It's because the people who pick and choose what the constitution is to them are the same people who pick and choose parts of The Bible. They believe they're always right and they don't want anyone to ever tell them they're wrong.

Then the next question, 'can you call the other stores and check if they have any?' and it's like they won't believe you that they're sold out everywhere. Like, "Buddy, I've called the other stores several times, they've called me several times. We're all calling each other asking for the same thing, they're sold out everywhere." Even then some people still didn't believe us, like if they yell and scream loud enough and long enough we'll bring one out from a secret supply we keep hidden just because.

I worked in a department store when I was a teenager. My favorite was when people came in looking for a video game console days after it released and ask you to look in the back because maybe one fell between some skids or something. Like Buddy, if we had one to sell we'd have sold it. Those things go right into a cage once their received. Ain't no one losing track of them, they literally print money for the store. A lot of people just assume retail workers are all incompetent.

Adding in edit: although sometimes it ended up with the customer screaming at us, it was always great to ask them if they really thought they were the first person today to come up with that idea. For a moment before they yell again they look dumbfounded. Worth it!

As an adult who had to sit with a first grader to make sure they stayed in their zoom classes, I couldn't agree more. I don't hold a grudge against her teacher, we were all doing our best. It was just impossible to keep a first grader focused on her laptop for more than 20 min at best.

Large abstract stencils. They're available at art stores, but if you can find them at a hardware store they're super cheap. Something like this from Amazon . I didn't use them, I just put them on the wall hanging. Eventually I also got LED bulbs to cast cool shadows.

That scene was terrifying, I'm still afraid of lumber trucks to this day.

I tried WSL for a week to give it a fair shake. It sucked just horrible all around. The worst part is that it left behind reginfo and other crap I'm too afraid of trying to remove from fear of borking my windows install. Yeah I can reinstall it but I'm lazy.

I absolutely agree, but so long as it remains profitable developers will do it. Skip a whole lot of QC, rush to release the game, then use the launch to gather bug reports and fix those. Costs saved not hiring a ton of QC testers, get a return on the investment much sooner, get early players to pay to be QC testers basically. It's a tried and tested formula now and it will keep happening until too many people won't pre-order games.

Even worse when you see every post incremented by one or more. Either a racist troll had stumbled their way in or an ad-bot was spam posting. Either way, took a few days for the mods to get around to cleaning it up. Passwords for every board was the only way to slow it down. They were not the good old days.

I've been casually transitioning to kubernetes and zsh, but I'm just too comfortable with bash and my os running on bare metal. (He says with more than half his apps switched to containers.) It's simple, effective, and is always available. I should take the plunge, someday.

Only 12, c'mon now most of these guys are working 14 or more. You're young, you should be putting in the hours. We're really busy right now and we really need everyone to step up and do their part. Besides work ebes and flows, right now we have a lot but we won't always.

/S if that wasn't obvious. You only get one life, don't sell it away.
