases get good reviews. Large battery capacity. It even has a charging port so I could in theory charge something else from my phone case if I needed to (like when my wife forgets to charge her phone, etc.). It seemed like a good idea.
So I get it today. Holy shit, this thing is heavy. I may need suspenders to carry this thing in my pants. ()
I really should have went with a lighter option.
Or, I should have not bought a phone that I could not change the battery on.

@Lorne-Kates Do you know there's a PVP Op at 2:30?
<context>
We were trolling an alliance member yesterday who was asking how he could farm ISK for a Supercapital when he apparently has 0 good skills even though he has like 60m skillpoints. He was told halfway through how to when a newbro came in, but he started unironically getting triggered whenever anyone told him there was a PVP Op at 2:30

"All of those"? It's a link directly to the table for CSS Animations. And it's almost entirely green which means supported. The vast majority of browsers support Animations and Transitions, and they are consistent enough to cover color-fade-on-hover and even image carousels without any issue i've seen thus far.

No idea. It's also not letting me log in using RDP, which may or may not have anything to do with this (Basically, error is "Unable to reconnect to your session", but I don't have a session, at least, not one that is actually starting).

No, this is a machine named
BOBTHEBUILDER
(no joke) who builds our game client. It's also the machine that everyone pulls said build from, a 30 GB (packaged!) set of files.It's not fun when 30 PCs all try grabbing files off it.
BTW, anyone know a stronger multicasting program capable of not destroying the network despite maxing out at 95 Mbps? I'm using
uftp
, but it has.... issues.

What? Wake them up early and then yell at them. Then make fun of them the rest of the day.
That should teach them to be more responsible.

@loopback0 I would leave it behind, or forget to charge it, or any other number of things.
Mostly though, it would either be uncharged or left in the office. With the battery case it is always there and much more likely to be charged.

STATUS I took the cowardly way out.
So my resignation was finally taken serious when I hijacked a misery room for two hours for a telephone interview. 10% percent disloyalty increase was promptly offered and just as promptly rejected. I can get 20% more by migrating into the city if the recruiters are to be believed. What happened next was rather unseemly. My newly promoted manager (formally a senior developer, my current boy crush and he's also unhappy with his current role) put on his skimpiest lilac dress, displayed his wares and prostituted himself. Sadly this won me over to the end of the quarter. Not wanting him to believe that emotional blackmail won me over I kept quiet and lo and behold a 15% disloyalty discount was offered. This being the path of least resistance I naturally took it and ran but I sense that more problems are abound.

Thanks for the tip. If anything I suspect that the outsourced team I replaced is about to be reengaged. I'll keep an eye out for interesting jobs. Unfortunately I'm in a bind at the moment. Most of the jobs I looked at require experience in Spring. Our next high priority projects require it so that would give me something nice to put on my C.V. Hopefully at the end of the quarter I'll only be six months behind the job market instead of ten years with my current stack.

Knock together something in your off time that uses Spring. Bam, Spring experience. Don't rely on your job to provide you that experience, especially if they may be getting rid of you soon. Why would they spend money to have you learn something if they'll be sending you packing?
