Something like that.

I doubt it. He always makes it look like an accident.

@boomzilla this also could go in the D&D thread. It perfectly describes players' SOP 99% of the time.
My party knew that there were some magic items in a particular carriage house, and that the owners were unlikely to give them to us.
The solution? Ask for them first, because we're GoodTM. And then rob the carriage house afterward, because... we deserve it? And gosh, I don't think it'll go that badly, right? We'll be fine. We'll be in and out before anyone figures it out. And they definitely won't have any prime suspects if the stuff is stolen.
(The result: we were detected when we tripped an Alarm spell, two relatively-innocent guards were killed when the radius of Spirit Guardians caught them, and we discovered that the lady of the house was consorting with demons when said demons attacked us, but we couldn't prove anything because once one demon went down, the other one grabbed the corpse and teleported out. So we skipped town and kept our heads low until we were further away. But hey, we got the (low-power) magic items!)

You always steal them first and ask for them after the fact so you have deniability, d'uh!

Yeah, but he may have spent too much time with his friend Jack Daniel and made a mistake

TDWTF members: Using floating point numbers for money is .
Also TDWTF members: A whole discussion on why programming languages don't need a primitive decimal type.
-
@Vault_Dweller I'm not sure it really boiled down to that. Not that there's any practical difference as far as can be found in that discussion (inb4, once again, welcome to TDWTF). Being able to use operators looks more neat, and mentioning them in docs in a more discoverable way might be advisable. The rest is academic at best.
Or let me put it this way: we can have any primitives you like as long as you one is able to provide a rigid definition of "primitive type" that works the same way across languages.
If you think you're up to the task, here's why you're not:
Date
is a primitive in VB.NET, but not in C# nor CLR. As to why, St. Eric once said, "I'll write an essay on the topic as a fuck you for even asking, but tl;dr we didn't want to, therefore it ain't".

There was one guy, but he's a physics type, and he wasn't really arguing that. There was definitely some discussion about why there isn't such a thing in most languages.

@izzion I actually didn’t even think of that. Makes it even better.
E: damn it, now I regret that I didn’t shop in user avatars.

I never realised writing “palaeontology”
correctlywith the digraph was so distinctive.Credit where it’s due, Pterodactylus is a German pterosaur… or was, however you prefer to apply tense to fossils.
-
@kazitor Technically, wouldn't the digraph be "æ", not "ae"?

@hungrier said in Things that remind you of WDTWTF members:

You're thinking of a ligature.
-
@Watson From Wikipedia:
originally a ligature representing the Latin diphthong ae. It has been promoted to the full status of a letter in some languages, including Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic, and Faroese.
-
Sperging out about ligatures vs. digraphs definitely reminds me of... basically this entire site

You're thinking of a ligature.
but also, according to the book of knowledge:
Digraph may refer to:
- Digraph (orthography), a pair of characters used together to represent a single sound, such as "sh" in English
- Orthographic ligature, the joining of two letters as a single glyph, such as "æ"

Fuck that, I have 3 monitors, loud keyboard, extra numpad, and I use Linux.

Agreed.
You recommended the Cloud 9 keyboard, right?

@Karla I've never used one, but I think we can all agree that mechanical keyboards are in general a Good Thing™. (Whatever happened to Martha Stewart?)

Get your pitchforks ready, for I have never been a fan of mechanical keyboards.

My son has one, and I am not a fan of it. It has 3 problems:
- Loud
- No numpad
- Too many LEDs. (At least it's constant color, or maybe it's capable of multi-color and he is sane enough (?!? never thought I'd say that) to have configured it for constant color, not ever-changing RGB lighting. That would call for the application of a large hammer.)
If one could get the feel of a mechanical keyboard without the sound, that would be ideal.

3 monitors are obvious, right?

QFT. Unfortunately, fetishists dominate this market, so it's unlikely we'll ever get that.
