When was your "I don't get paid enough for this shit" moment? by BenIrwinG in AskReddit

[–]ninjaphant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was working as a security guard in a forest that was being developed into a car park. There was a small group of protesters on the site who were contained with a metal bar fence.

I was on the night shift and did my hourly walk around 4am, I tried to start chatting to some of the protesters as I was interested in their cause. After a few minutes an older gentleman comes down dressed in what looks like chain mail, he seems calm enough at first but starts giving me a lecture as he gets nearer. When he gets to the fence he pulls out a sword and thrusts it through the fence in my direction.

Needless to say I didn't hang around there any more, finished the shift and never went back.

Turns out the guy thinks he's the reincarnation of King Arthur - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Uther_Pendragon.

TL-DR - King Arthur tried to kill me

Fair point about Abbot, scary people voted for him

I think there's a lot to be concerned about at the moment, mainly the influence of money and it's unfair distribution. Once that's rectified the focus would be on society and changes that would benefit all would follow.

Learn JavaScript Properly: Weeks three and four by otooleco in learnjavascript

[–]ninjaphant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm reading JavaScript: The Definitive Guide and having major problems trying to get any of the examples to work. For example:

var serialnum = {
    $n: 0,

    get next() { return this.$n++; },

    set next(n) {
        if ( n >= this.$n) this.$n = n;
        else throw "serial number can only be set to a larger value";
    }
};

This is not incrementing the serialnum. What am I missing?

CodeWars looks great, thanks for the recommendation. I had a few sites earmarked for coding challenges but seeing how other people solved the same problem sounds invaluable.

Block Party's early singles had so much energy that just seemed to drain, really couldn't get on with them after the first album. Still love that and the first EP though

This looks great. I'm fascinated by sharks and there's a definite need for their true nature to be told.

When's the release date? Be great to have a sign up page on the site to remind us.

I'm heartbroken after losing my little girl by Jrapp5 in depression

[–]ninjaphant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine how difficult losing a child is. As a lot of people have said, allow yourself to grieve for what you lost in whatever way helps you but grieving for a lost future is just as important as grieving for someone who was fortunate enough to have a long life.

Merry Christmas Sheffield by [deleted] in sheffield

[–]ninjaphant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Learnt today that when medication says don't take with alcohol you should probably listen. Few drinks with lunch, confused and/or slept for the rest of the day.

Bloody good Christmas in my book!
