@mcc I'm pretty sure I used python 2 for like one year and then python 3 for 10+ and it's still tripping me up to this day

my husband challenged the conductor in turn but this was only five minutes before our stop so this second match did not happen

I am on a train and the conductor just challenged someone to chess on the spot like a Pokémon trainer

my work laptop has a hardware bug and never goes to sleep, so every single night my VPN connection expires after 12 hours, and then Outlook tries to check my mail, and then Microsoft authentication services panics that the same fucker who tries to hack me every night at about the same time from my own house two towns over from the office is trying to hack me again

I’ve tried everything re: the sleep thing btw, Windows’ own diagnostics for finding issues that could prevent a successful suspend never come up with anything. This same laptop will occasionally randomly BSOD because it lost track of the hard drive and I have to leave the machine cold for a bit before it can boot again
and my previous work laptop of an identical model had all the same issues and bricked itself after a year, this one is now just over a year in use and seems more stable overall so this is the good one

@marcan that sounds like a thing that was set ten years ago and never updated; I’d bet a dollar no one currently on the team even realizes this is happening

I wonder how many millions of dollars in security incidents would have been prevented if "public key" and "private key" didn't happen to start with the same letter

This is the funniest discrepancy I've identified yet between how bad a gameboy game looks and how good the music sounds. I thought "this must be that Alberto Jose González guy people told me about" and it was lol
https://www.zophar.net/music/gameboy-gbs/baby-felix-halloween I recommend especially BGM 1, 6 and 9

I encountered a fellow American online who was insisting, in apparent good faith, that there is no such thing as a person anywhere in the world who doesn’t recognize the names of all 50 US states as easily as they recognize France or China, and so there’s never any need to clarify that you mean in the US.
My fellow Americans, that is not true. When people here in Europe ask where I’m from, and I say Massachusetts rather than Boston, 80% of the time I can visibly see the gears turning as they try to decide whether I just made up that word to mess with them. Nobody is talking about Massachusetts on the Estonian or the Nepalese news. Nobody outside of the US has ever massed a chusetts and they never will.

woman programmer on social media who posts nothing but productivity tips and startup growth hacks alongside hundreds of virtually identical photos of her looking generically perfect while posing with a macbook: this is a catfish. this is an account run by a man who paid a model.
woman programmer who is incredibly embarrassingly authentic about her cringe hobbies, her makeup is goth, her dresses are accurate reproduction 1700s ball gowns that she made herself and also they light up either rainbow or trans pride colors, she wants to show you her tamagotchi with custom firmware: this is a woman

Do you have a resume gap because you were Seriously Goddam Sick? I was out of work for five years due to illness and this is what I ended up telling employers after a little trial and error: "I was providing care for a sick relative."
Reader, it was me. I was my sick relative and I was taking care of myself. If you're back to working capacity it's none of their business

Someone in my discord wanted to know if you could, in theory, sue yourself, and googling this led to one of the most incredible paragraphs on the internet:
"Another reason why people sue themselves includes punishment. People who commit crimes often get punished by the state. But sometimes, they might not be able to pay the fines or court fees. So, they can sue themselves and use their own money to cover these costs."
I don't... think this was written by a real lawyer, y'all. 😂
