Three beers are also a schnitzel and then you drank nothing.

TRS-80 then IBM PCjr here. Both hand-me-downs though.
Mom wouldn’t let me on the 386 until I could touch-type and write a program in BASIC. She was a Cobol and IBM RPG programmer.

“Vexillophile” is a word you probably won’t ever need again.

- Comment on God did not intend for us to fold fitted sheets, and if you can it's witchcraft. 2 months ago:
It’s really not bad with full elastic bands. Make a rough square using the point of the corners as one corner and the only non-elastic fold as the opposite. Just flop the sloppy elastic to the inside. I then fold in thirds and again in thirds. Just fold the weird parts to the inside each time.
My wife still thinks it’s magic after 20 years.

Also don’t forget your locking nut key for those pesky lock nuts
Leaving only those will make for a bigger surprise a few minutes later when they take a corner at speed. Or hit a bump.

Battery powered impact driver plus a deep socket set = you can remove lug nuts or bolts (securing a wheel to a vehicle) in very quick fashion.

You joke, but we learned “tons” and “metric tons” in elementary school.
I assume it’s the reason “metric” is used as an adjective this way.

Oh man, I grew up with those intercoms on the top right.
So weird to see them again.
- Comment on Well, shit. 3 months ago:
Yep. Ran a config as code migration on prod instead of dev. We introduced new safeguards for running against prod after that. And changed the expectations for primary on call to do dev work with down time. Shifted to improving ops tooling or making pretty charts from all the metrics. Actually ended up reducing toil substantially over the next couple quarters.
10/10 will absolutely still do something dumb again.

Beard beer! Yeah, rogue was definitely playing with things at the time (remember voodoo donut?). Gotta keep in mind this brewer had been brewing in a yeast laden environment for many years.
I feel like I remember reading white labs sampled it and found it was a combo of several of their strains.
- Comment on TIL there is a law called Marchetti's Constant. Humans only tolerate commutes of less than ~1 hour. Housing outside that limit will fail. 4 months ago:
Marchetti posits that although forms of urban planning and transport may change, and although some live in villages and others in cities, people gradually adjust their lives to their conditions (including location of their homes relative to their workplace) such that the average travel time stays approximately constant.
Yeah, that’s a strange conclusion.
