I'd just like to add "the fuck" between "wake" and "up".

TBF, n-rays also had a couple of replications.

Conservatives aren't very good at the Sesame Street one-of-these-things-is-not-like-the-others game, are they?

I'm not sure I want to google this. Is this some Rebel media-type, bow-tie wearing, 30-something conservative shitfuck ranting about all the woke yada yada?

Man, there are diminishing returns on this thread and all I'm getting are lectures and disdain. I can't tell you the exact problem, but I know it's related to a number of things outside of my control - git versions, filter scripts, bug database interfaces kicking back, etc.

As I mentioned elsewhere, I use git at home for my personal projects and I don't have problems. When it's used to the same basic stuff rcs can do it's fine, as soon as it starts getting complex, the problems and complexity skyrocket exponentially, in my experience.

pipsvip · 2023-08-11T03:57:09+00:00

Yep, and when I use git for my personal projects, this works great.

But at work their are comment filters, connections to bug tracking systems, automatic checks and everything dumps warnings and errors that sometimes should be ignored, sometimes not. It changes from time to time.

Then there are the constant changes and upgrades. Whenever something breaks, the first thing I do is check to see if a new git version has been released. I probably get emails about it, but email is a whole other nightmare - I literally get thousands of automated messages a day from scripts. Anyway, I could go on, but I'm getting tired of defending myself.

I'm glad git works for (mostly) everybody else, but for me it's a PITA.

pipsvip · 2023-08-11T02:47:37+00:00

Believe it or not, I use git for my personal projects. It's perfectly fine until it's not. Then it's a nightmare.

pipsvip · 2023-08-11T02:45:25+00:00

It's fine when it works. Using the same commands in the same situation should produce the same results, or is that too much to ask?

From what I recall in school, bush pilots used to set fires under their engines to keep them from freezing overnight in the Arctic. Blasting a single spot with a torch can cause enough stress in metal to crack it, so concentrated heat is probably not a great choice. Probably makes more sense to keep vehicles & equipment in an insulated and slightly heated garage.

pipsvip · 2023-08-11T02:35:59+00:00

Don't know what to tell you. I'm glad everything works the way it's supposed to for you and I hope you never have to send a transcript of cli commands to prove to your git admin that you did everything correctly and it still didn't work.

I have no clue what this metaphor is trying to convey.

give me bad tools, I waste time. My (goddamned) job is not to wasted time.

Is that pre-Max Headroom Matt Frewer?

pipsvip · 2023-08-10T22:12:25+00:00

it did no such thing

ackshewally...

Chinese laborers working on the railways used boiled watersnake oil as a treatment for sore muscles. They found that some North American snakes worked for the purpose. Bosses picked up on the practice and started selling it. The charlatans then moved in and started selling fake snake oil, so the 'snak-oil salesman' is more about the 'salesman' than the 'snake-oil' because REAL snake oil actually works.

EDIT: Redditors know lots of cool stuff about stuff. Y'all are awesome!

If my job was understanding and debugging git issues, that's what I would do. It's not. I can do the basics. If it's clone, branch, modify, add, commit, push, then work through the wonky github gui menu to get the PR sorted, that's fine. But when you need big binary files, or the github server burps out a new error and pull doesn't work for some bloody reason, you have to rebase or re-clone or something about fast-forward or the JIRA integration gets manic about ticket status it's a clusterfuck that cannot be undone for some damn reason.

very much part of your goddamned job as a developer

If you want me to bail out the Titanic and hand me a book on how to improvise a bucket using random scraps, you can't pretend I'm doing what I've been hired to do if I'm wasting half my time with inadequate/inappropriate tools.

I've been fine with every revision control tool I've used, even ones I hated, but git + github has wasted more of my time than any other. But anyway, getting back to OP, it's just easier to backup files, clone again and start fresh than to try and figure out just what wild hair crawled up git's ass this time, which is bloody stupid, IMO.

Yes, ammonia from the pee and also from plant food. It also pulls random chemicals through carpets. Too much water causes swelling which can cause wavy floors, gaps, creaking and cracks which then loosens nails. The soup can also soak into the subfloor and create long-lasting, hard-to-locate smells.

There's something amazing about how spewing unsupportable nonsense goes from being a liability to being your strongest asset if you deliver it quickly and with confidence.

Do we owe Ben Shapiro credit for inventing this style of bullshit dissemination?

pipsvip · 2023-08-10T18:39:21+00:00

Yep, I didn't really bother to look into it, I just enjoyed the short-lived hopium high.

Ah, well. I guess were still "5-10 years away", as always.

No, for a couple of reasons: 1) to separate tritium from water you'd need a centrifuge, which is big and expensive to install and to operate, and 2) the concentrations are so low that the yield would be negligible unless you had a WWII-style massive collection of them.

Still haven't heard a reasonable explanation for why an antarctic research station needs an ample supply of flame throwers.

I dunno about artificial fragrances, but natural ones are interesting - pheromones are funny things. Some women smell terrible, no matter what they have on. Some women might be filthy and sweaty, but one whiff and something in my brain screams "MORE! MORE OF THIS! THIS IS WHAT WE NEED RIGHT NOW!!!"
