... only visually, I would assume.

@heterodox I hope so :P

In fact, even visually melatonin is usually 3-10 mg (I.e., tiny) and caffeine pills are 100-150 mg. So WTF?

@heterodox said in The Official Status Thread:
caffeine pills are 100-150 mg
The ones I've bought before are 50mg.
-
@heterodox They're 2mg capsules but they're pretty big. I guess it's cheaper to add maltodextrin filler than to buy smaller capsules.
Status: Firefox wants me to correct "maltodextrin" to "extramarital".

@anotherusername said in The Official Status Thread:
my wife should've had them all pay her cash up-front before we even paid the deposit for the party.
This. People are less willing to fall through when they've invested.
That, and if they did want to back out, they could split whatever we got back when we got the deposit back. So if less than 10 people ended up going, we wouldn't have to buy the unused tickets -- the people who backed out would end up splitting it.
edit: it was $40/person... so yeah, having to pay for three no-shows kinda sucks.

Sitting on the toilet. People are having an animated discussion about how endianness differences prevent them using Oracle's backup and restore feature to migrate between an ancient Sparc Solaris instance and a new Linux instance.
How the fuck, Oracle.

We know they're Discourse customers, so maybe their phones run an IoT distributed server stack to host that on. No less sane than paying for it.

Additional status: Why do I have a phone by my desk?
The phone on my desk in the office exists to be forwarded to my work cell.
The phone on my desk on the client site exists... well, I can't forward it so presumably it just exists to store voicemail intended for the ISSO who used to have that number (I don't even know the voicemail PIN, so those messages just reside forever in the ether).
There's something very Zen about that.
