Glad to see the galaxy brains are still in charge of developing the anticheat system

Considering switching to Arch Linux on my personal PC, but, it's kind of a bad time because I also want to play Battlefield 6. :(

You've heard of windows, window classes, window class factories, window class factory managers, and window class factory factories...

But now, get ready for...

Sometimes the person giving you that advice has good intentions and is just trying to help keep you from stressing out, but other times the person giving you that advice might be trying to tell you to stay in your lane, and there could be multiple less well-intentioned reasons for saying that.

Just put some coffee grounds under your bottom lip like it's Skoal... that will get you through these desperate times

I made a French omelet like in that TV show The Bear where I piped Boursain cheese in the middle of the omelet and then topped it with broken potato chips.

The crunchy chips provide a brilliant textural contrast with the gooey omelet.

Gold Award for the #1 worst, least-helpful error message goes to:

"error: src refspec master does not match any."

Which is a really fucked up way of saying "you forgot to commit first, bro"

"You haven't been drafting your emails with AI lately, and that's going to reflect poorly on your next performance review."

"Oh... how could you tell I wasn't using AI to write my emails?"

"They were suspiciously well written, precise and reflective of your personality."

Yeah, I know. I wasn't trying to argue that Trump isn't a moron. He definitely is. I was just saying it's also not entirely accurate that the DoE has *nothing* to do with oil production. I mean, there's an oil derrick right there on their logo.

I'm a liberal and I hate Trump just as much everyone else around here, but you know, Democrat presidents were also bombing various middle eastern countries without congressional approval also. It's been a bipartisan American pastime for decades.

What a sign of the times that every time my managers send out a meeting invite it has to come with the disclaimer "Don't worry it's all positive"

unpopular opinion: mint does not belong in food. Chewing gum, perhaps. Otherwise, it's not edible. Gross.

Jack, Hennesey, vodka... in that order. I think I might have still been on my scotch kick ~10 years ago when we first met, I can't remember. I was obsessed with scotch for years but haven't touched it in a long time. I go through phases.

I don't get it, gin tastes like new car tires. Like if you walked into a Discount Tire Company store and just started licking tires, that's what gin tastes like to me.

We can still be friends though, I guess.

I'll drink almost anything but honestly, gin fucking sucks.

Like some gene in your DNA gets flipped where you're like "oh I like gin now... and also killing baby ducks"

I guess it's the alcoholic equivalent of the cilantro-soap thing.
