- Comment on Aged like wine: Frank Zappa on Crossfire turns a debate about censorship into a warning about an emerging fascist theocracy. 2 days ago:
debate
Granted, I dont care to watch the rest of the show, but from the clip that was less debate and more old white fucks shouting over one another in a desperate scramble to place themselves above the dangerous subversive radical trying to talk sense.

nine out of 10 major evaluations used binary grading that penalized “I don’t know” responses while rewarding incorrect but confident answers.
This is how we treat people, too. I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard IT staff spouting off confident nonsense and getting congratulated for it. My old coworker turned it into several promotions because the people he was impressing with his bullshit were so far removed from day to day operations that any slip-ups could be easily blame shifted to others. What mattered was that he sounded confident despite knowing jack about shit.

I’ve done some seriously stupid shit in excel, mostly due to it being the only tool I had. By the time I handed the project off to someone else for maintenance/feature creep, there were VLOOKUP ranges spanning dozens of columns. VLOOKUP doesn’t care what column the target is named, only the offset from the beginning of the range. So being able to calculate CA minus W is pretty handy.
Yes, the project should have been a database. But these things happen when skinflint company meets annoyed amateur: you get a sprawling VBA abomination that, despite making actual developers want to choke a bitch, still works orders of magnitude better than the previous system.

If you have a hatchback, it’s even easier. Lean in, start the car, roll down the windows, walk around to the hatch. I don’t even bother doing more than one open and close anymore.

Has anyone seen Frank Bennedetto? He might be able to help with the popcorn sitch. Also, he still owes me five bucks.

Irish people were among the most oppressed white minorities back in the day.
Most of the Irish Americans I know are just keen on dishing it back out to whatever Other they can target. I’m also related to most of the Irish Americans I know, so take that as you will.
