Imagine being the one who has to explain that Putin died when another person burst forth from his body like an alien.

I knew it! I was sure I heard John say “hail Satan, Lord of Darkness” when I played one of their albums backwards.

Then there’s the small group that just throws everything into Excel

Interesting. Excel is certainly capable enough but I would think data set size limitations would be a frequent issue. Maybe not as frequent as I would have thought though.

The same people giving you a weird look when you say “Merry Christmas” to them on December 26th (the second day of Christmas).

I can’t relate to your question since that has not been my experience.

If I could only recommend one resource for learning about interacting with others, it would be Dale Carnegie’s “How to Win Friends and Influence People”.

You don’t have to have money or a brimming social life to go on dates or have meaningful relationships. You do have to make some effort at building those relationships though. The book I mentioned will teach you a lot of the basics.

Mariwhata?

You wouldn’t have to work hard. You could build a great big house with rooms by the dozen, right in the middle of the town. …if you were a wealthy man.

"I’ve sent Bill, who’s a really great guy btw, back to Home Depot three times to buy a part that he already has two of at home but your dumb ass just sits on the couch every night instead of thinking ‘gee, I should probably repaint my hideous living room.’ But you know what? It’s fine. Bill deserves someone who will actually take some initiative instead of sitting there binging Grey’s Anatomy every night like ‘GoD wIlL bRiNg ThE rIgHt PeRsOn InTo My LiFe’. --God (Probably)

“He’s hurting the wrong people.” Round 2

The irony being that if you can’t afford the membership dues at Mar-a -Lago then you are exactly the people that Trump plans to hurt.

I would tell you but then I would have to kill you.

15 years in IT OPS before switching to programming. Can confirm most IT infrastructure is held together with duct tape and the occasional prayer meeting in the data center.

I was confused until I read the music. 😏

Ask and you shall receive.

I think we should take full advantage of this opportunity. Ok, here we go.

“Robert F Kennedy Jr Is a 👶🗡️BABY MURDERER👶🗡️!!! He thinks people should inject 💉themselves with stem cells which is just a Demoncrat code name for little bits of 💀unborn baby💀! 👏President Trump 👏 is appointing a pro-choice Demoncrat 👹 BABY MURDERER to head up the FDA !! Pass it on and tell PRESIDENT Trump to not appoint ☠️BABY MURDER RFK JR ☠️ to run the FDA.”

How am I doing so far?

Edit: Facebookified it a bit.

No shit.

Tariffs alone will not revive domestic manufacturing, the demise of which has numerous causes, but two in particular.

1.) Corporations maximising profits. I don’t think this needs much of an explanation.

2.) Consumer apathy. By which I mean consumers not giving a shit and consistently buying the cheapest garbage possible without regard for the long term cost. Quality products cost more money up front and ideally have a lower total cost of ownership. But, the average consumer only cares about the price tag on the shelf. The long term costs of this behavior and the related disposable culture are enormous.

Unfortunately, one of those costs are the loss of middle class jobs cranking out products at a plant in Ohio because now the plant is an empty field and the jobs got shipped overseas.

Reminds me of this Jib Jab video from like 2005.

I’m still trying to figure out what these people [Republicans] are doing in the bathroom. I probably don’t want to know. All can say is, when I’m trying to pee in a public restroom, I don’t really give a shit who’s in the stall next to me. I don’t care what their gender is. I don’t care what their birth gender was. I’m just trying to do my business and get on with my day.

Touche.

A flying nasty dirt magnet that takes you places.

So basically JavaScript with TypeScript.

One takes you places, the other is a nasty dirt magnet. Which one is which is entirely subjective.

Most general purpose programming languages nowadays are designed to be easily human readable. But with this, I now have to understand the syntax of another “programming language” in addition to the programming language it outputs. How is this helpful in any way?

There are already plenty of template generators that can generate boiletplate code with parameters. This seems like a complete waste of time.
