Dagothwave too?

Haha, in highschool I put sheep.exes into the school labs startup folders as a prank once. A couple days later the tech teacher approached me and was like “nobody’s in trouble but these things are a nightmare and if I have to reimage half the lab to get rid of them it would personally ruin my day”. Somehow all the sheep were gone by the next day

My work someone made a robust automated build script, and they left so someone else made a wrapper around it to make it easier to work with, they’re gone now and someone wrote a wrapper around that to extend functionality in a backwards compatible way, but it’s overly complicated for my minimal use cases so I wrote a batch file to call it with my default settings…

Yeah you got to be real careful you don’t zero sum yourself, much better to chim if you can

In school (US) they taught us about the book burnings but conveniently left out that a lot of the most famous pictures are from this institute being ransacked. The suppression of knowledge continues :/

When did you retire? Agile has been around for at least 20 years, more like 30 if you count scrum being introduced before agile was formally defined. No matter how critical I am of agile it is hardly a fad at this point

Can confirm, am getting divorced after 12 years

No, only iron lungs

The last person so far. We might get to see polio rise again because of the antivaxers

I never connected the observations but yeah I don’t know anyone in the area who goes to church even there are a surprising number of them around. It’s also pretty rare for me to see people entering or exiting a church at all whereas places I used to live would often have people around them. I wonder what the age demographic of the church goers is locally?

Recompilation should take at least 20 seconds… I wish my job’s source could compile in under two hours

I worked for the state once and the number of times I had to put my foot down for security was appalling. We’re talking like getting web services updated to use basic password auth could take months and I’d be pressured by management to ignore it because some asshat using the service doesn’t want to update their 30 year old batch file to deal with auth. Other people would regularly push things that could easily expose thousands of people’s identifying info just to get management off their backs. A couple projects I think I was specifically kept away from because they were “mission critical” and they didn’t want me slowing it down with trivial stuff like not leaking unencrypted databases…

Tell that to the ants engaged in perpetual and brutal world wars.

For real though fuck the warmongers. Who wakes up and goes “you know what I want to do today? Kill people at scale for money. Then maybe brunch”. That’s top tier evil

I’m giving it a 50/50 based on my sample size of two. I sure felt like I wanted to make things work more but spouse still marched right for divorce so 🤷‍♀️

I needed something like this in my life

As someone with a lot of memory problems, it’s actually pretty spooky feeling and confusing losing any memories good or bad. Idk probably that’s different per person but even when I forget the bad the sense of loss is for real plus the “who am I” existential dread.

The fee CGC charges though is based on the value of the item. The reasoning I got was because they couldn’t determine a value they didn’t know what to charge for their fee and eventually I just told them to send it back (this was after months of trying to figure it out). It has been a while though so maybe better luck this time around? I didn’t know about CBCS either so might just try them thank you for the suggestion

Depends what you’re in the mood for:

• I personally love Paranoia. It is very much a comedy game but it can be played with a serious take with the right work. Plus it is just a fun read even if you don’t play it.
• Rifts is pretty baller conceptually but I don’t have first hand experience playing it.
• GURPS has a Car Wars crossover making it objectively one of the best games, can be played with any level of tech, and has buckets of supplements.
• The Burning Wheel is more fantasy but the book is basically a philosophy of play which could be adapted to lots of things, and the same author wrote Burning Empires which is more scifi but I haven’t acquired that one so can’t give first hand info on it either.
• Can’t forget Car Wars. It is scifi though it is a mix of ttrpg and strategy/board. If you want to drive a car off a cliff while dropping mines on a helicopter as you go by and have your robot gunner leaning out the window shooting lasers at a tank it is the way to go.
• Finally I’ll pitch HōL because the game is just so unhinged. It is all hand written and scanned, it’s edgy and crass, and is a great parody of roleplaying games. It’s engaging and fun to read with great art but realistically quite difficult to functionally play because the rules are intentionally a mess. The Buttery Wholesomeness supplement added character creation rules which don’t exist in the base game because it is a mess.

I have when I was in high school. It is in fact a wild movie worth a watch! Finding a copy of it can be a bit of a pain so I’m on the hunt. I prefer to purchase from people who aren’t on eBay idk why, seems more in the spirit of things to me. So like I could grab a copy of this one on eBay but I’d like to find someone like you who has a copy they’re looking to sell before I resort to that. There is a used music and movie store near me I go into sometimes to try and track down some gems it’s got a very personal feel to it being able to flip through things physically.
