An interesting application feature idea; filter profiles? Where filters, blocks, subscriptions, etc. are a set/group that can be toggled. You could make a separate account, I suppose. But there’s also some likely overhead to consider.

Some C-Suite executives that think they’re important/interesting enough to hold a Ted Talk. Usually it’s just buzzword babble, but it occasionally escalates.

Reminds me of Matt Berry as Lazlo in What we do in the Shadows.

The last time I went to an oil change place, I wanted it done because I was leaving town the next day. I usually have my regular mechanic (who is excellent and honest; a rare breed) do it, or I do it myself.

The ten minute oil change took an hour and change. They tried to upsell me on a bunch of bullshit and gave me stink eye when I politely told them I just need a conventional oil change, thanks.

They overfilled it by about .75 of a quart. I had to take care of that myself before the aforementioned road trip. The car only holds about four quarts in total.

They charged twice as much as my mechanic who knows what he’s doing and gives a shit. Never again.

I know we’re having fun, but Cure for Pain is a great album.

I think OP’s screenshot is tactful and effective. It’s similar to my approach. Which starts:

“Thanks for the invitation, what’s on the agenda?”

Then I decide to accept or politely decline and ask for minutes.

What if you enjoy your work and find value in it; and the meeting is pointless bullshit that just breaks your focus?

I can’t say I miss the nonsense.

Is your stand-up the rare exception that lasts 10-15 minutes and actually accomplishes something?

It’s a good idea to clean your dishwasher out every once in a while. I do mine quarterly. They will get gross otherwise. There’s a filter in the bottom that needs to be thoroughly cleaned out, and the bit it fits into. Clean the gasket all the way around, and then run a cycle with a sanitizer product if you feel like it.

Do they ever test anything that’s not on a huge screen before rolling to prod?

I feel this way all the time. I used to have to tell my (often less experienced) coworkers “that’s unusable on a device, which is how 75% of our traffic will consume it.”

It was usually because it looked nice on a huge monitor, and in an emulator.

There’s also that period before you leave when you prepare to be away from home all day, and the period after you return home when you decompress. Most people aren’t magically relaxed after dealing with the commute home.

It used to take three hours of my waking life per day. About 18% of my weekday life. 540 hours per year. At $40/hr that’s 21k of free money to the house. FWIW I’d rather have that time to myself and family, but there’s the number.

It’s right there in the name, but then there’s CFML, which is unpopular, but it definitely features logic, variables, and data manipulation.

We also dial the phone and roll down the windows. I guess some phrases transcend time.

It’s still commonly used in STEM fields.

Fuji makes some really nice SLRs, and their glass is exceptional. Also, you don’t need to install software if you don’t want to.

I always assume that any meat I buy contains harmful bacteria. A quality meat thermometer is a must. I’m more concerned about harmful bacteria on things that aren’t cooked. Cooking to 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 C) kills salmonella. You might also want to pasteurize your eggs if you’re going to eat them raw.

Not all of them anymore. Verizon doesn’t, for example.

If you don’t know what you’re doing, hosting an email server will not be a good time. It’s very easy to produce an environment that is easily exploited.

A somewhat inexpensive shared hosting plan allows you to host your own email though. I get it done for <$100/yr. and have little to no limitation over self-hosting.
