Good talk!

Now, do you happen to also know why American downspouts so often are square/rectangular and European ones (typically) round?

I remember asking my dad that question when I was a little kid, and he didn’t have a good answer, beyond “probably just a design choice”. That answer left me wanting more. Not to the extent that I’ve ever attempted to find a better answer myself, but still wanting.

That seems like a no-brainer. Go to war, get fucked.

Yeah, it looks menacing

So close that they’re family!

Uninstalled.

Luckily I/people I interact with never used it much.

Like others have pointed out, It was indeed very much tongue-in-cheek.

Holy shit, he just keeps on slaying it, too… I stopped watching after the 10th time.

Just what we needed, more surveillance /s

Flaw, previous damage or incorrectly fastened, would be my guess.

109 children… jesus fucking christ. Life is a living hell for way too many of us. Sometimes I miss being a naive little boy who thought all kids’ had it more or less exactly like me.

Yeah, but she has some remarkably dim moments every now and then.

Moominpappa really has that IDGAF attitude. I had no idea!

These days, most companies that work with web based products are under pressure from upper management to “use AI”, as there’s a fear of missing out if they don’t. Now, management doesn’t necessarily have any idea what they should use it for, so they leave that to product managers and such. They don’t have any idea, either, and so they look at what features others have built and find a way to adapt one or more of those to fit their own products.

Slap on back, job well done, clueless upper management happy, even though money and time have been spent and the revenue remains the same.

“Come oot here and I’ll rip yer hed off!”

I said “jesus christ” to a teacher (3rd grade’ish), why I can’t remember but probably because I was asked to do something I felt was silly. Turned out the teacher was very religious and accused me of blasphemy, and was really up in arms about it. He invited my mom to a meeting to discuss the issue but, according to my mom, quickly dropped the whole thing when my mom had said “jesus christ” 5 times in the same amount of minutes.

I guess I know who taught me to use that phrase.

Familiarity. It’s the only direction it knows.

Aha, so that’s why we’ve been seeing what looks like puffs of smoke.

If you’re diligent you could be looking at decades of not installing crap!

Taking photos I see… how fascinating…

Using the same word for swearing and having sex helps, I’m sure.
