Money left to me when one died has made my life tremendously easier. It’s unfair, really, and I had a lot of complicated feelings about it but worked through them in therapy.

Now they can find it as underwhelming as I do!

Seriously, the tech is amazing but it lives in a drawer.

It’s so obvious!

I like this answer the best.

The Irish, for example, are no longer systematically persecuted in the USA en masse.

Must be able to speak English

Ah, fuck, I’m out. It’s one of the only languages I haven’t learned. Were this a post seeking Sanskrit, Mayan, Akkadian, or High Valyrian language speakers, I’d be just the right candidate.

Pop quiz: which of the above is not a historical language? If you guessed Klingon, your reading comprehension skills are for shit. The answer is English. It’s completely made up and only appears in Fantasy genre stories – along with birds and flying spaghetti monsters and hobbits.

Wow, I’m really bored at work, I guess. Glad it’s Friday. Hope you all have a nice weekend.

“Welcome to my kitchen. Why are you here?”

That’s why I went backwards from SE back to IT. I enjoy working with people directly and helping them. It’s also a hell of a lot easier in terms of hours and crunches (we have no crunches).

Basically, I had to decide whether I wanted the money and “glamour” of working on a well-known hot project or to be generally happy with my life. I’m a lot happier now.

Donate it to a museum with a sterling reputation or destroy it. Sounds like there’s no value to a museum, so that leaves one option. Take it to someone who can melt it down in front of you to make sure it’s not sold on a black market.

A buddy told me he used AI to mostly author a PowerShell script for something or other automation at his work the other day. Sounded like it was reasonably complex and all he had to do was sanity-check the code and touch it up to make sure it worked correctly. I’ve barely dabbled in that area, but I was reasonably impressed with the small tasks I threw at it.

Looks nice from the screenshot. Very clean.

Should be bread-earners.

I am technically on 8am-5pm, though the boss lets us stop responding to emails at 430pm and head home. I’d have to answer a call or text, but that never happens. I get 1h unpaid lunch.

My coworkers come in a half hour later but only get a half hour lunch. I like the longer break, so I’m find with it. Technically, we’re all salaried, so we can show up a bit late or leave a bit early so long as we communicate with the boss about it.

How I felt when the Simpsons turned from hilarious to annoying. I was genuinely sad.

How’s the water temperature? Is it safe to swim or would one’s scrotum make a hasty retreat?

I’m looking at you Jenny McArthy.

Murdering the horse? Wtf.

Ha. The VIP that I work for doesn’t have time for me to tell them how to solve their technical issues. So, no, not currently. But in the past it was different.

It’s a hoodie.
