The minor rants thread.

That's OK, we'll hold 1 May on 4 May. Problem solved.

Time to "Reply All"?
No, the only addresses in the message are the individual recipient (yourself), the corporate all-company distribution list as sender, and any individuals who were explicitly CCd. The distribution list has some kind of filter/approval process to keep people from sending random junk to it. Notices of office closures are routinely sent to everyone; it seems like hardly a week goes by without notice of one office or another somewhere in the world being on holiday, but we normally get only one notice for each office.

I'm sorry, but you need to send that additionally as PDF and DOCX attachments, together with the full history of the chain of communications.

I hate video tutorials so much.
I can read. Give me some fucking text you moron.

I hate video tutorials so much.
My most-viewed video is a tutorial of how to set up Portal 2 to play its co-op by yourself, using a key press to switch control between players. (Co-op with friends is great, but I also recommend "solo co-op"; it's pretty fun.)I can read. Give me some fucking text you moron.
It's a series of like 5 console commands or something. But in a thread on the Steam forums with those, someone requested it. I have no idea why they did, but they did, and I posted it. (I do have the commands in the description though.)
One thing I will say is that I can barely watch videos at normal speed now; I almost always turn it up to 1.25 or 1.5x. (I try for 1.5x, but sometimes it's not intelligible enough. 2x occasionally, but rarely, works.)

I'm not disagreeing with you but I recently needed to learn to tie a Double Windsor knot. Saying that, the video tutorials were pretty useless and I needed a guy at work to teach me.
Not sure what I'm saying.

Minor rant. We have gone from having dress down Friday to mandatory every-day-is-"tie ready shirt"-day. I don't actually care that much but it does mean I have to iron an extra shirt. It also means I can't get away with a corporate polo shirt day either.

Consider the new dress code an opportunity. There are 85 ways to tie a necktie. Learn them all, learn the taxonomy and the names of each knot (NB: there's no such thing as a"Double Windsor"; not unless you have two necks). Become a guru around the workplace!

I cycle to work and have to carry my clothes in a pannier so the key for me is a handful of ties that go with anything.
I am uni-necked so must have meant a Windsor. TIL tie notation but I think I must have gotten confused as half way through the Cavendish I ended up castling on the Queen's side.

TIL that the way I have tied my ties for 50-ish years doesn't have a name. (It probably does, but it's not one of the dozen-ish named knots shown at http://www.ties.com/how-to-tie-a-tie, and I don't have the book of 85.) It's almost a Windsor, but skipping steps 6 and 7, as labeled on that page. I thought it was a Half-Windsor, but that starts out more like a Four-in-Hand.
Although their instructions for tying a bow tie are correct, the picture on the intro page is clearly pre-tied. Either that, or somebody spent an entire month tying and re-tying it just for that picture.

Ties are stupid.

to quote a former coworker: "The only way you're going to get a tie on me is as a cadaver"

I'm of the firm opinion that ties were invented by a quick-to-anger king who wanted his subjects to provide a means by which he could hang them on a whim.

I like your idea better ;)Also:
International Necktie Day is celebrated
Is there anything that doesn't have a day dedicated to it?
-

I tie my ties like that. never knew it was supposed to have a name

High-quality software development?

The modern necktie spread by Europe traces back to the time of the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) when Croatian mercenaries from the Croatian Military Frontier...
Ah, so it's @Onyx's fault then?

I've been apologizing for months now, in advance!

So you have

Humidity? Phase of the moon? Number of pieces of lint in Jeff's pocket today?

Is it this one?

Is it this one?
Maybe when I was his age. Maybe. I'm guessing that was probably about the age I learned to tie my own.

That dump I flushed down the john this morning.
But that's about it.

I want to do something on August 20th just so someone will tell me "this just isn't your day" and I can answer "actually, today is my day".
-
International Asshole Day?
-
Is there anything that doesn't have a day dedicated to it?
I suggest we dedicate a day to things that have no day dedicated to them.
Followed by a day dedicated to not being dedicated to anything, because it seems like every day is International Something Day.
-

International set of all sets that don't contain themselves day?
-
And of course each of those days will have to have its own parade; thing is, that would cause so many parades that society and the economy would collapse, so we'd have to put all the parades on a single Parady Day Parade

Do any of them not try to strangle you?
yes. the kind that you tie around someone else's neck.
the knot looks like this:

I like the idea of declaring International October the 24th Day, and holding it each year on the 6th of March.

Gödel's day?
...or Russell's day? I always get the two confused...
-
Gödel's day?
...or Russell's day? I always get the two confused...
I think it would be better as Russell's day; he was the one who showed that set theory had problems, which was the real crack in the foundations. Gödel effectively showed that simple arithmetic could encode Russell's Paradox, and that this proved that arithmetic could not be formally complete.

Hey, brain-dead morons who maintain Python's IDLE:
Most keyboards outside the USA don't have a [ key. The standard combination for that is shift+tab. Make that one work.
But I guess it's pretty obvious this program hasn't been updated since 1995, so those maintainers don't actually exist.
-
Dedent? That's a new word for me at least...
-
Most keyboards outside the USA don't have a [ key
UK QWERTY does, as does Dvorak, though it seems neither QWERTZ or AZERTY do. So I wouldn't say 'most'. 'Many', but not 'most'.
-
-
Depends on how the menu shortcuts are handled, I guess; never used Python, IDLE, or a QWERTZ keyboard layout
-
Ctrl-altgr-8
Try CtrlAlt GrF. Not really a one-hand shortcut that ShiftTab would be.
I think I found a way to do it with one hand, but it looks more like a contortionist act than typing.
-
I think I found a way to do it with one hand
Just what are you trying to "dedent" that necessitates doing it one-handed?
Filed under: No, I don't want to know what your other hand is doing, TYVM.

The other one is busy fondling the mouse, because I'm a noob.

I thought about it, but decided it was too obvious and too tacky.

I am disappoint with your spellaring.
