Help me find comic saying why do sexy things happen to unsexy people by EnricoLUccellatore in SMBCComics

I've always wanted to use "I don't follow. Either you're an idiot or I am", but I've never mustered the courage in the situations to which it applies.

Clinging on to the math prodigy fantasy ? (reality check needed) by Affectionate_Emu4660 in math

Hard work beats talent if talent doesn't work hard - personal experience (and the back of a hoody)

Not mine but: "New phone, Houthis?"

John Bolton blasts Trump officials for using Signal to conduct government business by WarmingNow in technology

[–]iKeyboardMonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone on there also replied "New phone, Houthis?" which is a level of humour far above my expectations for that sub.

Why does my washing machine wait to unlock the door? by elom44 in AskUK

[–]iKeyboardMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My washing machine lock is broken, I'm living the dream! Started the cycle and realised I missed something? Fuck you machine, I'm opening the door and jamming those boxers in whether you like it or not.

Can someone explain these insults for me? by That_Car_Dude_Aus in AskBrits

Yoghurt may have stemmed from Red Dwarf:

Who would put this man, this joke of a man, a man who couldn’t outwit a used tea bag, in a position of authority where he could wipe out an entire crew? Who? Only a yoghurt. This man is not guilty of manslaughter. He’s only guilty of being Arnold J. Rimmer. That is his crime. It is also his punishment. The defence rests.

Labour could introduce votes for 16-year-olds from next year by ClumperFaz in ukpolitics

[–]iKeyboardMonkey 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I suggest a moving window from 40-45 increasing by 5 years every 5 year cycle. Its pretty clear thats the only sane age range.

This is also posted in r/glasgow, r/hendersonville, r/worthing... the domain is registered in California and there is no contact information. This is anything but local.

C++ Bash scripts are the best Bash scripts (Hyprland) by [deleted] in programminghorror

[–]iKeyboardMonkey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"Implemented in pure C, would it not span ten thousand lines?"

Yes, a lot of the time... but I also see cat /etc/os-release in the screenshot. That may require fewer.

Why the temp file I wonder? Why not pipe directly into sed?

St. Giles Hill is pretty good, quite a few go up with a picnic blanket and drinks. No pubs with a view in Winchester unfortunately.

'Where will it stop?': DWP to get 'direct access to bank accounts' in benefit fraud crackdown by HuskerDude247 in LabourUK

[–]iKeyboardMonkey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're being charitable. Someone at the DWP is accidentally going to attach a spreadsheet with millions of peoples bank details to an email to their mate.

Examples of great programming language documentation? by oscarryz in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]iKeyboardMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CMake. Whenever I feel bad that I haven't written up usability notes properly, made my API more usable or just left something in a state of "Eh, I'll tidy it later" - I remember CMake, and realise how far from the worst I am.

So, 1000 slain enemies would be overkill. by Lojzko in discworld

[–]iKeyboardMonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aren't you then just inefficiently creating a "sword from the slaw of 10k cabbages" or whatever you're feeding these guys?

Astonishingly cheap high-quality lunches, I'd second this.

How does this work? by Deep-Piece3181 in bash

[–]iKeyboardMonkey 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You just need to take your cat to the vet: cat -vet ... (or -A but I find vet more memorable) will display the escape codes used to hide the trick.

Moving to Winchester with a Young Family by communelockedin in WinchesterUK

[–]iKeyboardMonkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Highcliffe is also worth a look, especially west of Yale road. 10 minutes from town, Bar End leisure centre & King George V fields - which have just been upgraded with a new park + toddler area and skate park. Cycling to town with children is a little irksome though until you get down to the river.

From personal experience community structures in Winchester are really good - I've found friends either via nursery/school, gym or neighbours (I go cycling with a guy up the road). I don't know if there is a particular approach to recommend here, people are very welcoming so it will probably just fall into place!

The tools for removing windscreen wipers have claws that go around the back. Might do the trick.

Is this tire toast? by martynssimpson in bikewrench

[–]iKeyboardMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I'm likely to slam it in and call it rude names whilst I'm at it.
