@DogsB I feel that something went wrong.

@mott555 At least my version of Firefox shows broken image icons properly.

I always wanted to be a fire engine but when I grew up it was crushed by reality and so I became an incompetent software engineer.
Ah, so you work on the Tesla Autopilot object identification component?

@pie_flavor said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
@topspin I'm planning on staying up until 1 today, unless I wan't to ruin my English grade. 1 PM, that is.
Doing good so far, and holy fuck do hand bones hurt after typing 2667 words in a row. Professors that assign six page essays are bad and should feel bad.

@pie_flavor
I mean, that was only one page per ${LONG_TIME_INTERVAL} when it was first assigned. It's not the professor's fault if the student waits until hours before class to start composing.

I'm actually a crash dummy. If I survive three I get a helmet!

@izzion It didn't suck as bad as it could have, since I was able to essentially just reword my speech from the other day into the first third of the essay, since they're both on copyright.
-
@pie_flavor Hooray. An hour and a half before class.

@pie_flavor What are we looking at?

A draft of the uncut edition of the Princess Bride.

@JBert The essay, minus the orientation tag I took the photo with, in what I assume is the printer's idea of a joke.

Aww, diddums! I take it you're not planning to go into research then. Or applying for grants.

@DogsB I recognized the south island before I scrolled down enough to see the web address. #notallamericans

I've always wanted to be a real person. So far, I seem to be partially successful.

Sleep deprivation is already helping you with that.

It should be a double apostrophe, wan'''t. "wan'" is the Scottish way of saying want. I wan' to go to the store. To say "I want not to ruin my English grade" is "I wan''t to ruin my English grade. So the whole phrase is equivalent to, "if I don't want to ruin my English grade".

As a Java programmer I have no sympathy whatsoever.

You've managed the mantissa but are still working on the exponent?

Correct.

@pie_flavor said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
Correct.
More seriously, six pages is not a large document. There's a fair chance you'll have to write a lot more in your career. You were probably sitting in a position that was forcing part of your arms or shoulder to be at the wrong angle; it's easily done, but it results in you really aching after a while. If you can arrange things so that everything is right, you should end up with your feet flat on the floor, your knees at right angles, your shoulders naturally down (not slumped, just comfortably held), your elbows close to a right angle too, your lower arms approximately horizontal, and your wrists straight while having your fingers able to type.
It's basically the same position that you're supposed to be in to play the piano comfortably (if you know that). It may seem uncomfortable to start with, but it really is the best one longer-term.

@DogsB That account is hilarious!

Dude, you've got a lot to learn. Use the printers in college, they actually work.
Filed under: Ranting about printers, my favorite subject!

I am so glad that I found a career where I don't have to write documents. Not because of the typing. I type a lot just around here, let alone coding and telling people that I can't reproduce their bug reports at work.

Start with your hand over the display for the hamsters at the store, wait for an employee to come by, pull your hand back from the top holding the bread, and eat it real quick and then run.

I'm sure the English teacher will not be amused with Scottish...

For the one on the right, the eyebrows are far too low. They ought to be plucked and then rewritten on half-way up the forehead.

Are you sure you can't fit seven more in there? Then you could say that your essay is just too leet.

If you were a kid growing up in Phoenix any time from 1954-89, this is the sort of thing local TV had for your entertainment:

I use google as a spell check frequently. This is not quite what I was looking for but I'm quite pleased with the result.

Just the headline really. I'm such a child. :)
