Depends on the other residents of your apartment, really. IIRC, you have dogs, and no human females.
Well actually the house is down to one human female. Stepmom is the only one left after stepsister just went to college down the road...

So after the novelty wears off, you'd get to find out just how easy or hard it is to wash off chocolate from it. And for the next couple of days your dogs will try to find their way into the shower room to lick the floor.
It's not that hard, just gotta rub it for the most part, depends on the darkness I think.
Besides, why waste time putting shit on the floor?

"Neutered" is the correct term I think

Windshield replacement: less than 48 hours from first call to ready for pickup.
Police report about windshield damage: I have to wait 3 to 5 days just for them to call me back.
Why does everything government-run have to suck so much?

Should be "pants on foyer" if you want it to rhyme.
That depends on your accent.

@hungrier who pronounces it like that? Sounds weird to me.
I'm used to people pronouncing it Foy-yuh

That's the common way to pronounce it in Canada, based on the French pronunciation

@Mason_Wheeler We had a bug caught in our (currently in QA) build. Turns out the dev who wrote the scheduling package (to assign people to shifts) didn't remember to keep track of DST changes. Led to things like there being two Sundays next week.

That was our initial response--"feature, not bug". But yeah. When scheduling firefighters and other first-responders...

@circlesOfHell
does one fuck up datetime handling like this. I mean date and time handling is absurdly complex, but that sounds more wrong than just wrong.

It may have been that certain shifts that started/ended right around then got duplicated due to the time jumping back an hour. Dunno. Fortunately it's all in QA and only going to beta, not real production. At least for that system.
-
@Benjamin-Hall Actually thinking about it a bit more I can think of one way: representing Date with a DateTime and thinking next day starts 24 hours later. 2020-10-25¹ had 25 hours, so if you represented 2020-10-25 with 2020-10-25T00:00:00+02:00 (CEST), and added 24 hours, you'd end up with 2020-10-25T23:00:00+01:00 (CET) and stripping the time portion still gives 2020-10-25…

@Bulb I do know that there's non-trivial amounts of code that does
24*60*60
to create a time interval in seconds (since our timestamps are all UTC seconds)...

@Benjamin-Hall
We have a bug in production for several years where the DTS switch delays a triggered data stream for more then an hour. Said stream is HL7 ADT data. So it practically blocks patient Admission, Dismission and Transfer from the front-desk of a hospital between 2 and 3am.

(since our timestamps are all UTC seconds)...
Yeah, well, that's appropriate for things that are actually timestamps, that is time coordinates of events in the Earth reference frame. The problem is that calendar dates and wall clock times are not timestamps and require quite a bit of extra handling to convert to and from them.
… if the shifts are always 8 (or 12 or whatever) hours, and their starts shift with daylight saving time, using timestamps is fine. If the shifts start always at the same hour and there is a long shift in the fall and short shift in the spring, then localtime handling is needed instead…
-
@Bulb Yeah, well...first-responder shifts are weird. I've seen dozens of different types, not counting the one-offs. And that's only the ones that are common. Basically every department has their own definitions. Or does them ad-hoc.
For such a critical system/thing that needs doing, it's a rather messy business full of legacy stuff, things no one knows why they're there, but everything breaks if they aren't, etc. Just like banks, airlines, etc.

Have you ever read some book by Yuri Rytkheu? He grew up in Chukotka, the farthest east of the sovyet union, just on the other side of the bering street from alaska.
He told funny anecdotes on christian missionaries (from both russia and america) who failed to convince local people: when you live according to the christian religion, you are promised a cool place in the sky ("paradise"), but when you live a bad life, you are promised to stay in a place where always a warm fire is burning ("hell"). Since every chukchi had to suffer lots of cold during their life, they all clearly preferred hell...Just imagine: had the prophets been from chukotka instead of the deserts of near east, hell would be ice cold, while the paradise well heated...
