@mott555 There are beaches in Chicago.
Chicago is pretty far away, too.
And why would anyone willingly go to Chicago?

I've never been quite sure what the draw of a beach is when the water is constantly cold...but then again I turn lobster-red under any significant insolation, so beaches aren't really my thing.

The layer near the top of the lake with the beach under it gets quite warm in summer AIUI and IIRC. Yes, the deeper parts of the lake are always cold, but there's not so much mixing for that to be a major issue.

TIL. I'm in Florida and still don't go to the beach. Too many people there. And that whole sunlight thing. No thanks.
I'm a proud member of the melanin-challenged tribe (WACIST!); as a result nature rejects me. All the plants are trying to kill me and I burn in the sunlight. Par for the course when you're a soulless monster like myself.

I don't like water much since I don't really know how to swim, probably because of how far away any significant bodies of water are.
I guess I could swim in the Missouri River but that sounds unsafe. I could also swim in the Platte River but it's only two inches deep. On the other hand, I probably wouldn't drown there.
-
We have this thing called 'pool' specifically designed to swim in, free of dangers (other then drowning), would recommend 9/10 would swim again

I'm a clean freak. I don't like wading in other people's urine.

1cm of water is enough to drown in, if you fall unconscious for some other reason.

Oh yes, they somehow got away with that on TV (probably by showing it after the watershed I guess).

Status: Gotta select 5 recovery questions from a list, as part of a company-mandated laptop encryption requirement. I can't even find 5 questions in the list that apply to me, and my normal scheme of generating answers with KeePass won't work because if I need it, then I can't access KeePass on the laptop.
EDIT: Some of the possible questions:
- Who did you dance with at your high school homecoming? (I never went to homecoming)
- What was your favorite beach as a child? (I live in the Midwest. The nearest ocean is light-years away.)
- What was the name of your pet rock as a toddler? (I don't recall much about being a toddler.)
- Who is the most under-rated cricket player of the 1950's? (Um, I have never followed any sports, much less cricket, and that's decades before I was born.)
- What's the name of a performer who reminds you of the time you met your property manager? (Okay...really...seriously...wtf...who comes up with these?)
That's the kind of ridiculous stuff that gets on the front page. This one just isn't funny.
-
@sockpuppet7 Tell me about it. It's like a fucking disease. I ve read docs where there is a tutorial with a few code files with accurate instructions and in two mins it all goes chaotic where nobody tells you where to put a code snippet in. Things stop making sense very soon. This has put me off from avoiding so many languages. The Java docs from what little I've browsed were shit 4 years back. On this front, Angular has amazing docs.

@stillwater For some stuff it's worth getting a book or online training or whatever written by a 3rd party.

We have people to take WTFs and make them funny. Often, the original submission for the front page is nothing more than a code snippet; the entire story of how that snippet came into existence and the trouble it caused is embellishment by one of our authors.

decides he wants a Trello-like board but wants to self-host*
**downloads Wekan and creates a new MySQL database while it's downloading**
Excerpt of Wekan file listing:
server/ app.env app.json docker-compose.yml Dockerfile README settings.json [...]
Oh, fuck me. OF COURSE there's no chance this'll integrate into my existing infrastructure. OF COURSE the README has no installation instructions. OF COURSE I'll have to containerize it then fucking proxy through to it. This type of application SUCKS for self-hosting. Gone are the days when I could create a database, upload a bunch of PHP files, edit the config, and go. This shit gives me LESS visibility into everything that's going on in my server.

Status: Un-fucking-believable.
So I stayed to do some stuff after work. It kinda dragged on. Left for home at like 20:15. I'm hungry as shit and I know there's nothing decent left in the fridge. So, fuck it, I'll stop in a store and get a ready meal or something, too tired to cook.
All stores are closed. Because of a football game.
STORES ARE CLOSED BECAUSE OF A FOOTBALL GAME TAKING PLACE HALF WAY ACROSS THE FUCKING CONTINENT!
I tried a store that closes at midnight, a store that closes at 23:00, and a store that closes at 21:00. All closed at 19:30. Great, awesome, I can't buy food because 11 doofooses are chasing a ball across a grassy field somewhere in Russia.
At least pizza places are open. Jesus fuck.

Not always. Still, hungry.

Not a thing here, no. The one next to me is actually making a BBQ it seems, since you know, it's an event, but fuck that, the people in there are annoying me even as I'm sitting in my room. They found one of those ancient wind-up sirens somewhere and are killing the poor thing as I'm typing this.
Also, fucking hell, 1-1 now, if they get to finals the country will go fucking mental. Fuck help me.

Moot point after all. After rebooting after installing Visual Studio, the system BSOD's during boot. Safe Mode BSOD's. Recovery partition BSOD's. Half the options in the HP Diagnostics thingy in the BIOS are either grayed out or crash if I try to use them. Windows Repair CD thingy can't find anything wrong with the system. At this point the only part of this laptop that works is the encryption login screen after the POST.

@stillwater The JLS is quite clear, and the javadocs are all present for the out of the box APIs, I don't see what the issue is.

If you want to deploy that one properly you'll need Node, though, and MongoDB.

Hmm. I'm guessing NIC failure. I got an OS re-installed from a plain-old Win10 disc, and even though an Intel NIC shows up in Device Manager (with no drivers) the Intel driver installer fails because "No Intel(R) Adapters are present in this computer."

Nooo, thank you. I'd much rather go the container route than have those things installed on the bare metal. My server doesn't deserve that. :X

Just because you wrap your server in a condom before subjecting it to Node and Mongo, doesn't mean you're still not forcing it to sleep with those skanks...
