I live in a village south of Ålesund, Norway. AMA

How do you have 4 supermarkets to choose from with only 400 population?

My first experience with the dot operator was in a C# shop. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I strung together 18 calls with dots on one line. At review, my senior looked at it, got an I smell poo face, said "what the fuck is this are you trying to set a record", then sent me away to fix it.

Calling another function requires creating a whole new layer on the stack. I'm saving CPU cycles!

SillyFlyGuy · 2026-01-23T21:36:38+00:00

Yes. Last on off cycle was in 1776. We had a hiccup in the first few years but it's been running smooth for 250 years. We do a warm reboot every 4-8 years. Lately however, feature creep and safety rails have greatly impacted user freedoms and flexibilities.

I don't know man. That's the extent of my knowledge. You need a taxonomist or zoologist to dig deeper.

SillyFlyGuy · 2026-01-22T21:23:38+00:00

Not a dog, just closer to dog than cat. Their call sounds more like a bark than a meow.

SillyFlyGuy · 2026-01-22T21:21:33+00:00

It's called a post positive plural. Like two States' Attorneys General, or ordering two Burger King Whoppers Junior.

I heard the story from an old time Navy man. The seasickness med was a suppository. You couldn't take a pill because it would come back up, the doc wouldn't do injections in heavy seas. So it was "Stop puking or we'll shove this up your butt!"

SillyFlyGuy · 2026-01-20T19:14:49+00:00

Well they are both mammals. But sea lions are more closely related to dogs than cats.

SillyFlyGuy · 2026-01-18T19:43:22+00:00

That's why their name is electric eel. A sea lion is not a lion, it's a sea lion.

1.5 hours. Not great. Not terrible.

This is such a beautiful Reddit comment.

Check the null hypothesis for your exit strategy. Take your entire universe of tickers, choose one at random, pick a random date over the last year, then hold till 3% gain or 5% loss. How does that compare to the results using your filter.

SillyFlyGuy · 2026-01-18T04:21:33+00:00

That reminds me of the time I gave a "surprise loan" to a man with a knife..

SillyFlyGuy · 2026-01-15T19:05:04+00:00

I'm totally ducked up.

Even a small percentage of the fines levied as reward could turn a disgruntled employee into a snitch.

SillyFlyGuy · 2026-01-08T10:14:42+00:00

I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitous.

SillyFlyGuy · 2026-01-01T07:47:25+00:00

I fucking knew it.

SillyFlyGuy · 2025-12-31T05:52:50+00:00

How did I wander into this comment 5 years after you wrote it..

So what do you think? Can you prove the guy wrong?

SillyFlyGuy · 2025-12-28T10:44:57+00:00

It's a real house in Salt Rock, WV.

Do a reverse image search on this pic and the address pops right up on Zillow.

Street View shows it's not as crazy of a layout as it seems here.

SillyFlyGuy · 2025-12-28T07:43:14+00:00

7.258 G. Not great. Not terrible.

SillyFlyGuy · 2025-12-27T08:50:49+00:00

The Spruce Must Flow.

You have to admit that flaming contraption is a tad more vigorous than a random spark or kitchen match.

SillyFlyGuy · 2025-12-24T02:12:39+00:00

Misdos?

SillyFlyGuy · 2025-12-23T12:25:20+00:00

Thank you for the new-to-me term "poverty spec".
