@HardwareGeek Yeah that's not an antipattern as much as plain fucking madness.

@pie_flavor with that much water intake, you're probably getting your daily exercise with all those trips to the restroom.

In terms of what it feels like, imagine that someone stabbed you in the stomach and pushed the knife all the way out your lower back. Now, imagine that sensation but in addition you also feel nauseous.
Wow holy fuck. I drink about two glasses of water per day. I probably am running on just luck. Need to up the water intake I definitely don't want what you describe happening

@Tsaukpaetra I want to make an obligatory node_modules joke but fuck it.

RE: The Official Status Thread
@Groaner How do y'all get them in the first place? Is this something that happens because of lifestyle or some people are inclined to get it no matter what?
Reading about kidney stones scare the fuck outta me.

Where do y'all get your wallpapers anyways? I use nothing but unsplash.

RE: The Official Status Thread
@Tsaukpaetra Was the original wallpaper taken on a potato and the photo of the screen taken on another potato?
Kinda looks dull. If you can share the high def image it'd be cool.

It'd be a terrible, terrible mistake to assume either of the above implies the other, or (shudder) the inverse.
That's more than the needed amount of usual gribnetese in one sentence.

RE: Interpreting screenshot backgrounds
@Tsaukpaetra you have so many potential candidates in your fuck list. Drowning in pussy much?

RE: The Official Funny Stuff Thread™
Yeah makes sense now. Wow we're all gonna end up in quotes out of context with this whole dick ball Christmas fuckery.
-
RE: The Official Funny Stuff Thread™
@Tsaukpaetra What is the Christmas dick actually intended to be? I'm struggling to see anything else except dick and balls.

@BernieTheBernie said in Temperature Conversion:
Um, wait.
293 K ... that's 20°C.
294 K ..., ... 21°C.
1 K, ..., oh that's complicated, ... oh yes: -272°C."What's the problem here? The calculation looks right. What am I missing?

RE: Theranos Shenanigans
@Parody Alright then. Time to look for theranos like stories elsewhere I guess.

RE: Theranos Shenanigans
@kazitor That's actually pretty neat. She should have pulled it off here in India. With the legal system being a joke and nobody understanding anything remotely tech related, she would have done fine. In the event she got caught, she would have still have a good 10 to 20 years before going to a prison where you can live comfortably.
I'd like to pull off a theranos someday maybe not something that involves people's lives but theranos-ing seems far more appealing than fixing bugs and wanking off to legacy code all day.
-
RE: Theranos Shenanigans
@Parody Are you fucking serious? It's gonna take that long? I have no idea about how the Justice system works in the US so I don't even know if you're joking or serious. Fuckin hell.

Re: In case you care about the Theranos stuff still
That's all guys? Is this gonna be forgotten? I feel like I watched a movie where they forgot to shoot the remaining 50 percent. WTF is going on?

RE: Programming Confessions Thread
@Gribnit Do you smoke the cigarettes or the other way round?

RE: Programming Confessions Thread
@Gribnit Fair enough. I also noticed there is not just one but a whole collection of em. Also they are not closed. What if it spills over? People just don't think things through. SMH.

RE: I still fucking hate StackOverflow sometimes
Come to think of it, the cunts to non cunts ratio is so high when you compare SO to Reddit or even hackernews. Reddit and HN cannot even hold a candle to the kind of cuntery I've seen on SO. And this is the first site people go to when they have a question in our line of work. SMFH.

RE: I still fucking hate StackOverflow sometimes
Helping people is a collateral benefit? Are you fucking kidding me SO? Cannot believe someone said that.

@pie_flavor I missed the phase where blakey transitioned from open source rants to accusing people of calling him names.

RE: The Official Status Thread
@kazitor I usually dip the razor in a bowl of water and vigorously shake it. Works okay. The blocking the tap with a finger is a messy trick though.

RE: The Official Status Thread
Why don't you @ blakey? I'm assuming that will make him scream too.

RE: Automation vs Today's Jobs
@Gribnit said in Automation vs Today's Jobs:
This - I have observed entire teams and departments that have no reason to exist except to exist.
I had a manager once go "But X is doing this manually. Why are you trying to make it run automatically in the codezzzz? Don't do it."
X was a 40 year old guy who'd been doing nothing but writing SQl Queries to manually process some Invoice data and write them into tables that were used to generate reports. I was told how to streamline the process but then they didn't want to do it cos X would have nothing else to do. I learnt what X was actually doing that day and I also learnt it is very easy to automate certain people in the workforce.
