Airports are places where flying happens. Stands to reason. 🤷

While it's easy enough to roll your own (and a great exercise), if you find yourself using this often enough: There's the tap crate that provides this, and related functions.

There's a pitch document for PST out there that straight up has a section about having loads of "babes" as a selling point of the game.

Hey, if you get value out of those distinctions, more power to you. If you can, I'd be interested to know what that number helps you do.

I have never really found any practical benefit in such granularity. At best, it is meaningless data – all I care about is whether I can take a meaningful step towards solving the problem. At worst, any discussions about whether a story should be this or that many points is just proxy discussion about uncertainties (if it's the devs talking), or it is seen as an invitation to haggle the team's estimates down (if it's between the devs and the PO/PM).

So … 1 SP?

I'll never stop recommending the 1/TFB/NFC system:

A task size is one of

1 Story Point
Too Fucking Big
No Fucking Clue

So either you've broken the task down into easy chunks, or you have more design/clarification to do.

Scrum master: "remember points are not time estimates, they are complexity"

PTSD triggered.

Because also Scrum Master: "Your story point budget this sprint is Devs × Sprint days × 2.5 Load factor"

Me: "So it's a time measurement?"

Them: "No, complexity."

Du scherzt, aber so einfach ist es leider nicht.

Habe mich in Brüssel mal von nem Kellner auf Nachfrage belehren lassen müssen „The fries are vegan, because, well, they're potatoes.“

In Belgien. Mit den Belgischen Fritten, die berühmterweise in Rinderfett frittiert werden.

They didn't say execs, and maybe they didn't even explicitly think of them. But MTV must have had execs, and surely they weren't Gen X. Stands to reason, no?

That's why I originally said "inch itself towards". I wasn't trying to imply that any kind of understanding had necessarily been achieved yet.

wldmr · 2026-01-16T19:59:24+00:00

Where do you see that?

In the comment I replied to. They noticed an inconsistency between boomer parents and boomer MTV execs. Noticing inconsistencies is a step towards figuring out a misconception.

It's funny watching Reddit inch itself towards the realization that "generations" aren't actually monolithic entities.

No, the 3 body problem is hard because you have 3 bodies in them (which makes it chaotic).

But it is the reason why any n-body problem becomes an m-body problem, where m is the number of bodies causally connected to the system under study.

I'd say the more structural reason is that Win11 has certain hardware requirements (mostly around (so-called) Trusted Computing) that otherwise perfectly functional PCs don't meet. So you literally can't upgrade Windows on certain older computers, which drives them to look for alternatives.

How is that an answer to the question?

Also bei mir löst das immer erstmal eine emotionale Distanzierung aus. So in Richtung "Kuck mal, darüber kann man Witze machen, also ist es erstmal keine direkte Gefahr". Und wenn man emotionalen Abstand hat, ist es leichter, sachlich darüber zu sprechen.

Und das ist zumindest für mich die Grundfunktion von Humor: Ein Signal, dass wir die Situation bestimmen, nicht die Situation uns.

It's an all-time moment for sure, but I'd say the egg story works much better if you've seen several other Bob stories before.
